[Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN

2007-09-24 Thread C M
I'm having problems building matplotlib on windows from a folder from SVN, and haven't done it before (previously had used the prebuilt binary download). I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm on winXP, Python 2.5. and will be using wxPython 2.8.4.2 with matplotlib as well. The folder with the c

[Matplotlib-users] pcolor and masked arrays; am I missing something?

2007-09-24 Thread Mike Bauer
Howdy, I'm a recent refugee from GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) and am very happy to have found matplotlib. I've been having one nagging issue however that I must resolve as I require this ability. Basically, I need to mask 2d arrays and plot the result with pcolor via basemap. From the docu

[Matplotlib-users] histogram question

2007-09-24 Thread Tommy Grav
I need to generate a set of histograms, but would like to plot only the "skyline" of the histogram, and leave out the vertical lines where adjencent bars touch. I have looked at the docs, but nothing jumped out at me as the right keyword for this. Is this possible? and if so, how? Cheers
