Re: [Matplotlib-users] Integer equal-width bins for histograms

 Hi,
 When histogramming integer data, is there an easy way to tell
 matplotlib that I want a certain number of bins, and each bin to
 cover an equal number of integers (except possibly the last one)?
 (in order to avoid having some bins higher than others merely because
 they cover more integers) I know I can pass in an explicit bins array
 (something like list(range(min, max, (max-min)//n)) + max) but I was
 hoping for something simpler, like hist(data, nbins=42,
 equal_integer_coverage=True). Best,
 Antony

Int data is discrete. For discrete variables you don't need bins, you
don't estimate the frequency distribution you know it exactly by
counting.

Of course you could do that with the hist function:

 pl.hist(r, np.arange(min(r)-0.5, max(r)+1.5), histtype='step')

[Matplotlib-users] Basemap.drawgreatcircle() map border

2013-11-11 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
Hey,

I know that you're not supposed to draw a greatcircle with Basemaps
drawgreatcircle() when it will hit the border of the map. But I think
it works pretty well except for the attempt to connect the line (see
horizontal lines in [1]). Is there a way to not get these horizontal
lines?

Does someone has an idea how to hack drawgreatcircle() accordingly?
Brute force if wanted, I don't care so much about efficiency at this
point. Thanks for reading and possibly helping ;-)

Cheers, Yoshi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] streamplots in axesgrid

2013-10-07 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
Sun, 6 Oct 2013 15:41:07 -0500 Tony Yu tsy...@gmail.com:

 The return value for streamplot is a bit hacked together. Its just a
 simple object containing a line collection and an arrow collection.
 Instead of passing the set of collections, just pass one of the
 collections to the colorbar. For example:
 
 sset = grid[i].streamplot(XPTS, YPTS, zx, zy, color=zr)
 grid.cbar_axes[i].colorbar(sset.lines)
 
 Does that work for you?

works like a charm - thank you!

[Matplotlib-users] streamplots in axesgrid

2013-09-26 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
Hey,

I'm trying to plot streamplots into an axesgrid object with something
like:

fig = pl.figure(1, (13, 20))
grid = AxesGrid(fig, 111,
nrows_ncols = (3, 2),
axes_pad = 0.6,
cbar_location = 'top',
cbar_mode = 'each',
cbar_size = '2%',
cbar_pad = '1%',
   )
[...]
norm = mpl.colors.LogNorm(vmin=1, vmax=5000)
im = grid[i].streamplot(XPTS, YPTS, zx, zy,
color=zr,
arrowsize=.001,
norm=norm)
grid.cbar_axes[i].colorbar(im)
[...]

and then it failes with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ./results.py, line 96, in module
grid.cbar_axes[i].colorbar(im)
  File
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/axes_grid.py,

line 706, in __init__ mappable.autoscale_None() # Ensure
mappable.norm.vmin, vmax AttributeError: 'StreamplotSet' object has no
attribute 'autoscale_None'

can't I use streamplots in axesgrid? If I comment out the colorbar for
the streamplot colors it works ...
Is this a bug? Is there a right way to do it? Is there a work around?

Many thanks in advance!

[Matplotlib-users] EPS backend

2013-06-07 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
I'm having problems recently with printing EPS figures created by
matplotlib. To me this is strange because printing postscript should
just work in my opinion.

My most recent example is a Basemap thing with AxesGrid. Basically the
idea was to have six maps nicely arranged on a DIN A4 paper for
printout. The EPS looked nice on my notebook but printing them on our
freshly leased printers at the institute failed in the middle of the
fifth map (six maps in total). I have Ghostscript 9.07 and it turned out
that this EPS stopped working with just one earlier version (a college
with Ghostscript 9.06 could not open the EPS or more correct Ghostview
failed in the middle of map number five).

I expect such a Ghostscript version thing to be the problem also with
the printer. If that is the case don't you think that's ridiculous?
Isn't at least some legacy support wanted?

I don't have a minimal example yet, but I could try to create one next
week if the need is there. The above mentioned thing was something
along the lines of:

...
import matplotlib.pyplot as pl
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import AxesGrid

# loading data
...

fig = pl.figure(1, (16,19))
grid = AxesGrid(fig, 111,
nrows_ncols = (3, 2),
axes_pad = 0.3,
cbar_location = 'top',
cbar_mode = 'each',
cbar_size = '3%',
cbar_pad = '1%',
   )
for i in range(6):
bmap = Basemap(projection='aeqd', ..., ax=grid[i])
...

pl.savefig('sixer.eps', bbox_inches='tight')

 Have you tried setting ps.usedistiller to False, or xpdf?  There have

No, I didn't try.  Thanks for the hint, I will test that.

 We'll need a minimal example, or at least a copy of the PS file to 
 investigate this further, however.  Also, what platform, version of 
 matplotlib and Python are you using?

