Good answer, but there may be one exception. The Matlab function 
description indicates that it can produce eps files with the cmyk color 
space, which is indeed something that publishers tend to want, and 
something that we don't do. Whether Matlab does it well, and whether 
with some reasonable modification to the mpl ps backend we could do at 
least as well, I don't know.

Momme: Thanks for the report - this is now fixed in SVN, along with your 
other problem with the robinson projection. If you can't update from 
svn, I can make a tarball for you.

matplotlib produces publication quality output, and I think you can reproduce 
all the features of this script by simply modifying your rc parameters. Your 
on-screen results should look like your eps output, most importantly you need 
to set your figure.dpi according to your display size. Aside from that, have a 
look at the default matplotlibrc file for the many options you can customize.

Thanks.
I haven't done this yet, but I think the problem may have been related to my
locales setting. Presently all is working after editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n
to update LC_CTYPE and other variables.

Folks,
I am trying to install, in a private 'space', 0.98.3 on a linux 
x86-64 scientific cluster on which I am not the admin. tcl/tk is 
indeed installed, and I know where they are. matplotlib cannot find 
them. When running 'python setup.py build', tclConfig.sh and 
tkConfig.sh are on the path.
It seems tcl/tk detection is a persistent issue, from searching the 
web. My head hurts right now on this, so I hope there's some kind of 
an answer.
Some output:
> python setup.py build
