I'm quite new to python, but am attempting to add basic plotting functionality to a tk-based GUI application that is run primarily on a Mac. My initial attempts at simply calling "plot" or "errorbar" from within the application resulted in erratic behavior on Python installed through macports on my machine with OSX 10.5 (the plot appears, but the window is unresponsive), or no plot whatsoever (on a friend's Mac with OSX 10.6 and Python, Numpy, and Matplotlib installed through their "official" .dmg packages). All versions are current (Python 2.6.2, Matplotlib 0.99.1.1).
When looking at the matplotlib website, I attempted to run the following examples: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_tk.py http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_tk2.py ...but these fail on my machine (OSX 10.5): ---------- udp009069uds:fret_analysis jshine$ python embedding_in_tk.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "embedding_in_tk.py", line 6, in <module> from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2TkAgg File "/Users/jshine/Documents/root/matplotlib/lib/python/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 8, in <module> import tkagg # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension File "/Users/jshine/Documents/root/matplotlib/lib/python/matplotlib/backends/tkagg.py", line 1, in <module> import _tkagg ImportError: No module named _tkagg udp009069uds:fret_analysis jshine$ ---------- For those familiar with macports, I did install it with the "tkinter" option enabled: ---------- dp009069uds:fret_analysis jshine$ port info py26-matplotlib py26-matplotlib @0.99.1.1 (python, graphics, math) Variants: cairo, darwin_8, ghostscript, gtk2, latex, qt4, [+]tkinter, wxpython Description: Matplotlib is a pure python plotting library with the goal of making publication quality plots using a syntax familiar to matlab users. The library uses numpy for handling large data sets and supports a variety of output backends. This port provides variants for the different GUIs (gtk2, tkinter, wxpython). Homepage: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net Library Dependencies: python26, freetype, libpng, py26-dateutil, py26-tz, py26-numpy, py26-configobj, py26-pyobjc2, py26-pyobjc2-cocoa Platforms: darwin License: unknown Maintainers: r...@macports.org, openmaintai...@macports.org udp009069uds:fret_analysis jshine$ ---------- ...so at this point, I'm pretty much stuck -- my own application doesn't work, and I don't have a working example to follow. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers!
