Problems with pyreport and plot output

[kgmuller]

I can't get pyreport to include matplotlib plots.

My OS is Ubuntu 8.10. The pyreport version is shown as "pyreport
0.2.11". Python 2.5 is installed.

I set the easyviz backend to matplotlib. When I run pyreport with a
matplotlib plot and show(), I get the output:

Running python script /home/kgmuller/Desktop/plot_wavepacket.py:

Here goes figure plot_wavepacket_pyreport_0.png
scitools.easyviz backend is matplotlib

Outputing report to /home/kgmuller/Desktop/plot_wavepacket.html
<string>:18: (ERROR/3) Error in "image" directive:
no content permitted.

.. image:: plot_wavepacket_pyreport_0.png

scitools.easyviz backend is matplotlib

Thanks for your help!

Do you use the python-matplotlib package from the Ubuntu repository or
have you built Matplotlib manually? And have you installed the
python-scitools package as described in the wiki [0]?

Sorry, I have never seen this error before, however, I tried the same
as you now on a clean Intrepid installation and I had no issues with
pyreport and the Matplotlib backend. Here is what I did:

First I installed python-scitools as described in [0]. Then Iinstalled
python-matplotlib from the Ubuntu repository. I also had to install
python-docutils (required by pyreport) and texlive-latex-extra. Then I
ran

SCITOOLS_easyviz_backend=matplotlib pyreport plot_wavepacket.py

where plot_wavepacket.py is given as:

from scitools.std import *

def f(x, t):
return exp(-(x-3*t)**2)*sin(3*pi*(x-t))

xmax = 4
x = linspace(-xmax, xmax, 1001)
y = f(x, 0)
plot(x, y)
show()
