Hi, i have nearly the same problem. I need to make plots in which the text, axea and labels are either in english, frensh, german, spanish or italian. I use wxPython and in the main-program it woks with the languages, but the plots have these little squares in the text if there has to be a umlaut or special chracter. The unicode demo works as long as the plot is not embedded in wxPython. With wxPython only "self.axes.set_ylabel( unicode('Andr\xc3\xa9 was here!', 'utf-8') )" is working. The other texts have some weird characters in it. Here is the code to check yourself:
# -*- coding: utf_8 -*- from wxPython.wx import * import gettext from pylab import * matplotlib.use('WXAgg') from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas from matplotlib.figure import Figure class GraphFrame(wxFrame): def __init__(self, parent, ID, title): wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, size=(650,450)) self.figure = Figure() self.axes = self.figure.add_subplot(111) self.axes.plot([1,2,4]) self.axes.set_title( unicode('Développés et fabriqués', 'latin-1') ) self.axes.set_xlabel( unicode("réactivité nous permettent d'être sélectionnés et adoptés", 'latin-1') ) self.axes.set_ylabel( unicode('Andr\xc3\xa9 was here!', 'utf-8') ) self.axes.text( 0.5, 2.5, unicode('Institut für Festkörperphysik', 'latin-1'), rotation=45) self.axes.text( 1, 1.5, u'AVA (check kerning)') self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure) self.sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL) self.sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wxLEFT | wxTOP | wxGROW) self.SetSizer(self.sizer) self.Fit() class MyApp(wxApp): def OnInit(self): # Install gettext. Once this is done, all strings enclosed in "_()" will automatically be translated. gettext.install('MyApp', './locale', unicode=True) # detect the user's default language setting loc = wxLocale userLang = loc.GetSystemLanguage() frame = GraphFrame(None, -1, _("Graph Frame")) self.SetTopWindow(frame) frame.CentreOnScreen() frame.Show(True) return True def main(): app = MyApp(0) app.MainLoop() if __name__ == '__main__': main() The problem is that i do not know all texts to be shown, as the name of the user should be written as title. I am using Windows XP, Python 2.3, wxPython 2.6.1.0 and Matplotlib 0.85 Thanks Till Wagner --- John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > >>>>> "marek" == marek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > marek> I need to make plots in which the axes > and text labels > marek> display in either English, Spanish, or > Portuguese. > > Does the unicode demo work for you? > > http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/unicode_demo.py > > JDH > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
