[Matplotlib-users] sensible tick labels for log scale?

2011-01-12 Thread Christopher Fonnesbeck
I'm wondering if there is a way of automating tick labeling on log-scale axes, so that labels do not overlap. Specifically, when the values get large, they overlap which makes the labels unreadable. I would expect them to automatically get more sparse with the axis value, as they do when you gen

[Matplotlib-users] inconsistent spacing in histograms

2010-10-22 Thread Christopher Fonnesbeck
I notice that when the number of bins in a histogram is sparse, the spacing between the bins can be irregular. For example: http://cl.ly/7e0ad7039873d5446365 http://cl.ly/c7cb20b567722928ac3c Is there a way of normalizing this, and better, can the default behavior result in something more consi

[Matplotlib-users] gtk backend failure on systems without gtk

2008-01-16 Thread Christopher Fonnesbeck
On some OSX systems, pylab is failing on importing pylab because of lack of GTK. This appears to be a bug; if the system doesnt have gtk, it should simply not import that backend to begin with. >>> from matplotlib import pylab Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "
