Re: [Matplotlib-users] display pixels values on the backends
Hi, I have already asked about that but I'm back once again :) The way I use matplotlib may be a corner case: I'm often looking at large (4k x 4k) images and I do want to see the pixels values moving the mouse over the display. imshow does a great job but all the backend only display x= y=. I would love to see x= y= Z= (or value=...call it the way you want ;)) What is the best way to do that? imshow is great because there is nothing to connect to see x and y values on the backend. I need to code something as simple as imshow to get also the pixel values. The easiest way I can think of is to override Axes.format_coord method. A pseudo code might look like below def report_pixel(x, y): # get the pixel value v = get_pixel_value_of_your_image(x,y) return x=%f y=%f value=%f % (x, y, v) ax = gca() ax.format_coord = report_pixel The code will become more complicated if you want to support multiple images. This solution is far from elegant, but maybe the easiest one. -JJ Is there really on way to get that as a new option in imshow? at least in one of the backend (as a starting point) Best Regards, Xavier Thanks it does work but I still wonder why it is not an option in imshow Xavier -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
