I have made a plot and, when I try to save it as eps/ps, I get the
error "float argument required" in a pop-up window, whilst the
terminal shows this error message:
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py:1054:
GtkWarning: Unable to find default local directory monitor type
if self.run() != int(gtk.RESPONSE_OK):
I can save it as pdf, but the quality is not what I want. The curves
do not have the thickness I gave them.
I reproduced the same running it under Fedora 10.
I have googled and yahooed. Found nothing.
It looks as if the some function was expecting a decimal-point number
but got something else.
at the top of your script. That will take gtk and its popup windows out of the equation.
After doing that, you should get a traceback at the terminal that should help narrow this down. At this point we can only guess, without a line number.
Can you also provide a minimal script that causes this error? I'm particularly puzzled by the difference in output between PDF and PS.
Cheers,

I can send the .py and data, if you wish.

embarrassing ... But matplotlib would not complain when exporting to
pdf, nor to png etc... only ps/eps
thanks

Try switching to the Ps backend by putting:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("ps")
at the top of your script. That will take gtk and its popup windows out of
the equation.

help narrow this down. At this point we can only guess, without a line
number.
