I was using version 3673 of svn (matplotlib) when it worked. I had a clean build directory (I usually kill it before trying to build a new version, along with whatever is in lib/site-packages). I'm not sure of the exact version I was using when it was dying (I want to say somewhere around

[Matplotlib-users] 3D scatterplot histogram + error ellipses

2007-08-06 Thread Alexander Borghgraef
Hi all, I'm trying to display the histograms of lists of 2D vectors together with their error ellipses in a 3D plot. Plotting the histograms as 3D scatterplots is easy using matplotlib.axes3d.Axes3D( ).scatter3D( x, y, h ), but how do I draw the error ellipse in the ( x, y ) plane. I know how to

[Matplotlib-users] Custom contour labels?

2007-08-06 Thread Zelakiewicz, Scott (GE, Research)
Hi, I am trying to make a contour plot using custom labels that consist only of text strings but can not figure it out. For example, if I do the following: A=arange(100) A=A.reshape(10,10) CS=contour(A,[50,]) clabel(CS) I get one contour line as expected, but instead of printing the contour

[Matplotlib-users] How to use different fonts in mathtext

2007-08-06 Thread Rob Hetland
I would like to use sans-serif math fonts in mathtext (inspired by Tufte -- most of his examples use sans fonts). Apparently there are rcParams options to be set, however, I keep getting computer modern math fonts. I would like to use the FreeSansOblique for the math italic font. How do

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to use different fonts in mathtext

2007-08-06 Thread Michael Droettboom
I believe the rcParams you're referring to actually affect the (now deprecated) mathtext2, which explains why they're having no effect ;) Sorry about that. These will soon be replaced with a new way to handle custom Unicode fonts, that is mostly working, but may not produce the best results.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to use different fonts in mathtext

2007-08-06 Thread Rob Hetland
For example, the freefonts don't have a very complete math symbol set at all. Falling back on the Computer Modern fonts for just those symbols would work, but won't look very nice. That said, a lot of users can probably do without those extended symbols altogether. You say that CM

There is now experimental support for custom fonts in math mode. You'll need to set mathtext.use_cm to False, and then set up a mapping from each of the TeX font names to the name of your desired font. It is assumed that the fonts are Unicode fonts -- it will use the same font for both Latin
