2008-11-24 Thread Zane Selvans
Yesterday I compiled Matplotlib from SVN, and installed it to run on top of the dependencies that I have installed from the SciPy Superpack for OS X from Chris Fonnesbeck. Nearly everything seems to be working fine. However, there are a couple of glitches, and I can't tell whether it's

[Matplotlib-users] vlines animation problem

2008-11-24 Thread McBuell
hi folks ! I'm working now quite a while with the matplotlib, also in the animated case of plot_date and imshow charts. Now I should use a vertical line (fixed to a plot_date plot, not to the axis!) and I thought about using vlines as before. But I have troubles to use the set_array method

Strange, strange. iPython is apparently having some effect here: I tried ipython -pylab animation.py and I got a figure with the initial plot, but nothing further happened. After closing the plot, I typed run animation.py at the ipython prompt, and saw the initial plot, erasure, and animation that

We have two modes to render latex -- one is native TeX layout and uses latex and dvipng, and is superior if you need all of TeX's capabilities (eg an eqnarray), but the fonts are suboptimal. The other is mathtext, which will cover 98% of most users' math needs, does not require a latex install
