[Matplotlib-users] inset_axes and polar plots

Hi everybody, I'm trying to insert polar axes into another axis. I need to place many windrose-like plots (bar plots in a polar axis) inside an xy plot. I need them to move while panning the xy plot. To do so, I tried with inset_axes, but I cannot force the new axis to be polar. Or is there a bet

[Matplotlib-users] adding a "number of minor tick marks between major tick marks" feature

Matplotlib developers, I really like using matplotlib to create quality plots, and it seems to have an option for just about everything. However, one thing that is not easy to change is the location of minor tick marks. To set major tick mark locations, one can simply use the "xticks" command

Just out of curiosity, is anyone using the fontconfig way of mapping fonts? I turned it on one day, but the immediate problem was that no mathtext worked any more; so I turned it back off. Any mathtext in titles, labels, etc. just rendered as a much of seemingly random letters. And I'll tack a s

Re: [Matplotlib-users] report a problem on importing pylab OR pyplot error

I think you may have an .afm font file on your system that the AFM parser in matplotlib is having trouble with. Can you use the debugger to figure out what the value of "fpath" is on line 578 of font_manager.py is in the traceback below? Then we could figure out what the difficult file is. Mi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] small bugfix in font_manager.py

The fontManager is essentially a replacement for what fontconfig provides on many platforms -- so it's intended that the fontManager doesn't exist if the user opts to use fontconfig. However, that's still an "experimental" option because it hasn't been formally tested on many platforms, and, a

Re: [Matplotlib-users] display multi languages in a string.
