python plot scripts #44

Closed lars2015 closed 3 weeks ago

lars2015 commented 3 weeks ago

There seems to be an issue with installing matplotlib for the python plot scripts on Ubuntu 24.04?

> sudo apt install python3-mpltoolkits.basemap

Package python3-mpltoolkits.basemap is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I think for python packages, it would be better to use python3 -m pip install basemap, which is also stated in the basemap repo .

Hi Yen-Sen,

Installing basemap globally with pip did not work directly for me, Ubuntu 24.04 requires the python modules to be installed in a virtual environment (venv), it seems. I've updated the README and example scripts to reflect this.

Thanks! :-) Lars
