I have problems with matplotlib since some recent update. I dont know if this is a bug of matplotlib or gentoo. The problem is that when plotting a chart based on time, then some things are missing: * dates on the horizontal axe * vertical dotted lines corresponding to unit dates Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To be sure i've done this: * masked >dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.3 * wiped /etc/matplotlib * emerged dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.3 * checked it works * unmasked it * updated: [ebuild U ] dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.5 [0.98.3] USE="cairo latex qt3 qt4 wxwindows -doc -examples -fltk -gtk -tk" * checked it doesn't work
Created attachment 175551 [details] file created with matplotlib 0.98.5, showing the bug
Created attachment 175552 [details] file created with matplotlib 0.98.3, showing how it was until this update.
Hi, Could you try matplotlib-0.98.5.2 and see if you can reproduce? Thanks.
where can i find it ? it's not attached here, nor is it on the portage tree : http://packages.larrythecow.org/?v=pkg&c=dev-python&s=matplotlib

as i said, it was not on the main tree when i checked. I've tried with dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.5.2, and the behaviour is the same as with 0.98.5 (see the file activity_bug.png). So yes, i can reproduce with 0.98.5.2 :-(
Hi, I could not reproduce this behaviour with the following bit: install matplotlib with USE=examples, then: # cd /usr/share/doc/matplotlib-0.98.5.2-r1/examples/pylab_examples/ # python date_demo2.py Could you check the example cited above, it might be a problem in your code. Thanks.
well, the example works fine. But the behaviour clearly has changed. I can reproduce my bug with dev-python/matplotlib-0.98.5.2
This is most likely an unwanted feature then, not a Gentoo bug. Please contact upstream with your code. Re-open if you see this is indeed a Gentoo problem. Thanks.
