[Matplotlib-users] How to determine position of axes after imshow?

[Mark B. <ma...@gm...>]

Hello List,

I am trying to determine the position of the axes after an imshow and am
having problems.
I get a different answer on my Mac (the correct answer) than Windows (the
wrong answer).
I have a file called testimage.py with 5 lines:

from pylab import *
c = ones((10,20))
ax = imshow(c)
show()
print ax.get_axes().get_position()

I run this file from IPython.

On my Mac I get:
run testimage
Bbox(array([[ 0.125     ,  0.24166667],
       [ 0.9       ,  0.75833333]]))

On Windows I get (the wrong answer):
run testimage
Bbox(array([[ 0.125, 0.1 ],
       [0.9, 0.9 ]]))

Any thoughts? When I type the commands in at the IPython prompt it works
most of the time (on Windows), but it never works when running the file.
What in the world could be different?

mp version 1.1.0 on both systems.

Thanks for your help,

Mark
