Re: [Matplotlib-users] Newbie help!

[Barry D. <bl...@ad...>]

I am using the 0.29 version of matplotlib.  I switched
to running the examples from the tutorial and things
are working great.

You verified what I thought, that _simple_demo.py was
from an earlier version.

I haven't been able to use the package interactively
yet.  At a command prompt, I was able to run the
thread test from the website though.  I'll mainly be
using matplotlib statically anyway.

As a long time Matlab user, I was very happy to find
this package!

Thanks for your quick response.
