When I do the "python setup.py build" on cygwin I get the following =
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 164, in ?
 build_transforms(ext_modules, packages, NUMERIX)
 File "/usr/libpython2.4/site-packages/matplotlib-0.84/setupext.py", =

line 100,
in add_base_flage
 incdirs =3D [os.path.join(p, 'include') for p in basedir[sys, =
platform]
KeyError: 'cygwin'
How do I fix this? I installed numarray and I changed the NUMERIX value =
in the matplotlibrc file from Numeric to numarray but I still have the =
same problem.

I am trying to build matplotlib 0.84 on my Linux box: python 2.2, 
Redhat 3.2.3-53, gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-53)
The error I got is listed below - I am at a loss as to what is up. I 
have built 0.84 with no problem on my OS X machine.
The point in the code indicated by the error is just after a #if / else 
checking whether Numeric of Numarray is present. I have only Numeric on 
this machine and the error occurs just after the #else indicating 
Numeric is present.
My OS X box has numarray, so I guess this branch of code is not hit 
when I compile there.
I did comment out the py-modules line as suggested in the setup.py 
since I am using python 2.2.
Thanks for any help.

It is packaged *also* for python2.4:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python2.4-matplotlib

this is in my TODO, I'm testing pydoc for now and there are good possibility to
re-include python-matplotlib-doc

Hi,
I'm appy to learn there is a matplotlib package in sid :)
I have 2 questions (but I'm not sure i'm asking the good person. Are you 
the mainteaner?) :
1) Could you please also package it for python2.4 ?
2) What about the documentation? I know there are problems with pydoc 
(for instance, pyoc need X wich cause problems on the build dd). Maybe 
epydoc could do the job.

Hi all,
matplotlib is now on Debian Unstable:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python-matplotlib
should work also with Debian Sarge adding this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
thanks to Marco Presi for upload :)

I'm not sure that an strace will help too much. I probably need the segfault 
stacktrace, which you can get by attaching GDB to the Python process. Please 
let me know if I shoudl send you instructions.
Also, please check that your system configuration is comparable to my Sid 
environment, which is:
 Python: 2.3.5
 IPython: 0.6.15
 wxPython: 2.6.1.2pre
 matplotlib: 0.85cvs
Finally, please double-triple-extra check that your wxPython header files 
correspond exactly to the version of wxPython you are using. If they don't, 
then all bets are off.

Are you using John's CVS packages or the stable-version packages at 
anakonda.net? It sounds like this might just be a matter of tweaking 
`/etc/apt/sources.list' appropriately, assuming we can figure out what the 
problem is.

You will also need to install the wxWidgets "-dev" package, since that's where 
the "wx-config" program lives.
Ken

You might get all the development packages you will ever need in one
step if you install gnome-devel - but it is a huge package with a lot
of dependencies that could take a while to install. But it might
keep you from hunting for individual packages needed by mpl backends.

You will also need the packages tk8.4 and tk8.4-dev for the Tk backend
(your version numbers might be slightly less if you are on Hoary).

Do you have the package "python-gtk2-dev" installed? You will need
this for the pygtk headers. Wx is a pain at the moment, but if you
are happy with gtk you should have no problems on ubuntu.

I know this can be frustrating, but hang in there.
Your initial error about pygtk.h not being found is a dependency
error. You need some other packages and I am not sure what they all
are. They are generally the development packages. For this one,
search in the Synaptics package manager for pygtk and find
python-gtk2-dev (and probably python-gnome2-dev). You may run into a
few more of these. Whenever you see a *.h: No such file error, you
have a dev package missing.
The only way around the wx-config error is to download the wxPython
source tarball and find wxPython.h. Then copy it to
/usr/include/wx/wxPython/wxPython.h. I will attach mine, but this
may be a bad idea. You can download from their webpage here:
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#sources
(grab the first one in the list that doesn't say RPM - it is the tar.gz fil=
e).
So, copying wxPython.h from the tarball or the attached file should
solve the wx-config error (you may need the other *.h files in the
same folder of the tarball). Working through the dev packages should
solve the errors with the other backends. I have TkAgg, GTKAgg,
WXAgg, and PS working on mine (there are probably others, but those I
have tested).
Let me know if you need more info.

Apparently the autodetection fails. Then I disabled all backends (except
for Agg, WX, WXAgg, which I want to use) and next time I tried setup.py
build:
WXAgg's accelerator requires `wx-config'.
The `wx-config' executable could not be located in any directory of the
PATH
environment variable. If it is in some other location or has some other
name,
set the WX_CONFIG environment variable to the full path of the
executable.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? ;-)
Now, I tried to read on and in the end I am - frankly - completely
confused. Since I can't compile (I tried some other tweaks) ... is
somebody able to compile installation instructions? It appears that the
part on matplotlib's web page isn't up to date (how to build, the issue
with the debian's package, possibly other problems yet not seen by me?).
I would be willing to test everything shown to me and summarize this.
(Alas, I don't know how to build packages myself yet and I fear I won't
have the time to do anything quickly.)
Cheers,
Christian

Following Darren's advice, I downloaded and built from source gs-gpl
8.15 (not yet available in the ubuntu package manager) and this
problem went away.
Thanks Darren.

