But .... I wasn't suggesting explicit configuration by the user. At build time, mpl looks for a functioning backend in setup.py and if it fails to find one, sets Agg and creates the default matplotlibrc from matplotlibrc.template. In the case where a no GUI was detected, the build script could also set a rc warn-on-show flag. The ubuntu packager, who probably built mpl in an environment with no X11 and got no functioning GUI, would get a rc file with backend Agg and the warn-on-show flag set. But I think we can leave things as they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
