Yes, I've just started using python2.3, which is almost certainly the 
source of the deprecation warnings.
And yes, I had passed an integer to the text label command. The crash 
seems a bit harsh, but at least I can avoid that now.
I generated a graph with 8 subplots (histograms). I wasn't able to use 
the title command on the subplots, because the title appeared on top of 
the plot above it. And I haven't yet figured out how to give the plot an 
overall title. I'm happy for hints if you have the time. Otherwise I'm 
fairly happy with what I've got (titles inside each subplot, via the 
text command, and no overall title).
 
Thanks! This is great!

( I tried sending this earlier but my mail has been screwed up so my
apologies if you got a duplicate)
I have updated matplotlib in CVS to fix the deprecation warnings for
python2.3. I have tested all of my example scripts and get no
warnings. If you would like to test on your scripts, please let me
know if you get any warnings. I plan to do a bug fix release
tomorrow, so let me know if you are having any troubles.
Anyone else who would be willing to test the CVS version on their
existing python2.2 installs before the bug-fix release, that would
also be great.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I've just started playing with matplot and am VERY impressed.
However, I thought I'd mention two items in case no one else has seen 
them.
1) There are a lot of Deprecation warnings on loading.
2) I can generate an X Window Error via a gdk crash. Here's the tail of 
the trace:
[------
 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/text.py", line 310, 
in _set_font
 self._layout = self._drawingArea.create_pango_layout(self._text)
TypeError: GtkWidget.create_pango_layout() argument 1 must be string, 
not int
The program 'stats.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
 (Details: serial 4152 error_code 8 request_code 73 minor_code 0)
 (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
 that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
 To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
 option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
 backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)
-----]
And here's the code. If you run it as is, it works fine (though the plot 
is ugly.) However, if you uncomment the "set(gca(),...", it gives the 
error.
I've started using matplot in a script to auto-generate a report.
