Hello - I've been searching around for a good plotting package for python; matplotlib seems great - the problem is, I can't get anything to show().
I'm on os x 10.4.8, python 2.4. I've installed (and uninstalled and installed) matplotlib via darwin ports: novelbox:~/dev/py/work knot$ sudo port installed | grep matplot py-matplotlib @0.87.6_0 (active) I can execute this from the interactive python prompt: Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 30 2006, 11:02:16) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin >>> from pylab import * >>> plot([1,2,3]) [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x2bdf800>] >>> show() but I don't get any output window... Same for executing this snippet from the shell: novelbox:~/dev/py/work knot$ cat matplot.py from pylab import * plot([1,2,3]) show() raw_input() novelbox:~/dev/py/work knot$ python matplot.py --verbose-helpful matplotlib data path /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data $HOME=/Users/knot CONFIGDIR=/Users/knot/.matplotlib loaded rc file /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc matplotlib version 0.87.6 verbose.level helpful interactive is False platform is darwin numerix numarray 1.5.1 font search path ['/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data'] loaded ttfcache file /Users/knot/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache backend Agg version v2.2 I found nothing in the FAQ or mailing list archive similar to this problem. I must be doing something dumb, but without an error I'm a bit perplexed. Can anyone please point me in a direction that might help me solve this?
