[Matplotlib-users] Safe SVN version

2009-01-23 Thread jason-sage
Hello all,

I am at a Sage days workshop and one of my goals is to update matplotlib 
in Sage.  We want to pull from SVN since there are some (very *nice*) 
arrow-drawing features only in SVN.  Is there any recent commit points 
that we want to avoid because of stability?  If not, we'll probably 
update to the most recent svn version, which I'm pulling right now.

Thanks,

Jason

[Matplotlib-users] plotting a circle in log space

2009-01-23 Thread Michael Hearne
I have discovered, from the mailing list, the easy way to draw a circle 
in linear space:

cx = 700
cy = 700
r = 1000

xmin = cx - r
xmax = cx + r
ymin = cy - r
ymax = cy + r

cir = Circle( (cx,cx), radius=r,facecolor='w',edgecolor='b')
a = gca()
a.add_patch(cir)

axis([xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax])
axis('equal')

However, when trying to overplot a circle on an existing log/log plot, I 
get a circle section:
e = 
[70,1,1,12,7,185,6,3,0,1015,6,222,500,0,661,105,0,8706,0,23,131,0,0,0,6,22,1,4,0]
o = 
[180,2,0,15,13,3,0,0,0,20,6,2000,9748,0,38,100,0,20023,0,2,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1]
f1 = figure()
loglog(o,e,'b.')
hold('on')
cx = 700
cy = 700
r = 1000

xmin = cx - r
xmax = cx + r
ymin = cy - r
ymax = cy + r

cir = Circle( (cx,cx), radius=r,facecolor='w',edgecolor='b')
a = gca()
a.add_patch(cir)

axis([xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax])
axis('equal')

How can I plot a circle in log space?

As an additional aside, I've discovered that even if I define the points 
that make up a circle (in linear space), I cannot plot a smooth line 
through them using the plot() function:
def pol2cart(th,r):
x = r*cos(th)
y = r*sin(th)
return (x,y)
   
def drawCircle(cx,cy,radius,np,style):
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,np)
rho = ones((1,np))*radius
x,y = pol2cart(theta,rho)
x = x + cx
y = y + cy
plot(x,y,style)

cx = 700
cy = 700
r = 1000
drawCircle(cx,cy,r,1000,'b')

When I look at the resulting plot, I see empty axes.  If I change the 
plot style to 'b.', then I see the circle.  Is this a bug or an 
undocumented feature?

Thanks,

Mike Hearne

Re: [Matplotlib-users] ImportError: No module named pyplot

2009-01-23 Thread mzs


Thank you.  I finally upgraded my Ubuntu system, pretty easy, and now pylab
is available.  Thank you to everyone on this thread for your input.

BTW, matplotlib is very nicely done, useful, and appreciated.

This is because, unlike the other pages, there is no ReST source that is used to
generate the main page.  John/Mike, any ideas what to do?

This is because there is no docstring for show() in pyplot.py, because it gets
pulled in from the backend.  Any idea how to fix this?  Show() really needs to 
be
in this list, seeing as it's the most important line in any script.

I'll also add that pyplot.plotting() shows up on the pyplot.api page completely
busted.  Seeing as this is a dummy function whose sole purpose is to hold a
docstring listing plotting functions, is there something better we could do 
here?
 Could we put the information in the plotting docstring as a pyplot module level
docstring and do away with plotting() all together?

Fix these two.  Thanks for the reports!

[Matplotlib-users] documentation errors

2009-01-23 Thread keith.briggs
At http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/, the "Show Source" link doesn't
work.

At http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/,  the table of functions links
"show" to
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.
show, but there is no such function mentioned there.

At http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/shell.html, there are two
typos: "opertation" and "on every plot commands".

At http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/shell.html, the link
:file:matplotlibrc does not work (unless the user has a /matplotlibrc
file).

Hi Simone,

I think you will find the following  examples useful:
http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2008/08/01/matplotlib-with-wxpython-guis/

Both feature "dynamic" plotting of variables that change (either by the user
or in time)

Eli
