Hi all,

I looked for a link where I could find out what’s new in matplotlib 1.4.3,
but there is no one.

Especially I’m interested in the new features of nbagg backend. All I know
is what I read in an email here, namely that *The nbagg backend is looking
great - some pretty swish new features*.
Thanks,

Emilia

Emilia,

There is not a 'whats new' for 1.4.3 as it is a bug fix release and should
not have new features ;)

The new features in nbagg are all related to improved handling of gui
events, in particular keyboard and scroll wheel events. The best way to get
a feel for what nbagg can do is to read through the UAT notebook.

Hi all,
I looked for a link where I could find out what’s new in |matplotlib
1.4.3|, but there is no one.
Especially I’m interested in the new features of |nbagg backend|. All I
know is what I read in an email here, namely that /The nbagg backend is
looking great - some pretty swish new features/.
Thanks,
Emilia
In a recent IPython, try starting up a notebook and using

%matplotlib nbagg

You will find that the embedded plot is fully interactive, complete with
a cursor readout and navigation buttons. I think that's the new part.

Recent means IPython > 2.4.

For 3.0

%matplotlib notebook

will also work.

Did you mean 2.2? It works on 2.3.

That was just adding the "notebook" alias to the `%matplotlib` magic. The
actual underlying functionality has been around for a while longer.
