Some examples dont work (segfault and std::runtime_error)

[2shaar2059]

I cloned the repo, made a build directory and made all of the examples. When trying to run them, however, certain ones worked and others didnt. The ones that simply segfaulted still displayed a plot. the ones that resulted in a runtime error didnt even show a plot.

System: OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS x86_64 Kernel: 5.4.0-113-generic "python3 --version" gives Python 3.8.10

I ran into a similar error to yours, my bug report is:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' ，what(): No axis

The reason for my error is that Ubuntu installed matplotlib in two ways:

sudo pip3 install matplotlib
sudo apt install python3-matplotlib

Therefore, one of them should be uninstalled when performing 3D drawing, so I executed:

sudo pip3 uninstall matplotlib

After that it ran successfully.

I am seeing the same problem and this solution did not work for me. I am running on Windows and I have only one installation of matplotlib. It's version 3.7.1.

Same error for me. Arch linux with python 3.10.10 here's the backtrace from gdb: (gdb) bt #0 __pthread_kill_implementation (threadid=, signo=signo@entry=6, no_tid=no_tid@entry=0) at pthread_kill.c:44 #1 0x00007ffff74a0953 in __pthread_kill_internal (signo=6, threadid=) at pthread_kill.c:78 #2 0x00007ffff7451ea8 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:26 #3 0x00007ffff743b53d in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79 #4 0x00007ffff769a833 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler () at /usr/src/debug/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/vterminate.cc:95 #5 0x00007ffff76a6d0c in __cxxabiv1::__terminate (handler=) at /usr/src/debug/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_terminate.cc:48 #6 0x00007ffff76a6d79 in std::terminate () at /usr/src/debug/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_terminate.cc:58 #7 0x00007ffff76a6fdd in __cxxabiv1::__cxa_throw (obj=, tinfo=0x555555562d60 <typeinfo for std::runtime_error@GLIBCXX_3.4>, dest=0x7ffff76be480 std::runtime_error::~runtime_error()) at /usr/src/debug/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_throw.cc:98 #8 0x000055555555a369 in matplotlibcpp::plot_surface (x=std::vector of length 41, capacity 64 = {...}, y=std::vector of length 41, capacity 64 = {...}, z=std::vector of length 41, capacity 64 = {...}, keywords=std::map with 0 elements, fig_number=0) at ../matplotlibcpp.h:567 #9 0x00005555555569e7 in main () at surface.cpp:22

And, I've got a fix for this issue. see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76077363/why-does-matplotlib-cpp-throw-runtime-exceptions-in-the-3d-examples

Same issue. It seem because python matplotlib API has changed. I change matplotlib 3.7.2 to matplotlib 3.6.1 and it works.
