[Matplotlib-users] Plotting from datafile
Dear All, I'm new to Matplotlib. It might be a silly question, how does one plot data(not functions) in Matplotlib. How: 1)Two arrays (X and Y) can be plotted in a scatter diagram? 2) or a number of data files can used to produce different plots having different(sequential) name? Thanks in anticipation.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting from datafile
Hey Sayan, for reading in simple ASCII-Files containing your two arrays you should have a look at the numpy.loadtxt function. Scatter plots in matplotlib are then easily created as shown here http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/scatter_demo.html For your purpose you can do something like: import os import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt for file in os.path.listdir(): x, y = np.loadtxt(file, unpack=True) plt.scatter(x,y) plt.savefig(file + '.png') Cheers, Florian Am 27.03.2013 09:32, schrieb Sayan Chatterjee: Dear All, I'm new to Matplotlib.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Trouble with legend and axis scaling
Sterling, I'm using matplotlib version 1.2.0 with agg backend. Here are two code examples, one for each problem. The first one doesn't save the figure due to the legend problem, seterr causes the script to stop with an error at that position. The second example shows the scientific labels on the y-axis, although it should be disabled in the code. I can't get the y-axis to display plain labels.

Hi Steven, I am a newbie to Python and hence Matplotlib. I cannot get your point properly. Could you please redirect me to a page where the usage is demonstrated? As I can see, you're a doctoral student in Physics, it might be worthwhile to tell you that I'm trying to code a Zeldovich Approximation for a simple sinusoidal potential and want to make it evolve with varying scale factor and make an animation of it.

I'm pleased to announce the release of matplotlib 1.2.1. This is a bug release and improves stability and quality over the 1.2.0 release from four months ago. All users on 1.2.0 are encouraged to upgrade. Since github no longer provides download hosting, our tarballs and binaries are back on SourceForge, and we have a master index of downloads here: http://matplotlib.org/downloads http://matplotlib.org/downloads.html Highlights include: - Usage of deprecated APIs in matplotlib are now displayed by default on all Python versions - Agg backend: Cleaner rendering of rectilinear lines when snapping to pixel boundaries, and fixes rendering bugs when using clip paths - Python 3: Fixes a number of missed Python 3 compatibility problems - Histograms and stacked histograms have a number of important bugfixes - Compatibility with more 3rd-party TrueType fonts - SVG backend: Image support in SVG output is consistent with other backends - Qt backend: Fixes leaking of window objects in Qt backend - hexbin with a log scale now works correctly - autoscaling works better on 3D plots - ...and numerous others. Enjoy! As always, there are number of good ways to get help with matplotlib listed on the homepage at http://matplotlib.org/ and I thank everyone for their continued support of this project.

[Matplotlib-users] difficult LaTeX formula for rendering
Dear experts, in our sphinx-based project documentation (www.diracprogram.org) we have a complicated latex math formula, which is not rendered: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/sphinxext/mathmpl.py:56: Warning: Could not render math expression $i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \left( \begin{array}{c}\Psi^L \\\Psi^S \end{array} \right) = c \left( \begin{array}{c}(\vec{\sigma} \cdot \vec{\pi}) \Psi^S \\(\vec{\sigma} \cdot \vec{\pi}) \Psi^L \end{array} \right)+ m_ec^2 \left( \begin{array}{c} \Psi^L \\-\Psi^S \end{array} \right) + V \left( \begin{array}{c}\Psi^L \\\Psi^S \end{array} \right)$ The index.rst file with the sole math formula is attached. I have most recent Ubuntu 12.10 (x86_64) with default packages python-sphinx 1.1.2, python-matplotlib 1.1.1. Any help, please ? I was trying to cut this formula down; the smallest LaTeX part not rendered is \begin{array}{c}\Psi^L \\ \Psi^S \end{array}.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Trouble with legend and axis scaling
The first issue is a bug, and I opened a PR that fixes this. https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1864 In the comments of the PR, you can find a workaround.
