Re: [Matplotlib-users] Bug in Custom Dash List

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

The problem is that a 0-length dash or space is undefined.  In Agg, it 
causes an infinite loop (presumably because the line cursor never 
moves).  Saving it to a PDF file and opening it in Acrobat Reader 
reveals a blank page (presumably because it's doing something smarter, 
but also basically throwing up its hands).  In SVG, you get a solid 
line, which may or may not be the right behavior.

Given that a value of 0 doesn't make much sense anyway, I thought it 
best to just disallow it.  Jeffrey: Do you have a good need for this?

Here's the original PR:
