[with patch, positive review] upgrade matplotlib to 0.98.3 release

[mabshoff]

matplotlib 0.98.0 is a major release which requires python2.4 and numpy 1.1. It contains significant improvements and may require some advanced users to update their code; see migration and API_CHANGES. We are supporting a maintenance

[jason]

I think we need to upgrade to numpy 1.1.0 and do this upgrade simultaneously. I think they each require the other.

[jason]

(see #3390 for the numpy 1.1.0 upgrade spkg).

[tabbott]

matplotlib-sage.patch is (at least part of) what is needed to get sage to work with matplotlib 0.98; (they renamed matplotlib.patches.lines to matplotlib.lines).

Ignore matplotlib-sage.2.patch.

[jason]

We might as well upgrade to matplotlib 0.98.3 now.

[jason]

Apply instead of above

[jason]

the matplotlib-sage.3.patch above includes the other two patches and should be applied instead. the .3.patch file also includes several more fixes for things added in 3.1.1.

New spkg up at  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/matplotlib-0.98.3.spkg

This depends on the numpy 1.1 spkg at #3390.

[mabshoff]

Spkg and patch look good to me. I integrated Ondrej's fix from #3792 and did some cleanups to SPKG.txt. The new spkg is at

With the following code all doctests pass:

    def _render_on_subplot(self,subplot):
        options = self.options()
        c = to_mpl_color(options['rgbcolor'])
        a = float(options['alpha'])
        s = int(options['pointsize'])
        scatteroptions={}
        if not faceted: scatteroptions['edgecolors'] = 'none'
        subplot.scatter(self.xdata, self.ydata, s=s, c=c, alpha=a, **scatteroptions)

[mabshoff]

Merged both patches in Sage 3.1.2.alpha1

[jason]

uh, as per mabshoff's request that I post something here, that last patch that he merged fixing the doctest looks reasonable, but I haven't actually applied it or doctested it or anything.
