I called the kwarg 'scilimits' to emphasize that it works with the 'sci' style; if there are comments to the effect that I should have called it 'powerlimits' for consistency with the corresponding ScalarFormatter method, I can change it. With the change in svn, instead of the line I added above, your call to ticklabel_format would be: ax.ticklabel_format(style='sci', scilimits=(0,0), axis='y') Eric - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users

Yes, this is confusing. The problem is that the "scientific" style uses scientific notation only for sufficiently large or small numbers, with thresholds determined by the powerlimits parameter. The line I added above will force scientific notation. The ticklabel_format method needs another kwarg to enable setting the powerlimits.

I am a little > uncomfortable silently changing the meaning of the old arg. Done, except that it just raises a warning, and still works with the old kwarg. The new kwarg is "borderpad"; it is used if pad==0, which is the new rc default. I set the default borderpad=0.5. There is still too much other positioning in legend that is based on axes units. I briefly tried to start changing others, again with additional kwargs, and things quickly fell apart. Legend needs considerable reworking to take full advantage of the transforms framework (and maybe other mpl improvements since the original legend) and to put all positioning kwargs and code in sensible units. It is amazing that the present code works as well as it does. The way to make a transition may be via a separate version for a while. There could be a single interface, with a kwarg to choose the version.

Hi Guys, I need to clear the Figure after the user has clicked the some button in PyQt, but when I try to plot the graphics again nothing appear. In ipython it works, but when I try it inside my application it does not work. What am I missing? Inside my MplCanvas class (actually it is a QWidget - see embedding_in_qt4.py in matplotlib examples file - user_interface) I have this code: self.fig = Figure(figsize=(self.width, self.height), dpi=dpi) And then in my main application I'm trying to do: self.canvas.figure.clf() self.canvas.draw() self.canvas.axes.plot([1.,2.,4.]) and nothing is plotted. The Figure is totally gray. I tried to do the same thing in embedding_in_qt4.py example, modifying some parts, but it didn't work too. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! Best regards, Bernardo M.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting loop refuses to update display on OS X
functions like raw_input blok the mianloop of some gui backends (e.g.,
gtk) but work fine with some other backend (although Tk is the only
backend I know of). So my guess is that you used a different backend
with 0.98.1.
I guess you have a few options.
* try different backend (Tk) with 0.98.3
* use ginput
* or try a ginput-like routine that I made sometime ago which works
okay with raw_input.

[Matplotlib-users] Plotting loop refuses to update display on OS X
I have a Python module that I've written with some pylab plotting
routines in it. One of them loops over a list of objects, generating
some plots based on the data associated with each list member in
turn. It's meant to be an interactive way to step through the list
and see what the things look like.
I have the loop set up to wait for user input before going on to the
next object, using
x = raw_input("press return for next fit: ")
but for some reason, the plot window never updates. I've tried
putting both draw() and show() immediately
before the raw_input() line, and neither works. The plot only seems
to update when I ctrl-C out of the loop, and otherwise, I just get the
spinning beachball when I mouseover the plot.
I'm using Matplotlib 0.98.3 on OS X (10.5.5) with the built-in python
from Apple I think (2.5.1). I'm calling the plotting routine from
ipython 0.8.3 using the -pylab option.
The same script previously worked fine under Matplotlib 0.98.1
Other plotting routines from the same module seem to work fine - it's
only this plot within a loop that's giving me trouble.
Any ideas?

[Matplotlib-users] tcl/tk install problems
Folks, I am trying to install, in a private 'space', 0.98.3 on a linux x86-64 scientific cluster on which I am not the admin. tcl/tk is indeed installed, and I know where they are. matplotlib cannot find them. When running 'python setup.py build', tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh are on the path. It seems tcl/tk detection is a persistent issue, from searching the web. My head hurts right now on this, so I hope there's some kind of an answer. Some output: > python setup.py build BUILDING MATPLOTLIB matplotlib: 0.98.3 python: 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Sep 25 2008, 16:58:03) [GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-38)] platform: linux2 REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES numpy: 1.1.1 freetype2: 9.10.3 OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: 1.2.10 Tkinter: Tkinter: 50704, Tk: 8.4, Tcl: 8.4 * Guessing the library and include directories for * Tcl and Tk because the tclConfig.sh and * tkConfig.sh could not be found and/or parsed.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] vertical padding in legend

This looks to me like a design flaw: the pad is "fractional" (fraction of legend box size), when logically it should be in something like units of legend text height, or possibly in points. This might be easy enough to change, although for backwards compatibility we would need to use a new kwarg.
