[Matplotlib-users] All-in-one distribution of python/numpy/scipy/mpl for windows

2007-05-14 Thread Mark Bakker
Thanks for the pointer to the new egg installer of Enthought. Nice app, which I will use. But this is, IMHO, not what we need to move the python/numpy/scipy/mpl combo into the more mainstream use. Many potential users won't know what to do with the long list of packages that they have never

[Matplotlib-users] How to start IDLE with -n option????

2007-05-14 Thread Mark Bakker
Hello list - I want to run mpl interactively from IDLE on Windows XP. For that I need to use the '-n' option when starting IDLE. However, in the recent version of Python, when I select the IDLE icon and right click to set the properties, the 'target' is now grey and cannot be edited. In the

It seems like it would be a relatively easy thing for a Novice mode to be added to the Enstaller. The novice mode would just show you three happy buttons: install, upgrade, and uninstall. Under the hood it would be picking some particular set of packages for you. In fact even for experts it

[Matplotlib-users] problem with FancyArrow overhang

2007-05-14 Thread Mark Bakker
Hello list - I am trying to use FancyArrow to draw an arrow with given length. The length I use is from 0 to 100. I specify length_includes_head=True. This works fine when I specify a width and length. But when I specify an overhang, the length of the arrow becomes much longer than 100. Am I

Not exactly OT. I would not recommend using .eps format in order to export MPL graphs for Inkscape. I've been playing around with Inkscape for a few days now and I've been using .svg exclusively and don't have any problem. As I said before, I like the fact that once I am inside Inscape, I can

Hi I apologize for my late response, I was in the hospital. Thanks for the tip, the ticks are now magically divided by a constant. Here's some input on scaling the input data: Say -- you have 25000 points of data. You want to capture each and every point of data on a plot. Mpl lists the ticks
