It claimed I didn't meet the minimum pyparsing version needed when I tried
importing matplotlib after installing from source. However, importing
pyparsing on its own yielded a version slightly above the minimum (I forget
the actual numbers).  I had also just came from an build of an older
version of matplotlib.

First, I should say out loud that I'm personally embarrassed by how long 
it's taken to go from release candidate to a final release in the 1.3.0 
cycle.  For those that haven't been following along the hold ups have 
all been along the lines of showstoppers like "won't install on platform 
X", so not just an expectation of absolute perfection.  We're still not 
100% of the way there, but I hope we're real close now.

Part of this is due to the change to setuptools/distribute, and part of 
this is due to procedural things not going as well as they should that 
I'd like some help fixing.

To start with setuptools: That brought a lot of changes and kinks that 
needed to be worked out, and I'm not surprised that it created a few new 
wrinkles.  The question in my mind is whether those wrinkles were a 
one-off result of the transition to setuptools or that similar things 
will reappear in the future.  There was the setuptools/distribute 
remerge that IMHO was handled and communicated badly upstream, where by 
following the explicit directions in the documentation we had a package 
that would no longer install.  It was hard to find the magic incantation 
that would work everywhere, but we got there eventually.  Then there was 
the issue with pyparsing's upgrade where there's now a non-contiguous 
range of version numbers that are compatible with Python 2.x (everything 
*but* 2.0.0).  It's somewhat fortunate that these happened during the 
release candidate cycle so that we could address them quickly.  The 
theme here?  These are problems that get created outside of the control 
of the matplotlib team.  All of this was brought about because including 
copies of our dependencies created its own set of headaches, and 
setuptools is the standard solution to that problem, so that `setup.py 
install` and tools like `pip` will install the dependencies 
automatically.  However, in the bad old days, it was at least possible 
to ship with some things that worked together, unfortunately, those who 
wanted their dependencies external (primarily packagers) were left to 
fend for themselves.  Even though I was the one who spearheaded the move 
to setuptools, I'm wondering whether we shouldn't examine backtracking 
on some of this for the 1.4.x release.

The second issue is more one of process.  When I make a release 
candidate, I announce it here, and Cc all of the packagers of the major 
Linux distributions, as well as Christoph and Russell who put together 
packages for Windows and Mac respectively.  Part of that delegation is 
because I don't have installations of all of those platforms, and part 
is to spread some of the workload.  And most of the time it works really 
well -- a big thanks to everyone involved. However, this cycle there 
have been a small number of critical bugs discovered in the fifth 
release candidate that existed in the first release candidate, which 
doesn't give me a lot of confidence that final won't have critical bugs 
either.  I think some of this will be ameliorated over time as we build 
out a more effective continuous integration infrastructure (see MEP19: 
we could really use some help on this one), but some of it may have to 
do with users being unwilling to test a release until it has the word 
"final" attached. How can we get more ordinary users (who may have even 
more unusual environments) involved?  I also suspect some of it has to 
do with the timing in the summer which hits in the middle of vacations 
and conference travel for many.  We can certainly avoid the summer 
months next time.  But I don't think it's just about building more time 
into the schedule.  Let me know if I'm doing something boneheaded ;)

Sorry.  We could have handled that better.  I think we will probably do 
this again in the future, so we'll have an opportunity to be more 
explicit about these things.

Thanks, David.  I'll let you know.  I am also planning on coming in by 
Google Hangout on Thursday and possibly parts of Friday.

What was the issue?  Is it that you had 2.0.1 which rc5 still considers 
to be incompatible with Python 2?  I'd like to know specifically what 
happened in case there's a deeper issue.

Interesting.  I guess this would depend on what version you were on 
before the switch to rc5.  If 1.2.x, I'm not surprised (since pyparsing 
was included in the source tree then).  If master, I'm not sure what the 
cause would be.

But that only applies to users of git (in which case this is very often 
an issue), and not users who download the tarball or package. I think it 
makes sense to add it to the developer docs, not the INSTALL docs.

Mike

Thanks.  I will address these issues before final.

