Hello,
The only backend which works on my machine is wx.
The problem I was having was that matplotlib installed fine, but didn't show
plots. I tried removing matplotlib and re-installing,
that didn't help. I was using the Agg backend and figure windows did not get
created. Cairo doesn't work either.
I can live with only using wx, but
On my machine, I test with the following script:
from pylab import *
ion()
fig = figure()
plot([1,2,3])
show()
fig.savefig('test.png')
With agg, the figure saves correctly, but no window appears. With wx, a
window with the plot appears. I'm running numpy 1.5.0 (also built from
source).
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
