Hi Where can I download current mpl documentation in HTML format? Because there is now way to build it under win32 |

Hi, The documention on building matplotlib from source ( http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html ) says the following : "If you are on debian/ubuntu, you can get all the dependencies required to build matplotlib with: sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib" However, doing so will force use to install over 800Mo of useless packages. The dependencies mentioned after that (pytvhon,numpy, libpng, freetype) are sufficient for building from source. Could you edit that ? Thanks -- Alexis Praga |

Actually, you will still need "python-dev" for compiling. Sorry.

Can you provide a list of all of the packages that "apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib" installs? I think there's more required than what you listed. For example, it installs a C++ compiler, which is required. We can't assume the user has anything already, which is why build-dep is so convenient.

Yeah, it definitely seems like there's a bit too much here. I think some of these dependencies are obsolete, in that we used to build extensions against gtk and wx in order to transfer image data to those backends, but those are no longer needed with current versions of those libraries. I looked up the direct dependencies of the package (since I think many on the list you provided are probably secondary dependencies.) I have some comments below.

Dear Michael, Sorry for such a lengthy email, but I wanted to ask about dependencies as well. I am trying to get python and py3k versions of matplotlib working. In addition to this I am trying to do this with git/master version. I can build Python2 version, but I could not do it with Python3. Could you tell me which packages are indeed needed to build python git/master? What are differences between Python2 and Python3 dependencies? I could later provide a patch for the git/master INSTALL file. So, the compile dependencies are as follows? media-libs/libpng # Needed? dev-python/imaging # Only for docs? dev-python/xlwt # What about this package? Runtime dependencies? virtual/ttf-fonts # I guess theese are needed for selecting media-fonts/stix-fonts # different fonts, or is it the case that media-fonts/texcm-ttf # mpl uses LaTeX fonts already? dev-python/pyparsing # Necessary? cairo? ( dev-python/pycairo ) # What about pango? excel? ( dev-python/xlwt ) latex? ( # Needed only for latex'ing virtual/latex-base app-text/ghostscript-gpl app-text/poppler[utils] # Needed? dev-texlive/texlive-fontsrecommended )" I started to follow the development of MPL a bit and IIRC it is now possible to install a python3 version along with the Python2. What is more one can use Pyside instead of pyqt4 for qt. But what about gtk? What libs are needed if I want to use gtk and python3? I remember, that there were some issues, but do not know whether they were resolved. Maybe it would be a good idea to reflect the Python3 status/dependencies in the documentation? Either way, thanks very much for working on the project! All best, Ignas A. |

These are shipped in the matplotlib git repository, so aren't strictly necessary. > dev-python/pyparsing # Necessary? Likewise. > cairo? ( dev-python/pycairo ) # What about pango? This is required if you want to use the GtkCairo backend. Pango is a dependency of cairo, but not a direct dependency of matplotlib. If your platform does package dependency resolution, that should be taken care of automatically. > excel? ( dev-python/xlwt ) See above. > latex?

Optionally, you'll want PyQt4 or PySide, wxPython, pygtk (pygobject on Python 3) or tkinter. But you only need one GUI framework of your preference. If using pygtk or tkinter, you'll also need to install the development headers. > > I started to follow the development of MPL a bit and IIRC it is > now possible to install a python3 version along with the Python2.

I remember, that > there were some issues, but do not know whether they were resolved. The issues is that you can't use Gtk with Agg, only with Cairo under Python 3. I've put a mailing list message into the pygobject developers about adding the necessary functionality to make this work, but have received no response for months. > > Maybe it would be a good idea to reflect the Python3 status/dependencies > in the documentation? Yes -- those are probably static enough now to do that. > > Either way, thanks very much for working on the project! You're welcome. Mike > > All best, > Ignas A. |
