another issue (but I'm not sure whether it is matplotlib 3.5.1 specific): set dyn.configuration.set_pub_style(), tutorial can not plot figures. please check this:https://github.com/aristoteleo/dynamo-release/issues/308

I'm not sure whether this is the compatibility issue of matplotlib, but I report it here. Whatever the function is, save_show_or_return='both' or save_show_or_return='all' cannot save the plot. It only shows the plot.

Hello @hyjforesight, thanks a lot for summarizing the problems! For the problem about tight_layout(), it is solved by matplotlib in version 3.5.3 and please try to upgrade it. About animation, the problem would be fixed in next release very soon. For the save_show_or_return arg, our plot functions only accept 'save', 'show', and 'return' as values but not 'all' or 'both'. For set_pub_style(), it seems to be a more generic problem and we are still working on it. For now please just keep using the solution you mentioned (by using dyn.configuration.set_figure_params('dynamo', background='white') instead). If you have any other new problems, please just let us know!

hello @elfofmaxwell, thanks for the response. I think the documents for dynamo.pl.scatters() is wrong. It mentions If “both”, it will save and plot the figure at the same time. If “all”, the figure will be saved, displayed and the associated axis and other object will be return (https://dynamo-release.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/dynamo.pl.scatters.html). Is it able to make a parameter that can save and show at the same time? Thanks! Best, YJ

Hello @dummyindex , thank you so much for your information! We have checked our goal and confirmed that for dynamo.pl.scatters() there are some bugs preventing it from using both or all as values. Currently only a part of APIs of pl module has incomplete support for both and all values and we plan to update all other APIs in next release very soon.
