Thanks! First of all thanks a lot for your (Mike and Ken) suggestions. I will try it later that day. I'm quite sure I did not create a setup.cfg file before this error message occured the first time. I deleted my setup.cfg and the error message seems quite similar (it is attached). thanks again for your help, best regards Matthias $ python setup.py build BUILDING MATPLOTLIB matplotlib: 0.98pre python: 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 20:11:18) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] platform: linux2 REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES numpy: 1.0.4 freetype2: 9.10.3 OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: 1.2.15beta5 Tkinter: Tkinter: 39220, Tk: 8.4, Tcl: 8.4 wxPython: 2.6.3.2 * Could not find wxPython headers in any of * '/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6', * '/usr/include/wx-2.6' Gtk+: gtk+: 2.8.20, glib: 2.12.4, pygtk: 2.8.6, pygobject: [pre-pygobject] Qt: Qt: 3.3.6, PyQt: 3.16 Qt4: no Cairo: 1.2.0 OPTIONAL DATE/TIMEZONE DEPENDENCIES datetime: present, version unknown dateutil: present, version unknown pytz: 2006p OPTIONAL USETEX DEPENDENCIES dvipng: 1.9 ghostscript: 8.15.3 latex: 3.141592 pdftops: 3.01 EXPERIMENTAL CONFIG PACKAGE DEPENDENCIES configobj: matplotlib will provide enthought.traits: matplotlib will provide [Edit setup.cfg to suppress the above messages] running build running build_py copying lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/matplotlib/mpl-data copying lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/matplotlib/mpl-data running build_ext building 'matplotlib.backends._wxagg' extension C compiler: gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC compile options: '-DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/numpy/core/include -Isrc -Iagg24/include -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.6 -I/usr/include/wx-2.6 -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c' gcc: src/_wxagg.cpp cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++ In file included from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:8, from ./CXX/WrapPython.h:47, from ./CXX/Extensions.hxx:48, from src/_backend_agg.h:8, from src/_wxagg.cpp:48: /usr/include/python2.4/pyconfig.h:851:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined In file included from /usr/include/string.h:26, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/cstring:52, from src/_wxagg.cpp:38: /usr/include/features.h:150:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition src/_wxagg.cpp:55:34: error: wx/wxPython/wxPython.h: No such file or directory src/_wxagg.cpp: In member function 'Py::Object _wxagg_module::convert_agg_to_wx_image(const Py::Tuple&)': src/_wxagg.cpp:103: error: 'wxPyConstructObject' was not declared in this scope src/_wxagg.cpp: In member function 'Py::Object _wxagg_module::convert_agg_to_wx_bitmap(const Py::Tuple&)': src/_wxagg.cpp:125: error: 'wxPyConstructObject' was not declared in this scope src/_wxagg.cpp: In function 'void init_wxagg()': src/_wxagg.cpp:253: error: 'wxPyCoreAPI_IMPORT' was not declared in this scope /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/numpy/core/include/numpy/_

Re: [Matplotlib-users] build matplotlib including backend wxPython
Just another note: If you can use wxPython 2.8.*, then this problem should go away. 2.8 added some methods that allow more directly moving bitmaps from Agg to wxPython, eliminating the need for any extension code. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R(206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I have never used mpl under cygwin in windows, but it might help to make sure your parameters and config files are as you expect. For example, in interactive mode, you should not need to call show to get the figure to appear. Please report the output of a test script in the same environment with the --verbose-helpful flag > python test.py --verbose-helpful where test.py is something like: from pylab import plot, show plot([1,2,3]) show() this should echo your backedn and interactive settings, as well as the matplotlibrc file location.

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib.toolkits.basemap. Basemap overlays?
Hello users, I'm using matplotlib.toolkits.basemap.Basemap to plot data on several types of projections at a regular cadence. I am presently regenerating the maps each time new data is to be plotted. Is it possible to generate template map projections once (at startup) and reuse them each time new data is to be plotted? If so, could someone point to a reference or example of how to do this?

Jim: You can reuse a Basemap instance to plot data on multiple figures,
like this
# create the first figure
fig = pylab.figure()
# create a Basemap instance for your map projection
map = Basemap(...)
# plot some stuff on this map projection.
map.contour(...)
... some other plotting commands ...
# save the figure
pylab.savefig('plot1.png')
# create another figure
fig = pylab.figure()
# use the same basemap instance to different data on this map projection
map.contour(...)
... more plotting commands...
# save the second figure
pylab.savefig('plot2.png')
You can also save the Basemap instance to disk using the Pickle module
and reload it in another script.

You could try to pickle the basemap instance, that should save you some initialization time. Then, it's just a matter of replotting. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Thanks for the detailed explanation; I may be starting to understand the
significance of *figure*.
I was hoping to avoid repeated calls like map.drawcoastlines(),
map.drawcountries(), map.fillcontinents(color='0.95'),
map.drawmapboundary(), map.drawmeridians(plot.arange(0,360,30)), and
map.drawparallels(plot.arange(-90,90,30)). So, I will follow your
example and experiment to see what works and what does not to better
understand the behaviors.

[Matplotlib-users] plot order
Ok, I've spent a while searching through the mailing list archives and I can't find an answer for this relatively simple problem. I've plotted a series of contourf and contour plots on the same axes. First I plot a contourf. Next a contour on top of it. Then I want a contourf plotted on top of both the previous contourf and contour plots. And finally, a contour on top of the second contourf. However, when I do this the result is the two contour plots are drawn on top of the contourf plots no matter what. How do I hide the contours under a contourf?

How do I hide the contours > under a contourf? zorder. It won't really matter what order you plot, as long as you set the zorder of the objects to the order you want. However, there is no set_zorder for the whole contour, rather just for each element in the collection. Observe: pc = contour(random.rand(10,10)) pcf = contourf(random.rand(10,10), cmap=cm.gray) # now the contours are on top for l in pc.collections: l.set_zorder(-100) draw() # now the contours are on the bottom I guess the advantage is that you could pick and choose which contours to expose: for l in pcf.collections[::2]: l.set_zorder(-1000) draw() # woven contours and contourfs... -Rob Rob Hetland, Associate Professor Dept. of Oceanography, Texas A&M University http://pong.tamu.edu/~rob phone: 979-458-0096, fax: 979-845-6331 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
