Christopher,

Everything works fine for me.
Can it be just that the canvas is not redrawn after you set the linewidth?
It will be helpful if you post a standalone script that reproduces your problem.

Michael: It's ax.frame.set_linewidth (not ax.patch).

Chris - Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, it didn't seem to have 
any effect on the frame I created.

I notice with matplotlib 0.98.5.1, I get a warning with get_frame(), 
telling me to use the patch object of the axes instead of get_frame().

So, when I use this with an axes created for a Basemap, I can't get the 
thickness of the frame around the axes to change.

I'm using Basemap 0.99.2.

The code demonstrating the issue is attached, and the relevant lines of 
code are near the bottom of the script.

Thanks,

Mike

Actually, I just went back and found a reply from Jae-Joon to a post of 
mine in November about this. He points out that get_frame() is 
deprecated, but that gca().frame.set_linewidth(2) should work. This is 
not working for me either now (it was at the time), and now that I 
notice, I am also unable to change the tick width the way I used to:

for tl in pp.gca().get_xticklines() + pp.gca().get_yticklines():
     tl.set_markeredgewidth(2)

...and I also can get invert_yaxis() (or xaxis) to work either.

I'm on windows, using 0.98.5, ang Qt4Agg backend. I get no warnings or 
errors. Does anyone have any ideas?

Scott:  I've replaced the windows installers on the sf download site - 
could you try the new ones and let me know if I've fixed the problem? 
Thanks.

Scott:  Yep, you are right.  I'll try to post a new installer today.

Hi Jeff,

I'm seeing the following error with basemap-0.99.3 on Windows. It was
installed using the binary installer from sourceforge (as were Numpy
and Matplotlib).

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on

win32

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import numpy

>>> numpy.__version__

'1.2.1'

>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__
0.98.5.2
>>> from mpl_toolkits import basemap

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mpl_toolkits\basemap\__init__.py", line 34

, in <module>

    import pyproj, sys, os, math, dbflib

ImportError: No module named dbflib

>>>

>From a quick look at the setup.py in SVN (around line 170) it seems
that shapelib and dbflib might be installed on the machine where the
installer is built and "provide_pyshapelib  == 'auto'" is True during
the build process?

Location: C:\leo\.matplotlib
Running Windows XP SP2
Obtained from pythonxy v. 2.1.10
No rc customizations ...

I've been having a devil of a time getting my rcParams to update
mid-script.  Perhaps this isn't possible, but if that's so, it's not
entirely clear.  Even if it is so, this is seemingly a defect, because in an
interactive session one expects quite different behavior (and no amount of
iPython %reset-ing seems to be able to help).

Note that manually setting the font (or what have you) in *title* works
fine.

Here is some example code:

############## BEGIN #########
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import rc, rcParams, rcdefaults
from matplotlib.pyplot import plot, show, figure, title

print matplotlib.__version__
print matplotlib.get_configdir()
print
print "rcParams['font.sans-serif']:", rcParams['font.sans-serif']
print 'family is:', rcParams['font.family']
print
figure(4)
title('This should be in a sans-serif font')
show()

rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = rcParams['font.monospace']
print "rcParams['font.sans-serif']:", rcParams['font.sans-serif']
print 'family is:', rcParams['font.family']
print
figure(1)
title('This should be in a monospace font')
show()

rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = rcParams['font.serif']
