Jouni, I think you're right.
If I run LaTeX from the command line I get the error message:
warning: Could not open char translation file `cp8bit.tcx'.
This is e-TeX, Version 3.141592-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.2)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.efmt
fmtutil: unknown format type: latex.efmt.
I can't find the format file `latex.efmt'!
But if I run it from TeXShop it runs perfectly:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009)
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
and----
~ Harry$ which latex
/usr/local/bin/latex
I don't know whether this is the right forum, but could you tell me how to fix this? I'm running OS X 10.6.4.
Thanks,
Harry

I am having trouble saving figures to PNG with Agg backend. The problem is I
can't get a PNG without transparency even if I specify:fig.savefig("colorAgg.png", dpi=300, transparent=False)
identify still indicates there is a 1-bit aplha channel present:

----------------------------------------------------------------This is not a big deal but there si a problem when I insert this PNGs in PDF
and there si a RGB/CMYK conversion on every page that contains transparent
PNG.How can I get rid of the aplha channel completely? How do I tell the backend
to work (or at least save) in pure RGB not in RGBA color space?Thanks and take care,
Miha

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Hi there,
I'm trying to render text with LaTeX using the example on page 53 of the
Matplotlib tutorial; see source code and output below.
It's not working. divipng, (latest)Ghostscript, and LaTeX are all
installed; their executables
in my PATH. Matplotlib is working flawlessly. Help is appreciated.
Thanks, Harry$gs

I'm making a strip chart widget (which I plan to make publicly available

not doing so well. Strip charts are typically short, and when suitably

axis annotations and put all the variable sizing into the data area? Or
do I have to manually set them somehow?As far as I know, there's nothing to automatically resize the padding around the the axes. (The manual way to do it is to call `fig.subplots_adjust`). I wrote a helper script (attached below) to adjust the layout so that there's a specified amount of padding around the axes.
Unfortunately, this resizer doesn't function correctly when using the GTK backend. It apparently works fine with TkAgg, MacOSX, and Qt4Agg backends.
Also, is there a way from my software (not a .matplotlibrc file) to
globally make the default background color white for axis annotation
areas? Right now the background is gray for annotations and while for
plot area and I'd prefer it was all white.-- Russell
Just set plt.rc('figure', facecolor='w') in your code (assuming you've imported matplotlib.pyplot as plt).
Best,

-------------- next part --------------Usage note: Since it sounds like you're not creating subplots, you can just use the `tight_borders` function, instead of the `tight_layout` function; the later requires two redraws while the first requires only one.
