[Matplotlib-users] Figure legend for 1.1.0 doesn't properly handle errorbars?

[Sterling S. <sm...@fu...>]

Let me first say that I appreciate the work that the developers have put into matplotlib.  You're doing a great job. 

I have filed a bug report at 

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/533

wherein I post the following

Consider:

from pylab import *
x = arange(0,1,.01)
y = x**2
fig = figure(2)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
errorbar(x,y,yerr=x/10.,label='$x^2$')
errorbar(x,y**3,yerr=x/10.,label='$x^6$')
legend(loc='upper center')
h,l = ax.get_legend_handles_labels()
fig.legend(h,l,loc='lower right')


I am getting the right legend for the axes based legend, but the figure based legend seems to be using the different parts of the errorbar for subsequent handles, instead of using them as a group.  From what I can tell, this has appeared since the upgrade to version 1.1.0.

I am running on Linux, python 2.7, gtkAgg backend.

Thanks,
Sterling
