matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 14)

Hi,
I got the following error when clearing and plotting on the same
figure for many times. I found the following minimum code to reproduce
this error. I am using matplotlib-0.91.1 and wxpython2.8 on windows
xp. In the matplotlibrc file, I changed the backend to WXAgg and
interactive to True.
import pylab
def test(n):
 for i in range(n):
 f=pylab.figure(1)
 f.clf()
 a=f.add_axes([0.2, 0.2, 0.6, 0.6])
 a.plot([1,2,3,4,5], 'ro')
The error only happens for a large n. For example, test(10) works
fine, but test(50) will cause the error. Also runing test(10) for a
few times will also cause the error.
Could anyone give me some help?
Thanks.
The following is the error message:

Hi All,
I'm running into the following error when I try to run any of the matplotlib
examples:
$ python anim.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "anim.py", line 19, in <module>
 import pylab as p
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module>

 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\numerix\__init__.py", line
20, in <module>
 from matplotlib import rcParams, verbose
ImportError: cannot import name rcParams
I'm using the latest versions of matplotlib and numpy, ActivePython 2.5 (all
for Windows XP). Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Brian.

The following run well . But I just want to make the image, with the x and y
as axis and z as the image value ,show on the figure. In the pylab , we can
just give a command "imshow" ,But here , I fail to do it , I have try
ax.imshow() again and again ,but fail. Can sb give me some advice . Thank
you .

Hi. I installed matplotlib and get the following when I import pylab:

Any ideas? I searched and found one hit, but no solution...

I don't know if this was peculiar to my set-up but others might find 
this useful.
I recently installed Matplotlib 0.90.1 from source on a G4 Powerbook 
and a dual G5 PowerMac, both running OSX 10.5.1. Installation 
proceeded smoothly and once the by now well documented python path 
issue had been fixed, Matplotlib imported and ran fine with the Agg 
back-end.
However, attempting to use TkAgg led to allocation error somewhere 
deep in Tcl. I finally traced this to the fact that I had a legacy 
version of the Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks. These 
were being used in preference to the Leopard installed frameworks in 
/System//Library/Frameworks. Removing the /Library/Frameworks solved 
these problems.
