Maybe your or someone from this list can help me understand more about
this. So, if I take the code that I have adapted to my purposes, there are
questions I have about it:
# constants
dpi = 72; imageSize = (32,32)
# read in our png file
im = image.imread('redX_10.png')
So far, so good--just setting the dpi and getting the image.
fig = self.figure
ax = self.subplot
ax.get_frame().set_alpha(0)
Does the current version of Matplotlib require the frame be set to fully
transparent? I need a white canvas, so I think I'd rather not do that.
# translate point positions to pixel positions
# figimage needs pixels not points
line = self.line_collections_list[0][0]
"line" here is my line of datapoints from elsewhere in my app.
line._transform_path()
path, affine =
line._transformed_path.get_transformed_points_and_affine()
path = affine.transform_path(path)
I have no understanding of the purpose of the previous three lines. Can
someone give me a quick explanation?
for pixelPoint in path.vertices:
# place image at point, centering it
fig.figimage(im,pixelPoint[0]+80,pixelPoint[1]+180,origin="upper")
This is just a way to put the image somewhere on my canvas to see it, so
these offsets are just for this exercise.
I should state that if I do it this way, the images appear on the canvas
but are NOT repositioned in data coordinates (and they should be)--which is
probably just Ben's point, right?
Thanks,
Che
