[Matplotlib-users] Error due to unusual font file

Trying to get a colleague to start using python, he ran into trouble, getting an error exit whenever he tried to fire up ipython -pylab After much searching, he figured it out... it appears that a small patch may be in order. Here is his note : I found it: I have a font installed in my personal

[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib and Flash

Any suggestions for turning a sequence of Matplotlib plots into a Flash movie, on Linux? I did just notice that R now has that capability built in. 8-) -- --- | Alan K. Jackson| To see a World in a Grain of Sand

[Matplotlib-users] Proselytizing Excel users

Pretty nice video trying to convince Excel users to try out R for their graphics needs. Anyone inspired to do the same for python? http://chartsgraphs.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/video-to-help-excel-users-get-familiar-with-r/ --

[Matplotlib-users] controlling tick label size

Trying to find a simple way to shrink the tick labels for this plot - since I can have many tiny histograms, the labels need to be smaller, but it isn't obvious to me how to simply shrink them. code snippet... num = len(datasets) fig = plt.figure() rows = np.int(np.sqrt(num)) cols =

[Matplotlib-users] open multiple plots from a program

I have been trying to figure out how to open up multiple plots from a traits program, without much luck. I tried threads, no joy. Is there a simple way to get multiple plots to come up? Would it work to fork off new processes for each plot? I haven't done that in python before, just perl, so

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Non-linear Regression to a Histogram

I have an example of fitting distributions to bus arrival times using 'R' that may be helpful. I wanted to calculate the latest time I could arrive at the bus stop and have a better than 95% chance of catching the bus. I tend to use R and Scipy whereever each is strongest.

[Matplotlib-users] displaying multiple plots

I've done this on my system at home, but it doesn't seem to be working at work. I generate a series of imshow() plots, each followed by a show() command. When I run the script, it should pause after each show() until I exit the plot, and then display the next plot. But now it isn't working. The
