Re: [Matplotlib-users] install on mac osx 10.7.5?

2014-02-18 Thread Gary Pajer
I've tried various ways of getting matplotlib on my OS X 10.7.5, and have
it work with numpy, etc.  The approach that worked most smoothly was using
the conda package manager from contiuum
analyticshttp://conda.pydata.org/docs/intro.html.
   At first I installed the complete anaconda
distributionhttps://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/which contains
almost everything I wanted, plus a lot of stuff I don't
need.  And everything worked, including matplotlib.  Since then I've
learned that conda works great installing things one at a time while taking
care of dependencies, so if all I want is matplotlib, I get that plus it
dependencies, and it works.  But if you want an easy, fast (but large)
solution, install Anaconda.   Conda has many other nice features that may
or may not be useful to you.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib conflicts with IDLE

2010-02-05 Thread Gary Pajer
On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 3:46 PM, David MacQuigg macqu...@ece.arizona.edu wrote:

 I can't get Matplotlib to work with IDLE.  plt.show() makes beutiful plots,
 but IDLE is hung.  Entering exit in the little pop-up console window
 raises an exception in IDLE, and then leaves the plot window hung. It looks
 like the old dualing event loops problem with IDLE, although the
 Matplotlib docs don't use that phrase.

 The way I ususally solve this is to use IDLE for editing my scripts, and a
 separate shell to actually run them.  Here, I'm not using a saved script.
 This needs to work interactively, for students using Python in a physics
 class.  I see that little console window, and it sure looks like that was
 intended to do what I need, but I can't find any documentation on the
 commands.  How do I switch back and forth between IDLE and the plot window
 without leaving some process in limbo?  Even better, is there an option to
 have the event loop automatically switch back to IDLE after each update?

 I'm running on Mac OS-X, so it looks like IPython is not an option.  Also, I
 would rather stick with IDLE.  It is the perfect IDE for non-CS students who
 shouldn't be spending their time on the complexities of a plotting package.


There's a different version of Idle called VIdle that is supposed to
fix certain problems. I haven't a clue if yours is one of them, but
you might try it.  It comes standard in VPython http://www.vpython.org
 ... I don't know if it's available separately.

 Good. Thanks. Interesting that ls and pwd are used for Win, but that's

Copy and paste from a Windows command shell is different that copy and paste
from *nix command shell.

Right-click in the command window
Choose Mark from the drop-down menu
Select the (rectangular) region of text you want to copy.
Hit Return.

That does a copy operation.  Then go to your other application, and paste
however you like.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 0.98.6svn Windows

 I hate to ask this question. Is there somewhere I can download the latest

 -Ryan

An option to consider:  run Linux in a virtual machine on a Windows
host.  I have a similar situation (unrelated to MPL) and that's what I
do.  Works great for me.   I've tried VMware, VirtualBox, and
AndLinux.  All work, but I alternate between VirtualBox (probably
because that's the one I tried first) and AndLinux.

VirtualBox  was *very easy* to set up, and it Just Works (ymmv).

AndLinux is an intriguing option; it's not a Linux emulator (if that's
the right word).  It runs a Linux kernel as a Windows process, so it
behaves as if it were a Windows app.  Similar apparent behavior is
available in VirtualBox; I think they call it seamless mode.
AndLinux is a little bit harder to set up than VirtualBox.  I did some
**very rough** speed checks. AndLinux seems to run numpy programs at
about 80% of native Windows speed.  VirtualBox is about 10% slower
than AndLinux.  (That was *one* test on *one* script.)  Networking
works fine in both.  I've compiled Sage, and ran a Sage notebook
webserver from both VirtualBox and AndLinux, accessing the server from
another machine.  Everything works.

 Hello,

 Thanks for the pointer Bryan. I also seen Gael's tutorial

 To me, it seems much easier to use Traits, instead of learning WX or QT.

It is.  I had spent hours learning Tk, Wx, and Qt looking for a
practical gui solution ... but then I found Traits and I haven't
looked back.

 They are still confusing to me, and seemingly Traits is there to help me
 implement what I have had in my mind for a while.

 You can integrate matplotlib plots into a Traits app. I wrote this
 recipe:

 http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/EmbeddingInTraitsGUI

 Both Chaco and Matplotlib are excellent. If you want multiple
 interactive elements in your plot (drag-able labels, cursors etc.),
 Chaco is probably the best bet. However, for quick data-exploration
 apps, I find matplotlib quicker to set up (it's defaults just work,
 whereas Chaco takes a bit more preparation).

 Either way, Traits is indispensable.
