Changes for 0.40

• Artist

  • init takes a DPI instance and a Bound2D instance which is the bounding box of the artist in display coords
  • get_window_extent returns a Bound2D instance
  • set_size is removed; replaced by bbox and dpi
  • the clip_gc method is removed. Artists now clip themselves with their box
  • added _clipOn boolean attribute. If True, gc clip to bbox.

• AxisTextBase

  • Initialized with a transx, transy which are Transform instances
  • set_drawing_area removed
  • get_left_right and get_top_bottom are replaced by get_window_extent

• Line2D Patches now take transx, transy

  • Initialized with a transx, transy which are Transform instances

• Patches

  • Initialized with a transx, transy which are Transform instances

• FigureBase attributes dpi is a DPI instance rather than scalar and new attribute bbox is a Bound2D in display coords, and I got rid of the left, width, height, etc... attributes. These are now accessible as, for example, bbox.x.min is left, bbox.x.interval() is width, bbox.y.max is top, etc...

• GcfBase attribute pagesize renamed to figsize

• Axes

  • removed figbg attribute
  • added fig instance to init
  • resizing is handled by figure call to resize.

• Subplot

  • added fig instance to init

• Renderer methods for patches now take gcEdge and gcFace instances. gcFace=None takes the place of filled=False

• True and False symbols provided by cbook in a python2.3 compatible way

• new module transforms supplies Bound1D, Bound2D and Transform instances and more

• Changes to the MATLAB helpers API

  • _matlab_helpers.GcfBase is renamed by Gcf. Backends no longer need to derive from this class. Instead, they provide a factory function new_figure_manager(num, figsize, dpi). The destroy method of the GcfDerived from the backends is moved to the derived FigureManager.

  • FigureManagerBase moved to backend_bases

  • Gcf.get_all_figwins renamed to Gcf.get_all_fig_managers

Jeremy:

Make sure to self._reset = False in AxisTextWX._set_font.  This was
something missing in my backend code.
