Re: [Matplotlib-users] Unknown projection '3d' even with svn version?

Dear Ben
thanks a lot for this thoughful answer.


When I use only "ipython" and not "ipython -pylab" IT WORKS!!!

So this is a problem with "ipython -pylab" call...
Any thought of why this is?

I provide more info below

thanks for any help there.

Eric

P.S.: Here is the output of my setup:

In [1]: matplotlib.__file__
Out[1]: '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.pyc'

In [6]: mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.__file__
Out[6]: '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/mplot3d/__init__.pyc'

A funny one is that I have to import mpl_toolkits first and then mplot3d, and
when I do this I get:
In [5]: from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d
try this

I am not sure the "try this" is meant to be there....


P.P.S.:
Here is my detailed setup when I do ipython -pylab

matplotlib data path /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
matplotlib version 1.0.0
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
units is False
platform is linux2
Your PyGtk has set_interactive(), so you can use the
more stable single-threaded Gtk mode.
