matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi,
Do the online docs automatically update themselves from changes in SVN? I
thought there was a nightly cron. I made some changes a few days ago (just a few
typos) and they haven't shown up online yet. The changes were to
doc/users/shell.rst. I'm assuming I should see the corresponding changes on
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/shell.html.

John,
Not quite "always": I think that for something like cbook.is_string_like 
we actually *do* want to silently catch all exceptions. The problem is 
that if you know nothing about the type of object that you might have to 
deal with, you have no way of knowing what exception it might raise. We 
ran into an example of this recently.

Yep, it must have been a bug because it doesn't follow the naming
conventions for the set_property funcs. Fixed on branch and trunk.
Thanks for tracking me down as the culprit :-)

No, it is a bug. Catching blanket exceptions and ignoring them is
never OK -- we need to add a section to the coding guide to this
effect. If absolutely necessary, one can catch blanket exceptions and
log them, eg using cbook.exception_to_str, but they must be reported.
Michael has already fixed this (perhaps it was some detritus left in
from a debugging session?) and I'll make a note in the developer docs
coding guide.

Sorry. That was a mistake to commit it -- I did this while I was trying 
to track down a segfault. I will revert it.

John, you made the change on Dec. 10:
http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/matplotlib_mirror/diff/0a8f5203a8fd/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/lines.py
Looks accidental to me.

Hi,
I just updated my checkout to rev 6829, and it seems lines.Line2D.set_pickradius 
has been renamed to setpickradius. Is this a typo? get_pickradius still exists. 
This is on line 318 in lines.py. Renaming it back to set_pickradius seems make 
it work the way it used to.
Cheers,
Martin

Michael,
It seems that the gtk backend in the current svn silently ignores ALL
exceptions raised during the drawing.
http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py?r1=6696&r2=6793
Is this necessary? I don't think we want to do this.
