[Matplotlib-users] easy_install basemap
Hi all, don't sure it's the best way, but I have tried to install basemap via easy_install. the installation works fine (after a export GEOS_DIR), but it impossible to import it :-( Is there a special manipulation to get it working?

In order for that to work properly, the toolkits have to be "namespace packages". This is fixed in svn for both matplotlib and basemap, so when the next version of matplotlib is released, I'll release a new basemap that can be installed as an egg. It will require some changes in your code though. Specifically, to import basemap you will need to do from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap instead of from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.

[Matplotlib-users] subplot inside subplot
Hi All I have a figure of six subplot. I want to make one subplot in such a way that I have to plot two data set with common x-axis with the bottom plot is 30% of the subplot and the upper plot is 70% of the subplot. How can I do that? I tried x = arange(10) y=sin(x) z=cos(y) rect1 = [0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.2] rect2 = [0.1, 0.3, 0.8, 0.5] axUpper=axes(rect2) axLower=axes(rect1) axUpper.plot(x,y) axLower.plot(x,z) But how can I do this in a subplot?

You can do this with 'axes', but not with 'subplot'. subplot is just a special case of axes where the assumption is that the axes lie on a regular grid.

[Matplotlib-users] Offset details for contour plot
I'm considering using Matplotlib to programmatically generate images for a web-based application. I want some specific information about contour plot images produced by Matplotlib and I was wondering if it was easy/possible to get this information. Imagine a contour plot rendered to a .png. For simplicity, assume the size is 1000x1000 pixels. Of course, this image has white-space, axes, axis labels, perhaps a colorbar, etc. The actual contour part, showing the data, is smaller than 1000x1000 pixels. I'd like to know: * the size (in pixels) of the actual contour part of the generated .png * the offset (in pixels) from the bottom left hand corner of the actual contour part Of course if pixel information isn't possible, offset and size as a percentage of the total image size would be fine.

[Matplotlib-users] Plot a complex sequence (newb)
Newb here. I can plot a seq of float with: pylab.plot (s) pylab.show() But if s is complex, say numpy.array(complex), it doesn't do what I want. I think it's just showing the real part? I want to get 2 line graphs, one real one imag. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Matplotlib-users] draft solution to overlapping dates problem
I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I've seen some complaints in the archives about a problem that I've been facing, so I thought I'd post my solution. I am auto-generating graphs of weekly data. In terms of pixels the graphs will always be the same size, but the number of weeks included can vary from a single week to two year's worth of data. For many of these graphs matplotlib does a fine job of placing ticks in a helpful and readable manner. But for some situations where I have say, six weeks of data, it places ticks every few days in such a way that they overlap and are unreadable. The MaxNLocator is helpful in this situation as I can use it to limit the number of ticks, but it isn't ideal because I really only want the first day of the week labeled, not some arbitrary location in the middle of the weeks. So I can up with the following locator that will place a limited number of labels at places along the axis that make sense. You pass it the max number of bins and the width of the data. So for my needs I give it 6 bins and a width of 7 for weekly data. If there are fewer dates then it only labels the start of each week, not days in between. It there are more weeks than that it tries to group them into 6 or fewer bins. I've done some testing and it works well for me. class MaxNDateLocator(Locator): def __init__(self, num_bins, item_width): self.bins = num_bins self.width = item_width def __call__(self): self.verify_intervals() vmin, vmax = self.dataInterval.get_bounds() delta = vmax - vmin mul = 1 if (mul*self.bins*self.width < delta): mul = int(delta/(self.bins*self.width)) + 1 return range(vmin,vmax+1,mul*self.width) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] draft solution to overlapping dates problem
Yes, but for my purposes the rotated dates don't work. Also, I really don't want dates that don't mark the start of a 7 day period to appear.
