[matplotlib-devel] marker color handling

[Norbert N. <Nor...@gm...>]

Hi Eric, hi everybody,

I just noticed that you, Eric, have committed r2799 to SVN which partly
reverts my commit r2790.

I understand that, obviously, the changes that I introduced are more
controversial than I would have expected, so we should try to reach an
agreement.

Was your objection generally about my patch or just about some detail? I
know that the patch might have broken a bit of compatibility, but since
the old logic was inconsistent and hard to understand, I figured that a
cleaner and simpler logic would justify a some possible break of
compatibility.

If you disagree with some change in principle, I would like to know your
objection. If there simply was a bug introduced by the change, I
appologize and hope I can fix it.

In any case, I have to point out that the current state of the SVN code
after the partial reversion of my commit is not self-consistent: My
commit changed several files besides axes.py - only reverting this one
file is bound to cause problems.

Greetings,
Norbert
