[Matplotlib-users] plot_date mystery

2008-10-12 Thread Friedrich, Robin K
I'm having an unusually hard time with plotting some data on a date axis. All I want to do is plot several data series over a specific 8 week period. It works fine when I plot all the data (that is not specifying a date range) but when I try to use the axis command to put in my limits it puts

[Matplotlib-users] updating a basemap

2008-10-12 Thread Mathew Yeates
Hi I see the example of updating a plot in examples/animation/gtk_timeout.py where the 2 lines line.set_ydata(np.random.rand(10)) fig.canvas.draw_idle() What is the equivalent when I want to update a Basemap with new latitudes and longitudes and I have done m=Basemap(..)

something isn't working In my main routine I have xpt,ypt= m(lons[0:500],lats[0:500]) outlines=m.plot(xpt,ypt,'r-') #m is my basemap, outlines is a list of size 1. Huh? then in my update routine I have counter=0 def update(): global counter xpt,ypt=

[Matplotlib-users] GTKAgg throwing an exception

2008-10-12 Thread Jesper Larsen
Hi matplotlib-users, I decided to try to make some plots that I have previously made in png format using the Agg backend in jpeg format using the GTKAgg backend (which I guess is the one I should use for this). Unfortunately my script exits with an error. I have therefore created a simple test

never mind. Got it working. One annoying thing, though, when the line reaches the edge of the figure, a line is drawn horizontally to the other side. This doesn't happen when I display all of the points at once. Mathew Mathew Yeates wrote: something isn't working In my main routine I have

[Matplotlib-users] Calling xlim makes x tick labels format get lost

2008-10-12 Thread Goyo
Hi all, I'm plotting time series and using a custom format for x tick labels because I want to see both date and time. But calling xlim makes the default format return -- only dates or only times, it depends on the displayed interval. I can get my preferred format back by calling

I can't make much sense of this. You don't plot anything and don't use canvas. This code works: import matplotlib matplotlib.use('GTKAgg') from matplotlib import pyplot pyplot.plot([0, 1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]) fig = pyplot.gcf() fig.savefig('test.jpg') But I don't know how to set the dpi value

[Matplotlib-users] Alter graph/labels based on zoom level

Hi, At the moment, I have a graph which has an un labelled x-axis and all i'm drawing is a filled green rectangle every so often. I would like make it so that when I zoom in to my graph past a certain threshold, the rectangles change so that the first half is a different colour to the second
