== Description ==
From the Matplotlib website: matplotlib is a python 2D plotting
library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of
hardcopy formats and interactive environments across
platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, the python and
ipython shell (ala matlab or mathematica), web application servers,
and six graphical user interface toolkits.
== License ==
The Matplotlib license - see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/license.html: Matplotlib only
uses BSD compatible code, and its license is based on the PSF
license. See the Open Source Initiative licenses page for details on
individual licenses. Non-BSD compatible licenses (eg LGPL) are
acceptable in matplotlib Toolkits. For a discussion of the motivations
behind the licencing choice, see Licenses.
== SPKG Maintainers ==
* Jason Grout
== Upstream Contact ==
The matplotlib mailing lists: see http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib
== Dependencies ==
* python
* numpy
* setuptools (>= 0.7)
* freetype
* patch (used in spkg-install)
* dateutil
* pyparsing
* tornado
== Build Instructions/Changes ==
* NOTE: To drastically cut down on spkg size, we delete the internal
testing images. To do this, we repackage the tarball by removing
the contents of lib/matplotlib/tests/baseline_images/*
* setup.py.patch: disable loading of Tests. Otherwise, setup.py
raises an error because it can't find the deleted files
from src/lib/matplotlib/tests/baseline_images/*
* reserved_identifiers.patch: taken from
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2464. This allows
matplotlib to build on Solaris.
* NOTE: as of matplotlib-1.0.0 and Sage 4.6, Sage does not use
$HOME/.matplotlib (or whatever the user has set in MPLCONFIGDIR).
Instead, it sets MPLCONFIGDIR to $DOT_SAGE/matplotlib-VER, where
VER is the matplotlib version number. This is because of
incompatibilities between the contents of .matplotlib between
matplotlib versions 0.99.3 and 1.0.0. Sage reads the version
number VER by running
python -c 'import matplotlib; print matplotlib.__version__'
Note that at the end of the install process for matplotlib, the
spkg-install file prints a message showing what MPLCONFIGDIR will
be set to, using the command from sage-env, so this should provide
a check.
== Changelog ==
=== matplotlib-1.3.1 (John H. Palmieri, 19 December 2013) ===
* Trac #14993: Update matplotlib to 1.3.1.
=== matplotlib-1.2.1 (Jean-Pierre Flori, 28 March 2013) ===
* Trac #13693: Update matplotlib to 1.2.1.
=== matplotlib-1.2.0 (Jason Grout, 09 Nov 2012) ===
* Trac #13693: Update to matplotlib 1.2.0.
* Delete the mkdir race condition patch; it's been incorporated upstream.
=== matplotlib-1.1.0 (Jason Grout, 15 Dec 2011) ===
* Update matplotlib to 1.1.0. See Sage trac #11915.
* Replace the three __init__.py.patch, finance.py.patch, and
texmanager.py.patch patches with one consolidated
mkdir-race-condition.patch (which also updates the exceptions to
use 2.6, 2.7, 3.x style exceptions). This patch has been submitted
upstream now.
* Rebase setupext.py.patch file
* Deleted the src/lib/matplotlib/tests/baseline_images/* test images
to conserve lots of space, and noted this in the special
instructions above.
=== matplotlib-1.0.1.p0 (John Palmieri, 17 Aug 2011) ===
* Patch __init__.py, finance.py, and texmanager.py to avoid race
conditions when creating directories. See Sage trac #11686
and #10159.
* Updated the list of prerequisites in this file.
* Changed spkg-install so that the patches are now applied using
'patch'.
* The patch to setupext.py tests whether pkg-config is installed: if
so, it maintains the status quo, and if not, it passes the argument
'libpng12' when configuring the png package.
* Replaced the "src" directory with a freshly downloaded copy of
the vanilla source code.
=== matplotlib-1.0.1 (Ryan Grout, 10 Jan 2011) ===
* Update to matplotlib 1.0.1. Fixes a handful of annoying bugs in Sage.
=== matplotlib-1.0.0 (Jason Grout, 01 Oct 2010) ===
* Update to matplotlib 1.0.0. Include two upstream fixes that were committed
since 1.0.0.
