[Matplotlib-users] WXAgg Backend Errors on Exit

2008-06-16 Thread A. S. Budden
Dear all, I have been using the WXAgg backend with matplotlib and have been coming across an occasional error. Unfortunately, it is a little difficult to trap as it doesn't happen every time! Running on Windows with python 2.5.2, matplotlib 0.98.0 (installed from the binary) and wx version

Are you using the wxAgg backend or just wx? Which version of matplotlib? If you're using 0.98.x with the wx backend, things are *very* slow. The performance of wx.GraphicsContext (that is uses under the hood) is terrible. You may want to try switching to the WxAgg backend, which, among

Re: [Matplotlib-users] ticks label to the right side

2008-06-16 Thread Stan West
Quoting Fabrice Silva: Using version 0.91.2, I do not manage to push ticks labels to the right side of the axis, keeping ticks lines on both sides. How can I do it ? One solution is yax = gca().yaxis yax.set_ticks_position('right') # labels right side; removes left ticks

[Matplotlib-users] Version 0.98 behavior change - scatter

2008-06-16 Thread S Murthy Kambhampaty
There seems to have been a change to the behavior of the 'alpha' keyword option to scatter(): where previously alpha only affected the facecolor, and the edgecolor always had an alpha of 1.0, alpha now seems to affect both facecolor and edgecolor. Tested with 0.93.1 and 0.98. Tested with new

As a quick-fix workaround, you can do: from matplotlib.pyplot import * p = scatter([0,1,2,3], [4,5,6,7], c ='k', alpha=0, edgecolor = 'k') p._alpha = 1.0 p.set_edgecolor('k') show() But the deeper question is for the rest of the list is... what's the correct behavior? Should we just revert to

I realize this is way outdated now, but I came across the same problem. My imshow command would display fine in the xwindow and all plotting devices except for .ps. Taking the advice you guys gave, I tracked it down to pdftops in the backends.ps.py file. I changed the command from: command =
