windows下安装python库matplotlib

首先，本人只安装了标准版Python，在安装matplotlib时，遇到没有freetype和png的错误提示，经各种查找，最终在Stack Overflow上找到解决方法

I was able to solve this on Windows by doing the following: set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\tmp\msvcr90-x32 set LIB=%LIB%;C:\tmp\msvcr90-x32 pip.exe install matplotlib The link libraries for Freetype on windows can be found here:http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib (from meawoppl's comment) Just download the "matplotlib‑1.x‑windows‑link‑libraries.zip", and open the README from the zip.

网上资料查找还发现，如果安装了加强版的Python，或许就不会出现这种问题

如果你已经安装了python，你可能考虑使用加强版的python,如：Enthought Python.它把scipy,numpy,wxpython以及一些有用的包都预安装了。使用加强版的python和matplotlib安装，下面这些后端都会轻松自动安装：agg, wx, wxagg, tkagg, ps, pdf和svg.
