Re: [Matplotlib-users] Example showing differences between Mac O$ and Windows use

I have used Anaconda with my students because it installs a standard environment on all platforms, it works very well and is easy to install. I have also tried to Enthought Canopy but swicthed to Anaconda because Anaconda was as simple to use, came with hfewer restrictions and in my experience

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Example showing differences between Mac O$ and Windows use

Are you sure that you want to use Python 3.3 on OSX 10.6??? Do you really still use 10.6? Do you want Python 3? I'm not sure on the current status, but many projects took quite a while to get ported over from Python 2. Furthermore, as often with free software, installation can be a bit tricky. I

Oops, you are correct. Copy-paste error. I did actually see the blinking boxes with the TkAgg backend. Jeroen On 13 Mar 2014, at 16:08, Joe Kington wrote: > That should be `matplotlib.use('TkAgg')`, not "Agg". Agg is a non-interactive > backend, while TkAgg is an interactive Tkinter wrappe

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Example showing differences between Mac O$ and Windows use

Jeroen seems to be right. The example runs fine in on my Mac when using the Qt4Agg backend (which is the default in my matplotlibrc file), but crashes when switching to the MacOSX backend. Tested on OS X 10.8.5., Matplotlib from MacPorts. Best, Felix Am 13.03.2014 um 15:53 schrieb Jeroen Hegem

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Example showing differences between Mac O$ and Windows use

That should be `matplotlib.use('TkAgg')`, not "Agg". Agg is a non-interactive backend, while TkAgg is an interactive Tkinter wrapper around the Agg backend. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 9:53 AM, Jeroen Hegeman wrote: > Hi Christophe, > > This is (I think) a known limitation of the OS X backend. One w

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Example showing differences between Mac O$ and Windows use

Hi Christophe, This is (I think) a known limitation of the OS X backend. One way around this is to use another backend. Which backends are available depends on how your matplotlib was built. (And unfortunately I don’t know how to figure out which ones are available, apart from trying.) In my ca
