Hi, I'm having issues with translucent patches. The following code
import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl from matplotlib.patches import Circle fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) c = Circle((0.25,0.5), radius=0.2, facecolor='none', edgecolor='green', alpha=0.2) ax.add_patch(c) c = Circle((0.75,0.5), radius=0.2, facecolor='blue', edgecolor='green', alpha=0.2) ax.add_patch(c) fig.savefig('test_alpha.png') Produces a plot where the two circles have different borders - the left circle has a border with alpha=1.0 and the right circle has a border with alpha=0.2. Should I submit this as a bug report? I am also having issues with the following script: import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl from matplotlib.patches import Circle import time fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.add_patch(Circle((1.e10,1.e10), radius=1.e9)) time1 = time.time() fig.savefig('test_perf.png') print "Time to save: %.3f" % (time.time() - time1) The issue is that the time to save is typically 3 seconds or so, up to 5 seconds in some caes (way more than normal), and the axes do not autoscale to show the patch (I imagine the two issues are related). Is this a bug, or just due to the way matplotlib works? Thanks for any help, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
