On Feb 25 Samuel Smith reported that WXAgg crashed on MacOS X using matplotlib 0.87. I just built matplotlib 0.87.7 on Python 2.5 and am still having the problem.
Christopher Barker suggested disabling acceleration: import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg._use_accelerator(False) and that does work, but I was wondering if a fix was known? Google only turned up the problem, not a solution. Regards, -- Russell P.S. here are the gory details: Configuration: - PowerBook G4 - MacOS X 10.4.7 - Python 2.5 (from the python main site) - wxPython 2.7.1.3 (from <http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html>) - numpy 1.0, numarray 1.5.1 and Numeric 24.2 (all from source) - matplotlib 0.87.7 (from source) TkAgg works fine, but WXAgg fails (using numarray or numeric as numerix) when I try to plot as follows: >>> from pylab import * >>> show() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wx.py", line 1048, in _onPaint self.draw(repaint=False) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wxagg.py", line 63, in draw self.bitmap = _convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(self.get_renderer(), None) MemoryError: _wxagg.convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(): could not create the wx.Bitmap Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wx.py", line 1193, in show figwin.canvas.draw() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-pac kages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wxagg.py", line 63, in draw self.bitmap = _convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(self.get_renderer(), None) MemoryError: _wxagg.convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(): could not create the wx.Bitmap ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
