Hi Michael and Joerg,
Your explanations were complementary and helpful.
Let me respond in more detail later. But first:
Where in the docs is there as clear a statement about
xgridpath as this one (offered by Joerg)?
"The graph method xgridpath returns a path along
a line of constant x in the plot area of the graph."
This is basically what I'd guessed from the example, of
course, but pins down some important details.
Here is how a user (e.g., me) might look.
>>> help(pyx.graph.graphxy.xgridpath)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: class graphxy has no attribute 'xgridpath'
>>> g=pyx.graph.graphxy(width=3)
>>> help(g.xgridpath)
Help on method gridpath in module pyx.graph.axis.axis:
gridpath(self, x) method of pyx.graph.axis.axis.anchoredaxis instance
>>> help(pyx.graph.axis.axis.anchoredaxis.gridpath)
Help on method gridpath in module pyx.graph.axis.axis:
gridpath(self, x) unbound pyx.graph.axis.axis.anchoredaxis method
Ouch. OK, try looking here:
<URL:http://pyx.sourceforge.net/manual/module-graph.graph.html>
and find:
Further geometry information is available by the axes
instance variable, with is a dictionary mapping axis
names to anchoredaxis instances. Shortcuts to the
anchoredaxis positioner methods for the x- and y-axis
become available after dolayout() as graphxy methods
Xbasepath, Xvbasepath, Xgridpath, Xvgridpath,
Xtickpoint, Xvtickpoint, Xtickdirection, and
Xvtickdirection where the prefix X stands for x and y.
Hmmm, OK, but what *are* those things individually? Some
are pretty obvious, but not xgridpath (despite its name;
I do not want to just guess based on that).
OK, look here:
<URL:http://pyx.sourceforge.net/manual/module-graph.axis.axis.html>
and find:
gridpath(x)
Returns a path instance for the grid path at
position x. Might return None when no grid path is
available.
OK, but what is a "grid path"? I'm still guessing.
Dead end. Give up and write list. ;-)
Hope that clarifies some points where additional help would
be useful.
Cheers,
Alan
