Subject: [Matplotlib-users] Installation issue
Message-ID: <1543847561054-0.post@n5.nabble.com>

Dear all,

I'm trying to install matplotlib on my pc (Windows 10). I got this error:

$ python buildall.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "buildall.py", line 58, in <module>
    main(options)
  File "buildall.py", line 11, in main
    utils.build_zlib()
  File
"C:\Users\laj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib-winbuild\utils.py",
line 136, in build_zlib
    cmd.write(prepare_build_cmd(ZLIB_BUILD_CMD))
  File
"C:\Users\laj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib-winbuild\utils.py",
line 63, in prepare_build_cmd
    raise RuntimeError('Microsoft VS {} required'.format('2010' if VS2010
else '2008'))
RuntimeError: Microsoft VS 2010 required

I already have "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable" installed (I have
2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 installed). What shall I do?

Thank you very much!

This seems to be an issue with
https://github.com/jbmohler/matplotlib-winbuild. You might want to check
there first.

I have already followed all that instructions...But still it gaves me this
error and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong ??

What I believe Ben means is that since the matplotlib development team
doesn't maintain those scripts, this list isn't the best place for your
question (as odd as that may seem). My recommendation would be to the look
through the open issues at the matplitlib-winbuild repository and check if
someone having a similar issue has figured out a solution. If not, you
could create a new issue at the repository explaining your predicament.

If you are using conda it may also be worth looking at the recipe build
script and / or the installation.

Our official window install install instructions (
https://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html#build-windows ) point at
matplotlib-winbuild so I think this is our problem to either fix or own
complete install documentation in our docs.

I would suggest removing the link to mpl-winbuild (which appears to not
have been updated for 4 years) and state something to the effect of
- either use the built wheels/conda packages (I think this is what the OP
needs)
- or use conda to get libpng set up
- or set it up on your own.
Once libpng and a recent enough MSVC are present, building Matplotlib
oneself is "reasonably" straightforward.

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] Color Cycle Survey
Message-ID: <CA+AUZN=6Ev7pPtfaWCaZz7S8NRhSh2QGGUOtT3YBa7mXssrEwA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

For the past year or so, I've been working on techniques for generating
visually pleasing colorblind-friendly color cycles, since I find the
current default difficult to interpret (see [1] for details). The
colorblind-friendly aspect can be solved through technical means, by
enforcing minimum perceptual distances in combination with color vision
deficiency simulations, but the aesthetic preference aspect is subjective
and requires a different approach. To this end, I've created a survey for
collecting the data necessary for creating a model of general aesthetic
preference for color cycles:

https://colorcyclesurvey.mpetroff.net/

As the usefulness of this approach hinges on collecting enough data [2],
I'd appreciate folks taking the survey. Feedback on the survey or the
general approach taken would also be appreciated (there's an issue tracker
[3]). Thanks.

Thanks for this work, Matthew! I'm excited about this. For what it's worth, though (probably not much), in the 11 tries I had, I don't think I liked any of the cycles as much as the one in this comment [1], which I think is close to perfect: 
 
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/9460#issuecomment-377312565 
 
But I am not colorblind nor have I worked in this space so I defer to the data. =) 
 
Thanks again,
 
Juan.

I spent something like two minutes creating that color cycle for the sole
purpose of creating the screenshot and don't consider myself much of a
designer, so I'm glad you like it.

The color vision deficiency simulation strength used for that cycle (50%)
was less than what was used to generate the sets used in the survey (100%),
so that may be a contributing factor (a minimum perceptual distance of 18
was used for both). However, I think it's mostly just that of all the
possible color cycles, many more look bad than good. If all goes well, the
survey data can be used to create a model of what looks good, although it's
still an experiment, so there are no guarantees.

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] Multiple colors in pie chart labels
Message-ID: <CAHTSeR7uc4_L+1jdD2nbW2gbT1osoCW19xjHmqSDxtAn27UWxw@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings Users,

I would like to have my pie wedge labels be the same color as the
associated wedge, is there a way to do this? If not, is there a way to
determine where a pie wedge is so that I could anchor a text box to it and
achieve a similar result?

Thank you!
