contour demos fail

Hi all.

The contour plot demos are failing on my installation with a
"ValueError: Arguments x, y, z, mask (if present) must be 2D arrays."

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks.

Craig: I assume you are using numpy? If so, you need the latest
matplotlib (0.86.2) - there may even be a few fixes committed to CVS to
fix numpy support that didn't make it in to 0.86.2. The latest CVS
version works well with numpy.

I'd like to use Numeric-23.1 since that's what I have installed.

Will that not work with matplotlib?

Thanks,
Craig

Craig: That should work. Do you have numerix='Numeric' in your matplotlibrc?

You might want to upgrade to Numeric 24.2, but I don't think this is the source of your problem.

Thanks, Jeff.

That did the trick. I didn't even have a .matplotlibrc file. Default behavior must be numpy, huh?

Craig:

If you have numpy installed, it will choose that as the default. If numpy is not installed, Numeric is the default.

Bizarre. I don't remember ever having installed numpy, it doesn't appear to be anywhere on my system, and if I do an "import numpy" it fails. Maybe matplotlib is getting confused somehow? How does it try to detect if numpy is installed?

Hi Jeff, et.al.

Funny thing... somehow during the process of installation and moving stuff around, matplotlib has gone back to using numpy instead of Numeric (and giving me the error messages when trying to run contour_demo.py).

I still have
"numerix : Numeric # Numeric or numarray"
in my .rc file.

How can I check to make sure about which .rc file matplotlib is trying to use?

Thanks, Craig

PS apparently, numpy *is* installed somewhere, I guess....

*doh*

There's not supposed to be a "dot" in the rc filename...

Works again.