=== matplotlib-0.99.3-svn8415 (Jason Grout, 11 Jun 2010) ===
* Update to SVN revision 8415 (which is 0.99.3 + some bugfixes we
would like). Removed pprdrv_tt2.cpp patch (no longer needed) and
incorporated the functionality of the setupext.py and setup.py
patches into the make-setup-config.py script, which uses the
matplotlib-supported way to effect the changes. The only other
patch was to change libpng to libpng12; this patch was left as the
patch for setupext.py.
=== matplotlib-0.99.1.p4 (Craig Citro, 14 Jan 2010) ===
* Removed hideous hack, now that OSX 10.6 bug is fixed.
=== matplotlib-0.99.1.p2 (William Stein, 6 Jan 2010) ===
* Re-implemented hideous temporary hack (trac 7865).
=== matplotlib-0.99.1.p2 (William Stein, 29 Sep 2009) ===
* Implemented hideous temporary hack to get around issue with pyCXX crashing
on OS X 10.6
=== matplotlib-0.99.1 (Jason Grout, 22 Sep 2009) ===
* Update to matplotlib 0.99.1. Several of our patches were incorporated
upstream, so deleted those and updated the others.
=== matplotlib-0.99.0 (Jason Grout, August 9th, 2009) ===
* Update to matplotlib 0.99.0
=== matplotlib-0.98.5.3rc0-svn6910.p3 (Michael Abshoff, February 20th, 2009) ===
* Turn off GUI backend unconditionally since they cause trouble on
systems without X, ie. sage.math, too. This might be a bug in Matplotlib,
but until this is resolved it stays off.
=== matplotlib-0.98.5.3rc0-svn6910.p2 (William Stein, February 20th, 2009) ===
* Don't build GUI backends on OS X by default. See trac #5301. This is
really a problem with libpng, so this is temporary.
=== matplotlib-0.98.5.3rc0-svn6910.p1 (Jason Grout, February 14, 2009) ===
* Add a patch for patches.py, which ignores the errors generated when trying
to draw arrows that are "too short".
=== matplotlib-0.98.5.3rc0-svn6910.p0 (Michael Abshoff, February 14, 2009) ===
* link against libpng12 instead of libpng (#4774)
* disable tkagg on all machines since it causes too much trouble
=== matplotlib-0.98.5.3rc0-svn6910 (Jason Grout, February 13, 2009) ===
* Update to the latest SVN version (6910) of Matplotlib and update patches.
Two patches disappear because one patch was just updating quiver.py to a
mid-release version and arrow_line.py is now subsumed by much nicer
functionality in Matplotlib.
* in order to save space, removed the two images src/doc/_static/eeg* and
src/doc/pyplots/(plotmap.png|tex_demo.pdf|plotmap.hires.png|plotmap.pdf)
=== matplotlib-0.98.3.p5 (Michael Abshoff, January 19th, 2009) ===

=== matplotlib-0.98.3.p4 (Michael Abshoff, December 12th, 2008) ===
* apply Craig Citro's OSX build fix (#4680)
=== matplotlib-0.98.3.p3 (William Stein, 25 Nov 2008) ===
* fix so matplotlib may build in a fallback case (there is a stupid bug in
upstreams setupext.py)
== matplotlib-0.98.3.p2 (Jason Grout, 20 Sep 2008) ===
* Update quiver.py to the SVN version 6115 to make the vector field plots
respect aspect ratio.
== matplotlib-0.98.3.p1 (Jason Grout, 03 Sep 2008) ===
* Add an arrow_line.py file as a patch for "nice" arrows in matplotlib
=== matplotlib-0.98.3.p0 (Michael Abshoff, August 27th, 2008) ===
* Merge Ondrej Certik's fix from #3792

* add 64 bit OSX build support
=== matplotlib-0.91.1.p4 (Michael Abshoff, April 14th, 2008) ===
* apply gcc 4.3 build fix - should go upstream
=== matplotlib-0.91.1.p3 (Michael Abshoff, Jan. 31st, 2008) ===
