error in savefig with wxAgg backend

Hello,

I’m trying to use savefig in my wx app and I’m
using wxAgg backend. I’m getting this error:

FILE …maplotlib\backends\backend_bases.py, line 397 in
print_png

Self.get_renderer()._renderer.write_png(filename,
self.figure.dpi.dpi.get())

TypeError: cannot return std::string from Unicode object

I’m simply calling this:

self.figure.savefig(image_file,

                        facecolor='w',

                        edgecolor='w')

How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

Jeff

What version of matplotlib are you using? I have a vague recollection that this was fixed at one point.

In any case, you should be able to get around this by casting your filename to a string as such:

self.figure.savefig(str(image_file))

Hope that works for you,
Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for the tip. I will try it. I'm using 0.91.2.
