Re: [Matplotlib-users] Newbie : How to add a Colored legend with Text for 3d plot
Thanks a lot John and Benjamin for your help. The Proxy Artist approach fits the bill perfectly. I used the following code to make a legend from my color_lut lookup table. # Lookup table for color col_lut = dict(Bistris7p2 = "burlywood", Cit7p2 = "c",APhosph8p0 = "m", Acetate5p5 = "k",Borate8p5 = "y",Mes6p7 = "c",Hep8p2 = "g",ATris9p0 = "r") for key,value in col_lut.items(): legend_box.append(Rectangle((0,0),1,1,fc="%s" % value)) legend_text.append(key) ax.legend(legend_box, legend_text) Hari On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 7:23 PM, John Hunter wrote: > On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 5:30 PM, hari jayaram wrote: > > Thanks for your email Ben.

Thanks for your email Ben. Sorry I am still lost. I dont understand what the handles type is . In my example I guess the handles are an array of circles representing each x,y,z point.I am still a little lost since the plot autmatically plots my 3 arrays The color of each circle is arbitrary and stored a the color array.

[Matplotlib-users] Newbie : How to add a Colored legend with Text for 3d plot
Hi everyone,
I have successfully plotted a set of 372 (x,y,z ) scattered values in 7
series. Each point is a circle colored according to a color based on a
simple lookup table.
# Lookup table for color
col_lut = dict(Bistris7p2 = "burlywood", Cit7p2 = "c",APhosph8p0 = "m",
Acetate5p5 = "k",Borate8p5 = "y",Mes6p7 = "c",Hep8p2 = "g",ATris9p0 = "r")
I was wondering how can I have a legend for this color code positioned
somewhere alongside or within the interactive 3D figure.
The legend text would be the col_lut keys and the colored values would be a
box or circle filled with color alongside. I am sorry I couldnt find an
appropriate example to help with the legend creation and am asking to be
spoon fed.
Do I use a matplotlib widget or some other utility to programmatically do
this.
Thanks for your help
Hari
My code is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/python
# import csv file with pH ,salt_conc , temp and do a 3d plot
import csv
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import cm
from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap
ph = []
salt_conc = []
tm = []
buffcomp = []
# Get the raw data
f = open("stability_buffer_matrix_lookup_table_temp.csv")
csvfile = csv.reader(f)
#color lookup table
col_lut = dict(Bistris7p2 = "burlywood", Cit7p2 = "c",APhosph8p0 = "m",
Acetate5p5 = "k",Borate8p5 = "y",Mes6p7 = "c",Hep8p2 = "g",ATris9p0 = "r")
for i in csvfile:
# weed out incomplete data points
if "" not in i:
ph.append(float(i[4]))
salt_conc.append(float(i[5]))
tm.append(float(i[-1]))
#gets a color from the lookup table based on the buffer component
entry
buffcomp.append(col_lut[i[3]])
print set(buffcomp) , col_lut
fig = plt.figure(figsize=plt.figaspect(0.5))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection='3d')
surf = ax.scatter(ph,salt_conc,tm, c=buffcomp)

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Best way to cycle through numpy images using scroll?
Excellent! That sped things up quite a bit. I can now flip through my small images with no perceivable delay. I will look forward to trying out the new interpolation setting when it gets here, since I have some larger images that still lag slightly. If others want, I can repost my code with Ben's changes.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Best way to cycle through numpy images using scroll?
Two issues with your code that should significantly speed things up. First, by calling imshow() each time for the draw, there is significant overhead caused by this. Instead -- (and this is a huge speedup) -- save the object returned by the first call to imshow(). That object has a method ".set_array()" that will allow you to just change the data contained within the AxesImage object. This is *much* faster than calling imshow() repeatedly. Note that the array going into set_array() will have to be of the same shape as the original image. Second, by setting the "interpolation" kwarg to *None*, you are merely telling imshow() to use the default interpolation specified in your rcParams file. Instead, you probably want "nearest". Actually, supposedly, the upcoming release is supposed to support a new value "none" for absolutely no interpolation at all. The idea would be that one would pre-interpolate the image data before sending it to imshow() and have imshow set to do no interpolations at all. Therefore, the images display much faster.

Here is how am solving this problem. It isn't terribly fast either, but
it works for me. I wrote something with pygame that was faster, but it
had its own set of problems.

The EPD installer comes as a Mac .pkg application which seems to hide everything that's going on. It saves "Receipts", but these don't contain the kind of logs we're looking for, as far as I can tell. On my previous laptop, I was using OS X Snow Leopard with python and matplotlib from an older EPD version, and I had no troubles. Perhaps I need to ask the Enthought folks.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] mathtext in eps figures doesn't come out in pdf
Setting test.usetex to True solved this problem. The only drawback is that the font used for numbers and that used for axis labels is different and looks a bit odd. I'm sure the fix for that is not too difficult, however.
