There have been some changes to the matplotlibrc file, just 
remove "image.aspect : free # free | preserve" from your file to 
prevent the message.

Thanks John and Darren. I think i'll use the nan trick for now but
the masked array looks incredibly powerful. I'll take a look at the
masked array demo. Thanks once again for your help and some really
awesome plotting software!

Your rc file is out of date, in this case the parameters for handling
image aspect ratio are different. Try updating your rc file from the
recent defaults
### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT
# This is a sample matplotlib configuration file. It should be placed
# in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux like systems) and
# C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib (win32 systems)
#
# By default, the installer will overwrite the existing file in the
# install path, so if you want to preserve your's, please move it to
# your HOME dir and set the environment variable if necessary.
#
# This file is best viewed in a editor which supports python mode
# syntax highlighting
#
# Blank lines, or lines starting with a comment symbol, are ignored,
# as are trailing comments. Other lines must have the format
#
# key : val # optional comment
#
# Colors: for the color values below, you can either use
# - a matplotlib color string, such as r, k, or b
# - an rgb tuple, such as (1.0, 0.5, 0.0)
# - a hex string, such as ff00ff (no '#' symbol)
# - a scalar grayscale intensity such as 0.75
# - a legal html color name, eg red, blue, darkslategray
#### CONFIGURATION BEGINS HERE
# the default backend; one of GTK GTKAgg GTKCairo FltkAgg QtAgg TkAgg
# Agg Cairo GD GDK Paint PS PDF SVG Template
backend : GTKAgg
numerix : numpy # numpy, Numeric or numarray
interactive : False # see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html
toolbar : toolbar2 # None | classic | toolbar2
timezone : UTC # a pytz timezone string, eg US/Central or Europe/Paris
# Where your matplotlib data lives if you installed to a non-default
# location. This is where the matplotlib fonts, bitmaps, etc reside
#datapath : /home/jdhunter/mpldata
### LINES
# See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.lines.html for more
# information on line properties.
lines.linewidth : 1.0 # line width in points
lines.linestyle : - # solid line
lines.color : blue
lines.marker : None # the default marker
lines.markerfacecolor : blue
lines.markeredgecolor : black
lines.markeredgewidth : 0.5 # the line width around the marker symbol
lines.markersize : 6 # markersize, in points
lines.dash_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel
lines.dash_capstyle : butt # butt|round|projecting
lines.solid_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel
lines.solid_capstyle : projecting # butt|round|projecting
lines.antialiased : True # render lines in antialised (no jaggies)
### PATCHES
# Patches are graphical objects that fill 2D space, like polygons or
# circles. See
# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.patches.html for more
# information on patch properties
patch.linewidth 	: 1.0 # edge width in points

### FONT
#
# font properties used by text.Text. See
# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.font_manager.html for more
# information on font properties. The 6 font properties used for font
# matching are given below with their default values.
#
# The font.family property has five values: 'serif' (e.g. Times),
# 'sans-serif' (e.g. Helvetica), 'cursive' (e.g. Zapf-Chancery),
# 'fantasy' (e.g. Western), and 'monospace' (e.g. Courier). Each of
# these font families has a default list of font names in decreasing
# order of priority associated with them.
#
# The font.style property has three values: normal (or roman), italic
# or oblique. The oblique style will be used for italic, if it is not
# present.
#
# The font.variant property has two values: normal or small-caps. For
# TrueType fonts, which are scalable fonts, small-caps is equivalent
# to using a font size of 'smaller', or about 83% of the current font
# size.
#
# The font.weight property has effectively 13 values: normal, bold,
# bolder, lighter, 100, 200, 300, ..., 900. Normal is the same as
# 400, and bold is 700. bolder and lighter are relative values with
# respect to the current weight.
#
# The font.stretch property has 11 values: ultra-condensed,
# extra-condensed, condensed, semi-condensed, normal, semi-expanded,
# expanded, extra-expanded, ultra-expanded, wider, and narrower. This
# property is not currently implemented.
#
# The font.size property is the default font size for text, given in pts.
# 12pt is the standard value.
#
font.family : sans-serif
font.style : normal
font.variant : normal
font.weight : medium
font.stretch : normal
# note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure
# special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc
# settings for axes and ticks. Special text sizes can be defined
# relative to font.size, using the following values: xx-small, x-small,
# small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, or smaller
font.size : 12.0
font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif

If you are using 0.87.3, you can do this:
plot([1.1, 2, nan, 3, 5])

When you do a line scatter plot in excel and data is missing between
two observations excel doesn't connect those two observations with a
line. So what you see is a line with gaps where the data is missing.
Missing data is
defined as having x values but no y value or vice versa. Is there a
good way to get similar behavior in matplotlib?
I tried to attach a bmp that had an example but the mail server
rejected it on the grounds it was too large.

This means you don't have pygtk properly installed and you have GTK*
as one of the backends. Check your matplotlibrc file and either set
the backend to something else (eg TkAgg) or install pygtk.

