Jeff, In fact my satellite data is displaying clouds of various gases, and I dont like the fact that "empty" places are left dark blue (I use jet reversed cmap)
By masking data under a certain value, I isolate the clouds and then they are in evidence When I use vmin and vmax I'm able to avoid the colormap rescaling and I keep the cloud's original colour, but then it is the colorbar which poses problems, as there's a part of the bar that is useless I guess what I should do is setting a new colorbar myself, but there again, it is not very easy to understand... that kind of libraries are really occult for a non-scientific IT graduate like me Now for the antialiasing and interpolation, the thing I try to do is making it look less pixeled, I don't need all the points to be interpolated, but just make the existing points smoother to have a smooth, quality figure You have helped me a lot, and I know my questions were beginners ones, so I'll understand if you prefer giving some time to something more interesting Antoine De Pauw Collaborateur de recherches, Informatique - Research collaborator, IT Laboratoire de chimie quantique et photophysique - Quantum chemistry and photophysics laboratory Université Libre de Bruxelles - ULB -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Whitaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mardi 16 septembre 2008 13:16 To: De Pauw Antoine Cc: 'Matplotlib Users' Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request De Pauw Antoine wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > I have played a bit with Matplotlib since last week, and I may still have > some questions for you > > I have masked my value array so it doesn't draw points under a certain > value, but doing this causes the colormap to rescale for the new values > Antoine: Don't quite know what you're trying to accomplish, but you can use the vmin/vmax keywords to imshow, pcolor or scatter to scale the colormap to a certain range. Also, take a look at the image_masked.py example to see how to set the 'over/under' color in a colormap. > I have tried to set a custom colormap but it isn't the thing to do as data > is varying in time > > So is it possible to avoid the colormap to rescale itself? > > Also, I had a look at imshow and the interpolation process is really > interesting for smooth maps.. does a way to interpolate scattered data > exist? > If you have the most recent version of matplotlib you can use the griddata function to interpolate scattered data to a regular grid. -Jeff > The code I use didn't change since last time, all I did is adding a bit, > testing and deleting.. > > Best regards, > > Antoine De Pauw > Collaborateur de recherches, Informatique - Research collaborator, IT > Laboratoire de chimie quantique et photophysique - Quantum chemistry and > photophysics laboratory > Université Libre de Bruxelles - ULB > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Whitaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: vendredi 12 septembre 2008 13:26 > To: De Pauw Antoine > Cc: 'Matplotlib Users' > Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request > > De Pauw Antoine wrote: > >> Hi Jeff, >> >> I updated my code snippet and uploaded the image I created with a complete >> set of data: >> >> http://snipplr.com/view/8307/map-plotting-python-code-temporary/ >> >> And here's the picture generated: >> >> http://www.kirikoo.net/images/5shrad-20080912-105759.png >> >> I now understand the process and I'm able to reproduce it for other >> datasets, but I need to implement some antialiasing for it.. >> >> Is it possible to do? >> >> Many thanks for your precious help! >> >> Antoine De Pauw >> Collaborateur de recherches, Informatique - Research collaborator, IT >> Laboratoire de chimie quantique et photophysique - Quantum chemistry and >> photophysics laboratory >> Université Libre de Bruxelles - ULB >> >> > > Antoine: If you do > > >>> from pylab import scatter > >>> help(scatter) > > you will see that scatter takes an antialised keyword > > antialiased Boolean or sequence of booleans > > -Jeff > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Jeff Whitaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: jeudi 11 septembre 2008 16:48 >> To: De Pauw Antoine >> Cc: 'Matplotlib Users' >> Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request >> >> De Pauw Antoine wrote: >> >> >>> Jeff, >>> >>> The map object is from the Basemap type, the only different thing is the >>> Lon,Lat and Val objects which are from the type array instead of lists >>> >>> Anyway, solutions are slowly showing themselves and I thank you all >>> >>> Have a nice day >>> >>> Antoine De Pauw >>> Collaborateur de recherches, Informatique - Research collaborator, IT >>> Laboratoire de chimie quantique et photophysique - Quantum chemistry and >>> photophysics laboratory >>> Université Libre de Bruxelles - ULB >>> >>> >>> >> Antoine: It should not matter if Lon and Lat are python arrays, lists >> or numpy arrays.