Darren,
Thanks for your willingness to help. A small script is attached and
the figure it produces is attached as well. When I view the eps with
gv and set it to show the bounding box, it clips tightly around the
figure without the axis labels or tick marks. I ran the figure
through epstopdf and it uses the same bounding box produces the same
figure minus axis and tick mark labels.
I don't think I have anything funny in my matplotlibrc file, but it is
attached just in case. (It includes a recent patch I made to make the
legend customizable from the RC file, so you may need to comment that
out if you actually try to use my RC file.)
Let me know if you want me to try anything else. 8.14 is the latest
version released through the ubuntu package manager.

Hey Ken,
Sorry to make more work for you. Yes, turning off the accelerator
gets rid of the seg fault:
In [7]: %hist
1: import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg
2: import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg
3: matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg._use_accelerator(False)
4: matplotlib.__version__
5: figure(1)
6: show()
>>>after this show command an empty plot pops up with problem. Then
reactivating the accelerator leads to the seg fault:
In [8]: matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg._use_accelerator(True)
In [9]: pylab.close('all')
In [10]: figure(1)
Segmentation fault
Let me know what to try next. Another strace?

I recently installed matplotlib on ubuntu Breezy and it went fairly
well. I was having some problems that I thought were from John's
package not working on Breezy but turned out to be something else. I
ended up installing from source. It is fairly straight forward to
download the tarball and do a sudo python setup.py install. I ran
into some problems with needing the wxPython.h header file for the
WXAgg backend. If you look for a thread I started with the subject
"WXAgg's accelerator requires `wx-config'." you should find that Ken
and Arnd got me through it. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere.

Hi all, Hi John,
I remembered that there was a recent post on installing matplotlib on
Ubuntu.
I tried apt-get update without an error message, but running apt-get
install python-matplotlib-jdh gives me the following output.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package python-matplotlib-jdh is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package python-matplotlib-jdh has no installation candidate
Apparently something changed since your post and now John. Is the
package still available? What else would be a convenient way to install?
Well, I fear my question will turn out to be stupid, but I really have
no idea where to look for my mistake anymore.
TIA
Christian

Hi all,
Is it possible to use \mathds{R} in pylab ?
In LaTeX this becomes available through
\usepackage{dsfont}

Hi,
I've recently started using pylab, and its not clear to me how to do a 2d 
animation.
If I have a 3d numeric array (eg 
arr=RandomArray.randint(0,127,(100,256,256)))
how can I display arr[0], then arr[1], then...
The way I've tried seems to slow down as I progress, suggesting that its 
drawing all previous arrays before drawing the current one.
Thanks...

It is indeed a bug. Imho we should fix it in pylab.py, by changing the
function twinx to read:
def twinx(ax=3DNone):
 """
 Make a second axes overlay ax (or the current axes if ax is None)
 sharing the xaxis. The ticks for ax2 will be placed on the right,
 and the ax2 instance is returned. See examples/two_scales.py
 """
 if ax is None:
 ax=3Dgca()
 ax2 =3D gcf().add_axes(ax.get_position(), sharex=3Dax, frameon=3DFals=
e)
 ax2.yaxis.tick_right()
 ax2.yaxis.set_label_position('right')
 ax.yaxis.tick_left()
 draw_if_interactive()
 return ax2
The attached one-line patch does the trick.
Cheers, Baptiste

I think the problem here has to do with Windows line breaks on non
Windows computers...
Was the attached file just as "hairy"...?
JDH> I think it would be much easier for us to deal with this=20
JDH> if you submit it as a proper patch against CVS and upload=20
JDH> it to the sf site. Could I trouble you to do that?
Yes, but first I would like to add a some python code to allow for a
"LaTeX preamble" input file for stuff like:
\DeclareMathAlphabet\mathscr{T1}{futs}{m}{it}
For custom mathscript or for custom macro definitions used within mpl
text..
User would also be able to load additional packages, like:
\usepackage[afrikaans,english]{babel} % Or other languages
\usepackage[iso,english]{isodate} % For ISO style date format in
conjunction with the babel package
\usepackage{numprint} % For 123 456,789 number format
instead of 123,456.789
There would then be two optional LaTeX input files:
- a "LaTeX preamble" input file and/or
- a "low level font command" input file
(it would be difficult to combine them into one...)
Selectable with:
rcParams[latex.preamble.filename'] =3D 'MySimmulation.prbl
rcParams[latex.lowlevelfontcommand.filename] =3D 'MyPresentation.llfc'
Any suggestions for better rcParams names... (and extension... or is it
necessary, it could actually be anything... but a standard would be...
"nice")
Finally, with:
\usepackage{helvet}
in the "LaTeX preamble" input file,=20
rcParams['font.latex.package'] would become unnecessary... but IMHO
should be retained...

I don't think you need both. I think you could just do

 rcParams['font.latex.filename'] = None

I worry that this is starting to get hairy -- perhaps we should look
into separating the latex from the code more cleanly.
