Yesterday I compiled Matplotlib from SVN, and installed it to run on
top of the dependencies that I have installed from the SciPy Superpack
for OS X from Chris Fonnesbeck. Nearly everything seems to be working
fine. However, there are a couple of glitches, and I can't tell
whether it's because of something being out of sync between all my
installed bits, or whether it's just the fact that I'm using the SVN
code.
The first thing I noticed is that all of the LaTeX symbols I have in
my plots are now messed up. I could see this being a font issue...
does anyone know how/where Matplotlib gets pointed at the LaTeX
fonts? And how I would check to see where it's looking, or whether
it's not finding what it's looking for? I'm not getting any errors -
my greek letters just cease to be greek, and various text decorations
(like \bar{D}) come out as other things altogether (like D, only with
an Angstrom symbol over it...).
The second thing is that in a figure in which I'm using twinx() to
create a separate y-axis using the same x-axis, I no longer seem to be
able to control the limits of the new axes. They just automatically
re-scale to fit whatever data is being plotted, regardless of whether
I use ax.set_ylim().
Third, and this was a problem before I did the re-compile, and it
remains so, often (but not always) my figures refuse to draw
completely, until I've re-sized the window in which they're being
displayed. This happens even when I do a figure.show() at the end of
the script. Some of the lines will draw, but not all of them. Is
this a familiar problem?
Thanks for any suggestions...
Zane
