We used to see something like this on OSX with the WX backend. What
version of Tk are you using? Could this be a byte order or byte size
problem?
The code that loads the buttons is in
matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg
 def _Button(self, text, file, command):
 file = os.path.join(rcParams['datapath'], file)
 im = Tk.PhotoImage(master=self, file=file)
 b = Tk.Button(
 master=self, text=text, padx=2, pady=2, image=im, command=command)
 b._ntimage = im
 b.pack(side=Tk.LEFT)
 return b
you may want to read up on the tk PhotoImage and Button classes and
see if there is some option that makes this work. I don't have access
to the opteron platform to test on. The tk backend uses the ppm files
for the icons (eg home.ppm). Do any of the other icon image formats
that ship with matplotlib (xpm, png, svg) work for you? You can test
this by editing the _init_toolbar code in backend_tkagg.py
 self.bHome = self._Button( text="Home", file="home.ppm",
 command=self.home)
and trying different extensions.
Thanks,
JDH

Have you read the wiki? http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex
An intermediate dvi file is missing, probably because the latex executable is 
not on your path.

Hi group,
I wanted to try to usetex for my matplotlib plots, and thought that I
had everything neccessary installed, but it doesn`t work. Perhaps
someone in the group have some idea what is wrong here? Im using
MikTex on xp and have the dvipng-miktex pakage installed. thx

Exactly this was the problem. I was logged in from machine A on machine 
B as user (ssh -X B) and wanted to install on B. So what I did on B was:
(as user):
user@B:<mpl_path>$ python setup.py build # this works
(via sudo):
user@B:<mpl_path>$ sudo python setup.py install
python setup.py install installing data to
lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
pygtk present but import failed
Using default library and include directories for Tcl and Tk because a 
Tk window failed to open. You may need to define DISPLAY for Tk to work 
so that setup can determine where your libraries are located.
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
(becoming su):
user@B:<mpl_path>$ su
user@B:<mpl_path># python setup.py install
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
The application 'setup.py' lost its connection to the display 
localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

Right, I can't open an X app on B via sudo or beeing su. Unfortunalelly 
I don't understand enough of the X-permission/xhost stuff to get this 
right :)
 > Perhaps some UNIX guru can give the proper incantation.
He did. Finally I logged in as root (ssh -X root@B) and then everthing
went fine.
================================================================================================
Additionally, if you want to install directly on A or B (not beeing 
logged in via ssh) just open a root terminal and install as usual. sudo 
and su won't do it.

Ray,
You tripped over a bug in cm.py: when I added masked array support, I 
put the "x = ma.asarray(x)" too early in the to_rgba() method of 
ScalarMappable. It is fixed now in CVS. Thanks for finding the problem.
If you want to try the fix in your version, in place of your workaround, 
here is the revised method:
 def to_rgba(self, x, alpha=1.0):
 # assume normalized rgb, rgba
 if len(x.shape)>2: return x
 x = ma.asarray(x)
 x = self.norm(x)
 x = self.cmap(x, alpha)
 return x

What mpl version are you using, and have you tried setting 
verbose=debug-annoying in your rc settings to see if any of the usetex 
external dependencies are complaining about anything?

There is no svg support for the usetex option.

Greetings,
I searched the mail archive for information on this question, and
didn't find anything. Hopefully this hasn't been addressed elsewhere.
I just spent a few hours tracking down a huge performance hit in
imshow(). I'm loading some image data via numarray's fromfile(),
stacking three imgaes to make an RGB, and showing it with imshow.
My image loading code looks like this:
def read_dib(filename):
 f =3D open(filename, "rb")
 fromfile(f, "UInt8", shape=3D(52, 1))
 im =3D fromfile(f, "UInt16", shape=3D(512, 512))
 if sys.byteorder =3D=3D "big":
=09im.byteswap()
 return im.astype('Float') / (2**12 - 1)
I load three images, and put them into a NxMx3 float numarray, and
pass that to imshow.
The performance drop is at this line in image.py:
 im =3D _image.fromarray(x, 0)
in AxesImage.make_image()
I eventually tracked it down to x's type being <class
'numarray.ma.MA.MaskedArray'>, which gets passed off to numarray's
NA_InputArray function, which chokes and calls setArrayFromSequence
(i.e., it's not using the fact that the input data is a numarray, and
is instead iterating over each element). This is taking around 30
seconds to convert a 512x512x3 image on a new Intel iMac.
I sped it up significantly by using this line instead:
 im =3D _image.fromarray(numerix.ma.filled(x,0), 0)
Not that that's a good idea (but it works for me for now).
There is no invalid data in my image. I'm not sure why it's ever
being turned into a masked array.
I'm using matplotlib 0.86.2 and numarray-1.5.1, on OS X 10.3.5 on an Intel =
iMac.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray Jones

The latest release of matplotlib was built against numpy 0.9.4.=20
Hopefully we will have a release soon to match up with the latest
numpy.

