[Matplotlib-users] Automatic selection of different colormaps for anomaly intensity data

2015-07-02 Thread George Nurser
Hi, I've been following the discussions about the new default colormaps. I think it might be really helpful if the default behaviour were that matplotlib simply examined your data (Z, say), and if (1) Z.max() Z.min() had the same sign then used a sequential colormap whereas if (2) Z.max()

[Matplotlib-users] Bugs for transformLimits?

Such as example below. I want to put a new ax at data coordinates [(45,45),(50,50)], but the transform fail to transform data coordinates to axes. import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib as mpl from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages
