1. an ipython session is invoked with qtconsole --pylab
2. I load a large NetCDF grid (Grid file format: nf (# 18) GMT netCDF format
(float) (COARDS-compliant) [DEFAULT]), approx. 1.15 GB
3. I then try to plot with imshow the data
added below are the lines leading up to the error and the error itself.
This is running on OS X 10.7.4 with a recently installed EPD 7.3.
{code}
from scipy.io import netcdf_file as netcdf
data = netcdf('srtm_43_44_05_06_07_08.grd','r').variables['z'][::-1]
fig, ax = subplots()
data.shape
Out[5]: (24004, 12002)
im = ax.imshow(data, aspect=((data.shape[1])/float(data.shape[0])),
