[Matplotlib-users] figure.colorbar sometimes raises an exception
We have code that ran fine in 1.1.1 that raises an exception in colorbar
in 1.2.1 and 1.3.1. I have appended an example; I'm afraid it is rather
extreme, but we have seen this for arrays that have more than one
non-masked values as well, even with the values not all being equal.
Should I report this as a bug? Should we guard all our calls to colormap
with try/except, or perhaps there's a flag we can set that says do your
best? (But I don't see anything like that in the docs).

Thanks - that looks like a useful testing grid. Are there any near-term plans for something like a .dmg or .mpkg or .pkg installer? Building a binary installer with statically linked libraries is not terribly hard (see http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/BuildingMatplotlibForMac.htm l). There are two problem: - As of 1.3.0 mpl does not include python-dateutil, pytz or six (for good reasons) and that makes it harder to make a really usable binary installer. This interacts with the next problem: - For unknown reasons running the 1.3.0 installer breaks existing installations of python-dateutil if those packages were installed using an older mpl binary installer. The missing packages can be added to the binary installer after it is produced by bdist_mpkg by post-processing the mpkg. That would take care of the second issue for most users (who would use the default installation and get everything). I have not had time to deal with that. Thus I never uploaded an official binary installer for 1.3.0 and stopped providing them. Matthew Terry has taken over that task. I did put an unofficial binary installer for 1.3.0 here: http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/ just be prepared to reinstall python-dateutil after you use it. -- Russell -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

[Matplotlib-users] Mac binary installer for Python 3 delayed
It turns out I won't be able to make a Mac binary installer for matplotlib anytime soon. I use bdist_mpkg to make the Mac binary installers for MacOS X, and the current release of bdist_mpkg (4.4) is not compatible with Python 3. I don't know how to make binary installers without bdist_mpkg, though I'm sure it can be done. Also note that there are no numpy binary installers for MacOS X python 3. This *may* be due to the same issue.

Matplotlib seems to be particularly slowly updated in the Fedora repositories, for example, so I often find that a source installation is necessary. I know this isn't especially difficult for the experienced user, but surely using something like pip would make this process for accessible for all users of python packages, particularly those that do not receive much attention from the big distribution maintainers? Yet, pip doesn't get a mention on the installation documentation of matplotlib or many other python packs. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this matter. Unfortunately pip cannot install binaries, so any user that tried to install matplotlib using pip would have to have a C compiler. Unfortunately many users do not have a compiler on MacOS and Windows. In addition, matplotlib has some important dependencies that may not be available on all systems. MacOS now includes all necessary libraries. I don't think that is true for most flavors linux (though there is probably an easy way to get all missing packages). I have no idea about Windows. I agree pip should be mentioned, but I don't see it as a viable mainstream means of installing matplotlib. (Does it even work with matplotlib?

It is bdist_mpkg that makes these installers, and it could be better about checking compatibility. But that is a known issue. I don't know about messages about system python, though that vaguely rings a bell as a bdist_mpkg issue. I'll add information about numpy to the ReadMe for future binary installers.

It's not hard to build your own 64-bit matplotlib on 10.6 (and I assume the instructions are the same on 10.7, but perhaps not). The prerequisite libraries are already present. Just make sure you have the following installed: - XCode with gcc 4.2 as the default compiler (one way to change the default is using a pair of symlinks in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin -- one for gcc, one for g++) - Python.org's 64-bit python installed and preferably running as the default. Download and unpack the matplotlib source. Edit setupext.py and change the entry for darwin to include those two directories: /usr/X11 and /usr/lib. Then copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg and edit setup.cfg to enable the backends you want. Be sure to disable TkAgg because it won't build properly. Then build in the usual way: python setup.py build python setup.py install I personally don't think the matplotlib project should serve such a product unless and until somebody has time to deal with the Tk linking issues, which apparently require editing some resulting libraries (more than I want to attempt).

[Matplotlib-users] Problem building 64-bit matplotlib for MacOS X 10.6
I was hoping to build a matplotlib binary installer for python.org's 64-bit Python (MacOS X 10.6 and later). But I've run into problems that make me think python.org's python is not fully compatible with ActiveState Tcl/Tk. Here's what I have: MacOS X 10.6.8 Python: python-2.7.2-macosx10.6.dmg Tcl/TK: ActiveTcl8.5.10.1.295062-macosx10.5-i386-x86_64-threaded.dmg XCode 3.2.6 matplotlib 1.1.0 I edited setupext.py in the matplotlib source directory to set darwin to: 'darwin' : ['/usr', '/usr/X11'], The idea was to use only Apple's own libraries for the dependencies. I did not install wxPython because, as I understand it, there is no 64-bit version. matplotlib seems to build OK (see appended log) though there are disturbing messages such as these: i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: -framework: linker input file unused because linking not done i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: Tcl: linker input file unused because linking not done I can import and run Tkinter, though I've not done anything beyond putting up a root window. But when I try to import pylab I get: objc[1083]: Class TKApplication is implemented in both /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk.

