JC, You can create your own matplotlibrc. It does not have to exist. j On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 8:14 PM, Jean-Claude Passy wrote:

Hi Matt,

unfortunately, I am running on a Linux machine and my variable display is correctly set. However, I cannot find the file matplotlibrc:

------------------------------------------------------ [20:02:45] helix:$ ls ~/.matplotlib/ fontList.cache  tex.cache  tmp66z1Qv ------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

JC

Hi JC,

That's a puzzle!  Are you by any chance running on a Mac, which uses the native OSX Ipython backend?  If you look in the scripts/iyt file, you can see how we try to set it all up:

http://hg.enzotools.org/yt/src/dacea37d5f8b/scripts/iyt

lines 13-35.  Right now it looks like it only knows how to set it up on Linux, or using X11 on OSX.  If you modify it so that it tries grabbing the OSX backend, that might work for you?  Or maybe check to see if you have DISPLAY set, and have the right rcParams in your ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc ?

I no longer have a Mac, so I can't test this directly, but I believe that's the trouble spot, right there.

Hi all,

I am analyzing some MESA data using iyt instead of a regular ipython. Everything works well except that when I make a plot with yt, control is not returning to the prompt. I have tried to start yt with different thread options (-gthread, -qthread, -q4thread and -wthread) but none of them worked. My version of yt is built with python 2.7.1. The weird thing is that it works smoothly with a regular version of ipython built from python 2.6.4.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me to fix this. I would like to keep using yt and not have to change all my settings.

Thanks a lot,
