Eric and John,
Thanks for the information. You are right that this probably would have been a

to me as I was writing the data-scaling part of my script.
The script is intended to be somewhat interactive. Initial tests suggest that
plotting or updating several subplots from memory does take a quite
noticeable time (e.g. 1.2 -- 1.5 seconds for 3 subplots of 1 points) that
will probably become annoying in routine use. As you indicated, basically all
that time is spent within matplotlib. I'm just using standard default calls:
for i in subplot
subplot
plot
xlabel
ylabel
title
Each of these calls seems to take roughly the same time (60--100ms). If
It sounds like you have interactive mode on, in which case each pylab
function redraws the figure. The solution is to use the object-oriented
interface for almost everything. See the attached example.
anybody has pointers on speeding things up significantly, I'm all ears.
(Predefining data limits? Using lower-level commands? Use of a non-default
backend?)
If the suggestion above is not enough, we will need to know more about
what your script looks like, the environment in which it is running
(e.g., ipython? embedded in wx? straight command line? what operating
system? what backend?), your constraints, and what you are trying to
accomplish. The best thing would be if you could post a very short
self-contained script, typically using fake random data, that shows your
present approach and that illustrates the speed problem; then we can try
to figure out what the bottlenecks are, and whether there are simple
ways to speed up the script or to modify mpl for better speed.

import time

Hi Mathieu, I just wanted to add a little bit to Jae-Joon's example. I feel like I have to relearn the axes transformations every time I deal with them. Your email reminded me to write things down, and I thought I'd share it, in case others find it useful. Let me know if anything is wrong/ unclear. Best, -Tony = Axes Transformations Tutorial = The new transformations infrastructure is documented in the `new docs`_ (still in progress...), which talks about transformations *in general*. This document talks about transforms that are pre-defined attributes of `axes`. The following explanation is partially stolen from a mailing list reply by Michael Droettboom. In the following, data space the actual `x, y` input data coordinates axes space the axes coordinates which are `([0, 0], [1, 1])` at `([xmin,ymin], [xmax, ymax])` figure space the screen pixel coordinates. .. _new docs: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/devel/ transformations.html `matplotlib.axes` transforms `transScale` scales data to account for nonlinearities (non-affine) in the axis scales, e.g. log-log and semi-log scales. For example, `transScale.transform` would convert `x = [1, 10, 100, 1000]` to `[1, 2, 3, 4]` (powers of ten) if the x-axis is logarithmically spaced. `transLimits` scales the data to the currently "zoomed" in portion of the data. `transScale + transLimits` maps data space to axes space. `transAxes` maps axes space to figure space. `transData` maps data space to the figure space. `transData` is a composite of `transScale`, `transLimits`, and `transAxes`. It's the "fast lane" between the data and the screen. Transforms example == If you want to draw a dot in the middle of the plot, you know that >>> x = y = 0.5 in axes space. Since the default transform for `matplotlib.pyplot.plot` is `transData`, you can either either change the transform of the plot operation >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> ax = plt.subplot(111) >>> ax.plot([x], [y], 'ro', transform=ax.transAxes) Or you can transform the midpoint to data coordinates then plot them >>> trans_data2axes = ax.transScale + ax.transLimits >>> trans_axes2data = trans_data2axes.inverted() >>> mid_point = trans_axes2data.transform([x, y]) >>> x_trans, y_trans = mid_point >>> ax.plot([x_trans], [y_trans], 'gs') It's important to note that these are two **very different** approaches. The first point (red dot) above is always referenced to axes space and will remain in the center of the plot, even if you change the axes limits (try panning in interactive mode). On the other hand, the second point (green square) is referenced to the data space and will move with the data if the axes limits are changed. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
[Matplotlib-users] Arrow Questions
I am trying to implement a dynamic graph in mpl, where users can drag around the nodes, and the edges follow the nodes like rubber bands. I have this working with regular edges, but I want to give the option of putting arrows on the edges. I am running into some issues with the Arrow classes. With my Text, Rectangle, and Line2D objects I can get and set their locations with methods such as get_position(), get_x(), and get_xdata() respectively. But there are no such methods for any of the Arrow classes. (By the way, it seems like these sorts of things would be in the base classes, and much more standard). What is the difference between Arrow, YAArrow, and FancyArrow anyway? (Besides drastically different scales). Some other features of the Arrow class that I would like very much are: * double headed arrows (one line with an arrow head on each end) * the ability to turn the arrow head on and off easily (Boolean parameter function) Does anyone have any ideas on how to work around these issues?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Control space between bars
Hi Mathieu,
It seems to me that you're confused with the meaning of the transAxes.
It is a transform from the Axes coordinate to the Canvas(?) coordinate.
As far as I can see, what you seemed to want is a transform between
Data coordinate and Axes coordinate, and that would be transScale +
transLimits (from Data to Axes).
So, try
trans = (ax.transScale + ax.transLimits).inverted()
# trans = ax.transLimits.inverted() will also work in this case.
and you will get 2.0, 2.0 as you expected.
The "transform" argument should be transAxes still.
ax.text(valx, valy, actualcoords, transform=ax.transAxes)
As far as your original question is concerned, I have little idea what
you are trying to do, so I'll leave that question to others.
Regards,
-JJ

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Control space between bars
I am still investigating and I am stuck at converting transAxes values to data.
If my axes goes from 10.0 to 20.0 then transAxes 0.5 should give me 15.0.
This would allow me to compute bar width and space, since I am able to
convert inches to transAxes values.
I tried many combinations of transAxes, transData, ...,
inverse_xy_tup, xy_tup, inverted(), transform(), ... without success
:(
Any ideas please ?

trans = ax.transAxes
valx = valy = 0.5

#Gives me [328, 240] instead of [2.0, 2.0]
