The 0.99.0 release of matplotlib is available for download. Lots of great new features and tons of bug fixes. Thanks to all the mpl developers for their contributions, and to Christoph Gohlke for the win32 builds, Russell Owen for the OSX testing and bug reports, William Stein for hosting the OSX build box, and Michael Droettboom for the release branch support
Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib What's new: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/whats_new.html OSX users may want to consult http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#os-x-questions Here are the highlights: * mplot3d : Reinier Heeres has ported John Porter's mplot3d over to the new matplotlib transformations framework, and it is now available as a toolkit mpl_toolkits.mplot3d example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/mplot3d/surface3d_demo.html tutorial: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/tutorial.html * axes grid toolkit : Jae-Joon Lee has added a new toolkit to ease displaying multiple images in matplotlib, as well as some support for curvilinear grids to support the world coordinate system example 1: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_curvelinear_grid.html example 2: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/simple_rgb.html tutorial : http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/index.html * axes spines: Andrew Straw has implemented the much awaited support for spines. No longer are your axis lines constrained to be a simple rectangle around the figure -- you can turn on or off left, bottom, right and top, as well as "detach" the spine to offset it away from the data. example: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html * new documentation: Jae Joon has written a guide to legends and annotations: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/plotting/legend.html#plotting-guide-legend http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/plotting/annotation.html#plotting-guide-annotation * Lots of small bug features and bug fixes -- here from the CHANGELOG:: 2009-08-06 Tagging the 0.99.0 release at svn r7397 - JDH * fixed an alpha colormapping bug posted on sf 2832575 * fix typo in axes_divider.py. use nanmin, nanmax in angle_helper.py (patch by Christoph Gohlke) * remove dup gui event in enter/leave events in gtk * lots of fixes for os x binaries (Thanks Russell Owen) * attach gtk events to mpl events -- fixes sf bug 2816580 * applied sf patch 2815064 (middle button events for wx) and patch 2818092 (resize events for wx) * fixed boilerplate.py so it doesn't break the ReST docs. * removed a couple of cases of mlab.load * fixed rec2csv win32 file handle bug from sf patch 2831018 * added two examples from Josh Hemann: examples/pylab_examples/barchart_demo2.py and examples/pylab_examples/boxplot_demo2.py * handled sf bugs 2831556 and 2830525; better bar error messages and backend driver configs * added miktex win32 patch from sf patch 2820194 * apply sf patches 2830233 and 2823885 for osx setup and 64 bit; thanks Michiel 2009-08-03 Fixed boilerplate.py so it doesn't break the ReST docs. - JKS 2009-08-03 pylab no longer provides a load and save function. These are available in matplotlib.mlab, or you can use numpy.loadtxt and numpy.savetxt for text files, or np.save and np.load for binary numpy arrays. - JDH 2009-07-31 Tagging 0.99.0.rc1 at 7314 - MGD 2009-07-30 Add set_cmap and register_cmap, and improve get_cmap, to provide convenient handling of user-generated colormaps.

Default is 'nn', so default behavior (using natural neighbor method) is unchanged (JSW) 2009-07-22 Improved boilerplate.py so that it generates the correct signatures for pyplot functions. - JKS 2009-07-19 Fixed the docstring of Axes.step to reflect the correct meaning of the kwargs "pre" and "post" - See SF bug https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2823304&group_id=80706&atid=560720 - JDH 2009-07-18 Fix support for hatches without color fills to pdf and svg backends. Add an example of that to hatch_demo.py. - JKS 2009-07-17 Removed fossils from swig version of agg backend. - EF 2009-07-14 initial submission of the annotation guide. -JJL 2009-07-14 axes_grid : minor improvements in anchored_artists and inset_locator. -JJL 2009-07-14 Fix a few bugs in ConnectionStyle algorithms. Add ConnectionPatch class. -JJL 2009-07-11 Added a fillstyle Line2D property for half filled markers -- see examples/pylab_examples/fillstyle_demo.py JDH 2009-07-08 Attempt to improve performance of qt4 backend, do not call qApp.processEvents while processing an event. Thanks Ole Streicher for tracking this down - DSD 2009-06-24 Add withheader option to mlab.rec2csv and changed use_mrecords default to False in mlab.csv2rec since this is partially broken - JDH 2009-06-24 backend_agg.draw_marker quantizes the main path (as in the draw_path). - JJL 2009-06-24 axes_grid: floating axis support added. - JJL 2009-06-14 Add new command line options to backend_driver.py to support running only some directories of tests - JKS 2009-06-13 partial cleanup of mlab and its importation in pylab - EF 2009-06-13 Introduce a rotation_mode property for the Text artist. See examples/pylab_examples/demo_text_rotation_mode.py -JJL 2009-06-07 add support for bz2 files per sf support request 2794556 - JDH 2009-06-06 added a properties method to the artist and inspector to return a dict mapping property name -> value; see sf feature request 2792183 - JDH 2009-06-06 added Neil's auto minor tick patch; sf patch #2789713 - JDH 2009-06-06 do not apply alpha to rgba color conversion if input is already rgba - JDH 2009-06-03 axes_grid : Initial check-in of curvelinear grid support.

It is now strictly object-oriented - DSD 2009-05-28 Fix axes_grid toolkit to work with spine patch by ADS. - JJL 2009-05-28 Applied fbianco's patch to handle scroll wheel events in the qt4 backend - DSD 2009-05-26 Add support for "axis spines" to have arbitrary location. -ADS 2009-05-20 Add an empty matplotlibrc to the tests/ directory so that running tests will use the default set of rcparams rather than the user's config. - RMM 2009-05-19 Axis.grid(): allow use of which='major,minor' to have grid on major and minor ticks. -ADS 2009-05-18 Make psd(), csd(), and cohere() wrap properly for complex/two-sided versions, like specgram() (SF #2791686) - RMM 2009-05-18 Fix the linespacing bug of multiline text (#1239682). See examples/pylab_examples/multiline.py -JJL 2009-05-18 Add *annotation_clip* attr. for text.Annotation class. If True, annotation is only drawn when the annotated point is inside the axes area. -JJL 2009-05-17 Fix bug(#2749174) that some properties of minor ticks are not conserved -JJL 2009-05-17 applied Michiel's sf patch 2790638 to turn off gtk event loop in setupext for pygtk>=2.15.10 - JDH 2009-05-17 applied Michiel's sf patch 2792742 to speed up Cairo and macosx collections; speedups can be 20x. Also fixes some bugs in which gc got into inconsistent state ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
