Matplotlib requires numpy, a packagefor handling large numerical arrays and performing operations such aslinear algebra, random number generation, and Fourier transforms. The currentrelease of matplotlib, version 1.3.1, requires numpy version 1.5 or later,and numpy itself requires Python version 2.6 or later.
Download and Installation¶ The following instructions are for user that just want to run MAVProxy. Developers should look at the Developer’s Guide for setting up the development environment. MAVProxy is distributed as a Python package (see PyPI) and can run under Python 2 or 3. A number of pre-requisite packages are required to run MAVProxy. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Download matplotlib for Mac 2.1.0 for Mac. Fast downloads of the latest free software! The only prerequisite for NumPy is Python itself. If you don’t have Python yet and want the simplest way to get started, we recommend you use the Anaconda Distribution - it includes Python, NumPy, and other commonly used packages for scientific computing and data science. NumPy can be installed with conda, with pip, or with a package manager on macOS and Linux. Matplotlib mac free download. Matplotlib Matplotlib is a python library for making publication quality plots using a syntax familiar to MATLA.
Installation Instructions
Typically, you install matplotlib by downloading an installer fromSource Forge.On Microsoft Windows and Linux, you need to make sure that you haveNumeric Pythonalready installed, and that you select the appropriate version of theinstaller (e.g., 32- vs. 64-bit, Python version, etc). Then you just runthe installer and the result will be a working matplotlib module.Matplotlib Download Website
On OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), both numpy and matplotlibcome pre-installed by Apple, so you do not need to do anything.On earlier OS X releases, the easiest way to install these packages is to installEnthoughtCanopy Express, which is an 'open and intuitive environmentfor technical and scientific computing.' Canopy Express consistsof Python and over 30 packages, including matplotlib andnumpy, and installs in the /Application directory. The mainthing to remember is that the Canopy Express version of Pythondiffers from the system Python shipped by Apple. (Canopy Express isthe free version of the package. There is also Canopy which includeseven more packages and may be used freely with an academic license.)
On Windows, Canopy Express is installed in C:Python27,which is the same location as the installer from python.org. (If you alreadyhave Python 2.7 installed, you will probably want to uninstall itbefore installing Canopy Express.)python.exe and pythonw.exe in the installfolder are the Python executables.When run, python.exewill display a console window (generally what you want)while pythonw.exe will not (useful whenrunning a program with a graphical user interface).
Old Installation Notes:
Instructions in this section are for historical reference purposes only.For new installations of matplotlib, please follow the Installation Instructions above.
OS X 10.7 (Lion) and OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion):
As of October 20, 2011, the Source Forge installer for matplotlib doesnot work with all releases of Mac OS X and, in particular, not with 10.7 (Lion).The problems arise from incompatible binaries and system libraries.Therefore, as an alternative to installing just matplotlib, you can install acomplete Python distributionfrom Enthought. This approach also worksfor earlier versions of OS X, and because it includes many other useful Python packagesis now the preferred solution for all versions of OS X prior to 10.9,and can be used for Windows and Linux too.
The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) includes not only Python, but alsoover 90 librariesincluding matplotlib.Students or employees from degree-granting institutions may use these[Enthought Python Distributions] for an extended period free of cost.The EPD download pagehas anbutton at the bottom; if you click this button and enteryour UCSF e-mail address, you will receive a mail message with the linkfor downloading an EPD installer.The installer is over 200MB in size and expands to over 1GB when installed.
On the Mac, EPD is installed in /Applications/Enthought, which containsapps and examples, and in /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework.The main hurdle with using Enthought Python on Mac OS X is that their Tkinteruses the X11 window system rather thanthe native Apple window system. For example, on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)which by default does not have X11 installed, attempts to use Tkinter,e.g., using the swampy package, will bring up a dialog saying thatX11 is no longer distributed with Mac OS X and that X11 must beobtained from http://xquartz.macosforge.org. The X11 download is namedXQuartz-2.7.4.dmg (or perhaps a newer version) which containsXQuartz.pkg; doubleclicking on the .dmg file willopen it in Finder, and doubleclicking on the .pkg filewill install X11. (You may need to restart your computer to guarantee thatthe proper background processes are running.)Once X11 is installed, doubleclicking on IDLE (64-bit)in /Applications/Enthoughtwill start up Python'sIntegratedDeveLopment Environment.Even without X11 installed, you candoubleclick on QtConsole (64-bit)to start up anIPython intepreter using the native Mac OS X window system. (The IPython interpreter handles a superset of the Pythonlanguage, so you can treat it the same as a regular Python interpreter.If you use Qt rather than Tkinter as your graphical interface toolkit,you should not need to install X11.)The EPD installer also updates your shell setup so that typing python in aTerminal window will invoke EPD Python rather than the system Python.
OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard):
Snow Leopard comes with Python 2.6.1 and numpy 1.2.1, so these versions are just fine.All you have to do is download this matplotlib packagebuilt especially for OS X 10.6 and install it. To install the package, save the fileand double click it, which will run the Installer. When the 'Select a Destination' panelin the Installer appears, click on 'Install for all users of this computer' and clickContinue. You will also need to enter the administrator password for your computer.
OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
Leopard includes Python version 2.5.1, but it unfortunately includes an olderreplease of numpy (1.0.1) that is not compatible with matplotlib. To makematters worse, Leopard keeps Python together with other Mac 'system' filesand this makes it difficult to just download and install a newer release ofnumpy. (If you try to install numpy 1.2.1 on OS X 10.5 you'll get the ratherobscure error message 'numpy requires python.org Framework Build Python2.5 to install.')The easiest approach is just to go the python.org web site, download and installPython 2.6.2,then download and installnumpy 1.3.0,and finally download and installmatplotlib 0.99.1.1.The only disadvantage of this approach is that you'll use up a littlemore disk space by having two copies of Python installed on your computer,but most systems have plenty of space available and so this is not reallya problem.
Windows:
Microsoft Windows doesn't come with any version of Python pre-installed and theeasiest approach is just to install Canopy Express as described above.
Regardless of what operating system you're using, try running this simplePython script to verify that matplotlib is working properly:This creates a simple histogram of 1,000 zero-mean, unit-varianceGaussian random numbers generated by the randn() function.Troubleshooting
If you run into problems installing matplotlib or one of the other packages mentionedabove, the easier thing to do is come see one of thecourse instructors for help.
