Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread Nicolas Rougier


Hi,

I've added some basic support for readline shortcuts:

 Ctrl-A: start of line
 Ctrl-E: end of line
 Ctrl-K: kill from cursor to end of line
 Ctrl-Y: yank kill buffer
 Ctrl-L: clear console

I've also added an option for displaying the toolbar(2).

Usage is now:

pycons [--ipython] [--pylab] [--toolbar]


If the toolbar is not specified, commands can be typed directly within
console: zoom(), pan(), home(), back(), forward(), save()

There is now a installable package (pycons.tgz) available from:

http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/pycons.html

Re: [matplotlib-devel] axes_class in add_subplot()?

2008-07-01 Thread Michael Droettboom
Sounds ok to me.  One thing to clarify though -- what to do if both 
"projection" and "axes_class" are provided?  Throw an exception?

I have a small problem with the name "axes_class" because it is very 
non-obvious that it corresponds to "projection".  Perhaps we should 
either 1) overload projection to take a class as well as strings, or 2) 
use "projection_class" instead of "axes_class".  I think I prefer 1) 
though I'm wary of overloading in Python in general.

Cheers,
Mike

I got this fixed with:

MATPLOTLIBDATA=../lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/
PYTHONPATH=../build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/ ./make.py

(discard the PYTHONPATH) in the matplotlib debian trunk.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread David Trem
Hi Nicolas,

  Your pycons is great!
I has to correct a small issue in the tar.gz from your website before 
being able to test pycons:
  I had to change:
"import gtk_console.console as cons"
to "import console as cons"
in pycons file around line 12.

After that I can report pycons is running on my MacBook (MacOS 10.5) 
with python, pygtk... from macports.

Another point:
do you mind releasing your code in a more permissive license that GPL. I 
mean LGPL or BSD like? I'm interested in including your code in my own 
LGPL app.

Thanks for this great peace of work.

All the best,

David

You need to install 0.98.svn to work with the sphinx-based docs.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread Nicolas Rougier


Thanks,

I changed the license to a BSD one, hope this is compatible with
matplotlib. I also changed the module name from 'gtk_console' to pycons
since it makes more sense.

I also tried to remove the gtk_console.console (now this is
pycons.console) in favor of console but it does not work as expected I
would say. In fact, I'm surprised it's working for you. What do you get
from a simple "import pycons" ?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread David Trem
Sorry for the trouble, I started testing your "old" pylab wich was 
provided without the setup script, which led me testing pycons from the 
pycons folder itself (no setup.py install done).
Pycons was actually working fine.
However, I encounter problem when closing the console with a graph 
inside and with the >>>help() command which is freezing the windows... 
But this is basically usable.

Thanks you very much considering my license request!
I don't think there could be license issue with matplotlib since it is 
also using a quite permissive license. Could the matplotlib gurus 
comment on that?

Thanks,

David

 I've only had a limited chance to test this but it looks very
 exciting.  I am amazed by how quickly you go the ipython shell
 incorporated.  I am still a bit vexed by the lack of support for emacs
 key bindings (I guess having ipython and readline support are not
 enough, but I bet there is some gtk console code out there to support
 them).  I do miss my CTRL-a and CTRL-k and friends.

 As for the toolbar, I think functionality over aesthetics carries the
 day because it is easy to make it pretty after you make it work (and
 you can always make it optional with a flag), but note that you do not
 need to use the standard gtk toolbar widget -- you can write your own
 that works however you want.  There is only minimal overhead for the
 toolbar writer that is fairly well documented in backend_bases.py.
 One option is to draw no toolbar at all but just  just set up key
 bindings (press 'z' to toggle zoom mode, 'r' to toggle draw to rect
 mode, etc, or draw your own toolbar or whatever.  But having the
 functionality is a killer feature, in my opinion.

 Keep us posted.

Cool, this is working for me now.  Very nice.  Two more comments:

You must override draw_if_interactive *before* importing pylab:

import matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg as backend_gtkagg

def draw_if_interactive():
""" Is called after every pylab drawing command """
show(console)
# do this before importing pylab
backend_gtkagg.draw_if_interactive = draw_if_interactive
import pylab
import matplotlib.pylab
from matplotlib._pylab_helpers import Gcf


and when I run in --pylab mode, the pylab namespace is not imported.
I have to manually 'from pylab import *' .  Is that intentional?

Yes, the BSD license is compatible with mpl, the GPL one was not.

Beautiful work, and many thanks for the license change too, since it's
now comatible with ipython as well.

BTW, are you on the ipython-dev list?  If not, I'd like to encourage
you to join in.  Right now we're in the middle of refactoring the
ipython code and we have people working on WX, Qt and Cocoa consoles,
with a proper architecture (backend/frontend separation).  I think it
would be great if your GTK one also made it into the same codebase, so
that your console could 'ride' on top of the common layer that all
others will share.

Minor note: you may want to initialize the ipython session with
--colors LightBG since you have a light background, so we get better
readability.

Cheers,

f

Re: [matplotlib-devel] axes_class in add_subplot()?

2008-07-01 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
I picked "axes_class" because this is what is used in
"subplot_class_factory" function.
I rather prefer "axes_class" because, IMO, subclassing of Axes is not
only for a new projection.
For example, I have a simple subclass of Axes where I have
"baseline"-aligned x-ticklabels (instead of "top" align). Also, from
available options

  from matplotlib.projection import AitoffAxes

  1) f.add_subplot(1,2,1, projection=AitoffAxes)
  2) f.add_subplot(1,2,1, projection_class=AitoffAxes)
  3) f.add_subplot(1,2,1, axes_class=AitoffAxes)

I think option 3 makes a slightly more sense.

My patch (which is attached) if for option 3 and simply adds
"axes_class" keyword. It raises an Exception if "projection" is
supplied or polar=True. But feel free to modify or give me
suggestions. If others prefer option 1 or 2, I'll make a subsequent
change for it.

Regards,

-JJ

Thanks, corrected.
I just forgot the pylab import, it has been corrected as well.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread Nicolas Rougier

The "help()" freeze is not really a freeze since you can type input
within the terminal from where you started pycons. I managed to find
that the IPython import was responsible for this behavior for some
unknown reason. If you remove all reference to IPython in the pycons
file, then you got the expected behavior. Since IPython is under
heavy redesign, I won't investigate further until the next version.

What is the problem when closing with a graph inside ?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] GTK pylab console

2008-07-01 Thread Nicolas Rougier

I'm not yet on the ipython-dev but I read the archive to check progress
on ipython1 and I get a bit lost with the redesign. The backend/frontend
will definitely help to embed ipython. Where can I get the latest
version (with wx for example) so I can try to code the GTK one ?

Concerning the colors options, I'm not sure where to put it, in the argv
argument ?

Cheers.

All development for ipython now happens on launchpad, so you can just

bzr branch lp:iptyhon

as indicated here:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Developer_Zone

The various GUI frontends are just being built, so there isn't a
single component to download yet.  But feel free to jump on the list
with questions (and show your code!) I'm sure there will be plenty of
interest.

You can do that, but here's a cleaner solution that uses the actual ipython api:
