 Can you get us a gdb backtrace?
Type "gdb python" at the prompt, then at the gdb prompt, type "r 
/usr/bin/ipython -pylab". After it segfaults, type "bt" to get a 
backtrace, and send the output to this list.

Hi
I just upgraded to opensuse 11.3.
And I get now:
ipython -pylab:
matplotlib version 1.0.0
verbose.level helpful
platform is linux2
*Segmentation fault*
Any clue?
I am using IPython 0.10, Python 2.6.5

I'd like to make something in between a box plot [1] and a histogram. Each histogram would be represented by a single, tall, rectangular patch (like the box in a box plot), and the patch would be subdivided by the bin edges of the histogram. The face color of each sub-patch would replace the bar height in the histogram.
If any of that actually made sense: 
* Does this type of plot have a name?
* Is there an easy way to do this in Matplotlib?
* If there isn't an easy way, what would be a good starting point? Initial ideas: 1) Use pcolor or imshow and embed this axes in a larger axes, 2) represent the sub-patches as a PolyCollection.
Thoughts?
