[Matplotlib-users] Missing undocumented Matplotlib prerequisites on Windows (?)

2007-08-27 Thread Matt Fago
Matplotlib on Windows installed via the latest binary for Python 2.4 (matplotlib-0.90.1.win32-py2.4.exe) complains about not finding the Microsoft C runtime (MSVCP71.dll). Reading the microsoft documentation about this DLL it seems that matplotlib should be including it in the binary package

[Matplotlib-users] Consistent cross-platform plotting

[Matplotlib-users] setting font size for figure elements

2007-08-27 Thread Robert Cimrman
Hi mpl'ers, I have noticed that I keep setting the font size of the figure elements (axes labels, tick labels, title) so often that it would deserve a function, or better an Axes method to do the same. I am aware of the matplotlibrc settings, but I need something to play with after a figure is dra
