 The file runs however a python error screen pops up and then closes without

You have probably set wx.App(redirect=True), change to False and 
then you should see the exception in your IDE.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] align title of subplot with ylabel

2010-05-19 Thread hettling
Thanks for the suggestions, 'annotate' is what I need, I think.
I get errors though, also when I run the example scripts 
from here: 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/trunk-docs/users/annotations_guide.html#using-complex-coordinate-with-annotation
 .

I get the error 'NoneType' object is not iterable when I try plt.show()
or try to save to eps.

So I am not sure if I have the correct version of matplotlib installed.
I checked out the newest matplotlib from the svn repository, removed my
current installed version and installed the version in the 'trunk/'
directory. 'annotate' did not work.
Later, I installed matplotlib from the '/branches/v0_99_maint'
directory. 
In both cases there were no errors in the installation, but still
'annotate' did not work.

Could it be that I have the wrong library from the svn repository
installed? Does r8319 mean release #8319? 

Kind Regards

Hannes

 Below is the modified version of your code.
 
 See
 

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/trunk-docs/users/annotations_guide.html#using-complex-coordinate-with-annotation
 
 for how the annotation works.
 
 While this is certainly possible with the released version, but it
 will require you to write a few tens of lines of code. Basically, you
 need create a custom Text class that update its position during the
 drawing time.

  Dear all,

for

  inconvenient though, because I have many different plots on

  Here is what I tried:

  plt.text(0,1,B, fontsize=14, transform=ax.transAxes)
  plt.xlabel('xlabel')
  ###End Code
 
  So the texts 'A' and 'B' should be a little bit higher and more to
the
  left. The 'A' I want to align with the y-axis label of the left
plot,
  the 'B' with the values of the y-axis of the right plot.
 
  I hope my question is clear, I will appreciate any help!
 
  Thanks in advance,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] introducing mpl_toolkits.gridspec

2010-05-19 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
The functionality of the gridspec is now merged into the matplotlib.
The updated documentation can be found in

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/trunk-docs/users/gridspec.html

 Hi,

  gridspec is a module that implements matplotlib’s Subplot slightly
 differently. Current matplotlib’s Subplot only allows a Subplot to
 occupy a single cell of the n x m grid. gridspec enables a Subplot to
 occupy multiple cells.

  http://leejjoon.github.com/mpl_toolkits-gridspec/

 The code is hosted in the github repo

  http://github.com/leejjoon/mpl_toolkits-gridspec

 and the source can be downloaded from

  http://github.com/leejjoon/mpl_toolkits-gridspec/downloads

 This is motivated from the discussion in the mailing list a while ago.

 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4A0DA94E.1040500%40american.edu

 I originally prepared this as a patch for matplotlib
 (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/19097),
 but never committed. Instead, it is packaged as a mpl_tookit module.

 Regards,

[Matplotlib-users] How to have few marks on the lines?

2010-05-19 Thread Omer Khalid
Hi,

I am a wondering if it's possible to have few line distinguishing marks on
the data lines on a chart such as circle, start, square. When I use some
thing like this for the color of the graph (i.e. rs, k^), it uses the shape
for each data point and the lines becomes very thick. All I want is to put
4-5 shaper markers on each line with line (the data line will have few
hundred data points).

Many thanks,
Omer

[Matplotlib-users] hist question...

2010-05-19 Thread Nick Schurch
Hi all,

Is there anyway of re-ploting the distribution generated by hist at a
later point? I want to call it in a subroutine and have the resulting
distributions returned so I can plot them without having to
recalculate them each time. I couldn't find anything int he online
documentation but I figured it'd be something like:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
hplot=plt.hist(data, bins=1000)

plt.hist(hplot)
or
plt.hist(hplot[0],bins=hplot[1])
or
plt.plot(hist)


etc, but nothing works.

Cheers,

Nick Schurch

 Hi,

 my problem is that I need a graph with a discontinous y-axis. Let me
 explain the problem: in my field (microbiology) the data generated
 from for example growth assays have a huge range (10^0-10^9), which
 has to be plotted on a semilogy style plot (cell concentration vs.
 time). The problem is that 0 cells is a useful number to plot
 (indicates cell concentration lower than detection limit), but of
 course not possible to show in a log diagram. This is easily solved on
 old-style logarithmic graph paper; since the data will be either 0, or
  1 it is customary just to draw a zero x-axis at 10^-1 on the paper
 and that's that. On the computer, this is extremely hard. Most people
 I know resort to various tricks in Excel, such as entering a small
 number (0.001 etc) and starting the y-axis range from 10^1 to hide the
 problem. This makes excel draw a line, instead of leaving out the dot
 and line entirely. The part of the curve below the x-axis is then
 manually cut off in a suitable image editor. Needless to say, this is
 extremely kludgy. Even professional graphing packages like Graphpad
 Prism resort to similar kludges (re-define 0 values to 0.1, change the
 y-axis tick label to 0 etc.) This problem of course exists in other
 fields, while investigating a solution I found a guy who worked with
 aerosol contamination in clean rooms, and he needed to plot values
 logarithmically, at the same time as showing detector noise around
 1-10 particles. He solved it by the same trick I would like to do in
 Matplotlib, namely plotting a standard semilogy plot but with the
 10^-1 to 10^0 decade being replaced by a 0-1 linear axis on the same
 side.

 The guy in this post has the same problem and a useful example:
 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394851

 His partial solution is quite bad though, and I just got stuck while
 trying to improve it. I looked around the gallery for useful examples,
 and the closest I could find is the twinx/twiny function, but I didn't
 manage a plot that put one data curve across both axes.

 This code gives an image that maybe explains what I'm trying to do:

 ===
 t = array([0,1,2,4,6,9,12,24])
 y = array([100, 50, 10, 100, 5, 1, 0, 0])
 subplot(111, xscale=linear, yscale=log)
 errorbar(x, y, yerr=0.4*y)
 linbit = axes([0.125, 0.1, 0.775, 0.1],frameon=False)
 linbit.xaxis.set_visible(False)
 for tl in linbit.get_yticklabels():
 tl.set_color('r')
 show()
 ===

 (the y=0 points should be plotted and connected to the line in the log
 part)

 Is this possible to do in matplotlib? Could someone give me a pointer
 on how to go on?

You mean symlog.

See 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/symlog_demo.html

Although the example doesn't show it, the axis limits don't have to be 
symmetric.  For example, on the top plot, you can use

gca().set_xlim([0, 100])

to show only the right-hand side.

embedding_in_wx2.py still won't compile but I was able to compile my program
