Try installing the latest release (0.83.2),
removing your ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache, and rerunning your script.

i still get the problem:

the problem -- on the surface -- appears to be that readpng is looking for an existing file, but with _120 prepended to the . extension.

Hi,

is there a way to get an image of a patch? I'd like to use patches to display Regions Of Interest and
also use then use them as masks on the image for subsequent region based analysis.

regards,

Graeme
