Re: [Matplotlib-users] Save pdf with plot_surface

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Just curious -- where is the formula for matplotlib in homebrew?  I 
can't find it.  I thought I would look into why that was failing -- it 
may just be simply that it's an old version of matplotlib and this bug 
is now fixed in the latest release.
