$%$^&#!!! My sincere apologies, gmail sent before I was ready. To continue: GtkCairo: looks great, crashes ipython on resize.
Wx: color issues, not stable. Qt: installs from fink, but won't load. In any case, it's not the Gtk/Qt/Wx problems that are important, it's the OSX backend issue. Others whom I work with do not have this issue, but installed using EPD. Has anyone else experienced such problems? Thanks for your help; let me know if there's more info I can provide. -dw On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 12:47 PM, Daniel Welling <dantwell...@gmail.com>wrote: > Greetings. > > I did quite a bit of digging on this and cannot find similar problems, but > if I did miss an earlier discussion, then I apologize. > > In any case, I have been having royal problems with GUI backends and > matplotlib. > Some background on where I've been having these problems: > Machine 1: OSX 10.5.8 G5 PPC > Machine 2: OSX 10.5.7 Macbook pro/Intel > Code versions: python 2.5.4, Numpy 1.3.0, Scipy 0.7.0 (all obtained through > fink.) > MPL versions: 99.0.1 and 99.1.1 (Older obtained through fink, newer > installed from source.) > > Here are the issues; behavior is consistent on both machines: > > MacOSX backend: Loads plots quickly, but when I try to save, I cannot type > in the file name area of the save file dialog.
