The problems with animations on Mac are not so much related to the backend, but to the animations code itself. Animations with the MacOSX backend cannot be fixed without redesigning the animations module. Best, -Michiel. On Thu, 3/13/14, Ryan May wrot

Are you sure that you want to use Python 3.3 on OSX 10.6??? Do you really still use 10.6? Do you want Python 3? I'm not sure on the current status, but many projects took quite a while to get ported over from Python 2. Furthermore, as often with free software, installation can be a bit tricky. I

Jeroen seems to be right. The example runs fine in on my Mac when using the Qt4Agg backend (which is the default in my matplotlibrc file), but crashes when switching to the MacOSX backend. Tested on OS X 10.8.5., Matplotlib from MacPorts. Best, Felix Am 13.03.2014 um 15:53 schrieb Jeroen Hegem

That should be `matplotlib.use('TkAgg')`, not "Agg". Agg is a non-interactive backend, while TkAgg is an interactive Tkinter wrapper around the Agg backend. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 9:53 AM, Jeroen Hegeman wrote: > Hi Christophe, > > This is (I think) a known limitation of the OS X backend. One w

Hi Christophe, This is (I think) a known limitation of the OS X backend. One way around this is to use another backend. Which backends are available depends on how your matplotlib was built. (And unfortunately I don’t know how to figure out which ones are available, apart from trying.) In my ca
