[matplotlib-devel] xkcd doesn't seem to work in MacOSX backend

Hello list,

I don't seem to get xkcd to work in the MacOSX backend. When I try to make
a plot I get a nice white figure with nothing on it. Here's what I did:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib # responds with Using matplotlib backend: MacOSX
plt.plot([1,2,3])  # gives white figure with nothing on it

When I do a kernel restart and specify the qt backend it works fine (so I
have a workaround), but I presume it should work, right?

Thanks,

Mark