[Matplotlib-users] Legend for stacked histogram?
I am trying to make a legend for a stacked histogram using matplotlib
1.0.1 and it's not working.
Here's what I've tried so far:
count, bins, ignored = pyplot.hist(
(matchedStarPsfMags, unmatchedRefStarPsfMags,
unmatchedSourcePsfMags),
bins=30, histtype='barstacked', normed=True)
pyplot.legend((matched stars, unmatched stars, \
false detections), loc='upper left')
This produces a nice stacked histogram with red, green and blue.
Unfortunately the legend is blue for all three entries, so the legend is
useless!
I figured I could label the data instead. The documentation for hist
says:
label:
String, or sequence of strings to match multiple datasets. Bar charts
yield multiple patches per dataset, but only the first gets the label,
so that the legend command will work as expected:
That last sentence sounded really ominous in this context, but I figured
I would try it anyway. Unfortunately this code fails:
count, bins, ignored = pyplot.hist(
(matchedStarPsfMags, unmatchedRefStarPsfMags,
unmatchedSourcePsfMags),
label = (matched stars, unmatched stars,
false detections),
bins=30, histtype='barstacked', normed=True)

Oops. I was able to answer my own question.
It turns out I was using an ancient version of matplotlib (0.98.5.2) (I
was using a remote server and forgot to check).
The second version does work with matplotlib 1.0.1 and produces a nice
legend with the correct color for each entry. Yaay!
The first version produces a useless legend with all colors the same on
both modern matplotlib and the ancient matplotlib. So use the second
method of specifying label=(...) in the hist command.

I attempted to build a binary installer for Python 2.5.x but ran into problems: Mac binaries for Python 2.5 aren't compatible with 3rd party versions of Tk, which causes a mess for matplotlib. There are workarounds, but given the state of Mac python 2.5 I'm not sure it's worth the bother.

correct use of it, but perhaps I'm missing something...
autoscale_view somewhat defeats the purpose of line.set_data, which is
intentionally minimalist. If you want autoscaling after update, but
don't want to simply clear and plot, then you need to explicitly update
the Axes.dataLim. You can do this using Axes.relim()
prior to calling autoscale_view().
Thank you. That is exactly what I needed.
It looks like Axes.get_ybound() will return the min and max displayed y
so whenever I add a point I can test if it is within those bounds;
if it is not then I can call relim(). That should preserve the
efficiency most of the time while still allowing autoscaling
and avoiding my having to keep accurate track of what's going on.

One possibility is to offer a mode whereby the font size for the annotations is fixed. It is then much easier to figure out how large a particular annotation must be before laying out the graph. That ought to make it much easier to leave enough room for axis labels and such. Ideally in this mode the automatic layout would be improved so that axis labels were always visible.

[Matplotlib-users] autoscale when adding data to a Line2D?
I'm implementing a strip chart class by setting the data in a Line2D (well, one or more Line2D instances tied to one or more Subplots). However, I find that when I do this I can't get the y axis to autoscale, even if I create the Line2Ds with animate=False. Am I overlooking something really basic? If not, any suggestions? Perhaps I should keep track of the y limits myself. That saves time when adding a new data point because I can compare it to cached limits (instead of scanning the whole data set). But it quickly gets messy if one handles nan correctly and matplotlib already does this so I was thinking matplotlib must have API code to help with this.

However, it earlier claims: As of matplotlib-0.87, GTKAgg, TkAgg, WXAgg, and FLTKAgg support the methods discussed here. If the first two quotes are needlessly restrictive then it would help to list the supported backends once and refer back to that if necessary. These are minor complains. Having found this page it looks pretty straightforward to do what I want (especially since my data rate is slow enough that I can skip the fancy bit blitting).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib on mac os x question
A few things:
- What python and matplotlib are you using? I recommend Mac Python from
python.org (use the binary installer) and the Mac binary installer for
matplotlib.
- Note that matplotlib 0.99.0 is current. I suggest you upgrade.
- If you are using TkAgg (as seems likely), I'm not sure how well it
plays with IDLE. I suggest you try the same example from the command
line (Terminal application).
- What is your default backend? The normal Mac binary matplotlib uses
TkAgg, which is a good choice in this case. But if you build from source
the default is Agg, which is probably not what you want. You can set the
default explicitly by editing .matplotlib/matplotlibrc (which has
probably appeared now that you've run matplotlib once).
Here's a slightly shorter example (I confess I'm not familiar with
matplotlib.pyplot so I hope this is not deprecated):

Re: [Matplotlib-users] _tkinter problem
Your python is missing the _tkinter library, so it cannot use Tkinter. Normally if you build from source then all you have to do is build and install tcl and tk first, then build python and it should find the tcl/tk and build _tkinter (the library that links to Tcl/Tk and allows Tkinter to work). If you installed from an RPM or some such then perhaps you need to get some additional RPMs. If you have additional questions about installing python with Tkinter support I suggest you post to the python-tkinter mailing list (gmane.comp.python.tkinter on gmane). -- Russell In article 7483f0868d484ae6a0a7ddb5bfbfd...@newhome, Paul Simon psi...@sonic.net wrote: I have the tkinter problem and need some assistance to straighten it out.

