matplotlib (0.98.5.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
With this release, we are setting the default backend for matplotlib to
'TkAgg', the lower level of backend suggested by upstream.
You can find documentation about changing the backend in the file:
/usr/share/doc/python-matplotlib/README.Debian
Another change introduced is the removal of 'dvipng' from automatic
installation. The net result is a reduction on the number (and then size) of
packages to download and install to have matplotlib working, since 'dvipng'
takes in 'texlive' (the LaTeX distribution); matplotlib has already a way to
render mathmatical symbols, but if you want to use the tex render, then run
apt-get install dvipng
to reproduce the previous behaviour.
