Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot

Hi Tony, Thank you for the reply, the solutions you propose are fine in this case. But I'm trying to use the polar plot as a smith chart for an instrument and there i will receive data that is unknown but can be something like this: r = np.transpose(.1+np.arange ( 0 , 0.7 , 0.001)) theta = -4.5

[Matplotlib-users] quiver aspect ratio

2008-09-17 Thread jason-sage
Recently I noticed that the quiver plots all make the arrows as if the plot had aspect ratio 1. See, for example, the documentation for quiver: In all cases the arrow aspect ratio is 1, so that if *U*==*V* the angle of the arrow on the plot is 45 degrees CCW from the *x*-axis. This seems

2008-09-17 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
Adjusting a physical size of the axes is a bit tricky in matplotlib, as the axes has an fixed position in normalized figure coordinate. But, I guess setting the axes aspect ratio in physical size is doable relatively easily, at least if your x,y axis are in linear scales. For example, if you want

I would like to ensure that the axes on a plot I'm making are square in the sense of how the axes appear in the figure. I tried using ax.set_aspect(1) , but that squares the axes in data coordinates, rather than in figure coordinates. So aside from generating a figure that is always square (which

I believe that "set" function in matplotlib has been deprecated (because "set" is now python builtin). Instead, you have to use "setp". Setting "xticks" (or "yticks") changes the tick locations. If you're trying to turn off only the labels, you may use use setp(gca().get_yticklabels(), visible=F
