However, from the python command line, the pie chart example works great: from pylab import * # make a square figure and axes figure(1, figsize=(8,8)) ax = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8]) labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs' fracs = [15,30,45, 10] figure(1) pie(fracs, labels=labels) # figure(2) showa some optional features. autopct is used to label # the percentage of the pie, and can be a format string or a function # which takes a percentage and returns a string. explode is a # len(fracs) sequuence which gives the fraction of the radius to # offset that slice. figure(2, figsize=(8,8)) explode=(0, 0.05, 0, 0) pie(fracs, explode=explode, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True) savefig('/home/wdj/pie_demo') Do you see what I'm doing wrong here? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
