[Matplotlib-users] subplot2grid weird for non-square shapes

If been playing around with the new Gridspec and subplot2grid stuff, and it's pretty cool... one thing is confusing me though: It doesn't seem to make any sense if the grid is non-square. For example, suppose a 2x6 grid, which I will number like so: 1 3 5 7 9 11 2 4 6 8 10 12 I want ax1 to take

[Matplotlib-users] Cygwin Install

I found a web page in which someone has done the horrible task of figuring out how the hell you compile in Cygwin. Details below: http://innuendopoly.org/arch/matplotlib-cygwin In short, the Cygwin compile runs into TONS of errors as is, and it seems the matplotlib developers aren't really suppo

Ok, it is a backend issue: I checked and I was using Qt4Agg as soon as I changed to TkAgg the script worked fine... still is this normal or is it a bug? thanks for your suggestion and help! Chiara From: chiaracaro...@hotmail.com To: ben.r...@ou.edu Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 03:01:54 + CC: matplo

[Matplotlib-users] realtime plotting was working with matplotlib 0.99.1.1 and it doesn't with matplotlib 1.0.0

Hi all, I have a script to update a plot in real time. It was working fine with matplotlib 0.99.1.1 but it doesn't work anymore with the new version. Here is the script: import numpy as n import pylab as p x=n.arange(10) y=n.random.randn(10) p.ion() fig=p.figure(1) ax=fig.add_subplot(111) lin

Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply. I did try to match font.family and font.$family and I am using matplotlib 0.99.0. I did find something interesting... For testing, I tried only using font.family line, (deleting font.$family line). I got reasonable font for "monospace", "fantasy" "sans-serif" and "ser

[Matplotlib-users] Map displayed on a plot

Hello all, I am plotting satellite orbit files and it looks really nice to plot an Earth in the center with the continents on it to orient people to where the spacecraft is. Does anyway know how to do this? All I seem to be able to do is create a whole globe as the figure. In this simple ex

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Not scaling patches.

That doesn't quite work the way I want. I guess a good example of the behavior I am looking for is what 'scatter' does. It seems that regardless of the size of the figure the points stay the same size. I would use scatter but would like to have access to the individual patches later to modify them.
