Try the axes([left, bottom, width height]) command to manually place your 
axes.

I am having a problem saving figures with any of the Agg backends.
Below is a sample of code and the resulting output. I receive the same
type of errors with any of the Agg backends ie WxAgg, TkAgg ect. With
SVG, or GD it does save. I am running python 2.3 under windows XP
matplotlib .83.2. Can you provide some guidance as to what I may have
configured wrong with the Agg backends?
Sample code run with -dAgg
 
 
 
 #!/usr/bin/env python 
 from pylab import * 
 
 plot(arange(10), color='#006400') 
 xlabel('this is a xlabel\n(with newlines!)') 
 ylabel('this is vertical\ntest', multialignment='center') 
 #ylabel('this is another!') 
 text(2, 7,'this is\nyet another test', 
 rotation=45, 
 horizontalalignment = 'center', 
 verticalalignment = 'top', 
 multialignment = 'center') 
 savefig('c:\multiline.jpg')

Hi everyone,
When you draw a picture with subplots, you can control the vertical and 
horizontal spaces between thanks to the "configure subplots" button in 
the toolbar.
I'm sure there is a way to set the values of wspace and hspace manually 
but could'nt find it. That does not seems to be reported (yet) in the 
documentation.
any clue ?

Hi,
I really like the possibility to create labels with tex support. 
Unfortunately, using this feature, svg export seems to be no longer 
available. This is sad, because creating svg's was one of my major reasons 
using matplotlib. Using latex most of the time, it was possible to create 
high quality vector based images with the possibility to change them later 
(e.g. with inkscape). I use this feature mostly for language changings of 
labels or titles.
The error message:

But will that help? It will still fall over to exponential notation
at 1e4. Perhaps a custom formatter will work better for you, eg
examples/custom_ticker1.py.

Hi,
I noticed that the default scalar formatter turns on scientific notation once
the numbers are over 10000. I was wondering if there is a way to turn off this
option 
or at least change the settings to give matplotlib a different cut-off point for
switching into scientific notation. 
I would appreciate some help with this,
Thanks,
Maria

Sorry, I answered this one but did not reply to all, so it didn't go to 
the list. The equivalent matplotlib functions are xlim and ylim.

Hi Michael,
I'd the same kind of error installing pygtk on my Mandriva 10.2 (I'm a 
happy new linux user :-) )
The error occured checking Glib, and I had to specify the path of the 
.pc file manually by doing (I'm using bash):
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
where the file pygtk.pc was (it previously looked in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/)...
That solved the problem, I don't know if it can help you there, looks 
like you tried already, but it seemed to me it is a very similar problem...

It is easy to get the wrong debian package. Did you do this:
 Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
 deb http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian packages/
 deb-src http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian sources/
 And then run:

Note, matplotlib uses GTKAgg as the default backend, but I if you are
having trouble, I suggest trying the TkAgg, QtAgg or WXAgg backends,
which usew Tkinter, pyqt, and wxpython. I suspect all of these are
available in your debian distribution. See
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc for more information -- this is
where you choose your backend. To make matters a little confusing,
between matplotlib 0.82 and 0.83 we changed the default location for
the rc file. 
 0.82: ~/.matplotlibrc
 0.83: ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
Make sure you name it accordingly.

I wonder if you also need all the -dev packages, eg gtk2-dev and so
forth.
Before you go and install a bunch of gtk stuff from src, you may want
to pursue getting the debian stuff working for you. I know from
experience that it is easy to get a system out of whack if you have
some gtk stuff in /usr, more recent versions in /usr/local, and if you
are not very careful you are soon in a world of pain and considering a
clean reinstall. Especially if you are not an experienced linux user,
as you indicated below.
 Michael> Help, I need to get away from windows! 
I use ubuntu linux -- if you are just getting started with linux and
haven't fully committed to a distribution I highly recommend it. It's
an easy install, has good hardware support, a very modern desktop, and
so on. It also has a good live/boot CD so you can test it out without
committing to it.
I maintain my own ubuntu debian packages for matplotlib and other
scientific computing packages for use on my own computers -- most of
the stuff I do typically requires having CVS versions of everything so
using the standard debs is not an option for me. If you end up going
with ubuntu, let me know and I'll send you the repository information.