None of this is new -- we've gone through 5 release candidates over many 
weeks.  Why is this just coming to light now?

Hi,

Just wanted to say that I am currently at the IPython developers' meeting
in case, so I can act as a conduit in case anybody has any suggestions /
comments / bugs related to the matplotlib--IPython interaction.

I'm not quite back to normality here after getting back from over a month
out of the office (Scipy'13 taking a chunk of that time) and didn't manage
to fill in the questionnaire. I guess it doesn't matter too much that I
didn't manage to fill it in (I know my own users, all 250+ of them, pretty
well after all), but I wonder whether there are others in a similar
situation who didn't get a final social nudge to get on and fill in the
questionnaire because time was running out. If we do something similar in
the future I suggest we publish a deadline and push the social media
streams hard up-until that final deadline, just to get those final last
minute-ers (like me). :-)

Anyway, that aside, having quickly glanced at the results of the survey,
I'm really impressed at the quality of the data and how clear some of the
messages in there have come out (i.e. there are backends which are clearly
dead horses). More on that in a separate thread...

Cheers (its good to be back)!

I noticed that this release candidate will always skip the Mac OS X backend,
as the .check() method of BackendMacOSX in setupext.py returns None. Adding
    return "darwin"
or some other string solves the issue.
Also, if I am not mistaken, the files under lib/matplotlib/backends/Matplotlib.nib (as returned by the get_package_data() method of BackendMacOSX in setupext.py) are needed by the cocoaagg backend, not by the MacOSX backend.

Best,
-Michiel.

Just checked out rc5 from git and did an install, and ran into a pyparsing
version check issue.  Turns out I completely forgot to do a "git clean
-fxd".  Doing that fixed the problem.  When we officially announce this,
perhaps it would be best to mention that command?  In addition, it would
probably be a good idea to include this tidbit into the INSTALL?

So, all of the errors appear related to linking _tkagg.so to the various
tkinter and tcl libraries. I see that you have tcl-8.4.7 and tcl-8.5.13,
and it is the 8.4 version that the linker is picking up.  Which version of
tcl do you have the development package for?  Perhaps you have the 8.5
version of the dev packages, would would have newer symbols and the linker
then tries linking against the older library without those symbols? This is
completely a guess, though.

It's been a requirement for time immemorial, but only in 1.3.0 (all of 
the release candidates) has it become an external dependency. What error 
occurred that suggests something changed?

Does `python setup.py install` (of matplotlib) not install it 
automatically?  We are bearing all the pain of setuptools in order for 
that to happen, so if it's not, that's a real problem.

That's probably related to pyparsing 2.0.1 (released just this week).  
I'd like to fix those warnings, but then we'd have to *require* 
pyparsing 2.0.1 (no earlier Python 2.x release of pyparsing includes an 
alternative syntax).  I think pyparsing moved too quickly on this one, 
but I'm not sure what we can do about it. It does make me long for the 
days when we included our dependencies so we have some control over this 
stuff.

That's a puzzler.  I've seen that crop up on Travis erratically as well, 
but not consistently.  It's not clear what's going on here -- will have 
to think on it.

Thanks for all of your work on this!

I have uploaded a binary for MacOS X 10.6 and later.


There were a few oddities this time around:
- matplotlib now requires pyparsing. I don't remember that being a 
requirement before -- even for previous 1.3 candidates.

- I had a lot of trouble with matplotlib complaining that dateutil was 
not present, even though it was in my site-packages. So I tried to 
reinstall it using pip install -U dateutil. Unfortunately pip has never 
heard of "dateutil". After some searching I realized the package name is 
actually "python-dateutil" (and not dateutils, which is a different 
package, alas). Even then, I had to install/upgrade it twice -- for some 
reason matplotlib couldn't find it at first. Very puzzling. I have no 
idea what was going on, but also didn't want to spend a lot of time 
trying to debug it.

- I get a few unit tests failures, including a slew of 
DeprecationWarnings about Operator '<<' that I don't remember seeing 
before. I have appended the test log.

