Hello, I tried to use the boxplot_demo.py [1] as a base for doing my own boxplot, but I couldn't :( My data is here: http://www.bioinformatica.info/seba/toplot.txt.gz The main problem I see is that the data in the sample is fake (random generated) and I don't know how to put real data in it (as th

[Matplotlib-users] pylab vs. embedding in wx

2007-03-15 Thread Ryan Krauss
I have a problem that probably highlights a problem with how I normally use mpl vs. how I should use it. I have some utility scripts that do various data processing tasks and also have convenience functions for plotting data using pylab. Almost all of my scripts have a line like this near the top

[Matplotlib-users] Feature request: make labels accept non-string arguments

Hi folks, I am working on a software package to manipulate spectra and bandpasses, and I expect my users will use it hand in hand with the pylabe interface of matplotlib in order to see the results of their manipulations. It would be extremely useful if xlabel, ylabel, title, and possibly lege

Re: [Matplotlib-users] No undershoot in hist

2007-03-15 Thread David Huard
Hi Peter, this is also the behavior of the numpy histogram function. I personally don't like it, but I think it's kept for compatibility's sake with Numeric. You could use def histogram(a, bins): n = sort(a).searchsorted(bins) n = concatenate([n, [len(a)]]) count = concatenate([[n[0]],

Hi, I have a memory problem. I'm using: matplotlib-0.85, python 2.3.5, gtk 2.8.6 and pygtk 2.8.2. I create a FigureCanvasGTKAgg with a subplot and I add one Line2D to this subplot. Then I add this FigureCanvas in a gtk.Window When I destroy the gtk.Window (by the gtk method destroy), the memo

[Matplotlib-users] Question about imshow and matshow

Hello everybody, when using matplotlib, any plot I create is displayed separately from my Tkinter application. Is there a direct way to embed the plot created by matplotlib in a widget such as a canvas using something like "create_image" or something else ? Currently, the only thing I managed

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Removing the black border around a plot?

2007-03-15 Thread Peter Buschman
Okay, removing the frame turns out to work like this. ax=gca() setp(ax, frame_on=False) ... but changing the complete color still stymies me... :-( Setting the axes' frame edgecolor gives me a nice halo, but the black border is still there... axis_edgecolor = 'yellow' f

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Setting color of both major and minor gridlines?

I ended up finding a solution to this by using a FixedLocator and manually setting each of the tick positions for both major and minor grids without overlap. I'm not sure if this is the recommended way to do this, but hey, it worked ;-) for tick in range(seconds+1)[1:]: if tick %

Hello, thanks for the quick reply to my last problem. Here I've got a new one: While the last bin carries the overshoot, the first bin does not carry the undershoot. Example: from numpy import * from pylab import * bins = 2 + arange(21) data = arange(24) print bins print data hist(data,bins)

Bill, very cool. Also, thanks for showing me how Twisted can be used like Pyro, more-or-less, I think. (If I understand your code from my 1 minute perusal.) On Mac OS X, there's one issue I don't have time to follow any further: sys.executable points to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Ve
