Hello all,
I am a relatively new user of matplotlib but have come a long way in
these last couple months. I developed some Python graph scripts on my
Windows machine, which reports matplotlib version 0.98.5.2 (installed
via Python(x,y)). These scripts write either .png or .pdf files,
depending on how called; and they work fine in this environment.
Now that my scripts are suitable for running unattended, I've asked a
Linux system administrator to install matplotlib on a Linux cluster
which I use for my main application, and he did so from source. The
version that is reported is 0.98.5.3.
When I run the script in the Linux environment, png files are written as
intended, with no errors, but attempting to create pdf graphs generates
the following error for the first occurrence of savefig:
-------------------
[ac.jkere...@l01 pygraph]$ ./run_pygraph.py pdf

Traceback (most recent call last):

---------------------
The expression "MaxVCRatios"+OutputImageType resolves to the string
"MaxVCRatios.pdf" (confirmed by the second output line of the script,
which was printed for testing purposes). I played with providing or
omitting the format="pdf" parameter and it made no difference. I've also
searched for others with a similar issue and found none so I'm posting
to this list to see if anyone can help. I need to know if this is a
problem with my script, or if it's something the system administrator
needs to fix. Let me know if there's any additional information you
would like me to provide.
Thanks,
John K.