- I first tried building on 10.8 and running on 10.6 (since that's much 
simpler for me). Unfortunately it doesn't work; on 10.6 it acts as if 
the unit tests themselves aren't part of the package. I have no idea 
why. I appended a log snippet showing the basic message, but I haven't 
looked into it further. This sounds worth spending some time tracking 
down.

Log of unit tests, with a few \n inserted for readability.
This is for a package built on 10.6 and running on 10.8.

This should made explicit in the MEP, but I really hope not to our own.  
I'm a developer, not a sysadmin -- I don't have the skills or time to do 
this stuff effectively.

To address your question: both Travis and ShiningPanda (and I suspect 
other hosted testing services) fire up temporary virtual machines for 
each test run.  By design, this virtual machine has no sensitive data on 
it, and thus none to steal in this way. ShiningPanda lets the virtual 
machine be customized upfront, and then cloned and thrown away on each 
test run, and is therefore a little more powerful IMHO.

Indeed.  Testing on a larger matrix of dependencies is something I'd 
like to do, and the results should be managable by human beings ;)

Testing all pull requests means that sandboxing must be taken
seriously. Imagine a pull request that sends spam via email or web
forms, or reads the buildslave password and embeds it in the output. 
I suppose Travis must handle this somehow, but if we're going to roll 
our own, this may need serious thinking.

One thing I would like is to have results from all test cases in a
format that allows them to be compared across the git history and the
build environments, to discover things like "the text tests are failing
with FreeType version X on Python version Y". There's an XUnit XML
plugin for nose, and at least Jenkins has a reporting plugin that can
read that format.

I've used buildbot at work, but with a much smaller range of build
environments. It takes some work to configure but at least the
configuration file is Python, and build steps can run pretty much any
code. The waterfall display you get with the default settings isn't very
much, but e.g. the Chromium project has a useful-looking setup:

https://chromium-build.appspot.com/p/chromium/console

Other options include at least CircleCI (a paid service), but I have no
experience with it.

Not too late -- the implementation has barely begun.

Good point.  I should add that in the MEP as an explicit example of 
another case where the font selection needs to be special-cased.

My thinking was that there would just be engine-specific attributes on 
the font selector, e.g.:

font = FontProperties(family="serif", ps_family="Helvetica")

and then you can pass this into the regular text engine or the PS 
AFM-specific one and they would both know what to do.

But maybe that needs some more thinking.  What I want to avoid is the 
current situation where things change radically when switching text 
engines because they *need* to handle fonts so differently. I'd rather 
make that more explicit -- because I don't think there's any way to make 
font selection work the same way across all of them.  I think that's the 
assumption in the current design and it's not great.  It works fine if 
you say "give me a sans serif font, I don't care which", but beyond 
that, the user needs domain-specific knowldege.  Honestly, this is a 
part of the MEP that I think needs work -- I basically threw up my hands 
as a solution to the problem. Maybe there is a better way.

Yes.  But that's not a change from current behavior.  We've had 
subsetting fonts as Type 3 fonts for *years* and no one has complained 
about the lack of hinting.  And we do provide an option to embed the 
entire original font if necessary (and no reason to remove that).  
What's new in the MEP is that the subsetting would be based on the 
freetype API (and thus be able to read virtually any font as input), 
rather than ttconv (which can only read well-behaved TrueType fonts with 
Macintosh metadata).  This will allow us to support Microsoft-specific 
TTF fonts (the ones that ship with Windows 7 and 8), OpenType fonts and 
Web fonts.

Good point.  We'll need that for the built-in mathtext renderer as well, 
for the same reason.

I'm a bit late to the party, but here are a few thoughts:

What I see as the biggest problem in the current font-selection system
is its opaqueness. You can attempt to specify a style you'd like, but
it's up to the backend to find the relevant font. The naive user has no
way of knowing which font actually got selected, and no way of knowing
how to modify the parameters to get what they want (except if they
stumble upon the way to specify the full path to a font file). Each
backend can override the font-selection code, so e.g. the ps backend
has an option to use only "AFM fonts", meaning the core fonts built into
PostScripts viewers.

