Mike,
Yes, like you I thought we had included it on the to-be-removed list,
but evidently I remembered incorrectly.
Here is the history of the file:
10 months jdh2358 removed pre py2.4 compatability code and some
other dead code
10 months mdboom Merged revisions 5106-5108 via svnmerge from
18 months mdboom Refactoring of FigureCanvas*.print_figure so that
each backend does
19 months efiring Use pickle to cache entire fontManager instance.
21 months nnemec remove trailing spaces
2 years cmoad added rotation arg to draw_arc method everywhere it was
missing
2 years jdh2358 added custom figure class hook
2 years jdh2358 fixed figimage bug
3 years jdh2358 added Aarre linestyle fix for emf backend
3 years dsdale added **kwargs to all backend_*.print_figure
3 years jdh2358 made the rc warnings a bit more readable
3 years jdh2358 added pyemf
I think it should be removed now. If someone comes forward with a
strong commitment to update and maintain it, it can be reinstated
easily--after that person has done the updating required to make it work
in the trunk.
