So I could either regress numpy or build Matplotlib from source. =20
Since I like being able to get
the latest bug fixes for Matplotlib and the last time I build it from =20=

svn it went without a hitch, I
decided to try to build Matplotlib from source. Unfortunately it =20
didn't work this time. I get the error shown below.
I have a powerbook g4 with 10.4.6 and Universal Python =20
2.4.3-2006-04-07.dmg. What am I missing?

Yeah, mpl 0.87.2 was built with numpy 0.9.6.  I don't think a new
matplotlib release is in the near future unless the new numpy warrants
a minor bump.

Charlie,

I finally had some time to update my python matplotlib installation.

I installed
Universal Python 2.4.3-2006-04-07.dmg
numpy 0.9.8 from source
wxPython2.6-osx-unicode-2.6.3.2rc2-universal10.4-py.2.4.dmg
wxPython2.6-osx-ansi-2.6.3.2rc2-universal10.4.py2.4.dmg

Iipython 0.7.1.fix1 was already installed

I tried a test of  matplotlib using ipython and get a segmentation  
fault.

ipython -pylab
loaded rc file /Users/smithsm/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.87.2
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is darwin
numerix numpy 0.9.8
Segmentation fault

I am guessing that you used a different version of numpy?

If I just do python from terminal and import matplotlob then no  
segmentation fault

 >>> import matplotlib
loaded rc file /Users/smithsm/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.87.2
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is darwin

Anybody have any ideas what is happening?

There is probably something in the text strings you are plotting that
LaTeX doesn't like. You need to post an example of the script that
produces the error so we can debug it.

Its difficult to say what the problem might be without seeing a script that 
reproduces the problem. The svn version works well, but I dont know when the 
next release might occur.

Is there a cookbook or reference that is about using matplotlib for data
analysis? I will be using it to plot a waveform from the data samples. Then
have some several clickable options/ tools so that some data manipulation
can occur (e.g. averaging, placing a threshold line in the plot where the
threshold levels can be change dynamically in the plot).

Hi,

I tried to use the PS backend of matplotlib 0.87.2 to create EPS 
figures, but I got the error at the bottom of this email. I'm using 
tetex-2.0.2. These are my modified matplotlibrc settings:

matplotlib.rcParams["backend"] = "PS"
matplotlib.rcParams["font.family"] = "serif"
matplotlib.rcParams["font.size"] = 7.0
matplotlib.rcParams["text.usetex"] = True
matplotlib.rcParams["axes.titlesize"] = 8.0
matplotlib.rcParams["axes.labelsize"] = 7.0
matplotlib.rcParams["xtick.labelsize"] = 7.0
matplotlib.rcParams["ytick.labelsize"] = 7.0
matplotlib.rcParams["legend.fontsize"] = 7.0
matplotlib.rcParams["legend.markerscale"] = 0.7
matplotlib.rcParams["figure.dpi"] = 72
matplotlib.rcParams["figure.facecolor"] = "white"
matplotlib.rcParams["savefig.dpi"] = 72
matplotlib.rcParams["ps.papersize"] = "A4"

What could be the problem? Which versions of tetex are known to work?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

regards,

Toon
