Hello, I am a first-time user of matplotlib. When trying to run the plotmap.py example, the following traceback is generated:
>plotmap.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\jim.vickroy\My Documents\Projects\High-latitudes D-region\plotmap.py", line 13, in <module> topoin = load('etopo20data.gz') File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mlab.py", line 1252, in load fh = cbook.to_filehandle(fname) File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\cbook.py", line 236, in to_filehandle fh = gzip.open(fname, flag) File "C:\Python25\lib\gzip.py", line 49, in open return GzipFile(filename, mode, compresslevel) File "C:\Python25\lib\gzip.py", line 95, in __init__ fileobj = self.myfileobj = __builtin__.open(filename, mode or 'rb') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'etopo20data.gz' How do I obtain this file and where should it reside? I have downloaded proj446_win32_bin.zip and unzipped it, but I do not see any such file. I have also attempted to search this user-group archive for references to "etopo20data.gz" but repeatedly get an "Unable to connect to Search Server" error so I do not know what I'm doing incorrectly. I have installed: - matplotlib-0.91.2.win32-py2.5.exe - basemap-0.9.9.1.win32-py2.5.exe - httplib2-0.4.0.zip for use with Python 2.5.1. I apologize if this has been previously addressed.
