[Matplotlib-users] Feedback on an implementation of a matlab-ish "datacursor"

2013-03-12 Thread Joe Kington
I recently got around to polishing up a snippet I've been using for quite awhile. https://github.com/joferkington/mpldatacursor/ and I was hoping to get some feeding on the current implementation. "mpldatacursor" allows a user to easily click on an artist and display a customizable, interactive

[Matplotlib-users] removing paths inside polygon

2013-03-12 Thread Andrew Dawson
Hi I'd like to be able to clip a line so that the portion of it lying outside of a given polygon remains visible and the part that lies inside of the polygon is not visible. What I want is basically the opposite of: line.set_clip_path(polygon) which leaves only the part of the line inside th

I hadn't spotted you were using the WxAgg backend too - this looks like the same bug that Brendan reported yesterday. The *easiest* solution would be to use another back-end until this is fixed. Do you have 'TkAgg' available? I currently do not have a wx installation to hand to try out any workaro

Hi, Did some more testing with the "http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx5.html"; example and see the same problem/crash. Attached the slightly adapted version of the script (using wxPython 2.9 and wx.App instead of wx.SimpleApp which is deprecated in 2.9) and the s

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting with WxAgg backend hangs

I don't know of any reason why one shouldn't be able to use the wxAgg backend interactively. This looks like a bug to me. Would you mind adding this as an issue on the github issue tracker? Thanks, On 11 March 2013 19:06, Brendan Barnwell wrote: > I'm 64-bit Windows 7 with matplotlib 1

Hi Sudheer, Try the interactive mode ( http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.ion): >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> plt.ion() >>> plt.plot(range(10)) [] **a figure pops up here and hands you back the python command line** >>> Regards, On 12 March 2013 00:04, S