I am 99% sure this is a font problem. matplotlib embeds the truetype
font into the PS file, which accounts for most of the file size. Paul
Barrett at one point looked into just embedding he glyphs we use
rather than the entire font file but was unsuccessful. It would be
nice if some font guru could revisit this issue at some point since it
would be a big win in terms of file size. What appears to be
happening is that mpl is finding and using a native os x font rather
than the Vera fonts that mpl ships with.
Try editing your matplotlib rc file and change these font preferences
 font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
 font.sans-serif : Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Bitstream Vera Sans, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
 font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
 font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy
 font.monospace : Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace
by moving the bitstream fonts to the front.
I'm inclined to make the bitstream fonts the default (the first item
in the default rc list) so that others won't be bitten by this until
we solve the "dump the entire font" problem. Any objections?
Benoit, please let us know if this fixes your problem. After changing
the rc file, please recursively remove ~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache
before rerunning. Also, if you run your script with --verbose-debug
you will get information about which fonts are loaded.
JDH 

Ok, usetex is going to do postscript processing in the user's current 
directory, but only on windows. On other platforms, the work is done in a 
temp directory. I've tested my changes on linux and windows, and committed 
them to svn as of 2528. Feedback appreciated.

Ignore my last post. I forgot it was .ps that I had trouble with =20
not .eps. I haven't tested either in while so
maybe something is broken now.

I have always had problems with the eps on a Mac. I save it as .ps =20
and then use Distiller (or equivalent) to convert
to eps.

Thanks Jouni, that was a creative suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't work on 
my windows laptop because dvips doesnt find the embedded file unless I either 
run dvips in the directory containing the file to embed or I pass an absolute 
path to includegraphics. I tried wrapping the \includegraphics statement with 
the catcode shifts you suggested, but it didnt work.

I don't have a Windows system to test on, but on a Mac the following trick
seems to deal with the tildes:
 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{graphicx}
 \catcode`\~11
 \graphicspath{{/tmp/foo~bar/}}
 \catcode`\~13
 \begin{document}
 \includegraphics{stuff.pdf}
 \end{document}
If I put stuff.pdf in /tmp/foo~bar, pdflatex (from TeX Live) finds it
just fine. Handling spaces seem to be a more difficult problem...

Hi,
First of all, I'd like to thank matplotlib developers for providing us=20
this wonderful library.
It's been a while now I'm using matplotlib and I'm pretty happy with=20
it. I used to be a Linux user. Recently, I moved to Mac (a macbook=20
pro, to be precise). I succeed to install matplotlib. Everything is=20
working correctly except the export of figures into eps format (which is=20
important when writing papers with LaTeX).
When I'm trying to save a figure in eps, everything seems ok. However,=20
it is impossible to open the eps file. The eps seems to be corrupted. A=20
closer look at the eps file shows that the generated file is 'heavy',=20
i.e., several MB (around 6MB on average). Note that other output=20
formats are correctly generated.
I don't really understand the source of the problem. Probably something=20
that is misconfigured. If somebody has an idea on how to solve this=20
problem, it would be great.
Here is further information on my configuration:
matplotlib data path=20

Sorry for the noise. It was just a missing \usepackage{graphicx} in the
header of my new tex file.

I am using pdflatex and I have used *.png files before without any trouble.
So are there any changes in matplotlib's svn wrt to these graphic formats within the last two weeks ?
Nils
 

Nils,
That's far more a Latex question than a matplotlib one.=20
Short answer: you can't fix the BBox from a JPEG, there's none !
=46rom what I remmbr from my LaTeX years, you need to transform the jpeg to=
 a=20
format LaTeX can understand, viz '.ps' or '.eps'
Check
http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pmg26/hpage/teaching/graphics_LaTeX.html
or the help/manual of the graphicx package, or google "import jpeg latex"

I have a little time and am trying to fix this bug.
Wolfgang, would you try running the following:
import os
from tempfile import gettempdir
os.system('cd %s & latex -help'% gettempdir())
If that doesnt work, than I need to pass an absolute path/eps_filename to=20
\includegraphics. The problem is that on windows, the TEMP environment=20
variable is something like 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\Darren\\Local=20
Settings\\Temp' or 'C:\\DOCUME~1\\Darren\\LOCALS~1\\TEMP', and=20
\includegraphics is not able to deal with filenames that have spaces or=20
tildes (this has been declared a feature, not a bug).=20
I need advice from some of the mpl gurus. If I can't do the os.system('cd .=
=2E.)=20
trick, should I request that windows users either change their temp=20
environment variable to something like c:\temp, should I request that they=
=20
make a new environment variable called mpltemp, or should I just process th=
e=20
file in the current directory?
Thanks,
Darren

Hi all,
I have generated some figures with matplotlib (savefig('test.png')
savefig(test.jpg')).
If I try to include them via
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{test.jpg}
I get
 LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in test.jpg (no BoundingBox).
I am using latest svn versions of numpy/scipy and matplotlib.
Any idea how to fix this problem ?
 
Nils
