The :meth:`~matplotlib.axes.projections.polar.PolarAxes.set_rorigin` method may

The :meth:`~matplotlib.projections.polar.PolarAxes.set_theta_zero_location` now

has an optional :code:`offset` argument. This argument may be used to further

specify the zero location based on the given anchor point.

parameter to ``jshtml``. One can also call the ``anim_to_jshtml`` function

to manually convert an animation. This can be displayed using IPython's

``HTML`` display class::

A :func:`get_status` function has been added the :class:`matplotlib.widgets.CheckButtons` class. This :func:`get_status` function allows user to query the status (True/False) of all of the buttons in the CheckButtons object.

The mpl_toolkits class

Annotations now use the default arrow style when setting `arrowprops={}`,

:class:`~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D` now accepts ``proj_type`` kwarg and has a method :meth:`~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D.set_proj_type`. The default option is ``'persp'`` as before, and supplying ``'ortho'`` enables orthographic view.

:class:`~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D` now has a ``voxels`` method, for

visualizing boolean 3d data. Uses could include plotting a sparse 3D heat map,

or visualizing a volumetric model.

When using the :func:`quiver` and :func:`barbs` plotting methods,

it is now possible to pass dates, just like for other methods like

:func:`plot`. This also allows these functions to handle values

that need unit-conversion applied.

The default ``linecolor`` kwarg for :func:`hexbin` is now ``'face'``, and

supplying ``'none'`` now prevents lines from being drawn around the hexagons.

figure.legend() can be called without arguments

Calling :func:`figure.legend` can now be done with no arguments. In this case a

within the figure.

Correct a bug that prevented detection of AVconv for matplotlib.animation.

When using :func:`set_xlim` and :func:`set_ylim`, passing non-finite values now

results in a ValueError. The previous behavior resulted in the limits being

erroneously reset to `(-0.001, 0.001)`.

Metadata savefig kwarg

:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.savefig` now accepts `metadata` as a keyword argument.

It can be used to store key/value pairs in the image metadata.

``LogFormatterMathtext`` now includes the option to specify a minimum value

exponent to format as a scalar (ie. 0.001 instead of 10^-3).

``HandlerTuple`` class now accepts two parameters: ``ndivide`` divides the

legend area in the specified number of sections; ``pad`` changes the padding

between the legend keys.

:target: ../../gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/legend_demo.html

should consider using the ``markevery`` option to ``plot``.

The new formatter has some nice features like being able to convert from

arbitrary data scales to percents, a customizable percent symbol and

either automatic or manual control over the decimal points.

New quiverkey angle kwarg

Plotting a :func:`quiverkey` now admits the ``angle`` kwarg,

which sets the angle at which to draw the key arrow.

`Collection` (and thus `scatter` -- both 2D and 3D) no longer implicitly

flattens its offsets. As a consequence, `scatter`'s x and y arguments can no

longer be 2+-dimensional arrays.

`sys.stdout` to be specified. It works exactly like the `file` argument

Bulk setting of tick label rotation is now possible via :func:`set_tick_params` using the `rotation` keyword.

A new ``shade`` parameter has been added the 3D bar plotting method.

The default behavior remains to shade the bars, but now users

have the option of setting ``shade`` to ``False``.

A ``which`` parameter now exists for the method :func:`autofmt_xdate`. This

allows a user to format ``major``, ``minor`` or ``both`` tick labels

selectively. If ``which`` is ``None`` (default) then the method will rotate

``major`` tick labels.

A ``fig`` parameter now exists for the method :func:`subplot2grid`. This allows

a user to specify the figure where the subplots will be created. If ``fig``

is ``None`` (default) then the method will use the current figure retrieved by

:func:`gcf`.

The ``interpolate`` parameter now exists for the method :func:`fill_betweenx`.

This allows a user to interpolate the data and fill the areas in the crossover

points, similarly to :func:`fill_between`.

string is " ", which preserves the former behavior. Besides, the separator is

now present between the value and its unit even in the absence of SI prefix.
