Re: [Matplotlib-users] Cygwin and matplotlib

Would anyone be so kind as to show me how to modify setupext.py such that the install actually works? I'm surprised this hasn't come up already, actually, as there definitely are a lot of bugs in trying to set it up now. At the very list, it seems that ConfigParser is constructing an empty list,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Cygwin and matplotlib

Matplotlib works well with Cygwin (I am using it with the gtkcairo backend), but installing it can be a hassle. You'll have to fix errors such as the ones you're seeing by modifying setup.py or setupext.py. --Michiel. --- On Mon, 8/16/10, Adam Gustafson wrote: From: Adam Gustafson Subject: [M

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to improve colorbar scaling?

Using the set_powerlimits method didn't help? As far as I know, the current implementation does not allow a custom scale factor. But if the scale factor is power of 10 (10, 100, 1000, ...), I believe using set_powerlimits method (as in my previous example, or some variation) is good enough. Let m

[Matplotlib-users] Cygwin and matplotlib

Could someone please kindly let me know if matplotlib is compatible with Cygwin? I installed all the necessary dependencies, yet I cannot get matplotlib to compile correctly. At the build step, this is what I get: $ python setup.py build basedirlist is: ['/usr/local', '/usr'] ===

I have an older version of matplotlib (0.98.5.2), but when I do this: sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib it says "python-matplotlib is already the newest version" and it doesn't download the latest version, which is 1.0.0. How can I get the latest matplotlib version using apt-get? --

It is good to know that both issues have been recognized and addressed. I searched the bug list and I guess failed to use the right keyword, or just didn't recognize the title. However, I am not in need of help, and certainly would not do a complete reinstall, perhaps introducing new issues, wh

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Why can't I change my artist's alpha?

Those artist in offsetbox module (e.g., TextArea, VPacker, AnchoredOffsetbox) are mostly a container object, i.e., actual drawing is done by other artists. And changing the artist attributes of the container object often does not work. In your case (I guess you want to make the frame translucent?),

Re: [Matplotlib-users] spline "smart bounds"

For clarification: this change is related to "spines" not "splines". Spines are the feature that allows the axes ticks to be plotted somewhere in the middle of the plot, rather than always at the edges. See here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.h
