Agg backend errors

John,

As you said I also believe it is likley to be a configuration/conflict
error. I recieve the same error below any time I attempt to use
savefig() with an Agg backend. The script below is an example file to
show it happens on even the most simple code. I was wondering if any
one had seen this , or could give me an idea of where to look for
removing the conflict. Are there file dependencies I should be looking
at , outside of Matplotlib?

Thanks again!

I tried to replicate this problem and could not. I did a clean
install of 0.83.2 on windows XP for python23 and Numeric 23.7 and your
test script ran fine for me. That makes it harder to fix.

I reread your original post and you are getting the error

     File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\agg.py", line 809,

   in move_to

       def move_to(*args): return _agg.path_storage_move_to(*args)

   TypeError: argument number 1: a 'path_t *' is expected,

   'path_storagePtr(<agg.path_storagePtr; proxy of C++

   agg::path_storage instance at _208aa401_p_agg__path_storage>)' is

   received

Is this the one you are still getting? For some reason it appears
that the SWIG typedef 'path_t' for 'agg::path_storage' is not being
properly handled on your system.

Can you provide any more information (exact operating system, other
things you've installed, any nonstandard path settings, etc). I
assume the script you posted is the one you are working with, and you
are not importing anything except pylab.

Here is what I am testing with

from pylab import *

plot(arange(10), color='#006400')
xlabel('this is a xlabel\n(with newlines!)')
ylabel('this is vertical\ntest', multialignment='center')
#ylabel('this is another!')
text(2, 7,'this is\nyet another test',
    rotation=45,
    horizontalalignment = 'center',
    verticalalignment = 'top',
    multialignment = 'center')
savefig('multiline')

which I run with

  C:> c:\Python23\python myscript.py -dAgg --verbose-helpful
