[Matplotlib-users] error with multi-line vertical ticklabels

[Al S. <a.d...@wo...>]

[ I posted this directly to mat...@li... previously,
but I didn't see it show up there. Sorry if you got this before. --Al]

I found that multi-line ticklabels work fine in normal (hortizontal) 
mode.  However, after a  "set(t, 'rotation', 'vertical')"  the plot fails 
as shown below. The plot window pops up, then disappears.
System is RH linux 9, matplotlib 0.51, pygtk 2.0.0,

Are multi-line labels supported?  In vertical mode too?

Thanks for your help.

### This is based upon the "vertical_ticklabels.py" in /examples.

[ads@ADS1 py]$ cat vertical_ticklabels.py
from matplotlib.matlab import *

plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16])
set(gca(), 'xticks', [1,2,3,4])

t = set(gca(), 'xticklabels', ['Frogs\nOKAY 1', 'Hogs\nFine 2', 
Bogs\nGOOD 3', 'Slogs'])

set(t, 'rotation', 'vertical')  # UNCOMMENT THIS to make the above fail

show()

[ads@ADS1 py]$ python vertical_ticklabels.py

The program 'vertical_ticklabels.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
   (Details: serial 1083 error_code 8 request_code 73 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)
