Currently: IF a user has matplotlib installed outside of Sage AND they have a matplotlibrc file in ~/.matplotlib
THEN Sage will use the non-Sage version in ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc. If a user has set a frontend (such as WxAgg or any other GUI frontend) that Sage doesn't have (most of them), matplotlib won't run in the notebook. A simple fix is posted here. The basic idea is that Sage should ship its own matplotlibrc files, install it in .sage/matplotlib and set the MPLCONFIGDIR variable to point to .sage/matplotlib http://github.com/ellisonbg/spd/commit/788532177e9e27bdd33a81e7aabab888b182c3db Cheers, Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
