I don't know, but in general, copying individual files from svn is very 
risky; changes might have been committed that only work when all 
affected files are updated.
I think that what you may need to do is either learn to build from svn, 
and accept that this is a bleeding edge and you will get cut now and 
then, or stick to unmodified releases, and use workarounds in your own 
code for whatever bugs and shortcomings you stumble over.

I have copied the new patches.py and axes.py. It fixed the fill, but I
still have an axes instance that is not closed.
x1, x2, y1, y2 = -4, 4, -4, 4
ax1 = axes([0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0], axisbg='0.95')
ax2 = axes([0.2, 0.1, 0.6, 0.8], axisbg='w')
ax2.fill([x1,x2,x2,x1], [y1,y1,y2,y2], fc='None', ec='r')
xlim(x1-2,x2+2)
ylim(y1-2,y2+2)
Do I need more than the files that I have copied?

Out of curiosity, what do you use in pstricks that pgf does

I'm having a problem with the bbox keyword to the text() function. The 
code below, for me, results in one postscript file that looks fine, but 
the PNG file has letters outside of the bounding box for most of the 
words I plot.
I'm using matplotlib '0.98pre' on Mac OS X.
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
from pylab import *
x = array([6,7,8,9,10])
y = array([6,7,8,9,10])
fig = figure()
plot(x,y,'rx')
hold('on')
fontdict2 = {'fontweight':'light',
 'color': 'k',
 'fontsize':9}
words = ['Hi','Goodbye','What''s this','Aloha','So long, farewell']
for i in range(0,len(x)):
 tx = x[i]
 ty = y[i]
 word = words[i]
 text(tx,ty,word,fontdict2,bbox={'facecolor':'w'})
savefig('textplot.eps')
savefig('textplot.png')
close(fig)

I'm sure its feasible, but probably not practical: I don't think there is 
enough demand for a pstricks backend to make it worth the development time 
and the longterm commitment to support it.

Hi,
I use pstricks frequently, and it has provided an alpha channel
(provided we eventually use ps2pdf). With matplotlib, when I save to
eps, I lose all transparency (understandable), but I wonder if it is
possible to export the picture as a bunch of pstricks commands, which,
after using ps2pdf, would give transparency.
Yes, I am aware of pdflatex which supports pdf, but I need pstricks
(and I haven't yet explored pst-pdf). Either way, a pstricks-backend
would be quite nice! Is this feasible?

Has this been reported to Apple?

 I have had horrible luck with bdist_mpkg for the last several months.
I did poke at the setuptools code and it looks like we just won't be able to
make it happy with a universal binary. The preferred extensions have ppc or
i386 in them depending on your arch. I think the best way to move forward
is to just post binaries for each architecture and not have a universal
build.
 I statically compile in universal builds of libpng and freetype so
end-users don't have to worry about it. I just build these by hand and the
process is documented here:

setuptools really don't seem to be living up to their (its?) promise.
Would it be hard to go back to *.mpkg binaries? We'd have to do one for 
Apple's python, and one for python.org's, but that should be pretty 
easy, at least for someone running Leopard.
Or is bdist_mpkg not working for MPL anymore?
Charlie, where/how did you get the Universal libs for the dependencies?

Honestly there's very little to my style -- it just adds thin lines 
above each class, method, function etc. to make them easier to 
separate. Other than that, it's the stock Sphinx CSS.

The peculiar point is that it seems to work normally, but not when I
create the deb package, so it's probably Debian specific. I'll ask on
the numpy list if I won't figure it out myself.

Thanks, looks good. Very nice docs.

Make sure you rm -rf the numpy* install dirs. I think people have
seen similar problems trying to install over old numpys (ditto for mpl
0.98)
I posted a snapshot of the docs at:

Yes, I am very interested, especially I wanted to see Michael's CSS
styles. If you could post it on the web somewhere, it'd be awesome.
In the meantime, I am trying to package numpy 1.1 for Debian, but when
I installed it and did "import numpy", I got:
ImportError: No module named ma
So now I am going to figure out what's wrong. Anyway, that's why I
prefer proven software in Debian, so that I don't have to fix such
problems to see the docs. :) I need to fix the problem at some point
though anyway, so I'll do it now.

Yes, the docs project is specifically for the 0.98 svn trunk, which
requires numpy 1.1
I can post some build snapshots on the web ocassionally if people are
interested.

My system wide matplotlib is 0.91.2-2. I tried to install the one from
svn, but it requires numpy 1.1, which is not yet in Debian. So if it
is not possible to generate the docs without numpy 1.1, I'll wait
until it gets into Debian.
Thanks,
