please check against mpl master about gr HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for the hint. I'll check this ASAP.

I think "High-Level Plotting / GR framework" is a good place for a blurb, although the main idea behind Gr's MPL backend was improving performance and interoperability. May be I find a better place. I'll let you know ...

from gr.

I made some tests and it seems that GR is compatible with mpl master - so there is no need for urgent action. I will have to take a closer look to the new methods (e.g. draw_idle), may be they will allow further performance improvements.

BTW: I had to patch matplotlib/__init__.py to get Matpltlib running on OS X (probably due to a bug in getdefaultlocale() - I don't know, but checking the result and using "utf-8" as the default encoding helped):

@contextlib.contextmanager
def _open_file_or_url(fname):
    if is_url(fname):
        f = urlopen(fname)
        yield _url_lines(f)
        f.close()
    else:
        fname = os.path.expanduser(fname)
        encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]
        if encoding == None:
            encoding = "utf-8"
        with io.open(fname, encoding=encoding) as f:
            yield f

Glad to see that Florian's PR (matplotlib/matplotlib#3710) is already merged.

Good to hear.

Can you make an isses/pr on the mpl side with that change? We have a number
of devs who work on this osx so i find it very worrying that there is an
import bug.

draw_idle is very old, it's importance had just increased recently.
