What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.5, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
from scitools.easyviz.vtk_ import * produces TypeError: function takes 
exactly 1 argument (2 given) for line 1185 fig._g.SetSize(width, height)

from the statements:
                try: width, height = fig.getp('size')
                except TypeError: width, height = (640, 480)
                fig._g.SetSize(width, height)
looks like it should be fine...

i just replaced that line with fig._g.SetSize(640, 480)

but after which,

in:
        try:
            v = vtk.vtkMesaRenderer()
            _graphics_fact = vtk.vtkGraphicsFactory()
            _graphics_fact.SetUseMesaClasses(1)
            _image_fact = vtk.vtkImagingFactory()
            _image_fact.SetUseMesaClasses(1)
            del _graphics_fact
            del _image_fact
            del v
        except Exception, msg:
            print "No mesa", msg

because of this, my code says:
No mesa 'module' object has no attribute 'vtkMesaRenderer'

i tried
print dir(vtk)
and vtkMesaRenderer is not there
how to install it?

Your first problem is somewhat strange. Which version of VTK do you have? I 
tried EPD
Python yesterday, which includes VTK, and I had no problem when running some 
simple
tests with the VTK backend.

The second problem is simply a warning that can safely be ignored, at least on
Windows. Mesa classes are necessary to do offscreen rendering, but is not used 
in
Windows. The warning has been removed in the vtk_new backend but, 
unfortunately, I
haven't had time finish writing this yet.

which VTK, hmm, i just used this: VTK 5.2.1 (ZIP, 11.9 MB) in 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/
~gohlke/ because i can't understand how to wrap vtk to python in 
http://vtk.org/VTK/
resources/software.html
after unzipping, i downloaded the VTKData, and the Examples. Some example codes 
are 
working fine, some are not...

wahh! it works! when i put the hardcopy('tmp0.png')
it saves the needed plot!
i thought it is not working, coz it just opens another window, then closes 
after 
less than a second... but it plots... when saved, how do i retain the 
window...? coz 
when running the code, it just appears and disappears...
attached, is the screenshot showing the window that appears then disappears 
after 
less than a second,

this is the code:
from scitools.all import *

x = y = linspace(-5, 5, 21)
xv, yv = ndgrid(x, y)
values = sin(sqrt(xv**2 + yv**2))
contourf(xv, yv, values)
show()
hardcopy('tmp0.png')

the tmp0.png shows the right image ;-)

I usually call raw_input if I want to keep the window until I press enter. Or 
use
time.sleep(sec) to keep the window for sec seconds.

by the way, when i do this:

axis([0, 23, 0, 23, 0, 8])        #for a square 
hardcopy('tmp8.png')

axis([0,8,0,23,0,8]) #set this for 4 rectangles
hardcopy('tmp9.png')

axis([0,23,15,23,0,8])
hardcopy('tmp10.png')

axis([15,23,0,23,0,8])
hardcopy('tmp11.png')

axis([0,23,0,8,0,8])
hardcopy('tmp12.png')

it makes a nice square volumetric plot
but the other four has the EasyViz Window on them... :-(
how can i make it disappear?

at the intervals, i tried moving the EasyViz Window and the window in the image 
also
moves. how can i make it disappear, how can i make the window move to a far x-y
point? or other ways?
