Hello, The following code should produce identical plots, but in the second case the alpha value is ignored:
--- import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.add_patch(Ellipse((0.5,0.5),0.7,0.3,angle=30,alpha=0.3)) fig.savefig('test1.png') fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.add_collection(PatchCollection([Ellipse((0.5,0.5), 0.7,0.3,angle=30,alpha=0.3)],match_original=True)) fig.savefig('test2.png --- Is this a bug? I'm using the latest svn version of matplotlib.
