    <p>I was installing matplotlib to use basemap today when I had to install a lot of stuff to make it work. After installing matplotlib and be able to import it I installed basemap but I can't import basemap because of this error:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap</p> <p>Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/<strong>init</strong>.py", line 36, in from matplotlib.collections import LineCollection File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/collections.py", line 22, in import matplotlib.backend_bases as backend_bases File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backend_bases.py", line 38, in import matplotlib.widgets as widgets File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/widgets.py", line 16, in from lines import Line2D File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/lines.py", line 23, in from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 52, in from matplotlib import ft2font ImportError: dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so Expected in: dynamic lookup</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>So when I tried to import ft2font in python by:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>from matplotlib import ft2font</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>I got this error:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; ImportError: dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so Expected in: dynamic lookup </code></pre> <p>Any idea what to do?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
