[Matplotlib-users] show density in scatter

2011-05-18 Thread Neal Becker
Using scatter, it seems less probably (numerous) points show just as much as more probable points. Can anyone suggest a good way to emphasize the more probable points? I was thinking maybe the easy way is just scale down the markers. Drawback may be too many points plotted. Colors would be n

I have an old fedora 11 system. When I try to use latex math (e.g., $\mu=2$), it gives no error, but seems to produce gibberish (just ordinary ascii chars) in my pdf output. Any ideas how to debug? I found that a trivial 'hello_world.tex' could run through pdflatex OK. -

2011-05-17 Thread Neal Becker
I have several line graphs on a single plot. I'd like to indicate what is the mean of each of them (they are showing cumulative distributions). Each is a different color. I tried putting 'mean=xxx' into the legend. That works, but I think it's confusing. The legend normally displays independ

2011-05-02 Thread Neal Becker
I asked this a while back, but never explained myself clearly. I'm using pdfpages to plot multiple graphs on multiple pages. I want the graphs to come out on the same scales. Would it be reasonable to try to autoscale them and yet come out on the same scale? Maybe would be easier to just
