Description (last modified by mmckerns) (diff)
dynamic plots using matplotlib not working on Mac
Impacts:
- trunk, mystic-0.1a1 release
Symptoms:
- python example02.py {is OK}
- python example04.py {blank plot hangs at getch, mystic continues, 'Ctrl-C' shows plot during solver run}
- python example09.py {blank plot hangs at getch, mystic continues, 'Ctrl-C' or 'call' shows plot during solver run}
However, it might just be a bad install of matplotlib...

apparently, this is due to a known issue with the refresh rate of the different matplotlib backends (see https://svn.enthought.com/epd/ticket/275).
A workaround is to run the examples with the TKAgg backend, like this:
$ python example04.py -dTKAgg
Should also add a note on the tutorials/installation page.
