matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Unless I send this when I notice it, I'll forget to send it.
But I'm not so cold hearted as to hope for any response from
John during the early weeks of fatherhood!

If a plot makes use of both axhline() and axis(), then
axis() must come last or the results are not as expected.
Actually I have found it often desirable for axis to come
last, but I will simply raise the question of whether this
need---possibly surprising to a new user---might be
transcended.

fwiw,
Alan Isaac

PS Best wishes to John in his newest and most creative endeavor.

Hello again,

I found the solution : in file transforms.py I changed the lines 181-183 
by replacing :

from _transforms import ...

with :

from _nc_transforms import ...

The file _transforms.so is apparently not built, only the _nc_ and _na_ 
versions are built.

Note that is also works with :

from _na_transforms import ...

It didn't work OTOB with my rather old matplotlib and it gave me a good 
reason to upgrade. :-)

Congratulations and best wishes for the whole family!
