Perhaps it is your environment, not Matplotlib.
A copy-paste of this program run without problems on my system.
Anaconda 64 bits, IPython console (within Spyder).
But *Windows 7*, not 8.

Jerzy Karczmarczuk

I think you didn't understand my problem.

The line matplotlib.use("whateverbackendwhichcanwork") is here just to test
different backends, in case the 3d plot works on some backend or not on
others.

I tried 4 different backends and I can't plot in 3d with any of them (the
default backend included). So to remove this line doesn't change anything
unfortunately.

However, I realise I did a typo in my previous message, the line:
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltfig = plt.figure()

should be:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()

matplotlib.use("agg") will not allow the figure to show. It means to use
the non-interactive backend that is good only for saving to files. Take
that out and you should be fine.

Hi,

I am using the distribution Anaconda 64-bit.

I never got problems with it. But on that new PC on windows 8.1, I can't
plot anything in 3D.
Note that I have an other windows 8.1 installation which works well.

2D plots work fine.

To create a 3D axe works and then to show the figure works fine:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("agg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltfig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
plt.show()

But to create the 3D axes, to draw in it, and then to show the figure, that
crashes:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("agg")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)
cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z)
ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)

plt.show()


Basically on iPython QT console I would get an error like:
""Kernel died, restarting""

I tried different backend:
- either they are not installed,
- or they send the message "Kernel died, restarting"
- or they send no error but no figure is created.


Any idea of what is the problem?​

This looks neat. I am sorry you haven't gotten a response back yet from
others on the mailing list. What would be really neat is if we could
generalize this to not require TeX/PGF (i.e., find a freetype font that
does this) and make a matplotlib style file.

Cheers!

Virgil,

Presumably you set up some callback function that is called when you click on the first figure, and which creates the second figure.  Can't you change rcParams['toolbar'] in that callback function?  Does it not have any effect?

I would like to be able to control when there is and there is not a 
navigation toolbar for figures. For example, suppose I have created a 
figure in which I do not wish to have a toolbar. I have used the 
following statement for this:|

mpl.rcParams['toolbar']='None'|

which works fine. This figure (without a navigation toolbar) contains 
some points in it that are used to display more figures (each with an 
image in it). That is, when one of the points is clicked on with a 
mouse, a new figure is created with a PNG image in it. I wish to have a 
navigation toolbar in all these figures containing images.

How can I place navigation toolbars in these figures with PNG images?

Hmm, no reply again. Are these emails getting through?

I appreciate this was quite a long and detailed question -- maybe I
should raise these sorts of things on the MPL dev list instead? I'm
happy to contribute on improving the (TeX) font control, if there's
interest, but for now found a workaround using the mathspec package:

 mpl.rcParams["font.serif"] = ["TeX Gyre Pagella"]
 mpl.rcParams["pgf.preamble"] = [r"\usepackage{mathspec}",
    r"\defaultfontfeatures{Numbers=OldStyle}",
    r"\setmathsfont(Digits,Greek){TeX Gyre Pagella}"]

and variations on that theme. Not wonderfully integrated, and could be
improved, but it does allow the math font (used for tick labels for some
reason) to be specified as completely as the text one.

Cheers,
Andy
