[Matplotlib-users] Help in solving a segfault problem?

2011-03-10 Thread Nicolas SCHEFFER
Hi all, I am stuck on matplotlib generating a segfault when invoking 'plot'. I've ben trying to solve this problem for a while now but no luck. I've seen many duplicates of this problem on the web, some with solutions, some without. The solution must be something more generic that I'm missing.

[Matplotlib-users] bins and histograms

2011-03-10 Thread Andrea Crotti
I'm having some troubles understanding basic concepts. Suppose I want to do something like this, given a dictionary values = { (0,10) : 0.5, (10, 20) : 0.3 } and so on, where the key is a time slot interval and the value is the value I want to plot. What should be the correct way to

[Matplotlib-users] alternative to imshow with polar axes ?

2011-03-10 Thread Auré Gourrier
Dear all, Once again, I turn for help. I'm trying to plot a polar image using colormap values for the theta values and increasing alpha values along the radius. I do this using imshow passing the rgba tuple at each pixel position which works very nicely with rectangular axes, but fails to

The hist function expects a list of values that it bins up and counts to form the histogram (see numpy.hist). That's why it is plotting one count for each of the values you gave it. You already have your counts, you just want to make a step plot out of them. Look at the drawstyle keyword of the

Thanks, I read some of your previous posts dealing with the pcolor and tried this route but didn't succeed yet... I really agree with you on the interest of having an option to pass an array rather than value for the alpha keyword ! De : Benjamin Root

Hi Goyo, Thanks a lot. tight='True' worked fine in my autoscale_view(). It's doing just what I needed. I have to confess that object-oriented programming seems very counter-intuitive to me. Hopefully it will come more naturally soon. Along the same lines of my original query, this one I think

[Matplotlib-users] alpha bug in Polygon

If the color of a polygon is set to 'none' (meaning no fill), the alpha set for that polygon doesn't seem to apply to the boundary of that polygon. To see this, change the following line in integral_demo.py (in the matplotlib gallery): poly = Polygon(verts, facecolor='0.8', edgecolor='k') to

Hi! Changing the alpha-channel of a plotted image doesn't work for me in an ipython (pylab) shell. The example below illustrates the problem (i hope so at least ...) Running it with %run - everything is fine and the two images look the same. Runing it line by line without the show, the figure