Hi Nils,
After thinking about this and reading through the matplotlib src code,
I have been able to infer that you
 * are working with a *Agg backend
 * have set the rc param usetex=True in your rc file or called
 rc('text', usetex=True) before the indicated commands
 * you have previously called code (perhaps in figure(1) or figure(2)
 not shown) with the x and y axes labels reversed. 
The reason for the bug is that backend agg caches the dvipng
information, and the key to this dictionary cache is not using the
angle (it should). The following code reproduces the bug in *Agg
 rc('text', usetex=True)
 plot(rand(10), rand(10), 'b.')
 xlabel(r'Real part $\nu_r$')
 ylabel(r'Imaginary $\nu_i$')
 ylabel(r'Real part $\nu_r$')
 xlabel(r'Imaginary $\nu_i$')
 
The fix: in matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py on or around line 268,
replace
 key = s, size, dpi, rgb
 im = self.texd.get(key)
with 
 key = s, size, dpi, rgb, angle
 im = self.texd.get(key)
And next time, provide enough information that someone with less than
superhuman inferential powers can reproduce the bug. A complete
example which reproduces it with any non-standard rc settings and the
output of your script run with --verbose-helpful would be much
obliged.

Hello all,
I'm attempting to overlay a vector field over an image. I have a vector
for every pixel. I'd like to be able to be able to only plot a subset of
those vectors. For example, only plot every fifth vector in its place.
I've attached code that plots every vector. Any suggestions on how to
modify it to plot every Nth vector? 
Thanks!!

I can't reproduce this behavior, but I have found that TeX strings are 
sometimes not rendered correctly unless I specify a fontsize parameter: 
 xlabel(r'Real part $\nu_r$', fontsize=16) for example.

figure(3)

I have been experimenting a little using Blit() in the PaintDC to save 
the rulers
background to a MemoryDC before drawing them and then restoring this
buffer again via the "inverse" Blit(). It works pretty well, don't have the
odd-xor-sequence problem and the lines' colours are not altered by xoring
with the colours below.
Once I decide how to implement my widget (which include the rulers
and some map-coordination between two function plots) I will send you
my code as an example. Perhaps it could be useful for someone.
Regards,
Carlos

I think everything should work okay, so long as you setup matplotlib to=20=
use WXAgg as the backend before pylab is imported:
	import matplotlib
	matplotlib.use('WXAgg')

However, pylab will manage its figure windows separately from the=20

tighter integration (e.g. opening new figures in tabs of a window you=20
control), you'll need to write your own subclass of FigureManagerWx and=20=
make the WXAgg backend use it. I'm not quite clear as to how you go=20
about doing so, but I'll be happy to help if I can.
Another caveat is that there is no way to make the figure frames=20
children of another frame (e.g. the main window of your application). =20=
wxPython applications usually hang around until all of the parentless=20
frames have been closed, so you could end up with an application that=20
stays open until all of the figure frames have been closed. To prevent=20=
this, you'll need configure your wxApp instance to exit when the top=20
window is closed:
	class MyApp(wx.PySimpleApp):

Perhaps a wiki entry on using mpl with wx would be helpful.

Since you're using wxPython, you've given my a plumb opportunity to 
repeat what is in danger of becoming my litany:
	You should check out Matt Newville's MPlot package and my wxmpl 
module, both of which exist to 	simply embedding matplotlib in wxPython 
applications. Both of them provide user interaction 	bells and

Each of the libraries takes a different approach to plotting and has 
different benefits and drawbacks, so I encourage you to evaluate each 
of them and select the one that best meets your needs. Even if neither 
of them fit the bill, you'll hopefully be able to learn something from 
looking through the source.

I suspect that this is exactly what you need to do to solve the 
problem. My approach in wxmpl has been to stop drawing the crosshairs 
when the mouse is outside of the plot panel, which has allowed me to 
sidestep this particular problem.

While I appreciate your concerns about breaking encapsulation, I don't 
think you'll have any problems overriding _OnPaint() to draw your 
crosshairs after the plot has been repainted. As I indicated earlier, 
there are ways to design around needing to do so, but they entail not 
drawing crosshairs when the mouse is not in the window.
