[matplotlib-devel] method delegation in TextWithDash

[Darren D. <dd...@co...>]

Here is a bug report related to the output of setp(axes().get_yticklabels()), 
the complaint is that you can set the size but size is not listed.

The reason is that TextWithDash has a Text object attribute and delegates most 
of its methods to that object via __getattr__ and __setattr__. Can anyone 
tell me why this approach was favored over deriving TextWithDash from Text?

Thanks, 
Darren