The subsetting system proposed in MEP14 (reading the font via FreeType,
then rendering or outputting the outlines into the result) would make
backends consistent with each other, as long as the same text engine is
used. Then at least the OO API could have font selection as an explicit
step, i.e. instead of 

  ax.text(x, y, s, family='serif', style='oblique')

you could write

  font = text_engine.find_font(family='serif', style='oblique')
  ax.text(x, y, s, font=font)

and also query the `font` object for what actual font is being used.
(Or would it look more like ax.text(x, y, text_engine.layout(s, font))?)

If we want to continue support for backend idiosyncracies like
ps.use_afm, I suppose those would need to be parameters to the text
engine.

  ----

The approach of subsetting fonts by writing a new Type-3 font in the
PostScript or PDF file would allow supporting any fonts that FreeType
can read, but this would lose hinting information in TTF and Type-1
fonts. I think we should at least leave open the possibility to embed
the original font (or a directly-derived subset).

  ----

The code that parses DVI files from TeX outputs not only glyphs but also
boxes, which are black rectangles used to implement things like the
underscore character and the varying-length part of the square-root
sign. To support this, I guess TextSpan.get_chars should be able to
return not only TextChar instances but also boxes.

In my experience, the vast majority of users don't read changelog notes, 
so we can't expect people to opt out of something that will change 
and/or break their existing plots.  This is particularly a problem where 
matplotlib is upgraded by a sysadmin or distribution (about 58% percent 
of users, by our survey), because it doesn't even get upgraded on the 
user's timetable, necessarily.  So I think any changes to the defaults 
have to be opt-in.  However, we do have a policy of breaking things 
after a release cycle of deprecation warnings.  So we can change the 
defaults in 1.5 after a round of warnings about them in 1.4 (if an 
explicit style is not set).

I took Nathaniel's suggestion to just mean that default style should be 
selectable by a version number, so the user doesn't have to keep track 
of the mapping between a style set and a version of matplotlib.

Yes -- I agree there, too.  "set_style" vs. "update_style" perhaps? 
("update" used for its similarity to dict.update?)

As one small data point here, from a really excellent paper reviewing
the trade-offs in colormap design and deriving the "cool-warm"
colormap as a good default:

"This diverging color map interpolation has also been added to
ParaView, a free, open-source end-user scientific visualization
application, and was first featured in the 3.4 release in October
2008. Although ParaView does let users change the color map and there
is no way to track who does so, in our experience few users actually
do this. In the nearly 3000 messages on the ParaView users’ mailing
list from October 2008 to July 2009, there was no mention of the
change of color map from rainbow to cool-warm diverging. Users seem to
have accepted the change with little notice despite most users’
affinity for rainbow color maps."

- http://www.cs.unm.edu/~kmorel/documents/ColorMaps/ColorMapsExpanded.pdf

It absolutely should be easy to go back to the way things were, for
reproduction of old carefully hand-tweaked plots etc. But, there are
cases where our defaults are demonstrably terrible; and, these
defaults are demonstrably the direct cause of people producing
unnecessarily inferior plots; and, it's been many years now that this
situation has continued out and nothing has happened because we don't
want to be hasty. At some point we need to bite the bullet and make
these things better.

-n

I had the same question about opt-out vs opt-in. Personally, I vote for
opt-out. I would like to see each release of MPL have an associated style
(which may be the same as the last release, but maybe not). With Tony's
style PR, users that need constant styles would either put
`style.use('1.3')` in their script, or `style: 1.3` in an rcParams file.
This would then freeze the style FOR-EV-ER (sandlot voice). However, the
default would be `style: latest`, so that the default user benefits from
the community's effort into making the best possible set of defaults. Is
that sufficiently pain-free for people who want future proofing? Or do you
think styles must be opt-in (which, effectively, means that defaults cannot
change).

I'm not sure if I understand what you're getting at re:
approximately_emulate. I'm in favor of two modes for style loading -- some
kind of lazy version that only touches the options explicitly addressed in
the file, and an explicit version that defaults all other options to
something. Thus, explicit loading would guarantee that a style never
changes.

