[Matplotlib-users] custom color cycle from cmap

2010-04-08 Thread KrishnaPribadi
Hi, I'm trying to plot a set of lines, 12 to be exact, and the default color cycle only supports 8 or 9 distinct colors. That said, I looked up the color maps and segmented it using 12 constant intervals with the hope of getting 12 distinct colors. The problem I'm running in to is that some of

Sorry, my bad. I always hit reply without checking... it is not the first time did that, Here is the solution for the list sake: trim image import StringIO, Image imgdata = StringIO.StringIO() fig.savefig(imgdata, dpi=300, format='png') imgdata.seek(0) im = Image.open(imgdata) def trim(im,

Thanks Tony. That helps clean up the code. Now that I think about it more, I actaually had 2 questions. The first you answered well. The second question relates to my problem when using this method in that it produces line colors where some colors are too similar. In other words, there isn't

The following works without the --pylab switch but not with it. The error I get is some how related to a call to get the active figure which returns None. C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mpl_toolkits\basemap\__init__.pyc in set_axes_limi ts(self, ax) 2531 if is_interactive(): 2532

[Matplotlib-users] 2 lines, 2 diff colors, when converged, gets 3rd color...

2010-04-08 Thread KrishnaPribadi
I'm plotting 2 lines with 2 colors. The lines are binary so they are somewhat square. When the lines converge on a same value for a period, their colors combine and turn into a 3rd color Is there a way to force the plotting to not blend the 2 colors together? I just want the 2nd line to lay

The default behavior should be for the lines not to blend. Can you provide a short example script that illustrates what you're seeing? Or an image? Mike KrishnaPribadi wrote: I'm plotting 2 lines with 2 colors. The lines are binary so they are somewhat square. When the lines converge on a

Yes, Thanks, Friedrich. :-) This is exactly what I want. By now I know we have to plot over a uniformly sampled plane any way at the end of the day, no matter whether our original data is uniformly sampled or not. Zhe Yao On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Friedrich Romstedt

[Matplotlib-users] getting legend loc

2010-04-08 Thread Peter Butterworth
Hi, I'm having trouble getting some properties that are easily set : leg=legend(loc=0) is there a way to retrieve the legend location ? In a similar vein : axis('scaled') is there a way to retrieve the scaled property ? If no methods/properties are available in the default API is it possible
