Re: [Matplotlib-users] Why is pip not mentioned in the Installation Documentation?

Hi Neal, Is that due to conflicting package versions? I haven't suffered any particular issues like this yet, but it seems to me that pip would be improved if it interacted better with the environment it was in. How hard would it be to get pip to interact with yum and apt, for instance, to

The original question was raised in a mpl ticket: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1513 My original answer there (copied pasted): The bbox_inches='tight' option to savefig does some analysis on the artists visible on your plot and figures out the minimum bounding box needed to

The problem is that pip packages something as a dir where easy_install packages as a file, or vice-versa. Then when you update, cpio will fail (doesn't know how to replace a dir with a file, or vice-versa). Next, the entire installation will abort Leaving you with a mess. I understand it's

Neal, thanks for the warning. I found the thread of your discussion here actually: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/162496.html It's very interesting. My feeling would be that a PyPI fedora repository would make the most sense - much like the current Fedora

python setup.py install won't cause that issue. Also, easy_install doesn't cause the same issue. OTOH, I'm not sure what easy_install does in the case of deps. If you use pip install --user it will try (and fail) to remove old versions of deps from system. I don't know what easy_install does

2012-11-20 Thread Stephen Gibson
Unfortunately, as you state, edgecolors='none' also wipes the (x,y) data line. I tried adding an additional erase zero line, with edgecolors='none' for each slice, but it seems the return path extends from (x[0],y[0]) to (x[-1],y[-1]) via some intermediate point. An additional blank (x[0],

Setting the y-values of the start and end points to zero, (x[0],0.0) and (x[-1],0.0), forces the return baseline path to be well defined at y=0, allowing it to be overlain with a second line of a neutral colour. However, this baseline also wipes a through adjacent slice data. = FAIL. Steve.

Sorry, for the repeated emails/noise. There is in fact an option closed=False for not closing the path: /class /matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection(/verts/, /sizes=None/, /closed=True/, /**kwargs/) However, closed=False has no effect. Steve.
