Dear matplotlibbers, I am currently trying to convince matplotlib using LaTeX for text processing. Unfortunately, it seems to hang up at some point in the minimal example script from the user's guide (also posted below) without throwing any warning or error. As I am new to python and matplotlib, I am not able to track down the problem.
My OS is Windows 7 (Professional), 64bit, using MikTeX and GPL Ghostscript (all in my PATH), following is an example cmd.exe session: C:\somewhere>python --version Python 2.6.4 c:\somewhere> tex --version && latex --version && pdftex --version && pdflatex --version MiKTeX-TeX 2.8.3489 (3.1415926) (MiKTeX 2.8) Copyright (C) 1982 by D.
