matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello users,
I wish to repeatedly re-plot labels and contour data on a figure since 
redrawing the figure is temporally expensive. The attached script (I 
apologize for its length), hopefully, illustrates a simplified version 
of what I'm trying to do -- contour temporally-varying data on a map 
projection.
I do not understand how to erase the plot label each time the figure is 
to be reused. I also do not know how to erase the contour-fill 
although, based on the generated PNG files, it does not, for unknown 
reasons , appear to be necessary. From some postings, it seems that I 
have to employ collections attributes, but I have not been able to find 
documentation or examples that illustrate this.
My system:
 * matplotlib.__version__: '0.91.2'
 * sys.version: '2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC
 v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]'
Thanks,
-- jv

 Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.

I would suggest to reinstall the necessary packages.

Hi people
I'm trying to use matplotlib, ipython and xubuntu(gusty) all together. 
Whenever I try to run ipython with -pylab tab, nothing extra happens to 
the start up screen and pylab hasn't been imported. I have managed to 
sucessfull install ipython and matplotlib on a Redhat system and ipython 
 -pylab works. ipython and matplotlib work btw
I've tried install from source, apt and easy_install all to to avail
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong or an output to post to show 
more details of what is happening on my machine
Thanks
Andy

fig = pylab.figure(figsize=(6,10), dpi=96)
[...]
pylab.savefig("filename.eps", dpi=96)
,where figsize in the figure size in inches.

xylims = (-10,10) # set your axis limits here
pylab.gca().set_xlim(xylims)
pylab.gca().set_ylim(xylims)
pylab.gca().set_aspect('equal')
That's the quick-and-easy way. If the limits differ, you can create your 
own new axes instance, have a look at axes_demo.py in the examples.
