matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi all,
I'm hoping to contribute to the effort to of providing pre-built 
packages for the new Universal Build of Python 2.4.3 for OS-X. They'll 
go up on pythonmac.org eventually. I'd like to get some consensus for 
what the MPL package should look like.
In the past, I've done it this way:
libpng and libfreetype statically linked
Support for tk and wx.
No support for GTK.
How does this look for folks?
Does anyone use PyGTK with the Framework build of Python (rather than 
darwinports or fink)? If so, if someone can either build a package for 
it or tell me how, I could support that as well.
Charlie: I know you've been building packages -- how are you doing it? 
for what Python? Maybe I don't have anything to do.

Look at the fill_between demo.

Have you seen examples/fill_between.py?

Hi All,
I have seen the example fill_demo.py where the pylab.fill method is
used to fill in the curve for a function. However, this demo fills
from the function value to the 0-line of the y-axis. What I want to
do is fill BETWEEN 2 lines (i.e. have the baseline be a curve instead
of y=3D0). Is this possible with the pylab.fill method?
Cheers,
Julius Lucks

I am in the midst of battling the OS X postscript font idiosyncrasies.
I wish to switch to:
 font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans
so that I can produce usable postscript files. This works fine if I 
edit the matplotlibrc file and run the code.
BUT I figured it would be better to do this in the code, since I only 
want this for the PS backend.
I thought that the following should produce the same result as editing 
the matplotlibrc file but it apparently does not.
fontDict = {'family':'sans-serif',
 'style': 'normal',
 'variant':'normal',
 'weight': 'medium',
 'stretch':'normal',
 'size': 12.0,
 'sans-serif':['Bitstream Vera Sans']}
pylab.rc('font',**fontDict)
What (probably obvious) am I missing?
By the way pylab.rc('text',usetex = True) works fine for me to yield 
good PS.

Attached.
