matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I found this: https://github.com/cournape/matplotlib-dependencies
but what should I do with it?
Should I try to compile or put it in some folder?
How to instruct matplotlib to use those?
site.cfg template doesn't have any entry for each of above packages.

Some more info I think I should have posted:

It seems like it looks for freetype header file.
How to supply this?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am using matplotlib with Django.
I want to display figures processed in Django apps by matplotlib in browser
using html5.
I tried:
*def plot_file(request):*
* import matplotlib.cbook as cbook*
* fig = figure()*
* fname = cbook.get_sample_data('msft.csv', asfileobj=False)*
* plotfile(fname, (0,1,2,3))*
*
*
* canvas = FigureCanvas(fig)*
* response = HttpResponse(content_type="image/png")*
* canvas.print_png(response)*
* fig.clear()*
* return response*
This response takes whole page and displays figure.
I have other contents as well to display along with figure.
How can I send it as a canvas object or something else(I am unaware of) in
order to have print logic in html file(django templates)
in order to position figure as my requirement:
I thought of something like this, but not sure:
*def plot_file(request):*
* ---------------*
* ---------------*
* return render_to_response('template.html',{*
* 'canvas':canvas,*
* }, *
* context_instance=RequestContext(request),*
* ) *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please make me inform, If I need to provide more context.

	I have a PathCollection with a lot of closed paths. I'm trying to 
implement a "data cursor" as described here: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4652439/is-there-a-matplotlib-equivalent-of-matlabs-datacursormode 
. I've done this successfuly in the past when the objects I wanted to 
pick were points. However, with this PathCollection, I want to be 
able to click inside the region enclosed by a path, and select the 
path that encloses that region. Using the basic sort of code as shown 
in that post, it seems to only select the path when you click on the 
path itself --- that is, the boundary of the region.
	How can I get a pick event for a PathCollection that tells me the 
path whose interior I clicked in? To make things even more 
complicated, some of the paths are not simply-connected and contain 
other paths inside their "holes", but even handling it without that 
wrinkle would be a start.
Thanks,
