ROI

[carlitomu]

HI,
I can't draw a different ROI for every single video in my project.
When a draw a new ROI in a video, the others ROI disappears from the Region of Interest Settings .

I can only draw a "unique" ROI and the apply (without any changes) to all the videos (through the "Apply to all" button).

I'm using simba 0.87.7 (I followed this suggestion) on a mac (OS 10.13.6).

Carlo.

Hi @carlitomu thanks for reporting - can you update simba to the latest version pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --upgrade or pip install simba-uw-tf-dev==0.91.8 and let me know if that fixes the issue?

[carlitomu]

Thanks.

I tried to update simba to the latest version (pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --upgrade) and to 0.91.8 release, but it doesn't work.
I get this error message:

[sronilsson]

I see - not immediately familiar with this error but can you try pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --upgrade --no-deps and let me know if that works?

[carlitomu]

no, it doesn't work and I get the same error message.

@carlitomu - I gave it a go on macos and see if I could replicate and did not see the issue, so may not be a general bug...

(i) Can you try the solution with these three commands?
matplotlib/matplotlib#16700

(ii) If that does not work, could you try to create a new conda python3.6 environment, run pip install simba-uw-tf-dev, and see if that fixes it?

(I) I tried this solution, uninstalling and installing matplotlib and I get this error message

So I uninstalled matplotib again and numpy, Pillow and shapely. Then I installed the required versions of these packages, getting a new error message:

(II) I tried all your solution in a new conda environments!

[sronilsson]

Thanks - the warnings should not be an issue ans appears to be related to version of matplotlib. Can you try this answer and see if it boots up?

So first either pip uninstall matplotlib or conda remove --force matplotlib
Followed by either pip install matplotlib==3.0.3 or conda install matplotlib=3.0.3

[carlitomu]

mhm, as I wrote earlier, I'have just tried and installed that matplotlib version.

So again the message error is this one:

[sronilsson]

Sorry read it too quickly, did you also try to install matplotlib through conda rather than pip?

[carlitomu]

yes, with conda I get a new one:

I see thanks for troubleshooting, might be some compatibility issue with older MacOS version, as I'm running 12.x, I will get back to you tomorrow

[carlitomu]

Ok, thanks!

[sronilsson]

Right I did a bit of reading - and seems to be a known issue on some more dated macOS versions with the specific matplotlob and tkinter versions required by simba… what confuses me is that the older versions of simba seems to run on your computer, while the reason one does not, and I have made no changes to any dependencies...

You could try and:

(i) update your MacOS - this is probably the more ardous suggestion so understand if you don’t want to go down that route…

(ii) See if you can get it running using python 3.7 or 3.8 in conda instead of python 3.6. This ensures that you have a different version of tkinter so might avoid the clash. I confimed it runs on my MacOS in python 3.7 (but I have MacOS 12.3.1).

Hi, finally I have decided to run simba on another workstation with Windows.
In any case, thank you for your help!

[sronilsson]

Thanks for letting me know @carlitomu, very helpful - I'll make a note about this in the FAQ
