Thanks for all replies. I got a solution by copying some files from SVN trunk revision 6155. I did as follow: svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib sudo cp -b matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py

[Matplotlib-users] ellipse in log-log

2008-10-06 Thread Yves Revaz
Dear list, How is it possible to draw a nice ellipse in a log-log plot using patches.Ellipse ? With matplotlib 0.91 I was able to to that using : Ellipse((log10(100),log10(100)), width=100, height=100,alpha=0.5) Now, it seems that something has changed in version 0.98 and I do not need to ad

imshow always assumes a regular rectangular grid of pixels. To plot image data on a non-rectilinear projection, you need to use pcolor or pcolormesh. You may also want to look at the basemap toolkit, which provides much better support for geographic projections. The ones included in

[Matplotlib-users] apply factor to numbers on axis

2008-10-06 Thread Henry Proudhon
Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a simple way to apply a multiplication factor to the ticks labels of an axis. say I'm plotting a 100 x 100 matrix with imshow and want the axis to show (0 to 70) instead of (0 to 100), while still displaying the whole matrix. In that case the coefficient would
