Tracebacks (matplotlib version mismatch?)

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. clone the git repository (on Ubuntu 12.04)
2. run the script as of exaplained on the wiki

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The script fails with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

If I fix it by removing str calls:

It runs up to the next traceback:

    self.legend_ = mlegend.Legend(self, handles, labels, **kwargs)

It runs then fine if I remove this fontsize argument.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


My system is an Ubuntu 12.04 (using matplotlib 1.1.1, but I've also tried 
with matplotlib 1.3)

Hello David,

thanks for reporting the issue. I was able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 
12.04 TLS with matplotlib 1.1.1. The problem is caused by the matplotlib 
version. I'm developing the tool using matplotlib 1.2.0 and it seems matplotlib 
1.1 does not support the legend for the scatter plot. I was able to get rid of 
the problem by updating to matplotlib with following steps.

# apt-get install python-pip libfreetype6-dev libpng12-devq
# pip install -U distribute
# pip install -U matplotlib

Please verify your matplotlib is actually in version 1.3. 
$ pip freeze | grep matplotlib
matplotlib==1.3.0

If you see a warning about number of opened figures in matplotlib 1.3, please 
update to the latest git version. If updating to 1.3 does not fix the issue for 
you, feel free to reopen this bug.

Petr
