I have fixed this.  The problem was that when you import pylab, it 
imports a stub "pylab.py" from site-packages, which in turn imports 
everything from matplotlib/pylab.py.  The matplotlib.pylab docstring 
does not get transferred to the newly loaded pylab module, however.  The 
solution was to do that transfer explicitly in the pylab.py stub.  I 
also made slight tweaks to the pylab.py and matplotlib.py docstrings to 
try to clarify the pylab-matplotlib relationship.  The matplotlib 
docstring still blathers on about pylab functions, however; I suspect we 
should change this to something more unique and helpful, such as a 
directory of matplotlib submodules and/or an intro to the useful things 
in matplotlib.__init__.py like rcParams.

Verg good idea -- are you volunteering? :-)

PS: in other news, I find it ironic that the gmail spell checker,
which underlines words it doesn't recognize with a red line (eg
rcParams), doesn't recognize the word "gmail"

[matplotlib-devel] remove artist from axes?

2007-07-15 Thread Paul Kienzle
Hi,

I don't see an obvious way to remove a line from an axes object.

Shall I add remove_child(h) which searches through all the lists
of containers and removes the one that I don't want?

For now I will rerender the graph without the missing child.

[matplotlib-devel] sandbox

2007-07-15 Thread Paul Kienzle
Hi,

I've made some progress on an MPL canvas infrastructure built on top of the
contains() methods patch I submitted earlier (and now in svn).

I would like to post it to svn so that interested parties can play with it
and contribute to the development, but it is not yet ready to be put in the
trunk.  I was browsing the svn tree looking for a sandbox to put it in, but
the closest I found is /matplotlib/branches.  Any objections to me putting 
it into /matplotlib/branches/canvas?

Thanks in advance,

- Paul

I think that would be very useful. TVTK has something similar, and I use
it often. Something to remove the last object added we be great too (I
don't know where the reference to the last object added should be stored,
but there are many places, and perhaps maybe simply as an attribute of
the "remove_last" function. And I suggest that this should not be a
method of axes or a figure, but a pylab function.

Cheers,

Gaƫl
