Plot problem

Hello there, I have a strange plotting problem. In the

Not sure what your problem is -- I can run your script and get three
identical lines as expected.

My guess if you are mixing numpy with an incorrect matplotlib numerix
setting. If you are creating your arrays with numpy, you need to set
"numerix :numpy" in your matplotlibrc file

  http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc

You can find your numerix setting by running your script with

  > python myscript.py --verbose-helpful

John, thanks for your suggestion. I would never have thought of looking for the cause of the problem in that direction. However, it isn't solved yet. The verbose mode yielded the line "numerix Numeric 23.7", which is apparently wrong. Actually I am trying to use SciPy, which I've heard is based on NumPy, so I believe this numerix thing should be connected with NumPy. I copied the file http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc to ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (such a file didn't exist) and now I get a new kind of error (see below). Do you (or anyone) have an idea what this is about? Thanks in advance!

Axel.
