Viewer tests were cool.

Few problems:

examples/phase/impingement/mesh20x20.py

broken for gnuplot viewer, get funny tex warnings for matplotlib, broken with mayavi, but works with gist.

All the examples/levelSet/electroChem are broken.

examples/phase/impingement/mesh20x20.py seems fine with matplotlib.

examples/diffusion/mesh1D.py is currently broken due to an issue with importing scipy.special before pylab.

   >>> import scipy.special
   >>> import pylab
C:\pythonxy\python\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_qt4agg.py in <module>()
10
11 from backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg
---> 12 from backend_qt4 import QtCore, QtGui, FigureManagerQT, FigureCanvasQT,\
13      show, draw_if_interactive, backend_version, \
14      NavigationToolbar2QT

C:\pythonxy\python\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_qt4.py in <module>()
14 from matplotlib.widgets import SubplotTool
15
---> 16 from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, Qt
17
18 backend_version = "0.9.1"

ImportError: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory location.

If the import is done before scipy special is imported it works fine.

All the other examples from the manual work fine with matplotlib.

However, mayavi 1 is broken. On import, it throws the following error.

In [1]: import mayavi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

C:\Documents and Settings\wd15\<ipython console> in <module>()

C:\pythonxy\python\scripts\mayavi.pyc in <module>()
297     MayaViTkGUI = Main.MayaViTkGUI
298 else:
--> 299     MayaViTkGUI = mayavi.Main.MayaViTkGUI
300
301

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Main'

I also had to install mayavi 1 separately from pythonxy. Pythonxy acrtually comes with mayavi2. We need to update to mayavi2 at this point. Mayavi remains unresolved on Windows for now.

I think the viewers on apple need to be checked and then we're done with this ticket.