I'm saying that there needs to be a transition period, and the start of 
that transition would be to require an explicit opt-in of the new defaults.

I like this version idea.  (Not sure about the name 
"approximately_emulate", but that's a detail...)  Other tools (sphinx, 
for example) have a way of declaring what version was used when 
something was created.  If the user says:

matplotlib.styling_required('1.2')

then, if we're on 1.3, we do our best to load the styling defaults from 
1.2, and display a warning to the effect "this plot was written for 
matplotlib 1.2, we're running 1.3, so we're entering 1.2 compatibility 
mode, but some things still may be broken.  See the changes 
documentation".  (Again, we can work on the exact wording later).

I think this is a nice approach.  I still think the ability to load 
arbitrary styles from files, online etc. is required, though. There's 
really two issues to resolve here: one is to make sharing of styles 
easier (to have an institutional or publication style, for example), the 
other is to transitition to better defaults with as little breakage and 
pain as possible.  I think we need to do both.

Are you saying that the defaults can't change (i.e., any changes must
be opt-in), or just that there needs to be some transition period
before the defaults can change and a simple way to opt out afterwards?
I agree with the latter :-).

I have mixed feelings about a full "styling system" though, since, how
many coherent "styles" for plots are there? If we provide a menu of
plot styles right in the main documentation then it seems like it
would just end up being an excuse for people to procrastinate playing
with the different settings, and increase the number of manuscripts I
read that have baroque and poorly chosen colormaps, plots that use the
"ggplot as drawn by xkcd" style, etc. And what value would it really
add? IMO we have a responsibility to nudge users towards making good
plots, and that means having good defaults, and perhaps also means
encouraging people to use them instead of just picking things that
optimize some vague aesthetic judgement at 2am before the submission
deadline...

How about
  mpl.approximately_emulate(<version number>)
which sets the defaults to whatever version of matplotlib is named?
That could be used a-priori by people who want to future-proof their
scripts, is very easy to add after the fact if you upgrade matplotlib
and discover some plot of yours has been broken, and also encompasses
the "future" functionality (you could ask your current matplotlib to
emulate the next version, if it knows how).

The advantage of a limited API that just takes a version number is not
just that it's simpler on the backend (no need for a system to name
and discover styles, etc. etc.), but it can also easily encapsulate
knowledge like "the defaults were the same from 0.99 through 1.2, so
if anything in that range is requested use *this* file, but then in
1.3...". This means that if a user knows that their plot worked on 1.1
but broke on 1.4, they don't have to care -- they can just say
  mpl.approximately_emulate("1.1")
instead of having to somehow figure out that the right call is:
  mpl.style("0.99-through-1.2")

Chris,

Thanks for outlining some of the issues with the defaults.  I agree 
wholeheartedly and also agree that most of these are simple objective 
improvements, and have nothing to do with wishy-washy things like 
"aesthetics".

My objections to changing the defaults have nothing to do with the fact 
that it would be hard to find subjective improvements -- I agree a lot 
can be done that would be easy to get consensus on. Eric said it better 
than I could:

    inevitably there will be users who will be distressed when they
    upgrade and suddenly find that all their plots--perhaps generated
    automatically by their cron jobs or web apps--look very different,
    and perhaps don't even work well with the new defaults.


This is why I suggested that the best way forward is to implement some 
sort of easy styling functionality (like what Tony Yu has submitted in 
#2236, though I haven't had a chance to look at it yet), and make it 
explicit for the user to select a new style. This could be either by 
adding a new line to the top of the plotting script, or adding a single 
switch in the global matplotlibrc file.  But there needs to be an 
explicit turning on of this.  To the extent that some things can't be 
changed with rcParams, we can address those on a case-by-case basis.

Another thing that we could do would be to borrow from the "from 
__future__ import" concept in Python.  Then users could say:

    style('future')

at the top of their script and see what it will look like in the default 
styling of the next version of matplotlib -- keeping the old defaults as 
default.
