matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi,
It turns out I was missing two packages: freetype and libpng. These could
be downloaded as
brew install freetype
brew install libpng
I thought I had done this... I may have re-installed pkg-config via brew as
well.
I'm not sure why I was unable to google this....
After making these changes I had no problem installing the development
version of matplotlib.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
I'm having trouble installing matplotlib on my Mac OS X mountain lion
(10.8).
See my output below. Note two things:
1. The error is "predicted" by
 freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
 * WARNING: Could not find 'freetype2' headers in any
 * of '/usr/local/include', '/usr/include',
 * '/usr/X11/include', '/usr/local/include',
 * '/usr/include', '.',
 * '/usr/local/include/freetype2',
 * '/usr/include/freetype2',
 * '/usr/X11/include/freetype2',
 * '/usr/local/include/freetype2',
 * '/usr/include/freetype2', './freetype2'.
even though I have pkg-config installed via "brew install pkg-config"
2. For some reason, the installer cannot find "ft2build.h". To the best
of my knowledge, this file is not on my machine:
In file included from src/ft2font.cpp:3:
src/ft2font.h:16:10: fatal error: 'ft2build.h' file not found
#include <ft2build.h>
 ^
1 error generated.
I have installed pkg-config via "brew install pkg-config", and "brew
doctor" gives me no issues. I installed matplotlib via the command:
sudo pip install git+
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git#egg=matplotlib-dev
Does anyone know what might be the issue here? I had no problems on OS X
10.7...
Thanks,
Tim

Klo: Since epsg codes comprise a very small subset of possible Basemap 
projections, it may be better to just allow Basemap to accept an epsg 
kwarg. That keyword would be required in order to use a WMS to display 
a map background. This may be tricky though, since Basemap needs more 
information to define a map projection region than is provided by the 
epsg code. We may have to start with just a few supported epsg codes 
and then add more as necessary.
I added a testwms.py example to my fork 
(https://github.com/jswhit/basemap.git) that shows how to use three 
different map projections (epsg codes).

Indeed I was running Apple Python instead of macport.
Thanks for all that pointed it out.

Nokia map services are OK, and can be used even without applying for
free account, but they brand every map with their logo even for
professional licence.
REST services (http://api.maps.nokia.com/en/restmaps/overview.html)
are very limited, in one projection and mapped according central point
instead bounding box. They offer
(http://api.maps.nokia.com/en/index.html) other approaches like JS,
JAVA, HTML5 and perhaps some more advanced service can be deduced from
there in Python, but it's not worth perhaps.
BTW I checked one WMS server
(http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetCapabilities). It has
tiling service (GetTileService) and mapping service (GetMap) but only
in standard projection EPSG:4326
Here are maps provided:
 1 - WMS Global Mosaic, pan sharpened
 2 - WMS Global Mosaic, not pan sharpened
 3 - CONUS mosaic of 1990 MRLC dataset
 4 - SRTM reflectance magnitude, 30m
 5 - Current global view of the earth, morning
 6 - Current global view of the earth in the afternoon
 7 - Blue Marble Next Generation, Global MODIS derived image
 8 - Blue Marble, Global MODIS derived image
 9 - SRTM derived global elevation, 3 arc-second, hue mapped
10 - Global 1km elevation, seamless SRTM land elevation and ocean depth
11 - SRTM derived global elevation, 3 arc-second
12 - United States elevation, 30m
13 - Digital Elevation Map of the United States, DTED dataset, 3
second resolution, grayscale
14 - Digital Elevation Map of the United States, DTED dataset, 3
second resolution, hue mapped
15 - ASTER DEM, tiled only, 1.5 arc-second per pixel
Only first two offer international locations (from Landsat)

Yes, and also to pass right `size` parameter as aspect ratio needs to be correct
Do you want me to try to pair both projections (Basemap name and WKID
and WKT as they call it)?

Looks beautifully :)
As said later today I'll look at Nokia maps and then will try to look
for WMS servers.