It would be better if matplotlib just ran out of the box. I'm not sure the best way to do this. Some possibilities are: - Include numpy in the matplotlib package and have the default matplotlibrc file use that. One would have to be careful about how to handle an existing numpy (if any), and I really don't know how to do that. Naive users would probably appreciate matplotlib using its own version and ignoring any built in (and possibly incompatible) version, but that sounds like a nightmare for more experienced users. - Run a post-install script that modifies the default matploblibrc file by looking for installed numeric packages and picking one as the default for numerix. It could warn the user if no compatible numeric package was found. This is clearly less friendly than the first option, but doesn't bring up the issue of conflicting with a user-installed numpy. - Some combination whereby a post-install script installs numpy 1.0 if no numpy is found and bitches loudly if a too-old version is found.

[Matplotlib-users] How to build matplotlib with wx support
I build matplotlib 0.87.7 for Python 2.5 with support for TkAgg and WXAgg, the latter using the binary wxPython 2.7 installer from http://pythonmac.org/packages. Unfortunately, the matplotlib had a problem: WxAgg failed with: MemoryError: _wxagg.convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(): could not create the wx.Bitmap Disaabling acceleration as follows seems to work around the problem, but I don't know how complete a fix it is: import matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg._use_accelerator(False) Christopher Barker was immensely helpful in explaining what was wrong. There are two issues: 1) The wxPython installer is finding the wrong wx-config. It finds the one for the outdated built-in wx instead of the one used by wxPython (which is deeply buried and very unlikely to be on your $PATH). 2) There are bugs in the particular wxPython 2.7 I was using that prevent building matplotlib. Note that 2.7.x is, by definition, a development branch; the next stable release series will be 2.8.x. So the recipe that works is: - Install wxPython 2.6.x (preferably the unicode version) from http://www.wxpython.org/download-2.6.3.3.php#binaries or perhaps soon from: http://pythonmac.org/packages/ - Put its wx-config on your path. I did this as follows: sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.6.3.3/lib/wx/config/mac-unicode-debug-2.6 I suggest removing the link when finished since it won't be updated if you ever update wxPython. (Note: I found the correct file by looking for wx-config using File Buddy). - Install one or more numeric of numpy, numarray and/or Numeric Binary installers are available at http://pythonmac.org/packages/ - Build matplotlib as usual. -- Russell - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Some of my code uses Numeric (due to high speed on short arrays) and some uses numarray (because I started using it for all new code when it looked like it would take over). Then this could be it. In general, they should co-exist just fine, but do know someone else has weird crashing problems when they were mixed with MPL (and GDAL, in his case). Both numpy and Numeric, and numarray have a lot of extension code that shares names, etc. who knows what problem that can cause? I hope to switch to numpy for everything once the dust settles, good plan, and it's getting close. The API should be stable now. The sooner the better, I think. You'll be a lot more help with bugs or potential bugs like this one. I look forward to the unification, but unfortunately I don't think it will help with this crash (unless the very fact that the numarray and/or Numeric are installed but not loaded can cause problems). I see the crash even with this trivial script: $ python from pylab import * plot([1,2,3,4]) show() boom! matplotlib 0.87.5 crashes with ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc set to use numarray (1.5.1), Numeric or numpy (1.0b5). I don't have wx or gtk installed, so no easy way to test those backends. if you install the mpkg on pythonmac.org/packages, wx should work. that's pretty easy. Fair enough. I installed wxPython (2.6) and the above scripts works fine (as long as interactive is false). It does not crash with plain old Agg (but of course I don't see any plot). Does it save a png successfully? I can try this if you think it will help. It appears to be a lot more work than just slapping up a plot using pylab so I've not tried it yet. I also failed to build matplotlib from source. I had all the prerequisites in /usr/local (and I reinstalled freetype 2.2.1 to be sure, since the version shown in /usr/local/lib has no resemblance to the source version). During the build I see these warnings (but no errors): /usr/bin/ld: for architecture i386 /usr/bin/ld: warning /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib cputype (18, architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7) for specified -arch flag: i386 (file not loaded) and after installation, importation of pylab fails as follows: from pylab import * Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ?

[Matplotlib-users] crash on MacOS X
I'm trying to figure out a matplotlib crash on MacOS X. When I try to plot anything the program exits with: alloc: invalid block: 0xa08acb4: a 74 0 I first saw this with a program that uses the object interface, but then I tried the simplest pylab demo I could find and the same thing happened. Setup: - matplotlib installed from the universal package at pythonmac.org configured to use numarray (1.5.1) and the TkAgg back end - MacOS X 10.4.3 on a PPC mac - ActiveState Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.4.13 - seen with two different versions of python: - ActiveState python 2.4.3 (PPC-only) - universal Python 2.4.3 (with _tkinter.so modified to find my Tcl/Tk) Any ideas? -- Russell - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
