What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the example from the online Easyviz documentation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The plot window appears without the curve !! The axis names are ok, but the
curve does not appear!! :-(

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm running the latest version of SciTools on Ubuntu 8.04 (64bit)
I had my plottings running properly for a long time on opensuse 10.3

Please provide any additional information below.

There is a problem with Gnuplot.py 1.7 and NumPy arrays on 64bit, however, 
upgrading
to Gnuplot.py 1.8 fixes the problem. Unfortunately, Gnuplot.py 1.8 is not in the
package manager in Hardy so you have to install it manually. You can download 
the
sources from  http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/ (link:
http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuplot-py/gnuplot-py-1.8.tar.gz). Untar 
it and
run 

  python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

Change the prefix as you like, however, make sure that Gnuplot.py 1.8 is first 
in the
PYTHONPATH environment variable, e.g., add the following to ~/.bashrc:

  export PYTHONPATH=/<some prefix>/lib/python2.5/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Substitute <some prefix> with your chosen installation prefix.

Hope this solves your problems,
Johannes
