Hi
I like MPL very much since I'm used to MATLAB and it's fantastic plotting features
but I have 3 little issues (most likely newbie stuff to solve.
1.)
To change the backend interactively the MPL homepage suggests something like
聽聽import matplotlib
聽聽from pylab import *
聽聽matplotlib.use(<backend-name-string>)
聽聽plot(...); show()
But I found that whatever backend I tell MPL to use, it always uses the one defined in my .matplotlibrc.
2.)
When I start my Python shell (IPython, WinXP) and use MPL the 1st time in the session
聽聽from pylab import *
聽聽plot(...); show()
the plot window appears but I'm not able to type anything in the shell. I close the plot window and
聽聽plot(...); show()
again. From now on I'm able to type in the shell. What's up?
3.)
I tried to plot a data set with 1024 points (shape(x) = shape(y) = (1024,)).
聽聽plot(x,y)
which takes about 4 seconds to build up the plot (at least with the TkAgg backend). This is far to slow for me. What can I do?
Cheers,
Steve
