[Matplotlib-users] hatching problem

2010-02-09 Thread Tomasz Koziara
Dear Users/Developers I just installed version 0.99.1.1 since in my previous version (0.98) I had problems with hatching. It seems though that the same problems persist in the current version. The attached files reproduce the problem (a data file and a python short script). Note that

I cannot reproduce it with Agg backend and ps backend. I tried both svn version and 0.99 maint. version. So, maybe this is a bug in mac os X backend? Do you see a same problem with the ps output? If so, can you post your ouput ps file? Regards, -JJ On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Tomasz

I see. But why would I need to set the figure manually when I am drawing with a figure? Is it ever the case where you set one figure, but draw with another? For example: textartist.set_figure(fig1) fig2.draw_artist(textartist) Also, other atists don't fail in this manner if I don't use

Maybe instead of plot.show() you should do something like: plot.draw() raw_input('Press ENTER to exit') Personally, I also use IDLE on Windows XP to edit my matplotlib files. However, I never execute in IDLE. I simply double click the file in windows explorer. -Ben -Original

HI all, I've been using matplotlip for a while now but mainly for line plots, scatter plots and the odd dendrogram. I recently tried plotting a histogram (of a binomial function) and encountered a problem. So I though I'd try the extremely simple example set on the front of the matplotlib

Copying a matplotlib canvas (or a figure, or an axes) is not easy. You cannot just rebind it. You need to copy all the hierarchy of underlying artists. Also the attributes of artists need to be adjusted accordingly. And best option in my opinion is just to create another canvas using the code that

Change the last line to pylab.show() and it should work. Anyway, this example should not crash the interpreter. I can reproduce the crash on Python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 (32 and 64 bit) on Windows with mpl 0.99.1 but not on Ubuntu 9.1 with mpl 0.99.0. The shortest example that crashes is: python -c

I can now reproduce this. It seems the same old problem that PythonWin can not reliably run matplotlib because successive runs of the script use the same interpreter. Ipython should work. Append pylab.close() to your script; at least it will not crash on the second run. -- Christoph On 2/9/2010
