Arguments
- ``Axes.text()`` / ``pyplot.text()`` do not support the parameter ``withdash``
anymore. Use ``Axes.annotate()`` and ``pyplot.annotate()`` instead.
- The first parameter of `matplotlib.use` has been renamed from ``arg`` to
``backend`` (only relevant if you pass by keyword).
- The parameter ``warn`` of `matplotlib.use` has been removed. A failure to
switch the backend will now always raise an ``ImportError`` if ``force`` is
set; catch that error if necessary.
- All parameters of `matplotlib.use` except the first one are now keyword-only.
- The unused parameters ``shape`` and ``imlim`` of `~.axes.Axes.imshow()` are
now removed. All parameters beyond ``extent`` are now keyword-only.
- The unused parameter ``interp_at_native`` of `.BboxImage` has been removed.
- The parameter ``usetex`` of `.TextToPath.get_text_path` has been removed.
Use ``ismath='TeX'`` instead.
- The parameter ``block`` of ``show()`` is now keyword-only, and arbitrary
arguments or keyword arguments are no longer accepted.
- The parameter ``frameon`` of `.Figure.savefig` has been removed. Use
``facecolor="none"`` to get a transparent background.
- Passing a ``wx.EvtHandler`` as the first argument to ``backend_wx.TimerWx``
is not supported anymore; the signature of ``TimerWx`` is now consistent with
`.TimerBase`.
- The ``manage_xticks`` parameter of `~.Axes.boxplot` and `~.Axes.bxp` has been
renamed to ``manage_ticks``.
- The ``normed`` parameter of `~.Axes.hist2d` has been renamed to ``density``.
- The ``s`` parameter of `.Annotation` has been renamed to ``text``.
- For all functions in `.bezier` that supported a ``tolerance`` parameter, this
parameter has been renamed to ``tolerance``.
- ``axis("normal")`` is not supported anymore. Use the equivalent
``axis("auto")`` instead.
- ``axis()`` does not accept arbitrary keyword arguments anymore.
- ``Axis.set_ticklabels()`` does not accept arbitrary positional arguments
other than ``ticklabels``.
- ``mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Poly3DCollection.set_zsort`` does not accept
the value ``True`` anymore. Pass the equivalent value 'average' instead.
- `.AnchoredText` no longer accepts ``horizontalalignment`` or
``verticalalignment`` keyword arguments.
- `.ConnectionPatch` no longer accepts the ``arrow_transmuter`` and
``connector`` keyword arguments, which did nothing since 3.0.
- `.FancyArrowPatch` no longer accepts the ``arrow_transmuter`` and
``connector`` keyword arguments, which did nothing since 3.0.
- `.TextPath` no longer accepts arbitrary positional or keyword arguments.
- `.MaxNLocator.set_params()` no longer accepts arbitrary keyword arguments.
- `~.Axes.pie` no longer accepts and squeezes non-1D inputs; pass 1D input to
the ``x`` argument.
- Passing (n, 1)-shaped error arrays to `.Axes.errorbar()` is no longer
supported; pass a 1D array instead.
rcParams
~~~~~~~~
- The ``text.latex.unicode`` rcParam has been removed, with no replacement.
Matplotlib now always supports unicode in usetex.
- The ``savefig.frameon`` rcParam has been removed. Set
:rc:`savefig.facecolor` to "none" to get a transparent background.
- The ``pgf.debug``, ``verbose.fileo`` and ``verbose.verbose.level`` rcParams,
which had no effect, have been removed.
- Support for setting :rc:`mathtext.default` to "circled" has been removed.
Environment variables
MATPLOTLIBDATA (no replacement).mathtext
- The ``\stackrel`` command (which behaved differently from its LaTeX version)
has been removed. Use ``\genfrac`` instead.
- The ``\mathcircled`` command has been removed. Directly use Unicode
characters, such as ``'\N{CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A}'``, instead.
