matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 15)

I am having problems installing on Leopard.
It is not clear what your are renaming and to what.
I download a zip file
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg.zip
This extracts to a directory named
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg
Do I rename this directory and remove -fat from the name so it is
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg
I tried this but it didn't work

May I asked what was installed incorrectly and how you fixed it? I'm seeing
exactly the same error.

What Charlie is saying is my solution will result in a slower mpl than
his, since my solution uses a lower optimization level for all files,
and he uses the lower level only on the problematic files. But the
make solution has the advantage of being a one step automatic build,
and I'm not looking for great performance on my laptop usually...
JDH

I'm sure that would work, but John's make target 'build_osx105' is
much easier, particularly for end users.
$ make build_osx105
That's it. Unpythonic in it's appearance, but sets the required
CFLAGS and calls setup.py.

So I'll admit that I renamed that file to -fat manually. The reason I
did this is because it gets named -i386 by default even though it is a
fat build. Does anyone have a good idea of how to fix this?

I just used the default 10.5 compiler. I didn't use -Os for the whole
run though. I would just copy the gcc command on the files where it
failed and replace -O3 with -Os. Kind of lame, I know, but most the
build I did was ran with -O3.

The choice for math fonts is somewhat limited, because so few fonts have 
the necessary symbols and spacing information, even if they are 
reasonably complete Unicode-wise.
You basically have three supported choices, and one experimental choice, 
set with the mathtext.fontset parameter:
 cm: The TeX Computer Modern fonts
 stix: A new math font designed to blend with Times
 stixsans: A sans-serif math font (similar, but not identical to 
either Helvetica or Arial)
 custom: Provide a Unicode font -- this generally doesn't work very well.
As for your second question, it should have worked to set all 
non-mathtext text to Helvetica. Do you have any other customizations in 
your matplotlibrc file?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Andrew,
It looks like you have an old version of numpy somewhere on your python path. 
You need to delete all the old numpy installs/eggs from site-packages, and 
anywhere else on your PYTHONPATH.

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to 0.93.1 (actually it turned out I did not even have 
to remove the 0.90 egg, python imports from 0.91 all by itself. I do not 
completely understand why, but that was a nice surprise...) and now the 
mixing of normal text and mathtext works nicely.
Is it possible to use a different font than the latex-like font for the 
mathtext? It seems to be, as I found some lines relating to this in the 
matplotlibrc (the mathtext settings), but I am not sure how to set them. I 
would like a font which looks more like Arial or Helvetica text, does 
anybody know how to do this?
Also, I tried to set the default font to Helvetica in the matplotlibrc 
file, but this does not affect the text in the plot. Is it enough to set
font.family : sans-serif
font.sans-serif : Helvetica
to always use the Helvetica font, also for the axes? Or how do I set the 
font used for the tick labels?
Any pointers would be much appreciated, and apologies if I should have 
overlooked prior posts or documentation! Thanks!

I had this problem too, on Leopard. Trying to easy_install the egg
named as downloaded from sourceforge results in stuff being downloaded
and failing to build.
Renaming the egg as suggested by Vincent results in an 'easy install'.

An upgrade to 4.2 is not required. On the svn trunk (0.98) there is a
bug in the apple gcc compiler with our agg extension that causes a
compiler error if the optimization level is -O3. You can work around
it by using -Os instead. I build with the default apple compiler and
have a line in the Makefile in the mpl src dir that reads::
 build_osx105:
	 CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch
ppc" python setup.py build
Some of the other suggested tricks like editing the Python Makefile
configs may be handy so you don't have to pass around CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS, but they are in no way required. My build notes are at:
 http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Py4Science/InstallationOSX
but I need to update them with the info in this email. Don't ignore
the pkgconfig stuff, as it is helpful to help find freetype and
libpng. Here is my build output::
 home:~/mpl> rm -rf build
 home:~/mpl> gcc --version
 i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)
home:~/mpl> make build_osx105 >& build.out

The problem appears to be the "-fat" at the end of the file name. The
filename 'matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg' _works_, but
then downloads the tarball and tries to build the source, which
_fails_ with gcc 4.0. Perhaps rename the egg and repost to
sourceforge?

No, I don't think so. I haven't built it in a while, but I think the OP 
chose to install 4.2 for some other reason, and maybe had to patch the 
Makefile because of that.
Charlie, what are you building with?

Is this really the current solution to building matplotlib on OSX,
installing a new compiler and hacking the python Makefile?
I was able to build matplotlib 0.91.2 just fine on OSX, sometime
around March I checked out the truck to fix a bug and discovered I
couldn't build the svn version. Matplotlib is the only package with a
dependency on gcc 4.2, all the other packages I build, numpy, scipy,
ipython, etc... build with gcc 4.0. Why do you have this dependency?
Is there an easier solution?
I'm reluctant to upgrade to gcc 4.2 and loose the ability to build
other packages I need.

Bryan,
Thanks for pointing this out. Mike D. has made a change in the svn 
trunk to restore the automatic closing of polygons made with the 
patches.Polygon constructor, which is used by the fill command.

I just read your question more closely -- that you want to multiply an 
array by an array that describes the polygon. Do you mean the array of 
vertices that describe the polygon or something like a 2D rasterization 
(image) of the polygon?
I perhaps wrongfully assumed you just wanted to do hit-testing on a 
polygon. What I was thinking (and this still may be relevant to your 
problem) was:
====
from matplotlib.path import Path
# Create a unit square
path = Path([[0, 0], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1], [0, 0]])
# Test for some points that are inside and outside of the square
assert path.contains_point([0.5, 0.5])
assert not path.contains_point([1.5, 0.5])
====
If you want to get an image of the polygon, it's probably theoretically 
doable, but won't be straightforward. It will involve working directly 
with the Agg backend, I think. Let me know your use case is, and we can 
step through that. Perhaps there's another way to achieve the same end 
result that won't require as much wrestling.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi
I can't find any deb package of matplotlib in the url that you gave me. The
sources are there but I'm not interested in the sources since I can find
them on the official website of matplotlib.
Is there any problem ?
Thanks for the answer by the way.

Is there a way to get the underlying array that the fill function uses to
graph a polygon?
This is assuming that it uses an array. I would like to be able to multiple
an array by an array that describes the polygon (one if inside the polygon
and zero if outside)

It seems like it does not connect the last point to the first point. This
also happens with the matplotlib.patches Polygon.
from pylab import fill, xlim, ylim, savefig
x1, x2, y1, y2 = -4, 4, -4, 4
fill([x1,x2,x2,x1], [y1,y1,y2,y2], fc='None', ec='r')
xlim(-5,5)
ylim(-5,5)
savefig('edge_test')

I tried posting this to numpy, but my posts never show up. So, I was hoping
someone here might be able to help me.
I have two arrays that are different sizes and i would like to be able
to add them for plotting.
If I have an array a and b,
[[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
 [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]]
[[0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 3 3 3 0]
 [0 3 3 3 0]
 [0 3 3 3 0]
 [0 0 0 0 0]]
but I would like to change b to look like this,
[[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 3 3 3 3 3 0 0]
 [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
 [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]]
so I can get the sum of a and b.
My data will not be regular like these. I have a 400x60 array with
irregular data that I would like as a 400x400 array. Does anybody
know of an easy way to accomplish this?
