[Matplotlib-users] Basemap to KML polygon

2008-07-22 Thread Lionel Roubeyrie
Looks like I've done a mistake with my last post, sorry Eli... I know how to save datas to a shapefile with the OGR library but only for points datas. I'll appreciate if somebody can point me how to save a filled contour map basemap into a polygon shapefile, can't find any example with google. Th

As an alternative, you could just use Unicode to insert the Greek characters: r"α-Fe (Someone 2003)" The default font used by matplotlib, Vera Sans, includes a full set of Greek characters. This, of course, requires an editor that supports Unicode and a coding directive at the top of your sour

[Matplotlib-users] *Non-interactive* image generation?

2008-07-22 Thread "Jonathan Hayward http://JonathansCorner.com"
I would like to use pylab in a CGI script that would generate a pie chart/bar graph/..., save it to a file, and then be able to output the image from the file. Everything that I've tried works if I run the script from my shell, but when it runs on my test box (or, for that matter, a sudo without a

You probably want to look at this FAQ: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#APPSERVER Or the slightly more updated and elaborate answer in the new (in-progress) docs: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/faq/howto_faq.html#how-do-i-use-matplotlib-in-a-web-application-server Cheers,

Thanks, This seems to be a solution. I have an editor that supports unicode. But, can you please explain better how do I make the coding directive at the top of my source files ? Where do I write the command: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- Is it inside the python script ? Sorry for the ignorance. Eli

Yes, you would put it at the top of your .py file. In order to use Unicode in Python source code, you have to tell the Python interpreter what encoding the file is in. That's done with a little "magic" comment at the top of the file. The popular Unixy editors (emacs, vim etc.) also understand
