This is fixed in cvs. The report can be enabled by setting 
verbose.level=helpful in matplotlibrc.

Figured it out.
For posterity:
import matplotlib.cbook
majorLabelText =3D [axis.major.formatter(x,i) for i, x in
 cbook.enumerate(axis.major.locator())]
will get you the text and the labels are accessable via:
majorLabels =3D [tick.label1 for tick in axis.get_major_ticks() if
tick.label1On] +\
 [tick.label2 for tick in axis.get_major_ticks() if tick.label=
2On]
There's a convenience function for the major labels but not for the
minor, so I do it this way for both.

Hello -
It was brought to my attention that when matplotlib is installed on win32,
the .matplotlib directory is not created in the \Documents and
Settings\username directory until matplotlib is imported once (for exampe
from pylab import *). This causes some confusion for new users in the
installation process (like the students in my class). One of the problems i=
s
that many users cannot create a directory with the name '.matplotlib', as X=
P
requires a folder to have a name, not just an extension (those MS guys...).
Can the install script be modified to create this directory (and preferably
put the matplotlibrc file in it) when matplotlib is installed?
Thanks,
Mark

Well, since it is open source software, you can always go into that
file Nils and comment out the warning and reinstall...

Not at present. I wanted to make this warning a call to verbose.report, but 
couldnt get it to work. The report was not printed. I'll look into it again 
this morning.

Is it possible to disable this message when importing matplotlib ?
>>> import matplotlib
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:729:
UserWarning: ghostscript-8.15 found. ghostscript-8.16 or later is
recommended for use with the text.usetex option.

Good morning,
>Could it be that you don't have numpy as your rc setting in matplotlib?
Yes, because I 've installed scipy_core, scipy and of course Numeric to get
matplotlib-0.86 working properly... So, immediately a question arises: "If I
install NumPy-0.9.4 (old embosomed name;-) ) and SciPy-0.4.4 could
matplotlib-0.86.2 work with the array interface now?"
Sorry for not following the discussions on different lists...
Cheers

I'm working on some custom graphs [1] and want the ability to vary the
label based on the content of the label. The problem is that the label
text (majorTick.label1._mytext.get_text()) doesn't get filled until
the graph is plotted. Any help would be appreciated.

I basically want 'Jan 11' and 'noon' to be highlighted. At the moment
I'm just highlighting every fourth major tick.
