If you use the svn version of matplotlib, you may use axes_grid toolkit. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#insetlocator
I think the required inset_locator module actually does not depend on other modules in axes_grid, so if you're not using svn, you may just download inset_locator.py and use it. But still, you need to have 0.98.5.3 installed. http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/inset_locator.py?view=markup -JJ On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 6:24 AM, Robin<robi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm sure its a bit lazy to ask but I can't think of the right keywords > to search for... > > I would like to produce a plot with a zoomed in box detail section. > What I have in mind is a plot of an exponentially decaying line with > some fine detail, so I would like the main plot to show the scale of > the exponential decay, but then in the large space in the > center/top/right of the plot I would like to have a zoomed in box > showing more detail of a particular bit to show the level of the noise > etc. > > No idea where to start with acheiving this so I thought I'd ask if > anyone has done anything similar or if there would be any examples on > the web site - or whether it would be easier just to produce 2 plots > at different scales then chop them together in a graphics editing > program.
