Hi Ben, I'm using mpl 0.99 on Ubuntu 10.10, and whether I use contour or contourf I get a plot that is laying in the X-Y plane with contour loops extending into the +z direction. The contour plot itself looks right (if I could get it to be 2D instead of 3D), it's just its orientation and non-plana

[Matplotlib-users] Plotting 2D contourf in Axes3D X-Z plane instead of X-Y plane

Hi All, I have a 2D grid comprised of 100 nodes in X, 300 nodes in Z, and a single node in Y. I have a scalar value defined at each node point. I want to display this planar grid in 3D by first rendering a contour plot (no problems there) and then rotating it such that it plots as a vertical shee

[Matplotlib-users] Problem with GTK backends after compiling matplotlib

2011-08-30 Thread Craig Finch
I successfully built Python 2.7.2, NumPy 1.61, and Scipy 0.9.0 in my home directory on a Centos5 system.  I am trying to build matplotlib 1.0.1 in my home directory, but I am having a problem with the GTK backends.  I also built pycairo 1.2.2, pygobject 2.14.2, and pygtk 2.10.6 in my home direct

[Matplotlib-users] Inner boundaries in tricontourf

2011-08-30 Thread Tijs de Kler
Hey Matplotlib users, Im trying to use the tricontourf function in matplotlib to reduce the complexity of an unstructured dataset into contours. The resulting contours are retrieved from the path by the to_polygon() function, but i have some trouble distinguishing inner boundaries on the polygo
