[Matplotlib-users] imread() and binary PNGs

Other than that I have no further information. Which projection is the most suitable to handle anything from a 'global' plot to a zoom say over a state? I don't see the zoom being too tight, but global projections are likely. I personally prefer Equal Area, hence right now I'm working with 'aeqd', but I seem to have problems if the plot is global with that projection. Just looking for advice, opinions, and ideally examples if anyone has created a similar function / module to use in a web environment. Thanks! -john John: Sounds like you need one of the global cylindrical projections, such as cylindrical equidistant ('cyl'), miller ('mill') or mercator ('merc'). In the svn version, you also have Gall Stereographic ('gall'). See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/mapsetup.html for examples. Unfortunately, none of them are equal-area. Mollweide ('moll') is a global equal-area projection, but it's only global (you can't specify a domain that isn't global). For the polar option, I suggest polar lambert azimuthal equal-area (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/plaea.html). The user can specify whether he/she wants the south or north polar aspect, and the latitude of the outer edge. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

[Matplotlib-users] interactive use?
Hi, I don't think this is possible - but I wanted to check in case I'm missing something. Is there a way of changing the appearance of the plot interactively? I'm thinking of things like dragging the position of a legend, right clicking to be able to insert a text box or access properties of the axes etc like with Matlab. The programmatic interface is great - but, as just happened, I often find myself trying to drag the legend out of the way by force of habit!

Since, I also have the border line of the electrical grid (in the form of a closed polygon coordinates), my next step is to clip the temperature map using this polygon as a patch. Thus, I have created a Path instance with the polygon coordinates, subsequently, a PathPatch instance, say patch. Finally, I call the imshow function using the Artist options clip_on=True and clip_path=patch. I was expecting that imshow would have filed up only the region inside the polygon, but imshow is still mapping the full figure axis box, i.e., the plots with and without the clip_path option are identical.

The GUI neutral animation example from the SciPy cookbook doesn't seem to work for Wx or WxAgg backends. A plot window opens but nothing happens. It appears to be some weird problem with ion on wx. For example, the following code will run and immediately close: plt.ion() plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() After removing plt.ion(), a plot window is opened and the program doesn't end until the window is closed (as expected). If I use TkAgg or Qt4Agg (the only other GUI backends I have installed) the examples (above and below) work as expected. -Tony Full Example: # import matplotlib matplotlib.use('WxAgg') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np plt.ion() x = np.arange(0, 2*np.pi, 0.01) line, = plt.plot(x, np.sin(x)) for i in np.arange(1, 20): line.set_ydata(np.sin(x + i/10.0)) plt.draw() # PS.

My program runs through a loop and is supposed to re-plot the graph after each step (which includes a pause of 1 second). I can't get the plot to refresh.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] imread() and binary PNGs
David, After playing around with this file and the various elements of image.py, I've determined that the pil_to_array function in matplotlib.image works just fine, so the place where the problem is introduced in imread is the read_png function in matplotlib._png. So a simpler work-around for this file than reading each bit into a bool array yourself would be to import Image (PIL) and matplotlib.image to call the pil_to_array function on an Image.open'd object directly: import Image import matplotlib.image as image import pylab as p x = image.pil_to_array(Image.open('bin.png')); p.imshow(x); p.show() In the mean time, I'll see if the devel list has some better insight on the issue.
