I've encountered a segmentation fault using the Agg backend when making 
and saving a png plot.  The segmentation fault does not seem to occur 
under different backends (e.g. Cairo).

The sequence of commands amounts to making a plot, setting the limits of 
the plot, then saving the plot as a png using savefig.  If the value of 
one of the points is too large, a segmentation fault is generated.  
Obviously the simple work-around is to not plot the out-of-bounds 
points, but the segmentation fault is probably not the desired behavior! 

Below is an example, which generates a segmentation fault on matplotlib 
versions 0.99.0 (run on OS X 10.5.8) and 0.98.5.2 (run on Fedora 11 and 
CentOS 5.3).

Can others reproduce this issue?

Thanks,
Mike Nicolls


import scipy
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import pylab

if __name__ == '__main__':
    
    xdata,ydata = scipy.rand(2,10)
    xdata[3]=1.0e9  # comment out to avoid seg fault
    
    pylab.figure()
    pylab.plot(xdata,ydata,'k.')
    pylab.xlim((0.0,1.0))
    
    pylab.savefig('test.png')

I think it's broken -- it's looking for a libfreetype in the:

Users/jdhunter/devbuild/lib/

dir, which you're pretty unlikely to have!

John, did you mean to have only static lbs in your devbuild/lib dir, 
which I think would work?

You need to issue a show() here. Thus the plotting window will hang on the
screen until you close it.

Hello list,
I recently started using Eclipse with Pydev. I like it a lot but have not
been able to get interactive plotting going (which otherwise works fine).

My file is simple:

from pylab import *

ion()

plot([1,2,3])


When I run this form within Eclipse, I do see a graphing window open up but
then it disappears again when it is done, before I can even look at it.

Any suggestions on how to keep the graphing window open?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

I tried to install 0.99.1 [I installed 0.99 a few days ago. I hoped  
that with 0.99.1 I'd get rid of problems with using imshow with  
masked_array and set_bad(alpha=0.0)]:

Am I missing something or is this 0.99.1 OSX package somehow broken?

Hi,

pickers work great to make matplotlib plots more interactive/general user
friendly.

On the subject of the legend_picker.py example, I was wondering if it was
possible to combine both a legend picker and a line picker in the same plot.
>From what I gather they will both use the same onpick event callback. 

So my question is : How do I discriminate between a pick on the legend from
a pick on a line ? The event.artist is a line2D in both cases.

Hi,
I have the same problem as Andrew Kelly

I did the example code below (from coords_demo.py) to reproduce the bug :

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
An example of how to interact with the plotting canvas by connecting
to move and click events
"""
import sys
from pylab import *

t = arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
ax = subplot(111)
ax.set_xscale('log')
#ax.plot(t,s)
ax.axhline(0.5, 0, 1)


def on_move(event):
    # get the x and y pixel coords
    x, y = event.x, event.y
   
    if event.inaxes:
        ax = event.inaxes  # the axes instance
        print 'data coords', event.xdata, event.ydata
        lst = ax.hitlist(event)
       

def on_click(event):
    # get the x and y coords, flip y from top to bottom
    x, y = event.x, event.y
    if event.button==1:
        if event.inaxes is not None:
            print 'data coords', event.xdata, event.ydata

binding_id = connect('motion_notify_event', on_move)
connect('button_press_event', on_click)

if "test_disconnect" in sys.argv:
    print "disconnecting console coordinate printout..."
    disconnect(binding_id)

show()
