[Matplotlib-users] newbie question: type check?

Hi, quick question from a Python noob: Suppose I have an instance of an object of matplotlib, Is there any way to check on its type, e.g., whether it is an instance of matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplots? Cheers! Nico -- This S

Re: [Matplotlib-users] contour plots with logarithmic axes

Contour will work as expected if the axes is in log scale. See below. z = np.arange(100).reshape((10,10)) x = np.logspace(0, 4, 10) y = np.logspace(0, 4, 10) ax1 = subplot(121) ax1.contour(np.log10(x), np.log10(y), z) ax2 = subplot(122) ax2.set_xscale("log") ax2.set_yscale("log") ax2.contour(x,

My guess is that somehow the output format of bbox device in the recent ghostscript has changed. What kind of output do you get when you run > gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bbox test.eps in your shell (replace "test.eps" with any eps file you have) I get GPL Ghostscript 8.61 (2007-11-21) Copyr

[Matplotlib-users] contour plots with logarithmic axes

Is there any way to simply make a contour plot with logarithmic axes using matplotlib? I found a workaround by plotting log10(x), log10(y), but it'd be nicer if it was more direct. As someone new to matplotlib (experienced in IDL) I'm finding much to like, but some things are more difficult for

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

OK JJ, After reading your explanation, I have tried my current Qt4Agg and PS backends. As you told coloring worked only with PS backend. See my sample test-snippets. plt.rcParams["text.latex.preamble"] = r"\usepackage{color}" plt.plot(range(10)); plt.ylabel("\color{red} {red}, \color{blue} {blue

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Save eps ghostscript error

Thanks for looking at this. I upgraded to 99.1.1 (although the tar file was named 99.1.2) and I got the same error message. When I played with the ps.usedistiller option I found it only doesn't work when I set ps.usedistiller to xpdf. With False or ghostscript it works ok but gives me output wi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

First of all, to use "\color" with TeX, you need to use "color" package, i.e., you need to modify your latex preamble to include that package. This can be done by import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["text.latex.preamble"] = r"\usepackage{color}" I guess the error you encounter is because

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Save eps ghostscript error

You code works okay with the current svn. See if changing the distiller option makes any difference ("ps.usedistiller" in the rc file). The best would be for you to upgrade to the recent release of matplotlib if possible. Regards, -JJ On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 8:35 AM, John Reid wrote: > Hi, >

This seems like the solution. However when I try: I[1]: plt.plot(range(10)) I[2]: plt.ylabel(r"{\color{red} a red text}") It doesn't function and produce an ugly set of error messages: I[3]: ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or in

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Setting Relative Heights For Figure Rows

Hi Chris, I think pyplot.axes does what you are after, e.g. ax1 = axes([0.1, 0.3, 0.8, 0.6]) ax2 = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.1]) Kind regards, Matthias from the docs of pyplot.axes: `axes(rect, axisbg='w')`` where *rect* = [left, bottom, width, height] in normalized (0, 1) units. *axisbg* is

[Matplotlib-users] Setting Relative Heights For Figure Rows

I wanted to display my figure legend below my figure in the second row, so I used subplot(211) to create two rows. However, this creates two rows of equal height, so my graph is crammed into half the figure height in the first row, while my tiny legend barely fills up any of the second row. How do

Hi Gökhan, Do you have usetex=True set? If so, have you tried the LaTeX command sequence \color{red}{Red text goes here} ? Regards, -- Damon -- Damon McDougall Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL d.mcdoug...@warwick.ac.uk On 11 Jan 2010, at 05:4
