[Matplotlib-users] what is the old default font?

Hello List - A while back, the default font changed in the matplotlibrc file. Does anybody recall what the old default font was? I kinda liked it better than the current font, but I don't recall what it was. Thanks, Mark -

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matlab, idle, interactivity and teaching

Giorgio - Thanks for starting this discussion and sorry for the late reply. Use of Python with matplotlib in the classroom and by students in general is a major objective of mine. I use IDLE with numpy, scipy, and matplotlib. The IDLE problem is really annoying though. Starting with -n is requi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matlab, idle, interactivity and teaching

Dear List - Thanks for the discussion on the issue of the real strength of the Python/matplotlib/numpy/scipy combo. I use Python for both development and teaching, but my biggest question concerned teaching. When I teach, I need something easy and powerful, but also something that is easy to in

[Matplotlib-users] using IDLE with -n option HELP

Hello List - I have been using IDLE with the -n option to run matplotlib interactively. Now today I decided to install Python 2.4.4, using the win32 installer on the python webpage. Normally I use the Enthought edition (which I like a lot), but they haven't released a new version with numpy 1.0

[Matplotlib-users] confusion about what part of numpy pylab imports

Hello list - I am confused about the part of numpy that pylab imports. Apparently, pylab imports 'zeros', but not the 'zeros' from numpy, as it returns integers by default, rather than floats. The same holds for 'ones' and 'empty'. Example: from pylab import * zeros(3) array([0, 0, 0]) from nu

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib-users Digest, Vol 12, Issue 1

A quick fix (since you need an exam, I guess) would be to make the label with the 'text' command and put it where you want it. I am interested in an elegant fix, Mark On 5/2/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 11:39:03 -0500 From: "Ryan Krauss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Matplotlib-

[Matplotlib-users] use of enthought Python for matplotlib/numpy

I noticed on your Web Lab website that you suggest to download the Enthouhht edition. Although I suggest that to my students for class as well, we are currently running into some problems as the latest Enthought edition still includes an old numpy (version less than 1.0). Some important changes we

Re: [Matplotlib-users] use of enthought Python for matplotlib/numpy

I use Python/numpy/mpl/scipy to teach Computational methods for scientists and engineers. Yeah, a mouthfull, but that's what it is. We mainly solve problems of heat flow, groundwater flow, and diffusion-type equations in the class. Both fun analytic solutions and finite difference solutions. So th

[Matplotlib-users] All-in-one distribution of python/numpy/scipy/mpl for windows

Thanks for the pointer to the new egg installer of Enthought. Nice app, which I will use. But this is, IMHO, not what we need to move the python/numpy/scipy/mpl combo into the more mainstream use. Many potential users won't know what to do with the long list of packages that they have never heard

[Matplotlib-users] How to start IDLE with -n option????

Hello list - I want to run mpl interactively from IDLE on Windows XP. For that I need to use the '-n' option when starting IDLE. However, in the recent version of Python, when I select the IDLE icon and right click to set the properties, the 'target' is now grey and cannot be edited. In the past

[Matplotlib-users] problem with FancyArrow overhang

Hello list - I am trying to use FancyArrow to draw an arrow with given length. The length I use is from 0 to 100. I specify length_includes_head=True. This works fine when I specify a width and length. But when I specify an overhang, the length of the arrow becomes much longer than 100. Am I usin

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Prompt in MPL

I think a prompt could be very useful in MPL, just to build small little GUI's that only need 1 or 2 boxes. I also realize it is not easy, and for bigger jobs you want a full GUI environment like wx or Tk anyway, so I understand it when developers set other priorities. Then again, I would really u

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Prompt in MPL

I notice the alignment problem. But it looks like you are close. On my machine (win32), the 'enter' key didn't work either. It works like a backspace. That sounds like what Matthias reported. Mark On 6/5/07, John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 6/5/07, John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote
