scipy.plt legend?

[gurkesaft]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to use scipy.plt? The documentation is wrong or
out of date at the scipy website, and I can't join their mailing lists
for some reason.

Most importantly, I need to be able to make and manipulate a legend.
The scipy.plt.legend('whatever') command doesn't seem to exist. I
can't even get started!

Thanks,
-Jack

scipy.plt is incredibly obsolete, unmaintained, and deprecated. Don't
use it. Please use matplotlib instead:

Thank you, Robert. I noticed how obsolete it is! There is no
documentation.

Matplotlib freezes my system if I close a plot and make a new one .
Bah. Windows

Anyway, I figured out how to make gnuplot.py do my bidding.

Have you seen the documentation on

http://matplotlib.sf.net/installing.html

In particular, you need to make sure that your backend, shell, and
interactive setting all are harmonious. One suggestion: in your rc
file, try setting 'backend : TkAgg' and 'interactive : True' in your
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc file. Also, beware of using
matplotlib from a GUI IDE which uses a different GUI toolkit than the
one you've selected in your rc file. I realize this is complex -- but
I think it is part and parcel of the curse of python. python supports
6+ GUI toolkits and so matplotlib does too! If the GUI mainloop and
matplotlib mainloop don't agree, bad things can happen.
