Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot
Hi Tony,
Thank you for the reply, the solutions you propose are fine in this
case. But I'm trying to use the polar plot
as a smith chart for an instrument and there i will receive data that is
unknown but can be something like this:
r = np.transpose(.1+np.arange ( 0 , 0.7 , 0.001))
theta = -4.5 * np.pi *r
freq = r*10e9
data = np.multiply(r,np.exp(1j*theta))
ax.plot(angle(data),abs(data))
Any idea why Polar plot can't handle theta going from negative to
positive radians?

[Matplotlib-users] quiver aspect ratio
Recently I noticed that the quiver plots all make the arrows as if the plot had aspect ratio 1. See, for example, the documentation for quiver: In all cases the arrow aspect ratio is 1, so that if *U*==*V* the angle of the arrow on the plot is 45 degrees CCW from the *x*-axis. This seems to make the plot pretty useless if the aspect ratio is not 1, since then the slopes of the arrows do not match up with the coordinate axes. What is the reason for this design decision? Does it have to do with the arrows distorting if the aspect ratio is not 1? At one time, there was talk of adding a line version of quiver (as opposed to the patch version there now). See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.devel/1885. Has that happened? I suppose a line version would allow different aspect ratios. Is there an easy way to get a correct quiver plot (i.e., correct slopes) now if the aspect ratio is not 1?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Square Axes
Adjusting a physical size of the axes is a bit tricky in matplotlib, as the axes has an fixed position in normalized figure coordinate. But, I guess setting the axes aspect ratio in physical size is doable relatively easily, at least if your x,y axis are in linear scales. For example, if you want a square axes, set the aspect as the inverse of your data aspect (ratio). ax.set_aspect(1./ax.get_data_ratio()) As you see, you need to reset the aspect whenever your data limit changes.

[Matplotlib-users] Lines drawn across NaN data
I'm having trouble plotting data with NaN values. My plot has lines and markers and usually both are skipped for NaN values. But when I have more than 127 data a line is drawn from the last non-NaN to the next. I read somewhere about a similar issue (maybe here? sorry I can't find it just now), it seems like it has to do with some optimization performed for large datasets and the use if lineto instead of moveto or something like that. It was supposed to be fixed in 0.98.2 but I'm using 0.98.3 from Benjamin Drung's PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/bdrung). This code shows the difference between plotting 127 and 128 data (look at the left of each figure): import pylab as pl x = pl.random(128) x[4:7] = pl.NaN y = x[:-1] pl.figure(1) pl.plot(x, '-o') pl.grid(True) pl.figure(2) pl.plot(y, '-o') pl.grid(True) pl.show() Is this a known issue? Is there any workaround?

Here is my (easy and maintainable) way to handle the versions for my graphics: * I write the data creation in a python script * I write the creation of the mpl graphics in a script (most the same) * I manage these python file with a version-system (eg mercurial) So I have different versions for my mpl graphics and I can modify the graphic any time (with a new python run). If the data creation takes too long, I could save the data in an extra file (eg pickle file) and versioning the pickled file. So I dont need an extra way to reedit a mpl graphic.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] save or pickle figure object
Josef, I too have been interested in such a feature for matplotlib and have made some (albeit lame) stabs at finding a solution. I started a project on google code that has some very limited capacity to save line plots and the necessary data arrays from matplotlib into an hdf5 file for later processing. It is by no means a complete solution but may serve as a VERY rough model to add this functionality. It was my hope that if you could capture the underlying keyword arguments necessary to recreate a plot then you might be able to simply recreate the original figure assuming the correct interpreter functions are established. Anyway, if you are interested please take a look to see if there may be something useful. From the perspective of the IPython users out there, a question to you: is there a good way to do achieve this feature with some of the logging commands? http://code.google.com/p/subplot/ Cheers, Brian -ps excuse the name of the project--I lacked creative drive at the time of naming. --- On Tue, 9/16/08, John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] save or pickle figure object To: "Josef Koller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 7:49 PM On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 5:06 PM, Josef Koller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks, > I would like to save preliminary figures for later processing and > refinement with matplotlib.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] save or pickle figure object
I agree completely - I was just pointing that it is possible. I think what
people might not be aware of is that it's really an all or nothing
proposition. You either jump in completely and pay the large cost to handle
this in a maintainable, scalable way or don't do it at all. All of the
"quick and easy" solutions have too many problems and aren't really
maintainable.

Sounds good--for some applications--but I would strongly oppose adding
this additional level of complexity to mpl. It's just not worth it. If
you want to be able to work with a plot, then generate it with a script,
and save the data and the script. That is the user's responsibility,
not mpl's.
Unless mpl is taken over by a cadre of full-time professional
programmers, we have to try to keep it accessible to people who can only
work on it sporadically. That means we need to try to keep it
simple--indeed, to work on simplifying it and cleaning up the rough
edges, and to work on maintaining a design that makes it easy to improve
the real plotting capabilities and ease-of-use.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] yaxis labels using subplot
I believe that "set" function in matplotlib has been deprecated (because "set" is now python builtin). Instead, you have to use "setp". Setting "xticks" (or "yticks") changes the tick locations. If you're trying to turn off only the labels, you may use use setp(gca().get_yticklabels(), visible=False) IHTH, -JJ 2008/9/17 Nicholas Stephens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > Actually this is more like two problems :-) > > I am trying to turn off the yaxis labels on the right hand side figure > generated via subplot.

