GUI backend MATPLOTLIB in Sage
Dear all,
- UPDATED:
How can one export the data (a object) 'matplotlib.figure.Figure' the namespace of Sagemath to IPython? Can the data be saved in a format (not png, pdf, etc.) that can be opened in IPython using the function show()?
Here is a related Question. I have followed this instruction step by step, every step was successfully executed without any error report/message. However I couldn't invoke TkAgg as Backend of Sagemath nor IPython.
Has SAGE a GUI back-end as MATPLOTLIB, on which one can zoom, select points etc.?
for example,
sage: bodes['entire']
<matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x91ac950>
sage: bodes['entire'].show()
# It doesn't work and a Warning occurs.
/opt/sagemath/sage-6.1.1-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.7/
site-packages/matplotlib/figure.py:362: UserWarning: matplotlib is
currently using a non-GUI backend, so cannot show the figure
"matplotlib is currently using a non-GUI backend, "
sage: f = bodes['entire']
sage: f.savefig('./figures/entire.png')
# I can only save my plotting in formats : png, pdf, etc..
Thank you all in advance!
Only steps 6 to 9 are important because by default matplotlib is built without GUI support within Sage. It worked for me. Try again with removing all related to TkAgg.
