AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

Hi, Megan-

Thanks for sending that information.

There is a Python error that shows up:
ValueError: Format 'jpg' is not supported (supported formats: eps, pdf, pgf, png, ps, raw, rgba, svg, svgz)

The bad news: the default package manager in Ubuntu 20.04 (Aptitude) distributes a version of Matplotlib, 3.1.2, that contains this error when trying to make JPGs:
[bugs.launchpad.net]
I don't know why they haven't fixed it, and it is the root cause of the error here. From your afni_system_check.py output, that does appear to be the Matplotlib version you have.

The good news: there is a fix. Can you please run the following on your computer (requires the admin/sudo password):
sudo apt-get install pip
sudo apt-get remove python3-matplotlib
pip install matplotlib

That should get you matplotlib ver=3.6.2 (or so), and Python can now generate JPG images. (Why Ubuntu didn't make the bug-free version of matplotlib its default... I don't know.)

Then you can go into an afni_proc.py (AP) results directory, and do:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/afni/afni/master/src/ptaylor/supplement/redo_apqc.tcsh
tcsh redo_apqc.tcsh
... to regenerate the QC directory there. Under the 'mot' block and in other places in the HTML, you should now see lots of line plots.
