AttributeError: 'Bbox' object has no attribute 'intersection' about adjusttext HOT 8 CLOSED

Can you please show the full traceback? And a minimal reproducible example?

from adjusttext.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from adjustText import *
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(0)
x, y = np.random.random((2,30))
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.plot(x, y, 'bo')
texts = [plt.text(x[i], y[i], 'Text%s' %i, ha='center', va='center') for i in range(len(x))]
adjust_text(texts)

The above code is saved in a file named test.py on the company's server in the folder /home/p57400/ERSSatisfaction/code/. I then executed the code using below command:
/usr/hdp/2.5.3.0-37/spark/bin/spark-submit /home/p57400/ERSSatisfaction/code/test.py
And below is the error I got after I executed it:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Since I did not see the implementation of function "intersection" anywhere in your code, so is it a function you imported from somewhere else? Also, since I use /usr/hdp/2.5.3.0-37/spark/bin/spark-submit to execute my code, that means the code is running in Pyspark environment. I am not sure if that is the reason causing my issue.

Thanks,

I can't reproduce this... And I don't know anything about Pyspark, and whether this can cause such issues, sorry.

Intersection is a built-in method of matplotlib BBoxes, so this is very strange.

Can you try to install the package withpip --user? You shouldn't need any privileges for that.

can you please check your matplotlib version? I am thinking my version (which is 1.2.0) is too old to have intersection function. You can use below commands to find out the version:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.version

from adjusttext.

Wow 1.2??? Yeah, mine is 2.2.2, that's is probably the problem. 1.2 is a very old version!

I upgraded matplotlib to 2.2.3 and now it is good. Thank you for the great package!!

from adjusttext.

Great, thanks for letting me know!
