mpl_toolkits

Hello,

  where can I find mpl_toolkits.
  Because I install matplotlib with ipython and the command
  yum install python-matplotlib
  but as a result I have no axes3d.py file and when I tried the examples of
  the matplotlib site I get the following message:
  unknown projection 3d
Apparently the toolkits mpl3d is missing, which site can provide it?

  Best regards

  Jeanguillaume

Jeanguillaume,

Which version of matplotlib did you install? The axes3d.py examples use a very new feature that wasn’t available in previous versions. The current examples can run with older versions of matplotlib by replacing the .gca() or the .add_subplot() line with

ax = axes3d.Axes3D(fig)

However, you would not be able to do any 3d subplotting examples without the latest version of matplotlib.

I hope that clears things up.

Most likely your matplotlib version provided by yum is out of date.
Check your version with

  import matplotlib
  print matplotlib.__version__

You can download the latest tarball from sourceforge:

  matplotlib - Browse /matplotlib/matplotlib-1.0 at SourceForge.net

See also the installing page:

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html

particularly the part on "Installing from source" and below. Perhaps
another yum user can advise you on the easiest ways to install the
build dependencies.