Hi Jan,
It looks like you get the circle because the angles you're plotting go
from negative to positive radians in a weird way. The circle being
drawn starts around 0 radians and goes clockwise by negative values.
Then when it gets to - pi, it switches to positive indices, i.e. pi.
Of course, these are the same points on a polar plot, but different
angles, if you want to be consistent.
Here are a couple of quick solutions, but there but there maybe better
ways of handling this.
# ~~
# get rid of the plot line above, and add the following
theta = np.angle(gamma_r)
mag = np.abs(gamma_r)
# option 1
ordered = np.argsort(theta, axis=0).squeeze()
ax.plot(theta[ordered], mag[ordered], '.-', zorder=0)
# option 2
neg_theta = np.where(theta < 0)
theta[neg_theta] += 2 * np.pi
ax.plot(theta, mag, '.-', zorder=0)
# ~~
I hope that's helpful,
-Tony

[Matplotlib-users] yaxis labels using subplot
Hi all, Actually this is more like two problems :-) I am trying to turn off the yaxis labels on the right hand side figure generated via subplot. After some trial and error it seems that I should be able to change these settings using the set command. For example you should be bale to do the following plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16]) set(gca(), 'xticks', [1,2,3,4]) as per the ipython instructions. However I have a complaint about the number of arguements (see below). This has been tried in a variety of ways, apart from a way that actually works. In [1]: plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16]) Out[1]: [] In [2]: set(gca(), 'xticks', [1,2,3,4]) --- Traceback (most recent call last) /home/stephens/Fe_profiles/20yr_SS_BATS/ in () : set expected at most 1 arguments, got 3 So i)does anybody know of an easy (/sucessful) way of turning off the rhs yaxis labels and ii) does anybody know why I am apparently having issues with putting more than one argument in the set command when, according to the help instructions, it should be possible. thanks in advance, nick stephens begin:vcard fn:Nicholas Stephens n:Stephens;Nicholas org:UMR CNRS 6539;Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Environnement Marin adr;quoted-printable;quoted-printable:Institut Universitaire Europ=C3=A9en de la Mer (IUEM), Place Nicolas Cope= rnic, Technop=C3=B4le Brest Iroise;;Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Environnement Marin ;Plouzan=C3=A9;;29280;Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:+33(0)98498790 version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request
Jeff, Sorry, I have forgotten to add this piece of code since I'm continually adding/removing bits This code comes instead of the scatter method and colorbar things: xi=np.linspace(-180,180,360) yi=np.linspace(-90,90,180) zi=griddata(Lon,Lat,Val_masked,xi,yi) Is it done the good way? If it is, what's the best method to display it with interpolation?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request
Hi John, I used your example with the missing .ax to modify these font sizes and it works nicely Anyway, by investigation, I found that there is no way of interpolation using scattered data I tried to figure out how to grid my values and use imshow or pcolor, but with no success yet.. Could you explain me how I could do to grid, for example, that data: Lat[] (double array containing latitudes) Lon[] (double array containing longitudes) Val[] (double array containing values) Each of the arrays having the same size, and Val[1] has latitude Lat[1] and longitude Lon[1], and so on, and the coordinates are completely unordered When I try to use griddata and use imshow or pcolor with the output array, my figure is blank A simple example or guideline would do, I guess, as I've already gained a good knowledge of the language Thanks in advance PS: Here's the code snippet: http://snipplr.com/view/8307/map-plotting-python-code-temporary/ Antoine De Pauw Collaborateur de recherches, Informatique - Research collaborator, IT Laboratoire de chimie quantique et photophysique - Quantum chemistry and photophysics laboratory Université Libre de Bruxelles - ULB -Original Message- From: John Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 17 septembre 2008 13:00 To: De Pauw Antoine Cc: Eric Firing; Jeff Whitaker; Matplotlib Users Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 3:28 AM, De Pauw Antoine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The image generated is here: > http://www.kirikoo.net/images/5shrad-20080917-102544.png > > Also, I couldn't find any way to reduce the colorbar font size The colorbar method returns a matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar instance, which has matplotlib.axes.Axes instance stored as an attribute.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Information request
Eric, I solved the problem by using vmin/vmax, masking and the heat colorbar That choice is then "self-masking" for undesired pixels left after masking and vmin/vmax Now the thing I still have to do is smoothing scattered data, after that I'll implement it with GTK or any other windowing system and when it is finished I'll provide it to the community for example purpose In fact I'm not demanding for code or so, but for method names which could help me do what I need, with code examples for instance The source code is the same as the one posted initially in that mail, except the masked array which is, I think, straightforward for most of you Now I have scattered data on my map, antialiased and so, but it still needs some smoothing as it still looks very pixelated (that is due to the satellite coverage) The image generated is here: http://www.kirikoo.net/images/5shrad-20080917-102544.png Also, I couldn't find any way to reduce the colorbar font size Do you know of any ways to achieve these goals?

Perhaps by modifying one of the standard mpl examples, such as image_masked.py? From what you have said, I would expect that some combination of masking, using vmin and vmax, and using the special value colors, would work adequately with the present colorbar.
