Today I setuped a ubuntu virtual machine, installed matplotlib 1.3.1
(builded and installed from source), installed ImageMagick via 'apt-get',
and tried again that sample.
It worked.

So Does the imagemagick writer not work on Windows, or am I missing
something in my Win7 ?

Can anybody help ?
Thank you.
