Wow - this is really amazing. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating when I'm working to a deadline to figure out the details of Bbox's and such but when I find something like this it really makes it worth while! It does exactly what I want, really easy to use and only took about 5 lines! (It would be nice if there were some docstrings in there though :)) On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 4:02 AM, Jae-Joon Lee<lee.j.j...@gmail.com> wrote: > However, It is possible to specify the location of the axes in > normalized axes coordinate. > > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/16373 I'm afraid I didn't really understand how to apply this in my case... I guess I would have to set the position and everything by hand instead of using the zoom helper. I preferred to use the zoom helper, but found the legend loc settings put it slightly too close to the edge of the surrounding axes for my taste. So after checking the docstrings for how to position legends I came up with something that works, but it required a minor change to the inset_locator.py to pass the bbox_to_anchor and bbox_transform (it looks like this was intended since they have None default values): robin-mbp-3:~ robince$ diff /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/inset_locator.py code/scipy_build/matplotlib/lib/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/inset_locator.py 288c288 < axes_locator = AnchoredZoomLocator(parent_axes, zoom=zoom, loc=loc, bbox_to_anchor=bbox_to_anchor,bbox_transform=bbox_transform) --- > axes_locator = AnchoredZoomLocator(parent_axes, zoom=zoom, loc=loc) With this minor change I get exactly what I want! ax1ins = zoomed_inset_axes(ax1, 3, bbox_to_anchor=(0.1,0,1,1),bbox_transform=ax1.transAxes, loc=6) plot_trial_dists(res515[0],8,ax=ax1ins) ax1ins.set_xlim([5, 50]) ax1ins.set_ylim([0, 0.04]) ax1ins.set_xticks([]) ax1ins.set_yticks([]) mark_inset(ax1, ax1ins, loc1=2, loc2=4, fc="none", ec="0.5") thanks again, this is really terrific!
