[PyX-user] Problems with PyX example #1

[BORGULYA <ga...@bo...>]

Dear All,

I am experimenting with PyX for the first time and I have difficulties! PyX=
=20
behaves not as I expect it to. Let's take the first example from the websit=
e=20
of PyX (http://pyx.sourceforge.net/examples.html):

    bash-2.05b$ python
    Python 2.3.3 (#1, Jun 15 2004, 10:26:37)=20
    [GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)] on=
=20
linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> from pyx import *
    >>> c =3D canvas.canvas()
    >>> c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!")
    <pyx.text._textbox instance at 0x4042a94c>
    >>> c.stroke(path.line(0, 0, 2, 0))
    <pyx.canvas.canvas instance at 0x4006ba6c>
    >>> c.writeEPSfile("hello")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    AttributeError: canvas instance has no attribute 'writeEPSfile'
    >>> dir(c)
    ['PSOps', '__doc__', '__init__', '__module__', '_text', 'attrcheck',=20
'attrcount', 'attrdel', 'attrget', 'attrgetall', 'attrgetfirst',=20
'attrgetlast', 'bbox', 'clipbbox', 'draw', 'fill', 'insert', 'prolog', 'set=
',=20
'settexrunner', 'stroke', 'texrunner', 'text', 'trafo', 'write',=20
'writetofile']
    >>> c.writetofile("hello")
    >>>=20

1. As you can see above, there is no procedure called writeEPSfile()! I hav=
e=20
no clue why - it appears in all the examples.
2. using dir() I found a procedure with a similar name: writetofile(). This=
=20
did make a file called "hello.eps". However, when I view this with KGhostVi=
ew=20
the text is displayed vertically. Stange, that with KView it is horisontal.

Any ideas?

Thanks
