Glue will not open the Tutorial file w5.fits.

[SCO-SCI]

Installed glueviz into Anaconda environment using exact commands in the instructions. No errors.

Went through initial debugging steps recommended in instructions. No errors.

Am now trying to go through the tutorial which uses the fits image file w5.fits. I import the data into glue and drag w5.fits onto the screen. I select 2D Image and that is where the errors occur. No image opens.

Details:

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2
Python Version: 3.8.18
Anaconda Version: 24.7.1
Glue Version: 1.2.0

That is a known incompatibility with matplotlib 3.5+, fixed in #2250 for 1.2.1 – you have 1.2.0, but the conda install should give you at least 1.2.4. Not sure if that is an issue with Anaconda, Windows, Python 3.8 or everything together. Could you try to

• re-run explicitly conda install --update-all glueviz=1.2.4
• consider updating the Python version – a fresh Anaconda installation seems to come with 3.12.4 now. This will probably not give you a more up-to-date glue version with this channel, but newer versions for many other packages that no longer support 3.8 or 3.9.

[SCO-SCI]

Yes, that worked fine. I believe you are right, there must be a bug in Conda because Conda installs glueviz 1.2.0 by default. Once I updated glue to 1.2.4 the problem was fixed. By the way, I could only get it working on Python 3.9. I tried 3.10, 11, 12, and 12.4, but glue would not start in those environments. The combination that appears to work is Python 3.9 and glueviz 1.2.4. Thanks for your help.

[dhomeier]

Thanks for the feedback! 3.9 should get you a good bit further; probably need to investigate further how to bring the glueviz conda channel fully up to date, or update the installation instructions to use miniconda+condaforge or another channel.
