Incompatibility between Linux and XP

Hi Alan,

You'll see Python exceptions are obvious enough.

Here it looks like windows doesn't support the ".1".
Try 0.1 instead.

Hope it will solve the problem. :wink:

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] Incompatibility between Linux and XP

I'm a new python user, basically trying to learn python using matplotlib
for a little project.

My code works fine on Linux, but it fails on Windows XP. I'm running
the latest version of Matplotlib and SciPy python, 2.3.3.

Before I go to a lot of effort to build a small demo program to show the
failure, I thought I would ask to see of there are known incompatibilities
between Linux and XP that might be causing my problem.

The line of code that seems to precipitate the failure is :

self.Cax_c = figtext(0.84, .1, '000')

that gives an error on Windows XP of :

.....matplotlib\text.py", line 665 in set_text
TypeError: This doesn't look like a string: '0.0'

Thanks!

Wasn't that simple... sigh. I'll keep looking.
