matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Somehow, this doesn't seem very satisfying.  It is almost accidental.  There
has to be a better way to do this.

Sorry for the badly formatted email with broken threading (I realized that my matplotlib-user
subscription was held due to my email bouncing earlier in the month.

Where should the freeetype headers be? I thought they were installed when
calling make with the dependencies being fetched?

I think this has been fixed in svn, on both the maintenance branch and
the trunk.

It looks as if you do not have the freetype development headers installed.

My suggestion was wrong, and I'm baffled.  Running your set of commands 
with your matplotlibrc (so that tkagg is used), I don't see the change 
in memory consumption.  Maybe it is a problem with tk on the mac. Or 
something that was changed between 0.99.3 and 1.0.

I am trying to compile matplotlib for ActiveState 2.7.0.1 - 64bit on mac os x.
I have installed numpy 1.4.1 and scipy 0.8.0 from source. Compiling matplotlib
using 

sudo make -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_build mpl_install

works fine, but 

sudo python setup.py build

yields the error below. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi Daniel,

Ok, so it works as expected? Great.

No real need to also bring it up on mpl devel, since I'm the
maintainer of mplot3d anyway ;-)

If you can send me the working code for contourf when you have that
I'll add all of it soon.

Cheers,
Reinier

One way is to specify the axes manually, e.g. setting:

(with matyplotlib.pyplot importad as plt:)

plt.axis([200, 500, -600, 600])

...or whatever seems fitting for you, and do that on both of the y axes.
That should align them nicely.

Hi,

I'm creating a stand alone program on my mac with OSX 10.4 and it seems to
work great on it. However, if I transfer my program to a snow leopard (10.6)
mac, I get the error:

      File "/Volumes/KINGSTON/Mac/RAW.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py",
line 158, in <module>
       _run('RAW.py')

A search on it came up with someone having the same problem (
http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg14252.html),
but the cause doesn't seem to be exactly the same since as my ft2font.so is
linked correctly against  /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib ?

heres the otool info:

/opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current
version 11.0.0)

version 1.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
47.1.0)

I installed all packages and python 2.6 using Macports.  Does anyone see the
problem here?

Hi Daniel,

If you're using the mpl 1.0 or the svn version, you can try to
overwrite this file of mplot3d and run the attached modified version
of the example you sent. Can you tell me if this is the expected
result? For the projection on the planes normal to 'x' and 'y' it
doesn't look very appealing to me! (so I'm not sure it's correct)

Cheers,
Reinier

Well, maybe, but why does it not happen for John? His penultimate post 
showed, that his iPython session does not have this problem? Is there a 
setting that might influence this apart from the hold state?
