Re: [Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN
You didn't mention which compiler you were trying to use. It looks like it can't find the Microsoft compiler. If you have it installed, perhaps it's installed in a non-standard location...? It should be theoretically possible to use the free Microsoft compiler, but I have no experience with that. I have used the Mingw32 compiler included with Cygwin to build matplotlib recently with success. There is also a version of Mingw32 that is not part of Cygwin. To use one of these compilers, you need to explicitly tell distutils (the system used to build matplotlib) to use it, using -c mingw32.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN
The error message states that you must be using VS2003. Python is compiled with this, so all extensions must also be compiled with it. If you don't have a copy of VS2003 your best bet is to just use cygwin/mingw. - Charlie On 9/25/07, Michael Droettboom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You didn't mention which compiler you were trying to use.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] latex labels on saved plots
usetex=true IS supported for eps. I use epstopdf to get pdf's from there.

Do you have ghostscript installed? If you set verbose.level to debug or

I realized that the ghostscript path wasn't set up properly, so that was
what was causing part of the problem with EPS files. It works sometimes
now (sometimes the EPS is just a blank file, even though the plot shows
up properly when I do pylab.show(). I'm still trying to narrow down
what ameks the difference here).
I guess I mean TeX-like mathtext format parsed by matplotlib. For
example, I'm using things like this:
rc('text', usetex=True)
Plotting.xlabel(r'\textbf{Time (s)}', fontsize=16)
usetex=True means that you are trying to use an external TeX program.
Ok, so am I to understand that usetex=True is not supported for PDF/EPS
output? Can you explain what the Tex-like mathtext format parsed by
matplotlib is?
Thank you for your assistance,
