Jouni: your latest commit resolves the issue for me. Thanks! Jae-Joon: Your preview.sty work seems to work great with the PDF backend (for me, at least). Cheers, Mike Michael Droettboom wrote: > > Jouni K. Seppänen wrote: >> Michael Droettboom writes: >> >> >>> when running usetex_fonteffec

Michael Droettboom writes: > The output of "python usetex_texteffects.py --verbose-debug" is attached. Thanks! The problem seems to be that your TeX configuration (pdftex.map) specifies using Helvetica without embedding it into the pdf file. This is deprecated in the PDF standard (PDF viewer app

Re: [matplotlib-devel] usetex w/ preview.sty

Sorry about the wild good chase. I had fixed up an earlier exception which was simply a problem with formatting a verbose message. That gives this, when running usetex_fonteffects.py (with all rcParams at defaults): Traceback (most recent call last): File "usetex_fonteffects.py", line 22, i

Re: [matplotlib-devel] usetex w/ preview.sty

Thanks for the explanation. The TeX install I have is the stock one with RHEL4, which is fairly old at this point. I've had a number of other problems with it as well (such as it not being compatible with Sphinx). It's nice to know that matplotlib is at least handling this situation without

Re: [matplotlib-devel] What would you like to see in a book about Matplotlib?

Hi Sandro, It's great news that a book may come out on MPL. Speaking as an aspiring university professor in neuroscience, I would like to see something that could be used as a resource for undergraduate students just learning Python and MPL. Due to this perspective, I think such a book would cove

[matplotlib-devel] What would you like to see in a book about Matplotlib?

Hello and Happy 2009! I received the interesting proposal to author a book on Matplotlib, the powerful 2D plotting library for Python. While preparing the arguments list, I'd like to hear even your opinion, because different points-of-view will lead to a better product. Some basic question I'd l

Re: [matplotlib-devel] usetex w/ preview.sty

Very nice! I'm currently getting this traceback with the PDF backend, whether "text.latex.preview" is True or False -- so it may be unrelated to your change, but I'm unable to test PDF at the moment. Traceback (most recent call last): File "usetex_baseline_test.py", line 75, in plt.savef

Hello Andrew, thanks for taking the time to reply. First of all, let me clarify that I received a proposal (and not the opposite) so some decision were already made about the book format. On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 20:00, Andrew Straw wrote: > Hi Sandro, > > It's great news that a book may come out
