No, you're right, numpy.distutils is getting pulled in through the backdoor. I'm
entering this as a bug in numpy.

 I guess I find it strange that I always get color output when
compiling matplotlib now. I know it is using numpy's distutils
because I have done some printing in the setup.py before. I wonder if
having numpy and family installed with setuptools is doing this. Any
clues?

Neither numpy nor scipy do anything to the main distutils. numpy.distutils
(replacing the old scipy_distutils) extends distutils only if you import it;
nothing happens to distutils if you just import numpy. matplotlib doesn't import
numpy.distutils at all.

erm. I'm not entirely sure. I've somehow broken my "yast" in suse whilst 
trying to install matplotlib and now I cant see what's installed.
[ any help on how to fix a malloc memory corruption in yast greatfully 
accepted ;-) ]
I ran python and tried to import numpy and scipy but that didnt work, so 
I'm assuming I dont have them. (is there a better way to tell? - I'm sorry 
if I sound very ignorant, but I've only been learning python a few weeks).
thanks alot.

Use numpy.linspace:
linspace(start, stop, num=3D50, endpoint=3DTrue, retstep=3DFalse)
 Return evenly spaced numbers.
 Return 'num' evenly spaced samples from 'start' to 'stop'. If
 'endpoint' is True, the last sample is 'stop'. If 'retstep' is
 True then return the step value used.
Cheers,
Alan Isaac

Yes. Floating point is weird.

Use numpy.linspace() for reliable results. I think matplotlib exposes
linspace(), too.

Hi
I've a machine where I used Numeric until now. Does the following 
behaviour also occur with numpy?
In [38]: Numeric.__version__
Out[38]: '23.8'
In [39]: a = arange(0, 0.005, 0.00001); len(a)
Out[39]: 500
In [40]: a = arange(0, 0.005, 0.000001); len(a)
Out[40]: 5001
Shouldn't len(a)%10 == 0 in these cases?
cheers,

Random number generation is the art of producing pure gibberish as 
quickly as possible.

I don't know if it something wanted but it's very useful for me. For 
example sometime to improve the contrast between two values, I plot the 
log of the image but I don't want the value of the colorbar in log but 
linear or another sample (problably not good but I didn't find any other 
way to do it), I want plot the data from yellow to red, I'm using the 
hot colormat to do it but I didn't find any way to do the opposite so I 
began by plotting the data with the normal value, I plot the colorbar 
and I plot another time the opposite of the data, after with gimp I turn 
the colorbar and my scale is ok.
It's bad and dirty but it's working. I didn't find any otther way to do 
it properly.

I've been working on a matplotlib embedded gtk app that updates an image
(made with imshow) with a colorbar and I've noticed that although I can
update the image with an image.set_data(new_array) that the colormapping
and colorbar don't change. Is this the intended behaviour? I guess it
makes perfect sense if the image doesn't change much. 
I am using a figure.clear() and a completely new axes.imshow() each time
I redraw the plot.

Then it must not be *too* easy to find :-)
The legend command returns a legend instance
 leg = ax.legend(something...)
and you can find the legend methods at
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.legend.html
Specifically the "draw_frame" method
 leg.draw_frame(False)
Should help,

Hi,

Hello, I am having trouble with scatter plots. I created a scatter plot of just one point:
 
 s1 = scatter([1,],[1,])
 
 now I want to move this point after its creation and I'm not sure how to do this. I'm been looking around in teh documentation without any success. Is there something that might be close to the following:
 
 s1.set_xydata([2,],[2,])
 
 I can't just clear my axes and redraw the scatter point because it takes too long (there is lots of other stuff on the figure). so I just want to move teh position of the scatter and then do a draw().
 
 any help would be much appreciated! thanks!

Onsi Fakhouri had the same problem and found a workaround. But I 
appreciate your help
the WX_AGG environment variable fixed one problem and your 
information on the linking tool should prove useful
to verify that things are getting build correctly.
See my post today titled "Workaround for 0.87 WXAgg bug".
Apparently according to Onsi
 there is a bug in the C code, memory is not being allocated correctly.

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] switch to subversion tomorrow Tuesday 28 Feb
Hi all,
I will endeavor to switch matplotlib to a subversion repository (newly
available courtesy of SourceForge) tomorrow afternoon/evening
(US/Pacific time) unless I hear pleas from developers with unmerged changes.
I believe the new command for anonymous checkout of matplotlib will be:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib
I'll post the developer checkout command on the matplotlib-devel list
when I figure it out.
Cheers!

Just make it clear:
1) The binary is build so that it will work with all three
2) The question is what is defined as a dependency when you install it, 
and what is set as default in matplotlibrc.
If so, I'd stick with Numeric as the default. Those of us on the 
Bleeding Edge of Numpy can still use it, but people's older code should 
"just work"
As a rule of thumb, I'd wait until Travis calls numpy version 1.0 before 
changing the default.

See my post today titled "Workaround for 0.87 WXAgg bug".
Apparently according to Onsi
 there is a bug in the C code, memory is not being allocated correctly.

If you want to use wxPython, then wx.lib.floatcanvas would make this 
pretty easy.

Sam,

This sure looks like your error occurs when MPL is trying to convert 
from the wxagg internal image storage to a wxBitmap. As a test, I'd make 
sure the pure Agg back-end works fine (have it create a PNG). If so then 
font,s etc have nothing to do withyour trouble...it's all about the agg 
-> wx conversion. that's why I thought it could be caused by liniking to 
the wrong version of wx.
to make sure you have linked to the right version, you can use:
otool -L
on the wxagg libs that MPL builds. That should tell you which wx libs 
you've actuallylinked to.
With any luck, I'll have a chance to try to get this working on my 
system this week, and then maybe I'll be more help.

I thought for a bit longer and found something that works just right:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTK')
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK, NavigationToolbar
from Numeric import *
def close_app(widget, data=None):
 """ A call back if the close window control is clicked."""
 print "delete_event being handled" 
 gtk.main_quit() # gracefully end the application.
if __name__ == "__main__": 
 main_window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
 # Connect the delete_event signal to a function to close the application.
 main_window.connect( "delete_event", close_app)
 main_window.show() 
 figure = Figure(figsize=(6,4), dpi=72) 
 axes = figure.add_subplot(111)
 # This calls the imshow routine and builds an Axes instance for us.
 axes.imshow( array([[2,4,5,5],[5,6,7,8],[7,6,5,7]]))
 main_window.set_border_width(10)
 
 figure_canvas = FigureCanvasGTK(figure)
 nav_tool = NavigationToolbar(figure_canvas,main_window)
 nav_tool.show()
 figure_canvas.show()
 
 vbox = gtk.VBox()
 vbox.show()
 vbox.pack_start(figure_canvas)
 vbox.pack_start(nav_tool, False, False)
 
 main_window.add(vbox) 
 gtk.main()

Onsi,
Thank you very much
This work around worked for me. I haven't tested everything but I can 
make a plot successfully now with WXAgg.
Have you reported this bug?

I'm trying to embed functionality similar to the pylab.imshow() feature
in a gtk application, but my bony head can't find an example program where someone 
does this explicitly, and hunting in the pylab interface has been rather
frustrating. 
I'm using the the more typical x-y plots in gtk apps aleady (thank you
example writers), but the ability to show an colormapped 2d image with a
color bar would be really great.
Any takers?

w/o addressing your original question (perhaps someone else has an
opinion there) I suggest you wait until the 0.87.1 bug fix release
because there is a known problem with 0.87 (images are broken).
