[Matplotlib-users] Overlapping labels in pie charts

2010-03-23 Thread Rune V . Sjøen
Hello, I am having some issues generating pie charts, when some of the slices become very small, their labels will draw on top of each other, making it impossible to distinguish between them. And I am trying to avoid using a legend. Does anyone know if there is a way to properly position labels

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Sharing axes on multiple subplots

2010-03-23 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
In the current implementation, sharing the axis does not mean sharing its scale. This is not a subplots-specific issue, but applies to all kind of axes sharing. So you need to change the scale of all the axes even though they have shared axis. What seems to be a better approach to me is to

[Matplotlib-users] Why the name Axes?

How was the name Axes chosen for the Axes component? :) It did confuse me for at least two days while I was first learning mpl. It's in my thoughts again as I'm writing some wrapper classes for it; what were the alternatives considered, even after the fact? :)

The example assumes that the file is a dump of uin16 512x512 array. So, no doubt that it won't work with a png file. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/image_tutorial.html -JJ On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 9:41 AM, yogesh karpate yogeshkarp...@gmail.com wrote: The 1st code snippet of

This should be doable using the annotation. Here is a simple cook-up I just did. it uses a naive algorithm to place the labels, but I guess it gives you an idea how things work. a screenshot is attached. Regards, -JJ from pylab import * # make a square figure and axes figure(1,
