[Matplotlib-users] Broken Axes

2008-01-21 Thread Darckense
Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to plot "broken" axis using matplotlib. I would like to plot only the left and the right part of a spectrum, and put a mark on the X axis to show that the axis scaling is interrupted here. Thank you, -- Darckense http://darckense.online.fr -

Hi everyone, I've been trying to solve this problem for the last few days without success. I am afraid that part of the problem is my own lack of understanding of matplotlib/wx's inner workings, this is my first attempt to a GUI-tool. I am using th networkx (https://networkx.lanl.gov/wiki) package

Re: [Matplotlib-users] missing slice of pie()

2008-01-21 Thread Michael Droettboom
The pie wedges are approximated using a 72-sided polygon (each side 5 degrees), rather than a true ellipse. There is a bug that if the wedge is smaller than a half of a side of this polygon (2.5 degrees) it creates only one side of the wedge. This has been fixed on the 0.91.x maintenance branc

[Matplotlib-users] missing slice of pie()

2008-01-21 Thread James Battat
It looks like pie() omits slices that are smaller than a few percent. In the following example, only one pie slice is drawn: >>> import pylab >>> pylab.pie([98,2]) >>> pylab.show() The missing pie slice has neither a color fill nor a boundary (the arc of the pie slice is missing). By contrast,

[Matplotlib-users] pcolorfast

2008-01-21 Thread Eric Firing
Rob, You might try substituting "ax.pcolorfast(data)" for "ax.pcolormesh(data)". It is much faster and uses less memory, unless you specify a non-rectilinear grid, in which case it falls back on the quadmesh code behind pcolormesh. pcolorfast is a unification of slightly modified code from im

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using non ascii characters

2008-01-21 Thread Michael Droettboom
To use non-ascii characters, you need prefix the string literal with a 'u'. For example: u"This is a Unicode string" Alternatively, you can write out an 8-bit string and then explicitly decode it into Unicode: unicode("This is UTF-8", "utf-8") Replacing the r's with u's in th

[Matplotlib-users] Automatic location for annotation or text objects ?

2008-01-21 Thread BL
Hi, Is there a way to create annotation or text object at an automatic "best location", to prevent different annotation from overlapping each other ? I've seen the " loc='best' " keyword for the legend class and I was wondering is something similar existed for annotation and text. Otherwise, i

I'm using a basic Debian Etch distribution. I've attached a very simple file showing the problem. On my computer, neither the title, nor the legend are displayed correctly, and I've got square instead of each non ascii characters. The attached script gives me the following informations : matplotl

2008-01-21 Thread Michael Droettboom
This probably depends on the backend you are using. Which backend and on which platform are you having trouble with? 0.90.1 had a number of Unicode and non-ascii problems that 0.91.2 resolves. You may want to try that. Failing that, can you attach a small script that exhibits the problem? T

Hi, I would like to use non ascii characters in title and label but with my current intallation it does not work properly. There's no warning or error messages when I set a title with some non ascii characters (I use iso-88599-1 characters, like é or à), but I get a empty square instead of thes

[Matplotlib-users] editor ?

2008-01-21 Thread Giorgio . Luciano
I was just wondering if there is any "editor" for the figures done in matplotlib. I mean something like the matlab(TM) figure or esayplot for QToctave. Since I use a software that use embedded matplotlib and after having the plot it could be very helpful to have somthing that can help "tweaking
