ImportError: cannot import name 'BrokenBarHCollection' from 'matplotlib.collections'

[Fougere87]

Hi,

I tried to use coolbox but when importing the API, it throws this error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'BrokenBarHCollection' from 'matplotlib.collections'

Indeed BrokenBarHCollection is deprecated from matplotlib 3.7.0 (https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/prev_api_changes/api_changes_3.7.0.html#brokenbarhcollection-is-deprecated)

A way to avoid this without downgrading MPL ?

All the best and thank you for your work !

I recently had this issue. Did you install with conda install -c bioconda coolbox?

I've gotten a working installation by doing the following.

1. I installed the requirements in the environment.yml and requirements.txt to a clean conda env.
2. I cloned the github repo git clone https://github.com/GangCaoLab/CoolBox.git
3. installed using pip install -e . from within the cloned directory.

Following the instructions for installing from the docs on how to install from source code may also work.