If I keep everything on my system linux with python 2.7.5 and
matplotlib 1.2.1 it works fine.  Problems arise if I move the EPS to an
older system or the printing.  I will have access to these machines on
Tue.  I will try to create a minimal example then.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Basemap AxesGrid

2011-11-08 Thread Yoshi Rokuko

 Why not something like this:
 
 fig = plt.figure()
 grid = AxesGrid(...)
 bm = Basemap(...)
 for ax in grid :
 x, y = bm(lon, lat)
 ax.scatter(x, y, vmin=globalmin, vmax=globalmax)
 
 I do variations of this all the time.

Thanks for the tip, this is not going to work because
Basemap() draws a map onto i want to plot, however you
pointed me in the right direction - Basemap() has an
ax=... option:

fig = plt.figure()
grid = AxesGrid(...)
for ax in grid:
bm = Basemap(..., ax=ax)
bm.draw...
x, y = bm(lon, lat)
im = ax.scatter(x, y, vmin=...)

grid.cbar_axes[0].colorbar(im)

this works in principle, but however i can't increase
the size of the grid.

even if i try something like:

fig = plt.figure(1, (15,18))
fig.subplots_adjust(left=0.01, bottom=0.01,
right=0.99, top=0.99)
grid = AxesGrid(fig, 132,
nrows_ncols = (2, 2),
axes_pad = 0.1,
cbar_location = top,
cbar_mode=single,
   )
i get a small grid in the center with lots of white
space around.

someone knows about that?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Creating a new colormap based on a cmap from matplotlib.cm?

2011-10-14 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
+ Keith Hughitt -+
 Hi all,
 
 Does anyone know of a good way to create a new LinearSegmentedColormap
 based off an existing one?
 
 I have a function which attempts to generate N optimal color map
 indices for a given data array. In cases where the number of values
 specified in _segmentdata is the same as N, then I can simply
 copy _segmentdata and modify the indices and create a new color map. In
 many cases, however, the segment data has far fewer interpolation
 points, e.g.:
 
 In [52]: cm.gray._segmentdata
 Out[52]:
 {'blue': ((0.0, 0, 0), (1.0, 1, 1)),
  'green': ((0.0, 0, 0), (1.0, 1, 1)),
  'red': ((0.0, 0, 0), (1.0, 1, 1))}
 
 
 Other colormaps may have an arbitrary number of interpolation points.
 Ideally, what I would like is a way to expand this into N points (e.g.
 256) so that I use that as input for my new map.
 

i cannot really help you with your approach, but i also think it's not
so elegant to expand cmaps.

did you try to understand the way cmaps can be defined by gradient
borders? - http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Show_colormaps

i.e. a friend gave me a colormap defined by points and i converted it to
something like that (by just looking at the colors):

ie_data = {
'red': ((0.00, 0.357, 0.357),
(0.50, 1.000, 1.000),
(0.75, 1.000, 1.000),
(1.00, 1.000, 1.000)),
'green':((0.00, 0.467, 0.467),
(0.50, 1.000, 1.000),
(0.75, 0.750, 0.750),
(1.00, 0.371, 0.371)),
'blue':((0.00, 0.800, 0.800),
(0.50, 1.000, 1.000),
(0.75, 0.157, 0.157),
(1.00, 0.157, 0.157))
}
ie = matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap('ieMap', ie_data, 256)

use it with cmap=ie

2011-07-23 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
+- Jeff Whitaker ---+
 
 Here's the basic idea:
 
 1) read the germany.dat file, use it to create a _geoslib Poly instance, 
 i.e.
 
 from mpl_toolkits.basemap import _geoslib
 b = np.asarray([lons,lats]).T # lons and lats are lists.
 germanypoly = _geoslib.Polygon(b)
 
 2) loop over all the points on the grid and do
 
 inside = _geoslib.Point((lonpt,latpt)).within(germanypoly)
 
 filling a boolean array with the values.
 
 3) use this boolean array as a mask to create a masked array from your 
 data.  Then, when you plot the masked array with contourf only the 
 points inside germany will be contoured.
 
 Give this a try and let us know how it goes.
 
 -Jeff
 

because of islands it doesn't work as expected i guess?

here is what i did:

 bmap = Basemap(projection='aeqd', ...)
 x, y = bmap(lons, lats)
 npoints = 300
 xi = np.linspace(np.amin(x), np.amax(x), npoints*.7178)
 yi = np.linspace(np.amin(y), np.amax(y), npoints)
 zi = griddata(x, y, var, xi, yi)
 inside = np.zeros_like(zi)
 lon, lat = np.loadtxt('germany-lon-lat-np.arr')
 bx, by = bmap(lon, lat)
 b = np.asarray([bx, by]).T
 poly = _geoslib.Polygon(b)
 i = 0
 # i know this is slow, but ...
 for y in yi:
 for x in xi:
 inside.flat[i]  = _geoslib.Point((x,y)).within(poly)
 i += 1
 mzi = ma.masked_array(zi, mask=inside)

here is what it looks like:
http://rokuko.net/test.png

matlab includes NaNs right before and after islands in the lon
lat lists, is there something similar ?

country? if i grid my data to projection coordinates
and then make a contour plot i can draw the country
borders on top, but since the data plotted outside
the country is a gridding artifact i would rather
not plot it.

to make it more clear what i mean:

any ideas? can one make a single country transparent?

best regards, yoshi
