Hi,

just to tell that the new quiver2 sample are not working with numarray. 

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/quiver.py", line 237, in 
_make_verts
    scale = nx.amax(a) * math.sqrt(len(a)) # crude auto-scaling
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'amax'


I think that we will have soon a big problem with the scientific soft in 
python. Some of them will use numpy, Numeric or numarray and they will be 
totally incompatible. Theorically numpy was to do the reunification but a 
transition period must exist. The module Numerix was doing it for matplotlib 
but it's beginning to have more and more incompatibility. 
The quiver problem is not the only one. I used a lot the griddata module to 
interpolate some irregulary spaced data, it was working very fine but it's 
not working with numpy and I don't have the skill to change it unfortunatly.

I want to thank you for all the work done for matplotlib, the critics are only 
to avoid people to be distressed because one day all their softs won't work 
due to numpy/numarray/Numeric incompatibility and stop to use python.

Regards,

N.
