Dear all,
I tried to search through the mailinglist archive first, but couldn't (
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=matplotlib-users).
Is the mailinglist only for browsing by date?
I did a clean install of matplotlib (following the installation webpage) on
Linux machine (x86_64 GNU/Linux), from source file matplotlib-1.1.0.tar.
the building log is as follow, you could see that I did change the basedir
list in setupext.py. I didn't change the matplotlibrc file. (I installed
ActiveTcl and ActivePython trying to solve the problem, but the
installation seems unchanged.)
tabasco:~/software/matplotlib-1.1.0> python setup.py build
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local', '/usr',
'/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/libpng-1.5.9',
'/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/ActiveTcl',
'/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/ActivePython',
'/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/freetype-2.4.9',
'/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/zlib-1.2.6']

After compilation, I can generate plots using script as blow:
>cat test.py
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2],[2,3])
plt.savefig("test.png")
plt.savefig("test.eps")
plt.savefig("test.pdf")
But the problem I have now is that: I get no pop-up window when I type
pylab.show() in interactive mode. And below is the output of simple_plot:
> cat simple_plot.py
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
> python simple_plot.py --verbose-helpful
$HOME=/mnt/raidc/mshang
CONFIGDIR=/mnt/raidc/mshang/.matplotlib
matplotlib data path
/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/Python-2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
loaded rc file
/mnt/raidc/mshang/software/Python-2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 1.1.0
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is linux2
Using fontManager instance from /mnt/raidc/mshang/.matplotlib/fontList.cache
backend agg version v2.2
Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here? I can run gnuplot and
get pop-up windows fine, but I guess matplotlib doesn't use Xming...
Thank you all for reading this post!!
