Hi Nathanael, Are you sure that you've actually installed the Matplotlib package for Python? You don't mention it in your e-mail. What happens when you type: import matplotlib at the Python prompt (i.e. in Ipython)? You can download a windows installer from http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

Hello matplotlib-users, I've just managed to get numpy, scipy, ipython and matplotlib running under ActivePython 2.5 on my Intel Mac. But I'd like matplotlib to use just X11, and not the Aqua-wrapped thing with the rocket icon (app name "Python"): I want to be able to ssh -X into my mac, ru
