2.x: Cairo backends cannot render images · Issue #6562 · matplotlib/matplotlib · GitHub

In testing #6540, I can see that neither Cairo backend is able to render images correctly.

With GTKCairo:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py", line 438, in expose_event

    im.shape[1]*4)
TypeError: expected a writeable buffer object

With GTK3Cairo:

Bisect points to 6595139, the backport of #5718.

Bisect on the original branch points to one of c9cae50, 3b7d1bb, 4a05302, 0aa222a, cf11aea, 0793aa2; perhaps that's narrow enough to figure it out.

Interestingly enough this seems to be a python2 issue only. I can reproduce the error on python 2.7 but not on 3.5

The following reproduces the error without matplotlib

try:
    import cairocffi as cairo
except:
    import cairo
import numpy as np
im = np.random.rand(100,100,4)
cairo.ImageSurface.create_for_data(memoryview(im.flatten()),
                                   cairo.FORMAT_ARGB32,
                                   im.shape[1],
                                   im.shape[0], im.shape[1]*4)

So a in cairocffi this is fundamentally because ctypes.c_char.from_buffer_copy(memoryview(data))
doesn't work. Regardless of the type of data. Numpy array, bytesarray ...

This stackoverflow question is an example of the same issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28984692/ctypes-from-buffer-with-memoryviews-in-python-2-7-and-python-3-4

WIP solution to matplotlib#6562

Fixed by #6602.
