Problem whit from kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivyagg import FigureCanvasKivyAgg on windows

[juanjpnv]

When I import the garden.matplotlib package i recive a error mensage:
ImportError: cannot import name 'weight_as_number' from 'matplotlib.font_manager'

I used the Python in the Command Prompt to import step-by-step. I find a error in the garden.matplotlib import line.

System: Windows 10, Python 3.7.0, Kivy 1.10.1

>>> import matplotlib
Backend TkAgg is interactive backend. Turning interactive mode on.

>>> matplotlib.use('module://kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivy')

>>>from kivy.garden.matplotlib.backend_kivyagg import FigureCanvasKivyAgg

Hi, I had the same issue. This is due to incompatibility with matplotlib 3.0.0+ .

I've created a fork that fixes the issue and requested a pull.

In the meantime you can either get the new source here: https://github.com/xstreck1/garden.matplotlib or downgrade matplotlib to 2.2.2 .

Fixed by #62.

I downgrade matplotlib to 2.2.2 and it's solved.
Thanks
