I'm just starting to futz around with matplotlib and I tried to run this example from the matplotlib doc page (it's the imshow() example):
import numpy as np import matplotlib.cm as cm import matplotlib.mlab as mlab import matplotlib.pyplot as plt delta = 0.025 x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta) X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y) Z1 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0) Z2 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1) Z = Z2-Z1 # difference of Gaussians im = plt.imshow(Z, interpolation='bilinear', cmap=cm.gray, origin='lower', extent=[-3,3,-3,3]) plt.show() I get the following error: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1410, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 248, in resize self.show() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 252, in draw tkagg.blit(self._tkphoto, self.renderer._renderer, colormode=2) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/tkagg.py", line 19, in blit tk.call("PyAggImagePhoto", photoimage, id(aggimage), colormode, id(bbox_array)) TclError I'm using Python 2.7.3 on OS X 10.6.8 and I'm invoking python by doing "arch -i386 python" because matplotlib doesn't do 64-bit. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know why this is happening? It looks like a problem with tkinter but beyond that I haven't a clue. And, finally, any ideas as to how to make it behave?
