Dear All, I am posting this after a discussion originated on the matplotlib mailing list. Fundamentally, I need to plot data on irregular (i.e. non equi-spaced rectangular) grids. I finally was recommended to look at the Delaunay package (see approach2 at the link:
http://scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Gridding_irregularly_spaced_data ).
The problem is that the approach:
from scipy.sandbox.delaunay import *
does not work (the system does not find the requested module).
Now, I am running Debian testing on my box and I have Python2.3,2.4,2.5 installed beside SciPy as taken from the standard repositories. Under /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sandbox I have the file setup.py which I copy and paste at the end of the email. I try uncommenting the line dealing with Delaunay, but that did not help me out (probably it is useful only if I am rebuilding SciPy, which I would like to avoid). Anyone has experienced the same problem or has any suggestions?
You will have to rebuild. Follow the instructions here:
# You can put a list of modules you want to always enable in the # file 'enabled_packages.txt' in this directory (you'll have to create it). # Since this isn't under version control, it's less likely you'll # check it in and screw other people up :-)
