Hi, I am trying to make plots by using matplotlib.pyplot (within a Python script) to be used in a web site (apache, and PHP). I am using Ubuntu 12.04.3. The script works fine when run from the command line (it is able to generate the image with "savefig"), but when the script doesn't work when run from PHP under an apache request. I have found a similar problem in this post: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/savefig-fails-under-apache-on-solaris-td15122.html
Finally, I have found the solution in this web: http://texnological.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/how-to-execute-python-matplolib-pylab.html The solution consists on importing matplotlib in this way: # To import pylab os.environ[ 'MPLCONFIGDIR' ] = '/tmp/' import matplotlib matplotlib.use('agg') import pylab This works for me, but I don't know whether this is a bug and it has to be reported anywhere. The best option should be to import it in a regular way (such as import matplotlib.pyplot as plt), and this can be confusing for a lot of people. Well, let me know. Thank you. Best regards, Jilguero. -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/images-for-web-sites-tp42581.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
