Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 0.98.3-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
I installed the latest python-matplotlib package from unstable on a
lenny system to workaround a bug that prevents me from using matplotlib
on lenny at all.
I had to learn that the new package version does not allow for
interactive plotting. Please see this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ipython --pylab
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 29 2008, 21:15:13)

IPython 0.8.4 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? - Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref - Quick reference.
help - Python's own help system.
object? - Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.
Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.
For more information, type 'help(pylab)'.
In [1]: plot(range(5))
Out[1]: [matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x8f574cc]
In [2]: show()
In [3]: isinteractive()
Out[3]: True
In [4]: savefig('test.png')
In [5]: !display test.png
In [6]:
The show() call in [2] has no effect whatsoever, but calling savefig()
does store the plot in a file.
Thanks,
Michael
