Re: [Matplotlib-users] Axes3D labels

2009-10-07 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
I'm not an axes3d expert and below is from my quick at the code, so there may be better ways. axes3d have w_[xyz]axis attributes, which are responsible for drawing tick, ticklables, and you need to change these to change ticks, etc. While, I think something like w_xaxis.set_ticks should work, curr

Re: [Matplotlib-users] hatched fill_between ?

2009-10-07 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
It seems that there is no support of hatching in Collection, although I don't see any reason. I think the easiest way for now is to create extra patch objects for hatching. Try something like below. -JJ p = ax1.fill_between(x, 0, y1) p.set_facecolors("none") from matplotlib.patches import PathPa

[Matplotlib-users] 0.99.1 crashes python on Windows XP [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Listers, I recently installed matplotlib 0.99.1 hoping to use mplot3d. However, when doing 'from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D' python itself crashes. Reinstalling matplotlib 0.98.5 gets everything working fine, without mplot3d, of course. I am running Windows XP, python 2.5.2 and nu

Jeff, Here's a quick snippet. I've looked at the test.py file provided with the basemap examples. What I am unclear on are the different ways in which nx and ny are defined. I would like to have this 'automatically' defined, based solely on variables from my input object.. say for example a netcd

Thanks, Matthias, Your code suggestion works. I was aware of xlim but must not have used it correctly, before contacting matplotlib-users. I think I tried set_xlim, but did not use the get_xlim function. With your code added, the minor tick mark locations line up correctly too. Thanks again

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Coordinate transformations and second axis

2009-10-07 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
As far as I know, there is no easy way to do that with mpl (especially when image is involved). You may manually add ticks and ticklabels (but without using set_ticks, etc). If you're using 0.99 and later, you may use axes_grid toolkit, but it has some cons. So, if you're going to use it, please r

2009-10-07 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
Text instances have "get_window_extent" method. However, it requires a renderer instance (because the size of the text depends on the backend), i.e., the size of the text is only known during the drawing time. The easiest ways is to call get_window_extent without any argument, but after figure is

Re: [Matplotlib-users] move a line from one subplot to another

2009-10-07 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
moving around artists form one axes to the other can be very tricky due to the underlying design of mpl. So, it is generally better idea to create artists for each axes, instead of reusing them. For a simple case as yours, adding the following line after line.remove() will work. line._transformSe

Hi Ann, I'm not sure I understood correctly, but maybe it is useful to change the xlimits slightly, e.g. datetime(1998,4,20,0) instead of (the default value in this case) datetime(1998,4,20,1): ax.set_xlim( date2num(datetime(1998,4,20,0)), ax.get_xlim()[1] ) > Also the minor tick marks do not
