These instructions are for an ubuntu based system -- if you are on a
different version of linux you may need different commands to install git
and the mpl build dependencies

# install git to checkout the mpl src code
sudo apt-get install git

# install the pre-reqs to build matplotlib from source
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib

# get the latest released branch of matplotlib
git clone g...@github.com:matplotlib/matplotlib.git matplotlib.git

# cd into the matplotlib directory and create a branch off of the release
branch to test
cd matplotlib.git
git checkout -b mdboom-pixel_marker v1.1.x

# pull in Michael's changes
git pull https://github.com/mdboom/matplotlib.git pixel_marker

# build the matplotlib source code
python setup.py build

# install it
sudo python setup.py install
