Re: [Matplotlib-users] Runtime Error - Need Advice
Thanks for all your suggestions Christoph. Launching the Tk Python Shell instead of PythonWin seems to work consistently - I get the correct plot figure and the correct log_plot.png file created everytime I run the script. I never did install Ipython, but I'll consider that for a future upgrade.

My suspicion is that this is a problem of dueling event loops, and one solution would be to use ipython instead of pythonwin.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Runtime Error - Need Advice
Use pylab.savefig('log_plot'). Also saving the figure to file and showing it interactively in the same script might involve switching backends, which might not work as expected. It is advisable to downgrade to numpy 1.3. -- Christoph On 2/9/2010 10:44 AM, Lee Boger wrote: > > Although, if I close the figure then re-run the script, a new figure > pops up but it doesn't have any data plotted.

Specifically, it introduces binary incompatibility with programs compiled against prior versions of numpy, including matplotlib. If you go back to the numpy sourceforge site now, I think you will see an earlier version that you can install in place of 1.4.0 (after removing the latter).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Runtime Error - Need Advice
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 "import pylab;pylab.subplot(111).figure.show()" or on the interactive prompt: >>> import pylab >>> pylab.subplot(111).figure.show() >>> exit() Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. -- Christoph On 2/9/2010 7:57 AM, Lee Boger wrote: > > > > Windows XP Professional with Python 2.5 installed (pywin32 build 210) - > > came with dSPACE software package > > > > Downloaded and installed matplotlib-0.99.1.win32-py2.5.exe from > > sourceforge.net > > > > Downloaded and installed numpy-1.4.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe from > > sourceforge.net > > > > Executing the following simple "log plot" script within PythonWin: > > > > *from* matplotlib *import* pylab > > > > # Create some artificial data. > > test_frequency = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, > > 17, 18, 19, 20] > > test_results = [-0.2, -0.7, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0, -2.5, -3.0, -3.5, -4, -5, > > -6, -7.1, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -15, -20, -25] > > spec_frequency = [6, 8] > > spec_results = [-3.0, -3.0] > > > > # Plot > > figure = pylab.subplot(111) > > figure.semilogx() > > figure.scatter(test_frequency, test_results, s=20, c='b', marker='s', > > edgecolors='none') > > figure.scatter(spec_frequency, spec_results, s=40, c='g', marker='s', > > edgecolors='none') > > figure.grid(True) > > figure.set_xlabel(r"Frequency (Hz)", fontsize = 12) > > figure.set_ylabel(r"Actuator Response (db)", fontsize = 12) > > > > figure.figure.savefig('log_plot') > > figure.figure.show() > > > > > > Plots a figure on the screen that looks correct, then the following > > error (when I click OK, PythonWin closes) > > > > > > > > Any advice would be appreciated.

[Matplotlib-users] Runtime Error - Need Advice
Windows XP Professional with Python 2.5 installed (pywin32 build 210) - came with dSPACE software package Downloaded and installed matplotlib-0.99.1.win32-py2.5.exe from sourceforge.net Downloaded and installed numpy-1.4.0-win32-superpack-python2.5.exe from sourceforge.net Executing the following simple "log plot" script within PythonWin: from matplotlib import pylab # Create some artificial data. test_frequency = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] test_results = [-0.2, -0.7, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0, -2.5, -3.0, -3.5, -4, -5, -6, -7.1, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -15, -20, -25] spec_frequency = [6, 8] spec_results = [-3.0, -3.0] # Plot figure = pylab.subplot(111) figure.semilogx() figure.scatter(test_frequency, test_results, s=20, c='b', marker='s', edgecolors='none') figure.scatter(spec_frequency, spec_results, s=40, c='g', marker='s', edgecolors='none') figure.grid(True) figure.set_xlabel(r"Frequency (Hz)", fontsize = 12) figure.set_ylabel(r"Actuator Response (db)", fontsize = 12) figure.figure.savefig('log_plot') figure.figure.show() Plots a figure on the screen that looks correct, then the following error (when I click OK, PythonWin closes) Any advice would be appreciated.
