[Matplotlib-users] how to stop resize when adding scatter plot?
Hi, I have an application that draws a line plot of a spectrum. When the spectrum is collected different gains and filters may be used for each data point (which I have also collected). I am looking at artefacts in the spectrum and trying to correlate them with things such as the gain and filter changes etc. On the application I have a number of radio buttons, when clicked will add a scatter plot of the datapoints but color coded by the item of interest. i.e. click the gain btn I end up with the line plot, and each data point has a color coded dot whose color is keyed to the gain the data point was taken at. click the filter btn I remove the gain scatter plot, and add a filter scatter plot where each data point is color coded with the filter used. This functionality work fine. However if I am zoomed in on my graph looking at detail, then click the radio button, the scatter plot forces the graph to resize to once again show the overall intial view (zoomed out). I am wondering how can I add the scatter plot, without changing the current view (zoom level) that I am currently using, but still add all the scatter plot data? Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to stop resize when adding scatter plot?
Stephen, Most likely, the program isn't really going back to the original axes as much that it is automatically setting the axes to fit all the data from the new plot (which would likely be the original axes, but only by coincidence). I am sure there is some sort of easy way to do this, but the brute-force way would be for any action to create a plot to first check and see what the current x and y lims are and save them to temporary variables. Then, after creating the plots, call set the x and y lims from the temporary variables. Note that there might be an issue with the first graph, because you don't want to set the axes after creating the graph using the information prior to the graphing. I don't know how one would detect that, besides some sort of counter and an if-statement. Maybe someone else has a better way?

Try using: axes.set_autoscale_on(False) Thank you very much, this does exactly what I was after. I call this BEFORE adding my scatter plot, and the current view (zoom in) remains. Much appreciated, thanks again - Steve -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway. ONE MASSIVE PRIZE to the lucky parental unit.
