No errors but also no display.. #5

cgoliver commented 7 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for sharing this tool.

I am running on MacOS 10.2 Sierra with anaconda python 3.5. I also have XQuartz installed.

I set the environment variables correctly and have the latest version of the script.

When I try to run test.py or a simple plot in ipython, i just get a blank space and no display.

I was wondering if you have any suggestions 

In [2]: plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
Out[2]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x10cd55b00>]

In [3]: plt.show()

In [4]:

Thanks!

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Perhaps ipython has already set the backend to use? I think can happen, for example, if you run %pylab.

What does the ipython start-up message say in regards to the backend?

Does this script work if you run it from the command line?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.show()

Using matplotlib backend: MacOSX
Populating the interactive namespace from numpy and matplotlib

In [2]: plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
Out[2]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x110c87dd8>]

If I run from the command line, also nothing happens. So it appears it's not using the iterm backend.

However in my ~/.bash_profile I have the following lines:

export PYTHONPATH=~/itermplot:$PYTHONPATH
export MPLBACKEND="module://itermplot"
export ITERMPLOT="rv"

And I have the itermplot/ directory in ~/

So I guess this is not successfully setting the backend?

Thanks for the help.

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Yeah, the problem is the line: Using matplotlib backend: MacOSX.

Don't use %pylab and try pasting the above test script in ipython directly.

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Btw, I've updated the installation instructions to use a setup.py and pip. This means you no longer have to set PYTHONPATH as it will put it in your site-packages directory.

cgoliver commented 7 years ago

Ok, I am trying to install with pip now but it seems to not be able to find the module..

Ok, I probably messed something up with setup.py. I'll need to investigate but currently I have a few errands to run... On Sat., 14 Jan. 2017 at 08:37, Carlos G. Oliver notifications@github.com wrote:

no worries, take your time. thanks again!

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Hopefully this should all be fixed now @cgoliver. Try pip3 install -U itermplot

cgoliver commented 7 years ago

Hi! So I tried that and i'm still getting the same issue of nothing being displayed. Let me know if you want more info on my setup or if you have any more suggestions. Thanks!

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Hi Carlos, could you try the latest version? pip install -U itermplot

same error :(

daleroberts commented 7 years ago

Did you do an update? pip3 install -U itermplot

If it still doesn't work, could you send me a test script that causes this error? I am suspecting it had to do with a line where you set the color "# 1f77b4".

hi! yep i did that and I even made a fresh environment with anaconda to make sure I wasn't changing something or some other module was changing something.

$ conda create --name fresh python=3.5
$ source activate fresh
$ pip install -U itermplot

Running interactively or from script yields the same error. Here is the script:

 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
  plt.show()
daleroberts commented 7 years ago

I just installed anaconda. It seems like they force the use of the Mac matplotlib backend... Not sure how to override this.
