I am new to Python but I did also try inserting the command: print rgb preceding the offending line, to get an idea of what the dimensions of 'rgb' are but the print statement also fails due to 'too many values to unpack' savefig("foobar.emf") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line 363, in savefig return fig.savefig(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 1084, in savefig self.canvas.print_figure(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_qt4agg.py", line 144, in print_figure FigureCanvasAgg.print_figure(self, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.py", line 1923, in print_figure **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.py", line 1723, in print_emf return emf.print_emf(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_emf.py", line 717, in print_emf self.figure.draw(renderer) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 55, in draw_wrapper draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 738, in draw if self.frameon: self.patch.draw(renderer) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\artist.py", line 55, in draw_wrapper draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\patches.py", line 411, in draw renderer.draw_path(gc, tpath, affine, rgbFace) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_emf.py", line 258, in draw_path self.select_brush(rgbFace) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_emf.py", line 565, in select_brush brush=EMFBrush(self.emf,rgb) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_emf.py", line 105, in __init__ r,g,b=rgb[:3] ValueError: too many values to unpack -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/EMF-output-too-many-values-to-unpack-error-tp11466p39275.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
