Isn't linthreshy what you are looking for?  It denotes the range
where the scale is linear.  So, if it is 25, then from -25 to 25
the scale will be linear.  After 25, it will be log.

Maybe I am missing something in your description?

Cheers!
Ben Root



Hi Ben,
No unfortunately linthreshy only controls the crossover point
from linear to log scale, it does not give you control over where
this occurs on the figure's y coordinates.  I've attached a
picture to explain, currently the linear part of the graph is
only being given around 25% of the vertical space, I'd like to
reverse that and give linear ~75% and log at the top only the
remaining 25%.  Is this possible?  I've been digging around in
the SymmetricalLogScale and SymmetricalLogLocator classes and
can't even tell how this range is allocated.

Thanks in advance!!

David,

Thanks, that is much clearer what you are looking for.  You are 
right, I can't seem to find any sort of obvious way to get what you 
want.  Reading the docs for the SymLog scale indicates to me that the 
author intended for the logrithmic portion to be most interesting and 
the linear portion was only supposed to be a work-around the whole 
log(0) issue.  Could you file an issue on the github page so that we 
can mark it as a feature request?


Just getting to this after some unexpected absences.  Yes -- that is 
how symlog was originally intended, so there isn't currently any way 
to configure it.  Please file the issue and assign it to me.  I'll 
have a look at what needs to be added to support this.


Mike


Perfect, thanks Mike!

I'm not familiar with the package naming scheme used below.  What OS is

Only needed if using the optional exceltools package.

These are shipped in the matplotlib git repository, so aren't strictly 
necessary.

Likewise.

This is required if you want to use the GtkCairo backend.  Pango is a 
dependency of cairo, but not a direct dependency of matplotlib.  If your 
platform does package dependency resolution, that should be taken care 
of automatically.

See above.

Needed to build the docs or for "true" LaTeX font support (when the

Needed for testing.

Not needed.

Possibly needed, depending how things are packaged on your system.

In addition to above, you'll need the numpy development packages.  
Optionally, you'll want PyQt4 or PySide, wxPython, pygtk (pygobject on 
Python 3) or tkinter.  But you only need one GUI framework of your 
preference.  If using pygtk or tkinter, you'll also need to install the 
development headers.

The issues is that you can't use Gtk with Agg, only with Cairo under 
Python 3.  I've put a mailing list message into the pygobject developers 
about adding the necessary functionality to make this work, but have 
received no response for months.

Yes -- those are probably static enough now to do that.

[Matplotlib-users] netcdf4-python

2012-05-04 Thread John 
Hello,

I'm working with the latest netcdf4-python (svn updated recently). It
has been built with the Netcdf 4.1.1 and HDF 4.2.5 and HDF5 1.8.5
patch libraries. The installation is on Ubuntu 64bit 10.04 LTS.

I get some very strange behavior when trying to read a file, which
actually causes Ipython to close:
In [3]: from netCDF4 import DataSet as NetCDFFile
In [4]: nci = NetCDFFile('100730_tawo_TAWO-var.nc')
python: v1hpg.c:190: v1h_get_nc_type: Assertion `type == NC_BYTE ||
type == NC_CHAR || type == NC_SHORT || type == NC_INT || type ==
NC_FLOAT || type == NC_DOUBLE' failed.
Aborted
$

Does anyone have a suggestion where to look for the root cause of
this? From the searches I've done it seems it is likely related to the
dynamic linking of the libraries at build time.

Thank you,
john

[Matplotlib-users] Pixel marker - colour problem

2012-05-04 Thread Cumberland, Burly 
Hi,

Just recently upgraded to Matplotlib 1.1.0 from 1.0.1. I make significant use 
of the pixel marker in plot. For instance:

plt.plot(self.dat.duration, self.dat.fmpwr, 'b,', label="Power", markevery= 
self.skip)



I've found that since upgrading all my plots appear to be black now if they us 
the pixel marker ',' option. Upon closer inspection it looks like there may be 
some colour (but not the standard shade of blue or red) to the pixels but as 
they layer up they appear black. This is a bit frustrating as my plots were 
bright blue, bright red etc.



Does anyone know if the default behaviour has changed in the most recent 
release, any ideas how I get the colour back?



Thanks in advance.



Burly.

Adding markeredgecolor='b' to the plot() call restores the full color.  (I
don't know when or why the behavior changed.)

[Matplotlib-users] how to set set default figure format for interactive figures?

2012-05-04 Thread Chao YUE 
Dear all,

I use the default GTKAgg backend. When I explore the figure in interactive
mode, I find a list of formats to select for the figure format.
But the default one is .png, so how can I change to .jpg?

In [7]: mat.get_backend()
Out[7]: 'GTKAgg'

thanks et cheers,

Chao

Chao,

It is currently not possible, but I think it has been made into a feature

Is it possible to have a customized linestyle for line plots?
such as I want '--.--.--.' or '-*-*-*' or others.

I read the documentation part of set_drawstyle and a post here:

but still not clear. Could anyone give a very small example?

[Matplotlib-users] output of mlab cohere_pairs vs. cohere

2012-05-04 Thread Barrett Heyneman 
I need to compute coherence between a bunch of different signals, for a
bunch of different trials, and it seems like cohere_pairs() is exactly what
I should use.  However, I'm a little confused about the output.  If I use
cohere() to produce the coherence values for two signals, I get an array of
coherence values, one for each frequency in the frequency array.  However,
if I use cohere_pairs() with just that pair specified, I get the same
frequency array but a single value for that pair.  See the example output
below:

>>> X = np.random.rand(1024,2)
>>> c, f = mpl.mlab.cohere(X[:,0], X[:,1])
>>> c.shape, f.shape
((129,), (129,))

>>> c, p, f = mpl.mlab.cohere_pairs(X, [(0,1)])
>>> f.shape
(129,)
>>> c
0.67176286373547267

>From reading the doc strings I was under the impression that the value
'c[(i,j)]' (output from cohere_pairs) should be the same output you would
get from running 'cohere(X[:,i], X[:,j])'.  Is this a bug, or am I missing
something?

Thanks,

-Barrett

[Matplotlib-users] positions and scientific notations of ticks

2012-05-04 Thread stecue 
Hi,

I'm plotting figures for a series of data set and I want to keep the 
looking consistent with each other. Currently I'm using MaxNLocator and 
ScalarFormatter but still,

1. Is there a way to limit the minimum number of ticks for MaxNLocator? 
Currently, if I set nbins=5, the number of ticks varies from 2 to 5. The 
variation is too large for me. I tried FixedLocator but then I lost the 
ability to set "ylim" (or "xlim") automatically.

2. About the scientific notation of ScalarFormatter, can I fix the 
number of decimal places? Currently, the notation will be "2x10^-5" in 
some figures, while "2.50x10^-5" in other figures. I need all tick 
labels to have the same number of decimal places.

I've searched the online documents for hours but cann't find the 
answer... any ideas?

Thanks!

Sincerely yours
Xing
