Re: [Matplotlib-users] update to: I can not get matplotlib to work on a windows xp professional machine

[Ryan K. <rya...@gm...>]

Hey Gary,

I haven't used matplotlib in windows for awhile, but when I did, I had
good success with the TkAgg and WXAgg backends.  I don't remember if
the TkAgg had other things I needed to install, but I think if you
have wxPython already installed, then WXAgg works well out-of-the-box
(but my memory could be flaky or things could have changed).
