[Matplotlib-users] Forcing draw_if_interactive() to bring up new window...

2008-01-29 Thread Tom Johnson
I have functions which plot multiple items to an axis.  Often, I have
the function explicitly turn interactive mode off and then I turn it
back on to what it was before my function was called.  At the end of
my function, I call draw_if_interactive().

Suppose the user had interactive mode on prior to the function call.
The problem I am having is that draw_if_interactive() seems to have no
effect---no figure is drawn unless the user makes a subsequent call to
show().  Is there a way around this?

There are Axes methods invert_xaxis() and invert_yaxis() in recent 
versions of mpl; I don't remember who added them or when.

Thanks for your help.
I didn't know set_ylim can the reversed limits. I am wondering if it
is not a good idea to introduce a method such as axis.set_direction().
Or, axis.set_origin().

Very strange.  I can't reproduce it here (on gutsy, but running
ipython from my own tree). What's odd is this:

In [1]: import Numeric

In [2]: print Numeric.ArrayType



So Numeric *most definitely* has an ArrayType member. Try doing the
same as I did, also showing us whether you started ipython with -pylab
or not.  There may be something odd about your Numeric installation.
Also do this:

In [3]: Numeric?
Type:   module
Base Class: 
Namespace:  Interactive
File:   /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric/Numeric.py

[etc]

It's possible that you have in your path a file called Numeric.py
which is not the 'real' Numeric module.  This would explain your
problem and why nobody else sees it.

Cheers,

f

Hello!

do a
$: sudo apt-get --purge remove matplotlib ipython
to really remove the configuration files. then
$: sudo apt-get install matplotlib ipython
check if pylab is on your system:
$: locate pylab

Here are the contents of pylab:
from matplotlib.pylab import *

so you may just test this in a python shell:

$ python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from matplotlib.pylab import *
 >>>

then do the same from within ipython as I'd shown in my previous mail.

I hope that this helps you to narrow it down.

I have also some troubles with ipython that is currently in Gutsy:

The method in line 3 should work on new and old versions of matplotlib. 
The basic idea is that when axis limits are set, you specify the bottom,

You shouldn't ever find a setup.py file in a binary distribution.  It

[Matplotlib-users] Positioning annotations

2008-01-29 Thread BL
   Hi,

I would like to annotate a bunch of points on a map.
I'm trying to use the annotate function, but it need to know the text
coordinates.
So you have to configure manually in order not to have these annotations
overlap each other.
This is really annoying.

Is there a way to :
  - detect the "best" position for theses annotation as with  loc="best"
argument of the legend function ?
  - let me move theses annotations with the mouse ?
I've heard that matplotlib gives the possibility of using events and
signals. Can this be used in this situation ?
   Is there any example for this ?


Regards,

You should be able to connect events in one window with line
properties in the other to accomplish this -- let us know if you need
any help with this.

I'm running on OSX 10.5.

The installation process for me was the following two commands:
$ easy_install matplotlib
$ easy_install numpy

That's it.  You don't need to manually download the egg.  You don't
need to root around in the egg.  Just run easy_install.  It retrieves  
the
egg and installs it in the correct location.

system.


The installation instructions for OS X are very sketchy and there is  
no readme in the binary. But AFAICT, there ought to be a setup.py  
file in the fat egg distribution folder. However, there is no such  
beast. There is only pylab.py and that isn't a distribution build

line.set_data(xdata, ydata)

is what you are looking for

[Matplotlib-users] atomic line.set_xdata and set_ydata

2008-01-29 Thread Robert Cimrman

Is there a way of simultaneously setting both xdata and ydata of a line? 
I need to animate a line with varying number of points in each frame.

regards,
r.

matplotlib has some support for the kinds of things you are trying to
do -- eg draw an expensive part of the figure, save it, plot something
on top of it, erase it, restore the original figure, etc.  This is
convered in some detail in the animation cookbook recipe.  Although
you are not doing animation, the concepts are quite similar in that
both require copying and restoring a background, and updating the
"animated" object.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to erase items in figures

2008-01-29 Thread Andy Cheesman
The error was due to muppetdom of the highest degree... I've created a 
bash alias which subsituted ipython with ipython ---options. Subsequent 
use of ipython -pylab put the -pylab tab at the end and it was quietly 
ignored

Sorry to waste people time
