matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Thanks to the great work of Robert Johannson, we now have Gtk3 support 
using the GObject introspection Python bindings.  To use, set your 
backend to "Gtk3Cairo" or "Gtk3Agg".

It seems to be working well, but it would be great to get testing on a 
broader set of platforms etc.

Unfortunately, the Gtk3Agg backend will not currently work under Python 
3.  For the gory details, see this:

(On Fedora, you need to install the "pygobject3" package.  Can someone 
report back the package name for the Debian/Ubuntu folks?)

Hi all,

I'm getting an error (with current mpl master) illustrated by this code:

###
from cStringIO import StringIO

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.lines as lines
fig = plt.figure()
l1 = lines.Line2D([0, 1], [0, 1], transform=fig.transFigure, figure=fig)
l2 = lines.Line2D([0, 1], [1, 0], transform=fig.transFigure, figure=fig)
fig.lines.extend([l1, l2])
fig.canvas.draw()

sio = StringIO()
fig.canvas.print_figure(sio, format='png', bbox_inches='tight')
###

Is this a bug, or am I misusing print_figure?

I don't want to open a ticket if it's not a real bug, if it is one
I'll file it on gh.

Thanks,

f
