[Matplotlib-users] basemap problem

2010-01-28 Thread Gary Ruben
I just installed the latest EPD 6.0.2 Python 2.6-based distribution in WinXP. The mpl version is 0.99.1.1 and I installed basemap using the basemap-0.99.4.win32-py2.6.exe binary installer. I'm getting this traceback. Any ideas? Gary -- In [1]: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

Hang on - I just noticed EPD says it contains basemap already, so maybe installing over the top of it did something - I'll trying uninstalling and doing a repair of EPD. Gary Gary Ruben wrote: I just installed the latest EPD 6.0.2 Python 2.6-based distribution in WinXP. The mpl version is

OK, that worked. Sorry for the noise. I forgot basemap gets put under site-packages/mpl_toolkits. When I installed a second copy using the basemap binary installer, it went under site-packages and caused some sort of conflict. Gary Gary Ruben wrote: Hang on - I just noticed EPD says it

[Matplotlib-users] Problem with TkAgg backend on Windows version of EPD 6.0.0?

2010-01-28 Thread Bradley Minch
Hi everyone, I would like to develop a Tkinter GUI application for a course that I am teaching this semester that has an embedded matplotlib plot. I was hoping to have this application work with both the Mac OS X and Windows versions of Enthought Python Distribution v. 6.0.0. As a starting

2010-01-28 Thread Michael Droettboom
It looks like EPD's version of matplotlib wasn't built with the _tkagg extension (it is an optional component). This e-mail thread [1] seems to suggest that it has gone in and out of EPD (though it's supposed to be back in 6.0). Of course, I don't usually run EPD or Windows myself, so I'm

[Matplotlib-users] Problems with clabel in manual mode

Hi, I'm having trouble with the clabel command. When using auto mode, it scatters the lables at non-optimal locations (see attached plot). When trying to use the manual switch, the figure does not react to my mouse clicks, and errors occur when trying to use the keyboard alternatives. I'm using

Hello, I am using Matplotlib version 0.99.1.1. I have a simple problem: when outputting to PDF or SVG, alpha blending does not work for the lines drawn by contour. However, alpha blending does work for the regions given by contourf. Both work when outputting to PNG. My Python script (and

Hi, I'm trying to make a figure with a column of contourf() subplots using matplotlib.pyplot. The contour plots have the same levels and I only need one color bar. The problem is that I'm not sure how to place the color bar in the figure without messing up the alignment of the subplots. Can

Thank you very much. That was very helpful. The only thing now is that I have a set of quiver subplots (in a sparate figure) that I want to keep aligned to the contour subplots. After adding a horizontal colorbar at the bottom of the contour figure in a way similar to the example, I lose the

I achieved what I want by putting the colorbar on a separate figure to be included beneath the the two columns of subplots using the LaTeX subfloat environment. Wouldn't have known how to do that without the example, so thanks again. Sharaf On 29 January 2010 03:14, Sharaf Al-Sharif
