[Matplotlib-users] xlabel cut off in the example embeding_in_qt4.py
Hi, I am embedding a plot in Qt4 application, following the matplotlib example embeding_in_qt4.py, however I found that the xlabel is cut off, although the label shows more if I resize the window, still it is not the right one. Is it because of my local parameter settings or it's the limit of the example code. How can I fix this ? Thanks. Best regards, Forest Yang -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

This fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15) works well for me. I was thinking like TeX/LaTeX, it automatic calculate the space and overlapping between symbols (treated as boxes, forgot what Knuth call it). I used the rcParams before, but sometimes I plot for PPT with larger fonts, sometimes for article with smaller fonts. the rcParams did not worked well for me.

[Matplotlib-users] show legend without box ?
Hi All, Is there any way to show the legend but without the box ? it is blocking the figures. Although I can set the alpha to make the legend transparent, still remove the box and make it transparent would be better. Thanks.

[Matplotlib-users] how to plot contour on a regular grid with mask ?
Hi I have a function z(x, y) on a regular grid. But some of the value z are not defined on (x,y). I want to plot the contour or contourf of z on (x,y) but exclude specific (x,y) points. How can I do it ? Right now I just draw small colored square (rectangular) around defined (x,y) the color is not smooth since no interpolation like contour or contourf. Thanks.

[Matplotlib-users] No qt4agg backends running on example file
Hi, I am using Ubuntu 10.10, and installed matplotlib from the repository. But when running an example file embedding plot in Qt4 I got the following errors: [11:34 PM] $ python embedding_in_qt4.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "embedding_in_qt4.py", line 16, in from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas ImportError: No module named backends.backend_qt4agg Any extra steps for installing Qt4Agg backend ?
