MatplotLib Data Directory
-------------------------
For various functions to work, for example
help() -> modules
you need to set the enviromental variable:
$ export MATPLOTLIBDATA=/usr/share/matplotlib/
Change the backend
------------------
From matplotlib version 0.98.3-6 the default backend in Debian is 'TkAgg', the
simplest backend available in most context.
If you want to change it, you have two ways: system wide, changing the file
/etc/matplotlibrc
or on a user basis, changing the file
$HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
to add or modify a line like this:
backend : <backend>
where <backend> can be chosen from this list:
# Default backend, one of: Agg, Cairo, CocoaAgg, GTK, GTKAgg,
# GTKCairo, FltkAgg, Pdf, Ps, QtAgg, Qt4Agg, SVG, TkAgg, WX, WXAgg.
#
# The Agg, Ps, Pdf and SVG backends do not require external
# dependencies. Do not choose GTK, GTKAgg, GTKCairo, TkAgg or WXAgg if
# you have disabled the relevent extension modules.
so usually, you can have a backend if you have the Python bindings installed:
GTK+ -> python-gtk2
Tk -> python-tk
QT -> python-qt3 or python-qt4
WX -> python-wxgtk2.6 or python-wxgtk2.8
