Eric,
thanks for follow-up! No, I didn't miss it. Saw it Sunday night my time and spent time with my son getting him ready for start of university istead.
Re the setup of Python ... I will do that this week.
Here's the code extract:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# −*− coding: UTF−8 −*−
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg') # before importing pyplot per docs
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
[snipped the import of Python and Django libraries]

That way you don't risk fouling up the python that OS X is depending on,
and at the same time your own code can use the version of python that
most extension packages are built for.I have a module where there are two functions which call matplotlib to each create a different graph which both saved to an output PNG file. The import statements:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as npare at the top of the module file. Neither function imports anything specifically, relying on the above imports.
I call each function sequentially. The result is that the first graph is created correctly. The second graph is flawed, and in fact shows the legend from the first function. When I reverse the function calls, which ever graphing function is called first is ok, but second is flawed. If I call each function on it's own, within the same Python session, the graphs (both) get produced flawlessly.
both charts are bar charts; but one does a stacked bar and the other is a simple bar chart.
Why would I not be able to call the two functions sequentially? Why does the first call interfere with the second call?
I don't think anyone is going to be able to answer this question until
you provide a minimal stand-alone code example. Also, the process of
stripping your code down to the shortest example that displays the
undesired behavior may show you where the problem lies.Eric
