Re: [Matplotlib-users] Legend outside plot?

2011-02-10 Thread Paul Anton Letnes
Matplotlib is great! I created all my figures in this paper [0] using matplotlib. I am impressed with the quality you get. I attach the plotting script for fig. 9, which does exactly what you want, I believe. There is a lot of other junk in there, so look for the "legend" function, it all happen

[Matplotlib-users] a function to prevent "overdraw" of minor ticks/gridlines

2011-02-10 Thread Daniel Hyams
I've attached a small demo code that solves a problem I was having; when the grid for the major and minor ticks are both drawn, the minor grid is drawn over the top of the major grid. This can make the grid at the majors look a little messy. The same thing was happening for the ticks as well; min

Hi, I would simply try to attach the legend to the figure object instead of the axis. On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 4:20 PM, Jeff Layton wrote: > Good evening, > > I've been trying to find a way to move the legend outside > the plot so it doesn't cover it up. I've seen some things > online but I can

I hate to be the first one to comment on this post but I forgot to give the error message and version of matplotlib. The error is, Traceback (most recent call last): File "./multi_file_test_2.py", line 460, in ax.legend( (p1[0], p2[0]), ('IO Time', 'Total Elapsed Time'), bbox_to_anchor

2011-02-10 Thread Jeff Layton
Good evening, I've been trying to find a way to move the legend outside the plot so it doesn't cover it up. I've seen some things online but I can quite get them to work (probably just my lack of knowledge about matplotlib). The section of code creating the plot looks like, fig = plt.fi

Hi there, I'm plotting some images in latitude/longitude space. These are images generated using the HEALpix method for discretizing the sphere, but I have resampled them to a regular grid of phi, theta, and the resultant image is contained in a variable img. This is a fully-self contained snipp

Re: [Matplotlib-users] onpick on a 2 y plot ( via twinx() ) seems to only allow picking of second axes's artists

2011-02-10 Thread Stephan Markus
Right now I use a customized FigureCanvasTkAgg and overwrite the draw() and resize() methods to reset the z-order of the axes before drawing / resizing the figure and to restore the desired z-order afterwards. This works quite well but it would be nice to have the picking work like in version <=0.
