[SciPy-dev] scipy plt can only plot once?

[Kevin Altis]

I'm new to scipy, but I'm trying out the tutorials with PythonCard (which
uses wxPython 2.3.x) and PyCrust 0.6 as the shell. I get the following error
when I try the example as shown on the screenshots page.

>>> from scipy import plt
>>> from scipy import *
>>> from RandomArray import normal
>>> img = plt.lena()
>>> plt.image(img)
<wxPython imported>
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python21\scipy\plt\interface.py", line 427, in image
    axis('equal')
  File "C:\Python21\scipy\plt\interface.py", line 174, in axis
    x_ticks = _active.x_axis.ticks
AttributeError: axis_window instance has no attribute 'ticks'

In addition, the image isn't scaled correctly, probably because of the
exception. If I run the tutorial commands first:
            # create some data to plot
            >>> x = arange(0,5,.5)
            >>> y = special.j1(x)
            >>> plt.plot(x,y)
            <C wxFrame instance at _1e22dd8_wxFrame_p>
            [ a graphics window should appear ]

            # now add some titles
            >>> plt.title('First Order Bessel Function')
            >>> plt.xtitle('x axis')
            >>> plt.ytitle('y axis')
            # and x-axis bounds equal to that of the data
            >>> plt.xaxis('fit')

Then I don't get an error and the image is scaled correctly.
