To build the matplotlib users guide, you will need to
* PIL - some of the examples use it to show how to interact with
matplotlib and PIL (cut and paste of the following if you are on a
linux-like box and are a sudoer)
cd /var/tmp/
wget http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.4.tar.gz
tar xvfz Imaging-1.1.4.tar.gz
cd Imaging-1.1.4/
cd libImaging/
./configure ; make
cd ..
sudo python setup.py install
* add the styles dir to your TEXINPUTS environment variable. Eg,
setenv TEXINPUTS .:styles:/usr/share/texmf//
Note the double slash at the end tells TeX to recusively search
that dir.
* Generate the figures
> make figs
Verify that the figures in the figures dir are built. Verify also
that the *.dat files in data were built.
* build the docs
> make dvi
> make pdf