I've done it, but I'm not sure I remember how at the moment. But try 
something like:
xhost +root
or even:
xhost +
which I think lets anyone have access to the Xserver.

See examples/table_demo.py -- you need to keep a cumulative sum of the
bottom positions, eg
yoff = array([0.0] * len(colLabels)) # the bottom values for stacked bar chart
for row in xrange(rows):
 bar(ind, data[row], width, bottom=yoff, color=colours[row])
 yoff = yoff + data[row]
 cellText.append(['%1.1f' % (x/1000.0) for x in yoff])

hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a few more layers to a
stacked bar graph.
What I have so far is:
 p1 =3D axes.bar(ind, data['n'], width, color=3D'r')
 p2 =3D axes.bar(ind, data['l'], width, color=3D'y', bottom=3Ddata['=
n'])
 p3 =3D axes.bar(ind, data['m'], width, color=3D'b', bottom=3Ddata['=
l'])
 p4 =3D axes.bar(ind, data['h'], width, color=3D'g', bottom=3Ddata['=
m'])
But I don't think this is correct. I only get two layers (red and
green). Does anyone know the proper method?
Thanks,
Jason.

I just updated numpy to the latest version: 0.9.5, from the Windows 
binary installer. I have MPL 0.86.2, also binary installer.
import pylab crashes python
import matplotlib is ok
backing up to numpy 0.9.4 works ok.
does this issue belong to a numpy list?
How exactly does one run a script with --verbose-helpful ? This does 
not seem to be a valid python switch.
Here are the last lines prior to crash of
python -v test.py
where test.py contains one line: import pylab

1) Trying to export an .eps with using usetex = True:
rcParams['text.usetex']=True; plot([1,2,3]); savefig("image.eps")
I get an .eps where the axis numbers (are they called so?) are missing 
(looks like a bounding box problem). Only the axes and what's inside the 
plot box is there.
2) Exporting .svg fails:

Make sure you have a clean install of both packages (rm -rf build
subdir in both and reinstall) and if you still get the segfault post a
minimum script run with --verbose-helpful ; this will give us the exact
version numbers of both the matplotlib and numpy packages.

This morning I install the cvs version of matplotlib and numpy and now I 
have a segfault when numpy is the numerical package define in 
matplotlibrc. It's seems to work fine with numarray.

"Does not work" is not very descriptive :-(
Yes, you should use the polygon transform
You might want to look at the "draw" method of the
matplotlib.patches.Polygon class to see how it gets the data into
pixel coords
 verts = self.get_verts()
 tverts = self._transform.seq_xy_tups(verts)
Thus all you need to do outside the class is 
 trans = pl.get_transform()
 verts = pl.get_verts()
 tverts = trans.seq_xy_tups(verts)
 
Should work...
The documentation for the matplotlib.transforms module is decent, if
you want to take a look

You have to make the individual elements invisible. Something like
for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
 label.set_visible(False)
For more refined control, for each tick there are a host of visibility
properties you can set
 gridOn : a boolean which determines whether to draw the tickline
 tick1On : a boolean which determines whether to draw the 1st tickline
 tick2On : a boolean which determines whether to draw the 2nd tickline
 label1On : a boolean which determines whether to draw tick label
 label2On : a boolean which determines whether to draw tick label
for tick in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks():
 tick.tick2On = False
and likewise for the minor ticks

As the code above illustrates, matplotlib is an OO library. There is
no requirement to use it through the procedural pylab interface. Most
of my personal use, except for quick scripts and interactive sessions,
is OO.
See this FAQ
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#OO
and this tutorial
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/leftwich_tut.txt
A nice hybrid approach is to use a minimum of pylab for figure
management only, and do everything else through OO
 import matplotlib.numerix as nx
 from pylab import figure, close, show # all you need
 
 x = nx.arange(0, 2.0, 0.01)
 y = nx.sin(2*nx.pi*x)
 fig1 = figure(1)
 fig2 = figure(2)
 
 ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(211)
 ax1.plot(x,y)
 ax1.set_xlabel('time (s)')
 ax1.set_ylabel('volts')
 ax1.set_title('a sinusoid')
 ax1.grid(True)
 
