I copied the following code from a matplotlib tutorial, and it fails. I'm
using python 2.4 on Win XP. It's matplotlib-0.98.3.win32-py2.4exe. It fails
in IDLE with a small window showing a runtime error. Clicking the OK on it
kills IDLE and the shell. If I double-click on the py file, the console
briefly appears too quickly to notice any contents. I have read raw to stop
it. If I execute it from a console window, I'm told the results will be
available there. I've long forgotten how to get a console window up in Win
XP. I can strip it all the code way down to the from, and it will fail the
same way. Bad matplotlib install? Python error?
Here's the code. I added finish() to it.
from pylab import *
def finish():
print; print "Bye"
print
raw_input('Press Enter to Quit')
sys.exit()
t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
plot(t, s, linewidth=1.0)
xlabel('time (s)')
ylabel('voltage (mV)')
title('About as simple as it gets, folks')
grid(True)
show()
finish()
