Thanks. Is that some sort of blending edge feature? I just installed
0.98.5.3, but the sample code gives me the error:

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bbox_to_anchor'

It would be a good idea -- but for now you can grab the source
distribution *.tar.gz from the download page and look in the
"examples" subdirectory.  All the code, data and support files are
there (the web examples are automatically built from this directory).
If you are on a linux/unix box or any box that has an svn client, the
easiest way is to just check out::

  svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib
matplotlib
  cd mpl/examples

or if you just want the examples rather than the whole source tree::

  > svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/examples
mpl_examples

but I suggest getting the source because some of the examples only run
on svn and you may want to install from svn to use them

hi list,

I'm new to matplotlib. My environment is WinXP, PythonWin 2.6.2, NumPy
1.3.0, matplotlib 0.98.5.3.

>>> import matplotlib.pylab as pylab
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py", line 253, in

    from matplotlib.pyplot import *

<module>
    new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, show = pylab_setup()
  File "D:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\__init__.py", line
25, in pylab_setup
    globals(),locals(),[backend_name])

    import tkagg                 # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension
  File "D:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\tkagg.py", line 1,
in <module>
    import _tkagg
ImportError: DLL load failed: cannot find the module

I searched the web and it's said because of lack of msvcp71.dll, but there
is already on in my C:\windows\system32\

anyone can help?
Thanks.

    Hi,

The documentation presented on http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples is
a very good source of information but on some pages it doesn't give all the
data needed to have the example running.

Indeed, some example needs external files and they are not given in the web
documentation, for example :

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/mpl_with_glade.html
needs   "mpl_with_glade.glade"
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx3.html
needs   "../data/embedding_in_wx3.xrc"

I thing there should be some links on the web pages to download theses
files.
At least, it should be said in the docstring where to find them, don't you
think ?
