Re: [Matplotlib-users] How can I put a white area in the middle of colorbar showing the masked data?
Dear Eric, This solved part of my problem. thanks a lot. I think I will revisit this issue when I have time (not promised). do you think this could be some feature desirable?

It's not the answer you want to hear, but I think the correct answer is that you should do this via the colormap, and not by masking the low values. It doesn't have to be painful. If, in contourf, you use a diverging colormap with white already in the middle (http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/colormaps_reference.html) and a norm with symmetric limits (vmin and vmax; you can let them be set automatically after you specify your symmetric set of contour boundaries appropriately) then it will be done for you. e.g., z = 10 * np.random.randn(20, 30) clevs = [-10, -5, -2, -1, 1, 2, 5, 10] cs = plt.contourf(z, levels=clevs, cmap=plt.get_cmap('PRGn'), extend='both') cbar = plt.colorbar(cs, spacing='uniform') Eric -- Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.

I don't understand what feature you are referring to; evidently I don't understand what the problem is, so I don't know what part remains unsolved.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib + py3 + gtk3
Thanks. I'd definitely consider this a bug this. Would you mind creating an issue or pull request on github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib so it doesn't get lost?

This falls fowl of the cairo issue What I am having to use is backend_gtk3cairo. However this is being triggered raise ValueError(The Cairo backend can not draw paths longer than 18980 points.) I am generally plotting 7 x-y plots with upto 30,000 points. Now for now I have commented this out from my local install, is there a better/preferred/recommended alternative? This was put in there because cairo had (at least at the time) a hard coded limit on path size, and getting a Python exception was IMHO preferable to segfaulting and having the process go away. Are you saying that when you comment it out, it's currently working? It may be that cairo has fixed this limit in the intervening years. Can you provide a simple, standalone example that reproduces the error? Using python33 pygi-aio-3.10.2-win32_rev18 (to provide pygobject for windows:) Using: http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk3_panzoom.html as the baseline provides the following error: File c:\Python33\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_gtk3agg.py, line 52, in on_draw_event buf, cairo.FORMAT_ARGB32, width, height) NotImplementedError: Surface.create_for_data: Not Implemented yet.
