I assume you mean the mpkg file - I don't see any dmg file on the
download page. It seems to me that something is wrong with that file,
since release/osx/Makefile compiles its own Freetype and attempts to
link to it statically, but the file ft2font.so distributed within the
mpkg installer links dynamically to /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib.

AFAIK, the static linking is done precisely to avoid version mismatches
between different versions of freetype, zlib, and png on various
versions of OS X. Several *.so files within the mpkg link to
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib and /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (though,
curiously, none link to the system libpng).

I suppose this is exactly the kind of problem that results from dynamic
linking to a wrong version of freetype:

Hey all,

I was just hoping anyone could help me further here... it would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John,

I've seen this problem happen before with someone else; the person's
X11 installation for some reason included the file
libfreetype.6.3.dylib but not librfreetype.6.3.dylib. Did you install
X11 before or after installing the Xcode development tools? Also, if
you had to install X11 yourself, I'm assuming you're using OS X Tiger
(or at least not 10.5.x)? I'd recommend trying a reinstall of X11 (if
you're not using Leopard) and then Xcode in your situation, but a
quicker workaround is to install freetype yourself (thus putting a
copy in /usr/local) and build matplotlib from source rather than use
the installer package.

Try to put plt.draw() before plt.show().

My guess is that what show() does is to create figure windows, and in
most cases it does not redraw the figure (Tk backend is always an
exception). So, this may not be a bug.
But I hope some who knows well about the backends clarify this.

Regards,

-JJ

I do have X11. It looks like there's a problem with the libfreetype, but I don't understand what the problem is.

To me arrows are always useful to see the direction of wind easily.
Since in meteorological convention barbs show where the wind is
blowing from, but in pilot convention (I might have made up this one
:)) in the opposite way.

OK, with TK, it does refresh when I expect it to. So now to write a new 
thread, on a wxAgg refresh bug.

yup -- stick plots are commonly used for wind data.

oops, no it doesn't -- what that does is give me a new figure each time, 
so I get a big stack of them. So I tried:

fig = plt.figure(1)
fig.clear()

then I didn't get a new figure, but I didn't get the figure updated, 
either -- could this be a back-end bug? I'm using wxAgg, and IIRC, the 
refreshing code is pretty messed up..

Off to try TK

I am playing with some other commands to achieve updating on the same
figure, no luck yet.

I guess that is what you actually been trying to see? Update the
figure content without opening another one?
