Re: [Matplotlib-users] hist() memory leak?

hm, i was setting it after i imported pylab. You were right. I just now tried calling matplotlib.use("Agg") just before import pylab, and that did give me better results. wxAgg did start leaking memory very quickly, and ps,svg, and pdf were all holding constant - until i hit around loop number 44

Luke, Just to be sure: how are you selecting the backend? If you use the "matplotlib.use('Agg')" method, this must appear *before* importing pylab for the first time; it is something of a "gotcha" that if it appears after pylab has been imported it doesn't give you any clue that it is ineffect

I *am* able to see the same leak in 0.90.1 using Agg, Pdg, Ps, and Svg with the same memory amount being leaked each time, so its probably in matplotlib code, although I do not have the SVN sources to check it there to see if it has been fixed there. I was originally using the wxAgg backend, but

Sebastian, I am trying to move things in the direction of simpler and cleaner namespaces, but I think that to do it well requires a systematic approach to the continuing numpification of mpl, so I have been working on mlab.py before tackling pylab. I hope everything can be done via reorganiza

2007-08-09 Thread Michael Droettboom
There have been a number of memory leaks resolved since the 0.90.1 release. However, there are still known memory leaks in all of the GUI backends, some of which are unfortunately just beyond easy reach of matplotlib. If this is an automated process and you only care about the file output, yo

[Matplotlib-users] hist() memory leak?

2007-08-09 Thread Luke Robison
I'm writing a program that processes ~ 25,000 jobs and each iteration draws a histogram and writes out some of the output. I let it run all night and when I came back, python was filling up all my memory (2Gigs) and was thrashing on and off of swap. I narrowed the problem down to my calling of th

Hi, I've created a plot with the correct scale but I want to add more room at the bottom of the plot to add a title block with out effecting the size of the plot. Does anyone know how to do this? Regards, Jonathan School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Ashby Building Stranmilli
