[matplotlib-devel] Axes.scatter call fails since removal of PyCXX

[Joel B. M. <jo...@ki...>]

I think I see a breakage of the scatter call that I think should work and did
work before
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/be34210a8c09fcd639ece583eb5c0acb855222b6

This is running on windows 7 (32 bit) with numpy 1.8 and current master.

The example is:

***
import numpy
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure

POINTS = 500

figure = Figure(figsize=(6, 6), dpi=72)
ax = figure.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection=None)
scat = ax.scatter(numpy.arange(POINTS), numpy.sin(numpy.arange(POINTS)))
***

I get on current master

***
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\work\mpl_scatter_example.py", line 9, in <module>
    scat = ax.scatter(numpy.arange(POINTS), numpy.sin(numpy.arange(POINTS)))

    offsets, transOffset.frozen())

    master_transform, paths, transforms, offsets,offset_transform))
ValueError: object too deep for desired array
***

I did very little troubleshooting beyond confirming that this works before the
merge mentioned in the first paragraph.
