[Matplotlib-users] zeros and ones difference between pylab and scipy

2007-10-11 Thread Ryan Krauss
I have successfully (I think) coerced my students into using Scipy/Numpy for signal processing and dynamic system modeling. They are mechanical engineering coming from a Matlab background. In order to make using Python easy and have it feel like Matlab, I teach them to put from scipy import *

[Matplotlib-users] embedding matplotlib in C++ and closing the matplotlib window

2007-10-11 Thread Alexander Schmolck
Hi, I'm using matplotlib in a C++ app (with a qt4 gui), by embedding python with boost::python. The C++ app calls Py_Initialize(), init_myplottingmodule(), and boost::python::import(matplotlib.pylab) once on startup and certain GUI events then fire up a matplotlib window via calls like this one:

Hi Yadin, I am a simple user, but I already faced this problem. The idea I used is to plot the data as an image, with magnitudes being converted in color levels. To do that, you have to define an array (let's say 'Z', Z(x,y) with dims len(X) and len(Y) and fill it with tour magnitudes. Then

[Matplotlib-users] Basemap with origin within the plot

I am trying to prepare a plot on the UK national grid. This is a transverse mercator projection centred on the UK with a false origin offset from the projection origin (lat_0, lon_0). The Basemap coordinate system origin (0 Easting and Northing) always seems to be set in the lower-left

John, I would prefer to be able to use the power and flexibility of datestr2num and the underlying dateutil.parser, rather than writing my own parser. However, looking further at dateutil.parser.parse, it takes an argument tzinfos, which allows timezone names other than the local timezone and
