The user interfaces require an x11 connection, but the image generation backends do not. Thjese are the ones you will want to use with apache, django, etc. What you need to do is set your default backend to "Agg" in your matplotlibrc file. This file resides in site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and can be moved into either HOME/..matplotlib or your working directory (eg where your image generating code lives). Once this is done mpl will generate PNGs w/o an X11 connection. http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django has some information on using mpl with django, but it is bit out of date because you no longer need PIL to save to a file handle. mpl can now save PNG directly to a file handle ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
