basemap/proj4 questions

Hi

I'm trying to test a new installation of matplotlib (0.86) and Basemap (0.7.2). On most of the examples I get the following error which seems to be related to proj4 libraries...

> python nytolondon.py
warning: figure.subplot.left rc value being reset to 0.1 in basemap
use rcdefaults() to get the original value back
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nytolondon.py", line 9, in ?
    lat_0=40.,lon_0=-20.,lat_ts=20.)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/basemap.py", line 477, in __init__
    xc,yc = proj(NX.array(cntrylons,'f'),NX.array(cntrylats))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/proj.py", line 167, in __call__
    outx,outy = self._proj4(x,y)
  File "proj4.pyx", line 330, in proj4.Proj.__call__
  File "proj4.pyx", line 152, in proj4.Proj._fwd
RuntimeError: Buffer lengths not the same

I'm not sure how to proceed with this. Has anyone seen anything similar? I should mention that this is a linux x86_64 machine running Fedora Core 4.

Thanks
Derrick

Derrick: If you are using the new scipy-core/numpy, you'll need cvs basemap (until I make a new release).

Jeff,

Thanks for working on this, but it seems the problem is not solved. I retrieved basemap.py from CVS and reinstalled basemap. I then received the same error further down in drawparallels. So, I made the change manually (removed the ,'f') from the NX.ones call) and the error then popped up in drawmeridians. Next I did a global search/replace and it seems that was overkill. After removing all of the ,'f' from any numerix function I tried again and received the error below.

[snowden@...949... examples]$ python nytolondon.py
warning: figure.subplot.left rc value being reset to 0.1 in basemap
use rcdefaults() to get the original value back
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nytolondon.py", line 28, in ?

    x,y = self(lons,lats)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/basemap.py", line 931, in __call__
    return self.projtran(x,y,inverse=inverse)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/proj.py", line 167, in __call__
    outx,outy = self._proj4(x,y)
  File "proj4.pyx", line 330, in proj4.Proj.__call__
  File "proj4.pyx", line 152, in proj4.Proj._fwd
RuntimeError: Buffer lengths not the same

It seems what I did was overkill. I am using numpy. When I switch to Numeric using my altered version of basemap.py, I am able to run nytolondon.py and ireland.py but most of the other examples fail with some variation of the following exception

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plotmap.py", line 26, in ?
    topodat,x,y = m.transform_scalar(topoin,lons,lats,nx,ny,returnxy=True)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/basemap.py", line 1700, in transform_scalar
    datout = interp(datin,lons,lats,lonsout,latsout,checkbounds=checkbounds,order=order)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/basemap/basemap.py", line 2259, in interp
    dataout = NX.reshape(dataout,xout.shape)
ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged

Next I retrieved the basemap.py from cvs again and reinstalled it. The following scripts work when using Numeric,

fillstates.py
ireland.py
hurrtracks.py
nytolondon.py

and the following do not,

plotmap*.py
simpletest*.py
contour_demo.py
ortho_demo.py
randompoints.py
quiver_demo.py
test.py
wiki_example.py

I did not try fcstmaps.py and testgdal.py since I don't have the dependencies installed yet.

Hope that helps!
Derrick

Jeff, Actually, in the long and drawn out email describing the various steps I tried, I mentioned switching back and forth between Numeric and numpy. I haven't tried numarray yet. The version info is below...

numpy: 0.9.2
Numeric: 23.7

Derrick: Sorry, I missed that. I'm at a loss then, since I can't
reproduce that error on any of the systems I have access too (Macos x,
linux 32 bit, and ia64). I wonder if anyone else out there with x86_64
would be willing to try the latest basemap from CVS?

Jeff,
I installed the cvs snapshot of basemap that you set up for me from ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Public/jsw/basemap-0.8cvs.tar.gz. Thanks for setting this up.

I installed Saturday's (21 jan) CVS version of matplotlib [ BTW-- what is the comment for finding the version number?]

numerix is set as numpy in ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc

numerix : numpy # Numeric or numarray

python2.3, Opteron AMD64, Red Hat Linux.

I get the same error as Derrick had with test.py (though the cylindrical projection works fine):

Could there be some conflict between the default 64-bit integer arrays in numpy with 32-bit integers in the proj library?

George: Thanks. numpy is a bit of a moving target right now - so I don't expect to have all the compatibility issues ironed out for a little while. Can you test with Numeric and/or numarray? They should work - if they don't I'd like to hear about it.

BTW:

import matplotlib
print matplotlib.__version__
import matplotlib.toolkits.basemap as basemap
print basemap.__version__

to get version numbers.

I think Numeric, numarray and numpy work the same way.
