S=E6ll !
I was simply planning to be able to move between the default positions 'upp=
er right', 'upper left', etc
But I believe I can use _offset.
However it did not produce much effect
I have defined the legend the following way:
canvas.leg=3DFigure.legend(canvas.figure,tuple([i[1] for i in d]),tuple([i[=
0] for i in d]),'best')
And then when I toggle a button I apply the following move with the canvas =
object, which is just a test offset
 def toggle_legend(self, event):
 """ Toggle the label in the legend button=20
 between Upper Right and Upper Left """
 =20
 if self.Legend_button.get_active()=3D=3D1:
 self.Legend_button.set_label("Upper Right")
 else:
 self.Legend_button.set_label("Upper Left")
 self.leg._offset(0.1,0.56)
 self.draw()
 =20
 return
When I toggle the button, the label changes, but the legend is unmoved.
Am I missing something ?=20

Great! Start with agg, then image, then gtkagg, and that may be all
you need. Unless you want to use matplotlib interactively from the
shell, in which case tkagg is your best bet.

Hi John,
Looks like in the previous mail, i had set the build numarray on, now i
removed that flag, and the installation went on smooth, and i could
1) pygtk,
2) gtk, and
3) matplotlib
things went smooth so far, and i run most of the examples bearing some.
Now i will try to set things to auto slowly and try the rest.
BTW: the following were the developmental packages that i needed here:
(At work our sys's have not installed any of the developmental packages)
audiofile-devel-0.2.3-6.i386.rpm gtk2-devel-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm
esound-devel-0.2.28-4.i386.rpm gtk+-devel-1.2.10-25.i386.rpm
freetype-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm imlib-devel-1.9.13-12.i386.rpm
freetype-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm ORBit-devel-0.5.17-7.i386.rpm
freetype-utils-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm pygtk2-1.99.16-8rh9.i386.rpm
glib-devel-1.2.10-10.i386.rpm

gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-32.i386.rpm
pygtk2-libglade-1.99.16-8rh9.i386.rpm
Many had circular dependences, and hence the requirement.

Well it looks like you did not turn off the BUILD_IMAGE flag - set
BUILD_IMAGE = 0 and all the other BUILD_* flags except FT2FONT to 0.
The instructions for how to handle arrayobject are included later in
my instructions, but let's stay on target!
Note that I did give you the wrong path for arrayobject in my previous
email. When you get to step 8, I'm fairly certain you will need
 module.include_dirs.append('/home/karthik/usr/include/python')

A couple of areas in the build process currently require an X
connection. This should probably be fixed. Are you building on a
local or remote machine?
 * If you are building on a remote machine, you need to set the
 display or use automatic X forwarding with ssh -X.
 * If you are building on a local machine, I think the problem is
 that when you go to install you are root and root doesn't have
 access to the display. You can verify this by trying to do
 root> xterm&
 and see if you can get a window to pop up. If not, you need to
 tell the windowing system to allow connections from root. 
Unix gurus please advise here. Something like
 user> python setup.py build
 user> xhost +
 user> su
 root> python setup.py install
 root> exit 
 user> xhost -
Let me know!

Well that's interesting because pkg-config is doing it's job and
finding -L/opt/gnome/lib. You should verify that that flag is indeed
being added on the compile line that is failing but it should be so I
don't think this is your problem. In and case, could you post that
line and the first couple of error messages you get. 
Can anyone think of any reason why you would get a linker failure to
find -lgobject-2.0 if the compiler gets -L/opt/gnome/lib and the
following exist
 /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.a
 /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.la
 /opt/gnome/lib/libgobject-2.0.so
Is this some sun os weirdness?

Dear experts,
I have added the following entries in setupext.py (i.e. '/opt/gnome'
basedir = {

Now python setup.py build works fine.

Hi John,
Thankx for your reply. Well, i have tried the following:
step 1: done
step 2: done
step 3: i have added '/home/karthik/usr' to the basedir which is now
basedir = {

matplotlib uses pkg-config in setupext.py to locate the gtk libs,
flags, etc, and it's supposed to work, damn it! I am not sure why it
is failing in your case. I'd be interested to see your output of
 > pkg-config --libs pygtk-2.0
 > pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
I think you need to do 2 things
 * add /opt/gnome to your list of base dirs in setupext.py. Is your
 sys.platform 'sunos5'? If so, add it to the sunos5 list in the
 basedir dictionary. Also, please let me know what final settings
 work for you in that file and I can add it to the default config.
 * In setupext.py method add_pygtk_flags, paste in the line
 add_base_flags(module) 
 at or near the top of that function
Hope this helps,
JDH

Dear experts,
I am going to install matplotlib (latest cvs) on SuSe 9.1

What can I do to circumvent the problem ?

