[Matplotlib-users] clabel font

Dear all, I am making a contour plot using matplotlib. The title and axis annotations require math symbols so I set usetex=True in the rc('text',usetex). However that made ALL texts in LaTeX (incl. contour labels) and the contour labels look not satisfying when rendered by TeX. What I needed is La

[Matplotlib-users] 3D plotting support

2007-08-14 Thread Kaushik Ghose
Hi Everyone, I vaguely remember a comment from a poster a short while back that suggested that 3D support in matplotlib was not serious. I would like to ask what plans there are for 3D plotting support in this great library. thanks! -Kaushik

[Matplotlib-users] 3D plot tick labels overlap axes

2007-08-14 Thread Sim Harbert
When I updated from Matplotlib 0.90 to 0.90.1 the axis tick labels started overlaping the axes themselves. In 0.90 they are slightly offset and are readable, but in 0.90.1 they are very hard to read. Is there some way I can fix this easily? I guess I can roll back to 0.90 since I don't seem t

In matplotlib 0.90.1, the trigger to render the string with math formatting is if the string that is ultimately passed to the plotting engine starts and ends with a '$'. So to get your expression to work, you would need to do something like: vlostring="$v_{lo}=%5.2f$" % (vlo) Does that wor

Re: [Matplotlib-users] nD plotting

This demonstrates the *solution*--the problem is that scatter() does not automagically perform color mapping for the edge and face colors. Perhaps this is a 'feature', but if so (or even if not) maybe the documentation should be clarified (I figured 'c' and 'color' were equivalent, like other m

One thing you have missed is the behavior of pylab.cm.jet. If you pass it an integer array, it treats the integers as indices into the default jet colormap, with 256 colors. If you pass it a float array, the floats must be scaled from 0 to 1, in which case you will get scaled values from the
