Description
Using local install of current git master - the following code works with the tkagg backend, but raises an error with the macosx backend:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('macosx')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
im = plt.imshow([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
fig.canvas.draw()
ax.draw_artist(im)
Error for macosx backend is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "draw_artist.py", line 8, in <module>
ax.draw_artist(im)
File "/Users/mb312/dev_trees/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes/_base.py",
line 2423, in draw_artist
raise AttributeError(msg)
AttributeError: draw_artist can only be used after an initial draw
which caches the render
It seems to me that the previous call fig.canvas.draw() is the "initial draw" that should cache the renderer. So, is this a bug?
