matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
I have attached a patch that addresses the following:
 plot accepts the linestyles arguments '-','--','-.',':' [+ some more]
and the Collection class accepts the
 linestyle arguments 'solid','dashed','dashdot','dotted'.
This patch allows to use both notations. A test script is attached too. 
So its possible to use
 plot(x,y, linestyle='--') # old (preferred) style
 plot(x,y, linestyle='dashed') # now also possible
and also
 contour(Z, linestyles='dotted') # old style
 contour(Z, linestyles=':') # now also possible
The latter case is probably more useful than the first, but both work.
Any comments ?

I'm running Idle via X forwarding to my Windows desktop (running Cygwin).
I've installed tcl/tk and python with Tkinter as a backend.
When I call pylab.show(), I always get the error :
 >>> pylab.show()
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1403, in __call__
 return self.func(*args)
 File 
"/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", 
line 151, in resize
 self.show()

line 155, in draw

line 14, in blit
 _tkagg.tkinit(id(tk), 0)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tkinit'
And an empty matplotlib window opens on my desktop.
Should I try gtk as a backend???
TIA

Hi Michael,
thanks. Unfortunately there is now still some duplicity of text in the 
docs. I've attached a patch (against svn 5008) that fixes this and also 
adds the doc for '+' and 'x' markers which is missing.
