matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

It may of not hit the sf mirror that was randomly picked. Sometimes
the files take about a day to make the rounds. Try running it a few
times, and I bet you will hit one that has it.

Oh right (slaps self on head). You need to set the offset on the
transform and you can't apply that to ax.transAxes since it will screw
up the axes transform... So you need to copy it, or duplicate it.
blend is one way to copy the transform, but there is a better way --
just mimic what axes.py does when it creates it.
 from matplotlib.transforms import unit_bbox, get_bbox_transform
 trans = get_bbox_transform(unit_bbox(), ax.bbox)
this transforms the (0,0), (1,1) bounding box to the axes bounding
box. You can then set the offset of this transform as before...

Can't do that. Puts the text too high, runs into the top bar and the tickm=
arks.
Can't apply the offset to ax.transAxes either -- it changes
*EVERYTHING*. The old "assignment is reference" problem. But if
blend is nearly a no-op, then I'll use it.
I don't need a data component to put the text below the tickmarks. But
I *did* need the magic offset numbers rcParams['xtick.major.size'] and
gcf().dpi/Value(72.), plus your knowledge of scale_transform and
set_offset. And it seems blend_ gives me a copy operator for
transAxes.
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

In addition to the standard downloads I put eggs up for windows/linux
py2.3/2.4 combinations. The pypi download link for matplotlib has
been set to the sourceforge download page. Now you can run
"easy_install -U matplotlib" from linux or windows and it will
automatically look at pypi, redirect to mpl sf download page, find the
right binary depending on your platform, and install matplotlib. This
makes updates/installations pretty trivial.
I will post osx eggs after some more testing.

The 0.86.1 release had some usetex related issues updated. Please try
it and let us know if the issue is still there.

This minor release fixes the windows installer issues. A few updates
snuck in as well.
