[Matplotlib-announce] matplotlib 0.84

[John H. <jdh...@ac...>]

Hi all,

This is a quick release in advance of scipy this Thursday.  I'm short
on time right now so I'll just paste in the CHANGELOG since the last
release.  I also have not been able to make a binary build for
python2.3 on win32, but there is a 2.4 version.  I'll get this all
sorted out next week.


2005-09-14 Added a new 'resize_event' which triggers a callback with a
           backend_bases.ResizeEvent object.  Not implemented on all
           backends - JDH

2005-09-14 font_manager.py: removed chkfontpath from x11FontDirectory() - SC

2005-09-14 Factored out auto date locator/formatter factory code into
           matplotlib.date.date_ticker_factory; applies John Bryne's
           quiver patch.

2005-09-09 Added support for auto canvas resizing with
           fig.set_figsize_inches(9,5,forward=True) # inches
           OR
           fig.resize(400,300)  # pixels

2005-09-07 figure.py: update Figure.draw() to use the updated
           renderer.draw_image() so that examples/figimage_demo.py works again.
           examples/stock_demo.py: remove data_clipping (which no longer
           exists) - SC

           only relevant for ContourMappable images - JSWHIT

2005-08-24 Fixes a PS image bug reported by Darren - JDH

2005-08-23 colors.py: change hex2color() to accept unicode strings as well as

           Increase svg version from 1.0 to 1.1. Add viewBox attribute to svg
           element to allow SVG documents to scale-to-fit into an arbitrary
           viewport - SC

           for the patch) - SC
