“溢出错误：分配了太多块”：

Question

在发布这个问题之前，我检查了所有可能的重复问题并尝试了所有方法，但仍然无法解决问题。

我在 matplotlib 中有一个简单的情节。当我注释掉调用plt.fill_between() 的行时，代码运行良好，但是当我取消注释时，它会抛出溢出错误。

注意：此错误发生在我的 Ubuntu 15.10 笔记本电脑上
但是在 MacOS 中，我尝试了相同的代码，但没有显示错误（令人惊讶！）

更新： 我使用后端作为 TkAgg。

print(mpl.rcParamsDefault)
# Answer is agg.

我的代码如下所示：

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Imports
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# plot values
x = np.arange(0.001, 25.0, 0.01)
A = 4.3
y = np.array( (-1.0/x) + (0.5*A*A/(x**2)) - (A*A/(x**3)) )

# Plots
plt.plot(x,y,color='k')

# Set axes limits
plt.ylim(-0.04,0.06)

# Attempt to resolve OverflowError
plt.rcParams['backend'] = 'TkAgg'  # or, 'qt4agg'
plt.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 100000
# This did not worked!

# Fill the color
plt.fill_between(x, -0.04, y, color='darkgray', alpha=.5)
# If I comment this line there will be no error!

# Show the plot
plt.show()

我尝试的链接如下：

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/5907
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/matplotlibrc.template

浏览这些链接后，我最初的尝试是这样的：

# Attempt to resolve OverflowError
plt.rcParams['backend'] = 'TkAgg'  # or, 'qt4agg'
plt.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 100000
# This did not worked!  

尝试 #2：
我创建了一个文件~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc 然后将以下代码放入其中：

agg.path.chunksize : 10000        # 0 to disable; values in the range
                                  # 10000 to 100000 can improve speed slightly
                                  # and prevent an Agg rendering failure
                                  # when plotting very large data sets,
                                  # especially if they are very gappy.
                                  # It may cause minor artifacts, though.
                                  # A value of 20000 is probably a good
                                  # starting point.

尝试#3：我还安装了模块 seaborn

sudo -H pip install seaborn

并研究了一些文档。

但是，我也找不到解决此问题的方法。

我无法在我的电脑上重现你的错误，但是如果你想改变matplotlib的后端，最好在导入pyplot之前做。

试试：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('TkAgg') # I'd advise testing 'Gtk3Agg' or 'Qt4Agg' (or 5) instead
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
print(mpl.get_backend()) # check that the change occurred

编辑：好的，我发现了问题，这是因为您的功能几乎是不同的，所以matplotlib 认为它有一个巨大的表面要覆盖...尝试：

plt.fill_between(x, -0.04, np.clip(y,-0.04,0.06))
