[Matplotlib-users] problem using subplots with ion()

[Louise Loudermilk]

Hi.  I am trying to output multiple 2D graphs (subplots) in one figure
(using pylab) for each time-step that the python code runs - basically an
interactive graphs.  We use the 'ion()' and 'imshow()' functions for this.
I have many graphs to chose from, but say if I chose 4 graphs to output, all
4 will output for the 1st time step, but for every additional time step only
the last graph will update.  The first 3 will remain the same, as they were
in the 1st time step.  Has anyone has this problem?  Any suggestions?

A portion of the O-O code is below.  This function is called in another
file. I tried to add notes where I thought they were helpful.

def multi_display(self, n=4):

''' displaying multiple graphs '''

ion()
m = self.displayed_multi # four input graph names (provided when
function is called)
nsub = n  # no. of subgraphs/time step

for i in range(nsub): # for each subplot

p = i +1
exec ("self.subplot" + str(p) + " = subplot(2, 2, p)")   # OR
subplot(2,2,p)

self.displayed = m[i]
self.display_stand()   # this calls the function below  with
'self.displayed' in it.

def display_stand(self): # displays individual graphs

if self.displayed == 'ht': # this is only one of the four graphs (or
subplots)

vm = 0.0
vx = 40.0
t = 'Height (m)'
imshow(self.old_ht, vmin = vm, vmax = vx,
   interpolation = 'nearest')
title(t)

Thanks,
Louise

[Matplotlib-users] Problems with GTK2 on win32 system

[Domenico Nappo]

Hi all,

I've installed environment following this installation instructions:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html

I had already installed GTK 2 and PyGTK the day before (the most recent
versions) and then installed last version of numpy, matplotlib and ipython.
Everything was ok but when I tried a sample script I've found out that the
module _backend_gdk was missing.

The script failed on this import:
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK as FigureCanvas

due a missing module that backend_gdk (imported by backend_gtk) tries to
import.
The missing module is _backend_gdk.

I commented that import statement (used to import pixbuf_get_pixels_array)
and the sample script run without any problems.

However, I guess that I need _backend_gdk module and something went wrong
during installation.

Can you help me in solving this issue? I did a googling but it seems that
few others have this problem (since most of users use linux, perhaps) and no
solution was reported.

Thanks in advance!

PS: python version is 2.5 so I installed all py2.5 of libs above.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] centering axis ticks labels

[Johann Cohen-Tanugi]

hi there, I stumbled into yet another problem, see script attached. Now 
there are 10 pixels and 10 label values on each axis, but I get only 
half the ticks, and as a result half the labels get discarded... How can 
I specify the number of ticks it uses?
Note that I could use plt.pcolor(np.array(EMINS),np.array(ROIS),d) and 
at least the labelling would be correct, but the pixels are now more or 
less wide depending on the interval between values, which was not 
intended


thanks a lot in advance for your help,
Johann

[Matplotlib-users] Problems with autofmt_xdate()

[Domenico Nappo]

Whenever I try to use autofmt_xdate() on a Figure(), dates on x axis
disappear...I guess this is related with something concerning font
management...
Anyone experienced this kind of issues?

I use most recent versions of matplotlib, numpy, gtk2, pygtk on a Python 2.5
platform (installed via binaries on a window xp machine).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] strange contour plot

[Michael Droettboom]

You might be running into one of the path simplification bugs in the 
0.98.x series.  Have you tried with the rcParam path.simplify turned 
off?  If you can sent me a self contained script and data off-list, I 
can test this against the SVN version to see if this has already been 
addressed.

Cheers,
Mike

Re: [Matplotlib-users] strange contour plot

[Michael Droettboom]

It looks like this bug has been fixed on the SVN trunk.  Unfortunately, 
these changes were pretty major surgery, so they don't easily apply to 
0.98.5.x.  Unfortunately, for the time being, it looks like you'll need 
to wait until the next release, or compile matplotlib from SVN 
yourself.  I haven't heard any concrete plans about the next release yet.

Cheers,
Mike

twinx() does not return an axes that contains the change_geometry
method. How then can I do the equivalent on this axes? Calling twinx()
again on the original axes after change_geometry() has been called
does not do the trick. Thanks.

[Matplotlib-users] [OT] Question about the SVN repo

[Gökhan SEVER]

Hello,

I have a little of the topic question. We have a project (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adpaa/) setup in SF using the CVS.

There when I look at the code submit logs: for instance:

gsever  committed patchset
219of module src
to the Airborne
Data Processing and Analysis  CVS

when I click the patchset link it transfers me into the main src folder not
directly to the modified file as in matplotlib's :

heeres  committed revision
7260to
the
matplotlib  SVN repository,
changing 1 files

here revision nicely transfers me into the right place. So that I can follow
changes easily.

Is this an SVN feature or should we enable something somewhere in the
project proterties?

Thank.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] dynamically add subplots to figure

[Jae-Joon Lee]

One work around is to call

  self.figure.subplots_adjust()

after geometry changed. After this call, the twinx-ed axes will have
the same axes position as the original one.

Another option is to use mpl_toolkits.axes_grid
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#parasiteaxes).
But the previous solution seems to be much easier for you.
Regards,

-JJ

Re: [Matplotlib-users] strange contour plot

[Michael Droettboom]

This is caused by an interaction between antialiasing and filled areas 
with perfectly aligned edges.  Both Agg and Cairo suffer from this 
"problem".  There has been a discussion on the devel a few times about 
ways around it, none of which have really panned out, if I recall 
correctly.  Though this isn't a regression, as far as I can tell.  
0.98.5.x produces the same lines as SVN (at least for me).

Sorry I don't have an easy answer to this.

[Matplotlib-users] formatting help with legend for stacked bar graph with many categories

[Chuck Pepe-Ranney]

Hello Users,

I need some help with formatting a legend for a stacked bar graph.  Each bar
is segmented into ~35 categories so my legend ends up being a long mess
overlapping my plot.  How can I position my legend outside of the plot and
reduce the spacing and fontsize for the text?

Thanks,

- Chuck

[Matplotlib-users] grouping several line types together in legend of plots

[per freem]

hi all,

suppose i have am plotting several lines using 'plot', some are dashed
(using '--') and some are ordinary solid lines. i am plotting several solid
and several dashed lines, all in different colors, as in:

for n in num_lines:
  # plot dashed line
  plot(line_x[n], line_y[n], '--', color=line_color[n], label="line %d"
%(n))
  # plot ordinary line in different color
  plot(line_x[n], line_y[n], color=other_line_color[n], label="line %d"
%(n))
  ...

If i plot n lines, i don't want the legend to show n-items, giving a
separate key for each line. rather, i want it to display a legend containing
a label for the dashed lines and a label for the solid lines, as in:

Legend:
[-- line of type A
 -  line of type B]

so 2 entries rather than as many entries as i have lines. how can i do this?

finally, how can i make it so the legend does not interfere with the plot?
right now the lines appear "behind" the legend. it'd be great if the legend
could be made to be in the background of the line (i.e. be transparent.)

thank you.

[Matplotlib-users] Build issue under windows

[william ratcliff]

I have recently been trying to build matplotlib from source under Vista
using mingw32.  I have downloaded the win32static library from the
matplotlib page.   Here is the error:
writing build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\src\ft2font.def
c:\Program Files\pythonxy\mingw\bin\g++.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -static
--entry _dllm...@12 --output-lib

g++: build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\src\libft2font.a: No such file or
directory
error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1


It would seem that somehow it is attempting to link with libft2font.a
instead of creating it.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
William
