<p>Before 3.0, <a class="reference internal" href="colorbar_api.html#matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar" title="matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar</span></code></a> (<a class="reference internal" href="_as_gen/matplotlib.figure.Figure.html#matplotlib.figure.Figure.colorbar" title="matplotlib.figure.Figure.colorbar"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">colorbar</span></code></a>) normalized
all axes limits between 0 and 1 and had custom tickers to handle the
labelling of the colorbar ticks. After 3.0, colorbars constructed from
mappables that were <em>not</em> contours were constructed with axes that had
limits between <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">vmin</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">vmax</span></code> of the mappable's norm, and the tickers
were made children of the normal axes tickers.</p>
<p>This version of Matplotlib extends that to mappables made by contours, and
allows the axes to run between the lowest boundary in the contour and the
highest.</p>
<p>Code that worked around the normalization between 0 and 1 will need to be
modified.</p>

<h4><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MovieWriterRegistry</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#moviewriterregistry" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MovieWriterRegistry</span></code> now always checks the availability of the writer classes
before returning them. If one wishes, for example, to get the first available
writer, without performing the availability check on subsequent writers, it is
now possible to iterate over the registry, which will yield the names of the
available classes.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="autoscaling">
<h4>Autoscaling<a class="headerlink" href="#autoscaling" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Matplotlib used to recompute autoscaled limits after every plotting
(<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">plot()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bar()</span></code>, etc.) call. It now only does so when actually
rendering the canvas, or when the user queries the Axes limits. This is a
major performance improvement for plots with a large number of artists.</p>
<p>In particular, this means that artists added manually with <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axes.add_line</span></code>,
<code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axes.add_patch</span></code>, etc. will be taken into account by the autoscale, even
without an explicit call to <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axes.autoscale_view</span></code>.</p>
<p>In some cases, this can result in different limits being reported. If this is
an issue, consider triggering a draw with <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fig.canvas.draw</span></code>.</p>
<p>Autoscaling has also changed for artists that are based on the <a class="reference internal" href="collections_api.html#matplotlib.collections.Collection" title="matplotlib.collections.Collection"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Collection</span></code></a>
class. Previously, the method that calculates the automatic limits
<a class="reference internal" href="collections_api.html#matplotlib.collections.Collection.get_datalim" title="matplotlib.collections.Collection.get_datalim"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Collection.get_datalim</span></code></a> tried to take into account the size of objects
in the collection and make the limits large enough to not clip any of the
object, i.e., for <a class="reference internal" href="_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter" title="matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Axes.scatter</span></code></a> it would make the limits large enough to not
clip any markers in the scatter. This is problematic when the object size is
specified in physical space, or figure-relative space, because the transform
from physical units to data limits requires knowing the data limits, and
becomes invalid when the new limits are applied. This is an inverse
problem that is theoretically solvable (if the object is physically smaller
than the axes), but the extra complexity was not deemed worth it, particularly
as the most common use case is for markers in scatter that are usually small
enough to be accommodated by the default data limit margins.</p>
<p>While the new behavior is algorithmically simpler, it is conditional on
properties of the <a class="reference internal" href="collections_api.html#matplotlib.collections.Collection" title="matplotlib.collections.Collection"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Collection</span></code></a> object:</p>

</div>
<div class="section" id="artist-sticky-edges">
<h4>Artist sticky edges<a class="headerlink" href="#artist-sticky-edges" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Previously, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sticky_edges</span></code> attribute of artists was a list of values such
that if an axis limit coincides with a sticky edge, it would not be expanded by
the axes margins (this is the mechanism that e.g. prevents margins from being
added around images).</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sticky_edges</span></code> now have an additional effect on margins application: even if
an axis limit did not coincide with a sticky edge, it cannot <em>cross</em> a sticky
edge through margin application -- instead, the margins will only expand the
axis limit until it bumps against the sticky edge.</p>
<p>This change improves the margins of axes displaying a <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">streamplot</span></code>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>if the streamplot goes all the way to the edges of the vector field, then the
axis limits are set to match exactly the vector field limits (whereas they
would sometimes be off by a small floating point error previously).</li>
<li>if the streamplot does not reach the edges of the vector field (e.g., due to
the use of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">start_points</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">maxlength</span></code>), then margins expansion will
not cross the vector field limits anymore.</li>
</ul>
<p>This change is also used internally to ensure that polar plots don't display
negative <em>r</em> values unless the user really passes in a negative value.</p>

<div class="section" id="gid-in-svg-output">
<h4><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gid</span></code> in svg output<a class="headerlink" href="#gid-in-svg-output" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Previously, if a figure, axis, legend or some other artists had a custom
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gid</span></code> set (e.g. via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.set_gid()</span></code>), this would not be reflected in
the svg output. Instead a default gid, like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">figure_1</span></code> would be shown.
This is now fixed, such that e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fig.set_gid("myfigure")</span></code> correctly
shows up as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><g</span> <span class="pre">id="myfigure"></span></code> in the svg file. If you relied on the
gid having the default format, you now need to make sure not to set the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gid</span></code> parameter of the artists.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="fonts">
<h4>Fonts<a class="headerlink" href="#fonts" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Font weight guessing now first checks for the presence of the FT_STYLE_BOLD_FLAG

<h4>Default image interpolation<a class="headerlink" href="#default-image-interpolation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>

script would add "png" and "z" to the extensions <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.libraries</span></code> attribute (if
pkg-config information is not available, which is in particular the case on
Windows).</p>
<p>In particular, this implies that the Windows build would look up files named
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">png.lib</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">z.lib</span></code>; but neither libpng upstream nor zlib upstream
provides these files by default. (On Linux, this would look up <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libpng.so</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libz.so</span></code>, which are indeed standard names.)</p>
<p>Instead, on Windows, we now look up <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libpng16.lib</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zlib.lib</span></code>, which
<em>are</em> the upstream names for the shared libraries (as of libpng 1.6.x).</p>
<p>For a statically-linked build, the upstream names are <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libpng16_static.lib</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zlibstatic.lib</span></code>; one still needs to manually rename them if such a build
is desired.</p>

<h4>Packaging DLLs<a class="headerlink" href="#packaging-dlls" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Previously, it was possible to package Windows DLLs into the Maptlotlib
wheel (or sdist) by copying them into the source tree and setting the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">package_data.dlls</span></code> entry in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setup.cfg</span></code>.</p>
<p>DLLs copied in the source tree are now always packaged; the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">package_data.dlls</span></code> entry has no effect anymore. If you do not want to
include the DLLs, don't copy them into the source tree.</p>
