Thanks Gael. Pierre already supplied me with a ETS 2.8 build, the decorations.py is identical to the one you attatched in your mail.

Now, the plot looks better in terms of aspect ratio, but the axes don't fit: http://i37.tinypic.com/2jayljn.png <- the values go from 0 to 50, but the axes obviously are too large. (to reconstruct: "from numpy import array;from enthought.mayavi.mlab import surf;surf(array([[x*x+y*y for x in range(-5,5)] for y in range(-5,5)]))" )

Also,is it possible to activate some kind of polynomial/spline interpolation instead of linear? the enthought.tvtk.tools.mlab.SurfRegular method seems to do this: http://i35.tinypic.com/2wnyb2a.png <- the surface looks more "smooth"

Anyways, thanks again, cheers

Thomas

No :(. This is a bug we fixed recently. I had forgotten about it.

I can't help you here. I don't have a windows box available right now (I
am travelling), and anyhow, I really don't know how to build these
packages under windows. I know Pierre tried, and failed when it came to
building kiva.

What we can do, is try to backport these modifications. I have attached a
"decorations.py", which you should put in you
"python25/lib/site-packages/enthought.mayavi/enthought/mayavi/tools/"
directory (backup the existing decorations.py, just in case this break
everything). Hopefully this will get axes working properly. I haven't had
time to have a look at this closely, and I must run right now.

Cheers,

Gaël
