[matplotlib-devel] cbook.get_sample_data() and custom sample_data location

[Sandro T. <mo...@de...>]

Hello,
for the Debian package, we install sample_data directory in a custom
location, /usr/share/matplotlib/sample_data/ .

Pre-1.2.0 we could specify the examples.directory rcParam, but now
that parameter has been removed.

If we want to keep shipping sample_data in /usr/share/matplotlib/ , it
seems the only solution is to patch cbook.get_sample_data() to set

root = '/usr/share/matplotlib/'

Is that correct or is there another solution i'm not seeing?

Regards,
