matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Thank you. You are correct. The matplotlib version 1.0.0 works for me too!

I will post this reply so that others can be aware that the problem seems to be only with matplotlib version 1.0.1. 
The previous version matplotlib 1.0.0 works ok with Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard and Apple Python 2.6.1

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you need to set 
your rcParams in a matplotlibrc file that will be the one found for a 
given run through all your scripts; or modify your scripts so that they 
take rcParams on the command line, and modify your master run-all script 
so that it feeds those rcParams to each script as it is called.

For the first approach, you can either have your master script copy a 
given matplotlibrc file into each subdirectory before doing your chdir() 
to that subdirectory, or you can simply set that matplotlibrc file at 
the beginning of the run, using a single location on the search path for 
matplotlibrc.  That search path includes a path that you may set using 
the environment variable MATPLOTLIBRC, and, relative to your home 
directory, ".matplotlib/".  For either type of path, note that it is a 
directory that is specified; the file is always named "matplotlibrc".

On X11 systems, windows generally provide information about themselves
to the system.  These include things like the window title, window
class, window role, and window type.  These allow window managers to
properly handle the windows, and in some window managers (like KDE's
kwin), lets you set rules for windows of certain types.

As best as I can tell, by default matplotlib does not provide most of
this information.  It provides the window title and the window type,
but it doesn't seem to provide the window class or the window role.
These two properties, however, are exactly the properties someone
would want to use when trying to set up rules for particular windows.
This makes it impossible to set window-specific rules for the plots.

Is there something in the matplotlib configuration that would let
someone set these properties, and if not is there any way matplotlib
could set them itself?

I'm sorry if this is a common question.

Hi,

for my thesis I have a laaaaarge number of plots generated
by--again--a laaaaaaarge number of Python scripts.

Now I need a moderate font size for all of them for the thesis while
for a presentation and poster it needs to be much bigger.

In order to keep track of all the plots and files I use a script which
just calls them and copies the relevant files to a folder:


import pylab, shutil, subprocess

cwd = os.getcwd()
dest = './pyplots/'

p20 = '../20_Glasses+Liquids/'
p21 = '../21_LensDesign/'
p22 = '../22_comsol/'
p23 = '../23_OSLO/'
p23_glc = '../23_OSLO/OSLO_glc/'

def main():
  runP20()

def runP20():
  os.chdir(p20)
  subprocess.call([sys.executable, 'Generic_OpticalLiquids.py'])
  os.chdir(cwd)
  shutil.copy(p20+'Generic_OpticalLiquids_n-V.pdf', dest)

This might be a very clumsy approach but I find it very helpful. The
problem is that changing any rcParam has no effect on the created
files, opposed to using execfile instead of subprocess.call().

What can I do to change plot settings globally for that task?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

On a fully updated Mac OSX 10.6.6 the installation of
http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.0/matplotlib-1.0.0.tar.gz/download

Dear Matplotlib users
My apologies if this question is a bit simple, but I am new to Python, but I think I've done all the RTFM things and still hit a brick wall. I can see from Google that I am not the first to strike this problem, but no solutions seem to be posted.

I am trying to install matplotlib on a Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)(OS fully up to date).
When I try to install, I get the error message: 
> lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//cctV2zuc.out (No such file or directory)
> error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1

(full session messages are pasted at the end of this post)

I reach this same point via a variety of varied different installation strategies, which I have documented and outlined below.
Any assistance or guidance would be gratefully received.

With many thanks

System:
Mac OSX 10.6.6
Xcode installed and up to date
Python 2.6.1 (Apple)

NumPy installed OK (so I think I have mastered the process of "python setup.py build" and "... install")

===

Pathways leading to the error message:

I obtained Matplotlib from the matplotlib home page download link to sourceforge

a) mpkg/dmg installation 1.0.1-r0 fails with message "can't be installed on this disk. matplotlib requires System Python 2.6 to install"

b) matplotlib-1.0.1.tar, then cd to tar directory, then "sudo python setup.py build" fails with the missing *.out error message above.

c) easy-install using "sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg" fails with same missing *.out error message

===

I have tried this on two different Macs, with same outcome and same error messages.
I have also searched the matplotlib archives ditto Google for this problem. I can see others have encountered it, but noone seems to have posted a solution.

No problem. This caught me out a long time ago and has also caught out
a few people I know.

Problem solved ... even as orginally C++ or Java programmer it is strange,
but a interpreted language makes it possible to obtain with an import at a
different position a complety different behaviour during run-time. 

I just putted the import of mathplotlib and pylab after the file reading and
after the type conversion and it works. :jumping:

Comment to just switch to another system with 64bit. Sometimes if your are
not admin of a machine, than it is hard to change the system ;-)

Thank you anyhow, based on your comments I found the solution. Do you
perhaps know if there is something like a memdefrag :-/?
