Hm, 2.5.3.1. I know it's time to update my system, but this will have 
to wait for a while. I need to coordinate several modules / versions.
Anyway, thanks for looking into this. If it is really related to my wx 
version, there is no solution for me now. But then again, if I move my 
stuff to an updated Linux system soon, there should be no problem (at 
least not with wx ...).
Thanks,
Christian

I have been unable to reproduce this behavior using matplotlib 0.72 
under OS X 10.3.9 with wxPython 2.6.0.0. What version of wxPython are 
you running?

Hi,
Thanks John and Ken for your detailed replies. They came almost 
immediately, but since I'm 6-7 hours ahead of you and the weekend was 
approaching this answer took a bit longer ...
Anyway, now everything is working - finally I've got it. In contrast to 
your advise, John, I rather don't change the rc-file, for this not such 
a good idea if one wants to distribute the software at some point among 
colleagues.
May I still add a different question? As you know I'm using the WXAgg 
backend (at least in some of my scripts) and embedded essentially 
everything like in the example scripts:
class SAXS_wx(wx.Frame):
	def __init__(self,parent,id,title):
		wx.Frame.__init__(self,None,-1,"SPlot")
<snip>
		self.fig = Figure(figsize=(5,4),dpi=100)
		self.axes = self.fig.add_subplot(111)
		self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.fig)
		self.parent = self.canvas.GetParent()
		self.canvas.mpl_connect('motion_notify_event',self.mouse_move)
		sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
		self.sizer = sizer
		sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wx.LEFT|wx.TOP|wx.GROW|wx.EXPAND)
		
		self.add_splot_toolbar()
		
		self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
		self.Fit()
Now, changing the figsize parameter has absolutely no effect on the 
canvas size whatsoever. Does anybody know how to change the figure 
size? Currently I only get a beautifully, tiny window every user needs 
to expand by hand ...
Once more for the record: I'm stuck with matplotlib 0.71 on Panther (OS 
X 10.3) with Apple's framework Python 2.3 for a while.
Thanks,
Christian

I think basemap requires numarray, presumably because of it's
dependence on nd_image, so if I'm not mistaken you example should be
rewritten to use numarray versions of the modules above. Eg,
 import numarray as Num
 import numarray.ma as MA
and so on...
