I'm running Idle via X forwarding to my Windows desktop (running Cygwin). I've installed tcl/tk and python with Tkinter as a backend.
When I call pylab.show(), I always get the error : >>> pylab.show() Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1403, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 151, in resize self.show() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 155, in draw tkagg.blit(self._tkphoto, self.renderer._renderer, colormode=2) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/tkagg.py", line 14, in blit _tkagg.tkinit(id(tk), 0) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'tkinit' And an empty matplotlib window opens on my desktop. Should I try gtk as a backend??? TIA -- Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
