matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Check your matplotlibrc to make sure you have a windowing toolkit=20
backend selected (TkAgg, GTKAgg, WXAgg, etc.) It sounds like you might
have the postscript backend or similar selected.

Well, I'm a new user. My gui doesn't work either. But that's fine with
me since I'm only wanting to use pylab in a TurboGears/CherryPy web app.
Until someone else can help you more, try putting a
"savefig('filename.png') in place of the show(). You'll get a png
written to filename which you can then view to your heart's content, in
all its breathtaking glory, in the viewer of your choice.
Hope this helps at least a little.

Hello list!
I spent the entire weekend trying to make the first example in the
screenshot section
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) work :
from pylab import *
t =3D arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s =3D sin(2*pi*t)
plot(t, s, linewidth=3D1.0)
xlabel('time (s)')
ylabel('voltage (mV)')
title('About as simple as it gets, folks')
grid(True)
show()
The given example works on my friend's system, but here what it does ,
it's just a quiet exit :
$python example.py
$
I then try ed to run python with --verbose-helpful but it was still
all quiet. Also trying to install scipy & friends manually haven't
produced any success ;-( .
I'm desperate as I really don't know where to look for the issue. I'm
that helps, i'm using gentoo.
Enjoy!
