[matplotlib-devel] Experimental, traited config module available in svn
I just committed changes in svn that will allow matplotlib to use the experimental traited mplconfig module. The traited config object itself is called mplConfig, but I wrapped it in an object called rcParams to make it compatible with matplotlib, so we can kick the tires without extensive changes. Some notes: - All of the code associated with reading config files and creating config objects has been organized into an experimental config package, and is therefore disabled by default. To enable the config package, set "NEWCONFIG = True" in matplotlib.__init__.py. - Once enabled, the config package supports either the old matplotlibrc files (used by the rcparams module) or the newer matplotlib.conf files (used by the traited mplconfig module). The config package defaults to the traited mplconfig option. The config package will use the old matplotlibrc system if you set "USE_TRAITED_CONFIG = False" in matplotlib/config/__init__.py -The traited config module will create a new matplotlib.conf file from a standard matplotlibrc file when appropriate. -Fernando's tconfig module will not work with the version of traits ships with matplotlib (we can update our version when Enthought makes their release). This will get you a more recent version: sudo easy_install -f http://code.enthought.com/enstaller/eggs/source/unstable "enthought.traits < 3.0a" I ran backend_driver with the traited config enabled, and the only errors I got were related to broken mathtext support in backend_svg, and I think those are unrelated to my changes. If you have the luxury, please update from svn and try working with the traited config module enabled. Any feedback would be appreciated. Darren - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

That was exactly the problem, I forgot to add the new file to the setup script. It is fixed in svn 3640. Darren - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Experimental, traited config module available in svn
Darren, When I make a clean build and install, set NEWCONFIG, and try to run I get a permission problem. It looks like the problem is that the global matplotlib.conf is not getting generated and installed at build/install time, but I have not investigated it. Eric convert!

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Experimental, traited config module available in svn
Darren, It looks like there is a problem with the grid lines. Although the matplotlib.conf file is specifying linestyle = ':', and False for the axes.grid parameter, everything is coming up with solid lines (see barh_demo.py, for example) by default. It looks like those two keys are not setting their respective rcParams entries. Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

I'll look into it when I get a chance. Darren - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Darren, barh_demo turns the grid on for the first plot only, but the grid is shown for both. ipython -pylab also plots with a grid by default, and shows In [3]:rcParams['axes.grid'] Out[3]:True I have not made any matplotlib.conf other than the one that is now being installed correctly in mpl-data, and it contains # display grid on regular or polar axes grid = False polargrid = True grep indicates the True value is coming from mplconfig: config/mplconfig.py:grid = T.Trait(True, mplT.BoolHandler()) config/rcsetup.py:'axes.grid' : [False, validate_bool] so it looks like somehow this mplconfig initialization is overriding the value in matplotlib.conf.
