Issue with displaying dipoles

💬 Support & Discussions

When I tried to display the dipoles using


 fig = mne.viz.plot_dipole_locations(dipoles=dip, mode='arrow', subject=subject,
                                    color=(0.2, 1., 0.5), fig=fig)

I got an error that said :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I fix this?

Can you please post the output of

import mne
mne.sys_info()

Generally it’s a good idea to always include this with a new question, as even if we don’t end up needing that info eventually, it saves one round of back-and-forth in cases where we do need it.

Also, do you think you can provide a minimal working example that reproduces the problem, ideally with a publicly available dataset like the MNE sample data?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi @richard, this is my system specification. I was able to work with the MNE sample data but my own data gave me the above mentioned error

Can you try this with a fresh installation of MNE 1.0.3, preferably with one of our installers?
