The colors come from the current colormap. You can go all out and make your own colormap and color based on index using your map. I don't know how to do that off the top of my head though. On 8/21/06, rich kowalczyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I understand that 3D plotting is not fully working

[Matplotlib-users] 3d Plotting

2006-08-21 Thread rich kowalczyk
I understand that 3D plotting is not fully working yet, but I have a question that might be answerable anyway. I can get a nice looking 3D plot of my data using surf = ax3d.plot_surface(x, y, z) but I can't control the colors used in the plot. I can do a surf.set_array(ColorArray) and the con

Jim, Look at examples/image_masked.py. I think that is the only example with pointed ends, and I think it was present as-is in 0.87.3. Eric James Boyle wrote: > I am using matplotlib 0.87.3 > > The documentation of colorbar in color.py seems to indicate that one > should be able to create a

2006-08-21 Thread James Boyle
I am using matplotlib 0.87.3 The documentation of colorbar in color.py seems to indicate that one should be able to create a color bar with pointed ends, the fill color of the ends corresponding to the over and under colors. I have not been able to get this to work. I have set the colormap.se

Hi, thanks for the link to the screen capture tool. I've been looking for something like it (similar to MS OneNote sort of), but haven't found one. The figure window by default has a button that allows you to save the image. As for your increased precision, I recently discovered Python's decimal

[Matplotlib-users] Using toolbars modes considered safe ?

I am using the Navigation toolbars mode and I wonder if I should the attribute or if it can change in a future release ? The attribute I am talking about is defined in backend_bases.py in NavigationToolbar2 in the __init__() method: self.mode = '' # a mode string for the status ba

Jouni I have now loaded and tried to use iPython. In some cases the xyz? command gives useful output - in others, not. So, if I have ax = subplot(111) Then ax? returns a number of get_ & set_ functions that are available. So far, so good. But, if I try something like : In [9]: ax.set_x
