Hi Jon, To clarify, I think you need to read Christoph Gohlke original message (7/7/2009) to me to put my response into context: > Hi Steve, > > matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6.exe was compiled without support for GTK. > > If you don't mind trying, I have a build of the matplotlib trunk > available on my homepage that has GTK support enabled: > > http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/#pythonlibs > > It should work with the PyGTK 2.12 Windows binaries from > http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html. > > SVG support seems broken: the window.set_icon_from_file() function in > backend_gtk.py will raise an exception, not recognizing SVG files.

From that web page I downloaded http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/download/matplotlib-0.98.6svn.win32-py2.6.exe NOTICE the version number 0.98.6svn Then in my code I have the following lines: from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK as FigureCanvas from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import NavigationToolbar2GTK as NavigationToolbar For your benefit I changed to the same backend as yours ( GTKAgg backend ) and run again My application ran successfully with both the GTKAgg and GTKCario backends. Why don't you take the svn version for a spin, you might also have success. Hope this has been of some help Steve Jon Roadley-Battin wrote: > Question is however, are you using the GTK backend? > ie > > from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import FigureCanvasGTKAgg as > FigureCanvas > from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import > NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg as NavigationToolbar > > backend_gtkagg then imports matplotlib.backends._gtkagg > For matplotlib-0.98.5.2.win32-py2.5.exe > C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\_gtkagg.pyd exists > > For matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6.exe > C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\_gtkagg.pyd doesn't > > ie gtk backend doesn't seem to be compiled. > matplotlib is the only thing holding me back in moving to python26 (on > windows).
