Re: [Matplotlib-users] problem with histogram

[Antonino C. <cuc...@as...>]

Yes, I did indeed.
Is it sufficient replace the matplotlib directory under the scisoft/ 
with the one available from the site (0.98.0) to update it?
I also noticed that the available Fink package is also the 
matplotlib-0.91.0.

Thanks,
Nino
