[matplotlib-devel] subplot

[Abraham S. <ab...@cn...>]

Hi. I just installed the newest version of matplotlib (0.82), and 
discovered all my subplots were ending on top of each other. After going 
through my code and verifying everything looked okay, I tried a simple:

subplot(2, 1, 1); plot(range(0, 10)); subplot(2, 2, 2); plot(range(0, 10))

and still only got one subplot. I went to the matplotlib code, and after 
some prodding, discovered that all the keys for the _seen map were 
exactly the same. Going to the _make_key function revealed that my use 
of subplot (i.e. three seperate arguments), was not working. Here is a 
fix that seems to work for me:

(int _make_key function):
        if iterable(args[0]):
            key = tuple(args[0]), tuple( fixitems(kwargs.items()))
## NEW
        elif len(args) > 1:
          key = args, tuple( fixitems(kwargs.items()))
## \NEW
        else:
            key = args[0], tuple(fixitems( kwargs.items()))
