Re: [Matplotlib-users] compiling from svn on windows

Chris: I have used cygwin to compile numpy and scipy svn versions for win XP on my old athlon system. I believe the scipy site has some detailed instructions. However, I have done a lot of compiling on my linux system and so that part was easy (configure, make, make install, etc) I don't

[Matplotlib-users] Zorder Problem with twinx()

2008-03-05 Thread Wayne E. Harlan
First, I apologize for the long script. It's if anyone wants to see the issue first hand. The problem is that when I use twinx() to plot two different functions on the same axes, the legend from the first part is overwritten by the grid lines of the second part (after the twinx() statement).

Eric: I have never seen any software which dealt with non uniform DPI settings, although that is always a possibility. And all the displays I have ever worked on/with have been the same for both H and V. ( I am a display engineer with over 25 years experience in CRT displays and a bit in

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Margin are too wide

First you should look at the axes() command with its arguments to control the boundaries of the plot area inside the figure. I always use this to maximize the use of the figure space. I'm not sure, though, whether this works with the kind of plot you want. Check it out. The other thing

2007-10-01 Thread Wayne E. Harlan
I have a serious problem with my Linux installation of matplotlib. It segfaults after a very brief display of a plot window outline (no actual plot within it). Before presenting the details of my problem, I would like to download the latest CVS version to make sure this hasn't been fixed