Since you are facing multiple issues, let's try and get the simplest
build working and then add stuff in. First though, it would be
helpful if you told me what devel rpms you needed to install so I
recommend these on the web page to other users. BTW, the two pages
most relevant for you with installation information are
http://matplotlib.sf.net/installing.html and
http://matplotlib.sf.net/backends.html. Make sure you give these a
good read.
From reading your email, I see that you are installing everything to
your home dir, is that right?
Step 1: start with a clean matplotlib src tree. I don't want to try
 and work with the one where you have hardcoded information in the
 code because then I don't know what is going on. Just untar the
 tar.gz file in a new dir and start cleanly
Step 2: Edit setup.py and turn all the BUILD flags off, except for
 BUILD_FT2FONT. Let's try and get a working base install and then deal
 with getting the extension code compiled.
Step 3: Edit setupext.py and add any non-standard base dirs in which
 you have installed stuff (eg /home/you/usr, /home/you/usr/local') to
 the basedirs dictionary at the top of that file. Your platform is
 linux2.
Step 4: Install matplotlib with > python setup.py install
Step 5: If the build doesn't finish cleanly (the only reason I can
 think it would fail is if you don't get ft2font built properly.
 This package requires lib freetype so make you have the freetype and
 freetype-devel libs installed. It also requires libz so make sure
 you have zlib and zlib-devel installed. If you have installed these
 to a nonstandard place, make sure you add the basedir to setupext
 basedirs.
Step 6: OK, I'm assuming you have a clean install at this point. If
 you installed with a non-standard prefix, you need to set your
 MATPLOTLIBDATA environment variable. This data should point to the
 dir that contains, for example, all the Vera*.ttf files. Eg,
 /your/install/prefix/share/matplotlib. If you add this to your rc
 file, make sure you resource your rc or open a new shell.
Step 7: At this point, if you have numarray and pygtk installed
(1.99.16 or later), you should be able to import matplotlib. Open up
python shell and make sure you can do
 >>> import pygtk
 >>> pygtk.require('2.0')
 >>> import gtk
 >>> import numarray
 >>> import matplotlib
 If not, let us know what error you are getting. You should now be
 able to run python simple_plot.py -dGTK
 
Step 8: Edit setup.py and add the other build flags back in. You can
 set the ones you want to build to 'auto', which will try and build
 an extension if the python dependencies are found. If you still
 have problems with arrayobject.h, let me know. You can add the
 include path to that file in the build_image method in setupext.py
 by doing
 module.include_dirs.append('/your/path/to/numerix/headers')
 
 ie, /home/karthik/usr/include/python/numarray
We do want to improve the build process for people who have stuff in
non-default locations, and it would be very helpful for us if you tell
us explicitly what you had to add and change in the steps above so we
can incorporate as much as possible into the default.
Good luck!

There is currently no "move to" location, but there is an offset
method where you can supply a deltxa, deltay in relative sizes, in
your case fractions of the figure width and height. So if you wanted
to move the legend 5% of the figure width to the right and 10% of the
figure height up, you can call
 leg._offset(0.05, 0.10)
The leading underscore means that this method was intended for
internal use, and may change in future releases, but you can try it
and see if it works for you. If it does, I can probably make it
a public method for the next release.
As always you'll need to call canvas.draw after setting the new legend
location.

Z-order is something I hadn't given thought to before John started this thread, but I think that since change may be in the wind, the errorbar z-order is probably wrong at the moment and should probably be changed so that the plot-line is in front of the errorbars. What do others think?

Hi,
i am trying to get matplotlib working. This seems to be as of now the best
that i have found but i cant install it at work. We have a RH9 system, and
matplotlib required a lot of development packages and updates. After all
the installation (which it says is successful), when i try to import
matplotlib or run the examples:
(i am using ipython so i can do run xyz.py)
> run bar_stacked.py
----> RuntimeError: Could not find the matplotlib data files
the path was not working so i manually set the path at the __init__.py
file to path = '/home/karthik/usr/share/matplotlib'
Then when i try it again
> run bar_stacked.py
----> from matplotlib import rcParams
ImportError: cannot import name rcParams
On the third attempt:
> run bar_stacked.py
----> ind = arange(N)
NameError: name 'arange' is not defined
the numerix package was numarray, and while installation the _image.cpp
file had problems with "arrayobject.h", it couldnt find it, i manually set
the path as
#include "/home/karthik/usr/include/python/numarray/arrayobject.h"
How do i proceed now?
With warm regards
karthik
