Installing Matplotlib

Hi,

sorry to bother you. This may be a trivial question for experienced Matplotlib users. I am trying to install Matplotlib under Windows XP but with no success. I am not familiar with Python or any of the other packages and I’ve never used Matplotlib before. I followed the instructions in the Matplotlib User’s Manual and I have installed in the following sequence 1) Python(x,y)-2.1.12, 2) python-2.6.1.msi and 3) numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe. Can anyone advise me on what to do next?

Thanks,
Constantine

A quick but not necessarily accurate
answer: Don’t use Python 2.6. Use Python 2.5. I don’t
think matplotlib has been ‘certified’ for 2.6 yet.

I suggest

(1) uninstall Python 2.6 and
numpy for 2.6.

(2) Install Python 2.5 and numpy
for 2.5

(3) Install matplotlib for 2.5
