[matplotlib-devel] Issue with Ellipses and PatchCollections

[Thomas R. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi,

The following code:

from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
p = PatchCollection([Ellipse((0.5,0.5),0.2,0.1)], match_original=True)

raises the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_patches.py", line 5, in <module>
    p = PatchCollection([Ellipse((0.5,0.5),0.2,0.1)], match_original=True)
  File "/Users/tom/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 1041, in __init__
    facecolors   = [determine_facecolor(p) for p in patches]
  File "/Users/tom/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 1037, in determine_facecolor
    if patch.fill:
AttributeError: 'Ellipse' object has no attribute 'fill'

I have submitted a ticket: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=80706&atid=560720

Cheers,

Tom
