Re: [Matplotlib-users] bug in zorder example

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

It is doing it every where.  Also look at the tick above the 2 on the
bottom it is slightly clipped.

It is definitely seems worse on the top, which might be showing a
fence-post issue in the clipping/Agg rendering.

As the OP points out zooming in on
http://matplotlib.org/mpl_examples/pylab_examples/zorder_demo_01.pdf makes
it really obvious that this is the case everywhere.

That said, I don't think that this is a 'bug' persay.  We have to pick
_some_ zorder for the frame and 2.5 is is good as any other.  We do have a
documentation problem as I don't know where that information is other than
in the source.
