What the script can do now, essentially, is line plots, images, color bars. Adding more functionality should not be too difficult and is basically just a matter of actually doing it.

In animation_blit_gtk.py the set_ydata() routine is used to update the line for the animation and this does not leak. But if you call plot again with the new y_data (instead of using set_ydata), this leaks too. Anyone have an idea on how to stop the leak? This isn't a memory leak. The problem is that you keep adding new patches to the axes when you want just one with different data.

[Matplotlib-users] add to a canvas while preserving overall formatting
I have a mpl graph embedded in wxPython, and I call a function, customize_plot() to do a number of things to the plot: adjust the spacing around it, set the formatters, fontsizes, axis limits, set a grid, etc. Now I want to potentially highlight points (by adding semi-transparent points on top of existing ones) or annotate points with user interaction. If I do that, it seems I need to call canvas.draw(). But when I do that, it redraws the whole canvas and ignores some of the formatting I laid out in customize_plot(), specifically the view limits, and that's not acceptable. I want it to simply add the new points without changing any of the features of the plot. Is there a way to do that? In Googling for hints, I found this point from JDH from almost two years ago, which I think is applicable to my need: If you call fig.canvas.draw, everything will be updated. If you want to selectively draw certain artists, you can use the animated property w/ background copy/restore and the draw_artist method as described at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations Is this still the case in the current version of matplotlib?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] can't update transform for polygon animation
On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 10:54 AM, John Jameson jjame...@altoresearch.com wrote: Hi John, Thanks for your help on the animation with patches, and now I'm trying to do the same idea for matplotlib.patches.Polygon ala your method for a circle patch: initialize: xy =[[x0,y0],[x1,y1],[x2,y2]] poly = Polygon( xy, animated=True,lw=2,fill=False ) add_patch(poly) . . in the loop: poly.set_xy = xy_new poly.update_transorm() (no such routine) The set_xy seems to work (at least no errors), but I don't see how to update the transform as for the circle. Two problems here : * There is no polygon attribute set_xy; it is a method, so you need to call it like poly.set_xy(xy_new). In general this is True for all matplotlib set_* methods. There is also an xy attribute which you can access like poly.xy = xy_new. These two approaches do the same thing * The _update_transforms call was a hack I did on CirclePolygon to work around a broken method. it is not a method of Polygon or Patch which is why you are not finding it. For normal usage, the methods that start with underscores are not meant to be called or used at the user level, but because there was breakage in the CirclePolygon set_xy method, I had to hack around it in the example I posted for you. For Polygon, simply setting the xy attribute should be sufficient. JDH -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

[Matplotlib-users] Suggestion for filtering by calendar?
I have a time-series dataset for which I need to make several plots; some of them will use all of the data, but others need not only to show just the usual business hours, but also take business holidays into account. I thoght this might be sufficiently common in this community that somebody could easily point me to a python idiom/recipe they've used that I could extend to use masked arrays. FWIW, the idea is not that I want to skip those time periods on the visualizations--and thus the recipes which treat the data as non-timeseries and construct custom ticks are not the solution for me.

If what you want is to have more padding for the major tick labels, I recommend you to use rcParams['xtick.major.pad'] = 20 If you don't like to change the global setting, you may set the ticklabel padding for an specific axis. Try for tck in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks(): tck.set_pad(20) tck.label1 = tck._get_text1() Regards, -JJ On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 4:20 PM, Filipe Pires Alvarenga Fernandes ocef...@gmail.com wrote: \\ works for titles and label, but not for DateFormatter, but \vspace did the trick!

As I said, it is not supposed to work, because of some technical reason. When there is a single line of text, it is hardly possible to get to know the original baseline of the text. By the way, the original problem that \n\n %b didn't work seems like a actual bug (it is supposed to work without escaping '\n'). This should now be fixed in the svn (r8135 in maint. branch and r8136 in HEAD) . Still, it is recommended to adjust the pad of the ticklabels instead of fiddling with newlines and etc. Regards, -JJ -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

I think this should be included, but I'll wait to hear from other developers before committing. Could you confirm that the unit tests pass? import matplotlib matplotlib.test() Confirmed on rev 8133: Ran 124 tests in 341.585s FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=2, errors=2) and the errors were something to do with hexbin extents and the figimage method. Great -- I committed this patch in r8138 I think the markerangle would also be a useful contribution, though it would render some of the markers redundant (eg triangle left, right, etc, would all just be triangles with different angles...) That was a concern I had as well, but I suppose ^ v (etc) could just be considered shortcuts to particular angles. Presumably, we would not be removing them. Correct? Also, is the standard to have the angle specified in degrees? So what is more useful: markerangle or markerdeg? We would definitely be leaving these as shortcuts and for backward compatibility. And yes the standard is to use degrees -- for consistency with the text rotation property, we may want markerrotation specified in degrees. The other difference is that when one specifies fillstyle='left', then it would only apply to the marker at 0 degrees. Whereas, marker='v', fillstyle='left', markerangle=0 would correspond to marker='^', fillstyle='right', markerangle=180 (or something like that). You can think about what the right way to do this is. My first inclination is that that left, right, etc, apply to the unrotated marker, and then you apply the rotation. So 'd' with markerrotation=0 and fillstyle='left' would be identical to 'd' with fillstyle='right' and markerrotation=180. But any convention you want to apply would probably be fine as long as it is documented. Note I am not sure this is a terribly useful feature, but it might be marginally useful and it seems like something that could be implemented unobtrusively. So don't kill yourself on it.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] DateFormatter + Latex issue

Thanks again for the help. ps: I'm new to python, but maybe there is a way to mix Latex and unicode? Yes, the inputenc package from latex lets you use unicode. Try adding this to your script: plt.rc('text.latex', preamble='\usepackage[utf]{inputenc}') Note that this setting is not officially supported, whatever that means :) I think it means that Darren, who did most of the heavy lifting for these features, was getting tired of the endless line of additional things TeX users wanted to do and the difficulties supporting these across all platforms (eg MikTex on Windows) and drew a line in the sand saying I'll add this stuff but if you report problems I may not stay up all night trying to fix them. -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
