Problems with clabel in manual mode

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

I’m having trouble with the clabel command. When using auto mode, it scatters the lables at non-optimal locations (see attached plot). When trying to use the manual switch, the figure does not react to my mouse clicks, and errors occur when trying to use the keyboard alternatives.

I’m using PythonXY 2.6.2.0, which includes Matplotlib 0.99.1.

I have seen a similar post on the list, which refers to an example script ginput_manual_clabel.py, however, this script gives me the same problems.

I can manually manipulate the label positions after plotting, by accessing the text instances, but that does not move the breaks/holes in the contour lines.

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

send as plain text!)
