Re: [Matplotlib-users] Fail to allocate bitmap, Unable to free colormap, palette is still selected.

hi Mike,
I was able to get it to work using:
reload(matplotlib)
matplotlib.use('Agg')
That suggests that the bug is somehow related to GUI code. As John
pointed out, we'll want to very exactly which GUI backend is being used.
I'll have to beat on it some more to see if this is robust.
I saw the error message in this code:
http://search.cpan.org/src/NI-S/Tk-804.027/pTk/mTk/win/tkWinDraw.c
if(!bitmap) {
panic(Fail to allocate bitmap\n);
DeleteDC(dcMem);
TkWinReleaseDrawableDC(d, dc, state);
return;
}
That seems to suggest that the TkAgg backend (or Tkinter itself) is
somehow the problem, assuming Gtk doesn't issue the same message (unlikely).
Thanks. Please let us know what other clues you can collect.
Cheers,
Mike

I don't see the string Fail to allocate bitmap or Unable to free
colormap... anywhere in the matplotlib source, so it's hard to say
where it's coming from. I suspect they are coming from the GUI
framework you are using...
If you put your simple example inside of a loop, does the error
eventually occur -- or only within the context of your app? If the
latter, we'll need to somehow narrow it down to a specific setting or
method that causes the problem.
Also, what backend are you using when it breaks? Just Agg, or one of
the Gui+Agg backends?
Cheers,
Mike

The code is simple:
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as pylab
pylabFigure = pylab.figure()
pylabFigure.clf()
pylab.rcdefaults()
pylab.plot(p[0::2], p[1::2], 'b-', linewidth=3)
pylab.title('Endpointing Plot for '+StepMillName)
pylab.xlabel('Mill Distance ('+m_unit+')')
pylab.ylabel('~ Electron response ~' )
pylab.grid(True)
pylabFigure.savefig('EPP_'+StepMillName+'.png',
facecolor='lightgrey', edgecolor='w')
pylab.close('all')
pylabFigure = None
I can put this code in a simple program and generate many images
without seeing the allocate bitmap error.
Perhaps it is colliding with something else in my main app. Is there
a command that can clear, flush, or unselect the palette and/or
colormap?
I don't see the allocate error if I switch the backend to 'SVG', that
has it own set of issues though: telling me it can't use, but then
generating SVG files anyway.
thanks

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Fail to allocate bitmap, Unable to free colormap, palette is still selected.
hi Mike,
It only prints what is between the , - . I tend to think it is
related to Tkinter.
I'm using the default GTKAgg.
I have generated over 1500 images using the simple example with no
issue. When it is in the larger app, it fails on the 2nd or 3rd request.
I'm trying
reload(matplotlib)
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
Are there some python flags I can use when running the script to get
more verbose output? I've used -v and -d and get the cleanup list, is
that useful?
thanks

There seems to be some deep confusion here. You say you are using the
default GTKAgg, but then try reload (suggesting an interactive
session) and then call matplotlib.use('TkAgg') (which is never
appropriate when using TkAgg. Pleas explain to us a little more
clearly what you are trying to do: are you embedding matplotlib in a
UI, if so which on? Are you using it interactively from the python
shell (if so, which one?)
Note that if you are trying to build an app, as you suggest, ie embed
matplotlib in a GUI, you should not be using pylab at all. You should
follow the lead of examples/embedding_in_YOURGUI*.py , eg those at
http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples
