It does. It helps me a lot, thank you.

Ah - just to be clear, for scipy 0.5.2, scipy.io.fromfile is in fact
numpy.fromfile - that was just a goofy import error on my part when
writing the matlab file loading routines. For clarity, I think it is
best to pull this from the scipy.io namespace for the next release, so
please use numpy.fromfile for this.
Best,

Hi all,
Is there a way to add the coordinates in text form to each plus in the
attached figure ?
ERach plus in the plot is generated by
plot([data[-1].real],[data[-1].imag],'k+')
For example the rightmost plus (in the upper right half plane) should
have a text (1.049+0.692j)
Can I use text for this purpose ?
 
Any pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
 Nils

Does anybody understand why CXX extensions don't pickle?
I have the same problem with my own CXX extensions, which I make with SWIG.
On the other hand, FORTRAN extensions using f2py pickle fine!

Aha! What is fixed is the corresponding error in contour3D--but 
strangely, the same error in contourf3D was never fixed. I took a stab 
at it just now but failed--there is more wrong with it than this simple 
error--so I made it raise NotImplementedError. I don't know whether 
contourf3D ever *did* work. Nor am I sure exactly what it should do if 
it worked. The problem is that no one has taken on the maintenance of 
the 3D plotting.

Hi all,
Did any progress get made beyond this discussion below? I'm trying to
get contourf3D working, using latest svn, and it still seems to be
out-of-order. Contour3D works, but I get exactly the same errors (and
went exactly the same route trying to fix them) as Matthew.

Which one is supposed to be the 'first' error mentioned here? In my
latest svn checkout, the line:
levels, colls = self.contourf(X, Y, Z, 20)
still appears to be present.