 # and more with fig2, etc....
 show()
 
Most of the action is in the Axes instance, and too a lesser extent
the Figure and Axis instances, so see the class documentation for the
figure, axes, and axis methods
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/classdocs.html
Hope this helps,
JDH

This is an annoyance that is caused by the fact that the GTK install
needs an X11 connection, and in some setups when you install as root
the root user does not have access to your display. I usually install
as suso: do you have sudo setup? Basically, you need to be able to
make sure you can launch an X11 app (eg xterm) in the environment that
you are running matplotlib install.
Perhaps some UNIX guru can give the proper incantation. In addition
to setting the DISPLAY as root, you may need to check your xhost
settings.

This is a known performance bottleneck. There are two reasons it is
slow. Every tick label is handled as an independent object, when they
in most cases share most of their properties (font size, orientation)
and so could be better handled as a TextCollection, which does not
exist yet. The second reason is that the text layout engine is doing
layout for newline separated strings with an arbitrary rotation for
every tick label, which is almost never used. So some special case
optimizations to handle the no rotation, no newline text instances
(basically just bypass the layout machinery) would help a lot here.
Are you using matplotlib mathtext also, by chance? This slows things
down a bit too, though is better in recent versions.
JDH

I've had various versions of matplotlib from CVS installed on an 
Opteron (Red Hat LInux) here for a few weeks now. I had to modify 
setupext.py to look for various libraries in ../lib64 instead of /lib 
but matplotlib works very nicely most of the time, and I have started 
using it for real work.
One cosmetic problem: the buttons at the bottom of the plot window 
have their graphics messed up. They just look like red crosses. The 
floating xml works, so I know what the buttons do, and it doesn't 
inconvenience me --- but it looks bad.
Presumably some library is either out of date, incomplete, or not 
linked correctly. I am using the default TkAgg backend. Any thoughts 
on what I should look for would be appreciated.
BTW the matplotlib users_guide_0.83.2.pdf seems to be unreadable from 
my Mac. It appears blank in (Tiger) Safari, and preview cannot open 
the file: it gives 'File error'.
Regards, George Nurser.

Hi thanks for the help. I have a related problem. i had been using py2exe with matplotlib and it was working well. upgraded to 0.86 and now it doesn't work. I know this is because the installation directory is different now (no longer the share folder). So I thought I fixed it correctly but I get an error that indicates py2exe "can't find lib/site-packages/matplotlib/backends or it is not a regular file". I am assuming that it doesn't like 'backends' because it is a folder and not a file. I changed my setup code to this:
 
 data_files=[
 ("matplotlibdata",
 glob.glob(os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, 'lib', 'site-packages','matplotlib', "*")))]
 
 setup(
 options = options,
 # The lib directory contains everything except the executables and the python dll.
 windows = [app],
 data_files = data_files,
 # use out build_installer class as extended py2exe build command
 cmdclass = {"py2exe": build_installer},
 )
 
 how might I change this to get it working properly? thanks!!

This tutorial was a start. I want to do a similar thing, but use
rectangle objects for the image map, whose coordinates are derived
from matplotlib polygon objects. I was wondering if anyone knew how
to do this, or could point me to some documentation.
Basically I have a simple figure:
>
from pylab import *
clf()
fig =3D figure(1,(4,4))
ax =3D axis()
pl =3D plot(range(0,10),range(0,10),'b-')
box =3D axvspan(3,5,fc=3D'm',alpha=3D0.5)
#get vertices [(ul.x,ul.y),(lr.x,lr.y)]
#ul =3D upper left
#lr =3D lower right
#have to multiply ul.y by the upper ylim since for axvspan, ul.y=3D1
spans the range
b_verts =3D box.get_verts()
verts =3D [(b_verts[1][0],b_verts[1][1]*ax.get_ylim()[1]),(b_verts[3][0],b_=
verts[3][1])]
>
my question is what transform do I use to convert verts to pixel coordinate=
s?
ax.get_transform() does not work. Should I use pl.get_transform?
Thanks for your help!

All,
I am trying to render a set of data/date points with plot_date. How can I
get matplotlib to only plot the y axis of this graph? I can turn both off
with axis("off"), but I can't seem to find more detailed instructions
anywhere.
Also, although this is unimportant, it grates somewhat to use matplotlib
with the procedural (matlab esque) instructions within my OO python code.
Are there any tutorials or other docs on plotting graphs through the more
pythonic libraries?
Many thanks,
Stephen English
