Re: [Matplotlib-users] [newbie] 2 problems: a) CJK, b) adding letters to points
Dear Gökhan, thanks a lot for your reply and help! I could solve some of my problems, others remain elusive. On 16/03/10 07:59, Gökhan Sever wrote: Probably you need a unicode font-set that contain all the characters for those alphabets. You can look at this example to see a simple unicode demonstration example. Yes, I have done that, for example: ylab = plt.ylabel(u'输入 2') Make sure you are using the right font in your matplotlib. Well, here I get stuck. I checked the fontList.cache, and all the relevant CJK fonts are listed in there. I then added some CJK font names to my /etc/matplotlibrc: (I am using Ubuntu 9.10) #font.sans-serif : SimHei, Adobe Song Std, Bitstream Vera Sans, ... #font.cursive: Apple Chancery, ... #font.fantasy: Comic Sans MS, ... #font.monospace : Adobe Fangsong Std, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, ... In addition, I also defined rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['SimHei'] in my Python code (attached). All to no avail. I am at a loss. I would greatly appreciate some help here! You have to adjust your label to get it seen. You may try with: xlab = plt.xlabel(my x-axes label) xlab.set_position((0.2, 0.1)) This did not yield any results. With the above code, xlab.set_position((0.2, 0.1)), I change the position of the xlabel. But the problem is that my graph is cut before the xlabel has a chance to appear (see dea.png). Basically the graph ends right after the x-axis. What I thus need is more whitespace under my x-axis. But how? Two ways I can think of are: annotate and text functions of pyplot api. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html This worked fine! What I did was to define text( 1, 4.2, u'A') etc. Thanks for your ideas and insights!

[Matplotlib-users] Alpha compositing of ~60000 line p lots takes forever
I want to overlay many line plots using alpha transparency. However, plotting them in Matplotlib takes about O(n**2) time, and I think I may be running into memory limitations as well. As a simple benchmark, I used IPython to run alco.ipy (below), which runs alco.py for an increasing number of data series. Extrapolating from this, plotting 6 series would take something like 200 minutes. This is similar to my actual use case, which takes about 3 hours to finish a plot. Zooming in and saving again is much faster, taking only about 30 seconds. I would appreciate suggestions on how to speed this up. For instance: Is there a memoryless canvas object that I could draw on, just accumulating the alpha in each pixel: new_alpha = old_alpha + (1 - old_alpha) * this_alpha. Failing that, I could do it manually by keeping a Numpy array of the pixels in the image. For each series, find the x values corresponding to each column index, then interpolate to find the row index corresponding to each y value. Finally, use imshow() or something to add axes and annotation. That you in advance for any help. Best regards, Jon Olav == Output of alco.ipy == The columns are number of series and seconds.

[Matplotlib-users] How to create 3D plots?
Hi, I would like to create 3D plots. A search revealed the following page: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/mplot3D which explains to install matplotlib version 0.99 to use the 3D code. Unfortunately, after installingmatplotlib-0.99.1.1 (from matplotlib-0.99.1.2.tar.gz) I am not able to use the 3D code. The command that show that the correct version is used together with the error is shown below. Any idea how I can use this code? Do I have to downgrade to the 0.91.x maintenance branch? Or do you suggest to use mayavi (http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/mlab.html)? I also tried to install the latter, after 1 hour of installing code and requirements and cmake and easyinstall.. I got the error that VTK is not installed.

Hello, Unfortunately, the mplot3D page on the SciPy cookbook is not up to date.

You can rotate the axis in mplot3d :-) I would say from your error log (the file matplotlib/axes3d.py exists whereas it does not in my mpl 0.99.0) that you did not uninstall the old matplotlib cleanly.

[Matplotlib-users] How do you add contrasting text to color image
I have I have an image with both light and dark regions. I want to write text on it in a color that contrasts with the underlying image color. Right now if I make the text black, it is not very legible if the underling color is dark. Similarly, if I make the text white, it is not legible if the underlying color is light. (using gray text will not work) One way to solve the problem would be to: -produce the image e.g. im1=plt.imshow (zM,origin='lower',interpolation='hanning',extent=None) -get the underlying color from the image where I want to place the text Need help here. How do I get the color from im1 -calculate a contrasting color Need help here -plot the text in the contrasting color Another way would be to use a font with a dark edge and light interior (or vice versa) but I know of know such font for matplotlib.

[Matplotlib-users] How to 'rotate' a 3D plot?
Hi, I have successfully created a 3D scatter plot with mplot3d, but how can I rotate the plot around e.g. the z-axis? I do not want to use the user interface but I would like to use a command to do that. But I could not find good documentation anywhere and the commands attributed to the Axes3D also do not show anything obvious.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to 'rotate' a 3D plot?
There is an uncommented, and therefore undocumented function: axes3d.view_init(elev, azim) that you can use to rotate the axes. If you have not already, I suggest you use the current SVN version of MPL instead of the 0.99.1 version.

[Matplotlib-users] [CJK] can create png but not eps
Hello everybody, I have a final problem with my graph. As a last step I produce an *.eps file that I use in conjunction with LaTeX. Here is the last part of my code: # plt.title('Title') xlab = plt.xlabel(u'输入 1') #xlab.set_position((0.2, 0.1)) ylab = plt.ylabel(u'输入 2') plt.grid(True) plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2) plt.show() plt.savefig('dea.eps') plt.show() produces the correct output, but plt.savefig('dea.eps') produces an error (the error message is attached). The error is clearly linked to the Chinese, as it runs through if I take the Chinese out of the code. Also, plt.savefig('dea.png') works fine. Could anyone indicate where I would have to look for the mistake? The matplotlibrc should be fine, but I am not sure. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] [CJK] can create png but not eps
The font you are using (SimHei) does not have any glyph names -- these are used in the Postscript backend to refer to glyphs outside of the ASCII range. More specifically, it looks like it has at least one invalid glyph name (glyph names can only contain ASCII characters) -- loading it in FontForge complains about this. I haven't come across such a font before, but maybe that's common in CJK fonts. I don't know. I'm looking through the spec to find a way that glyphs can be referenced without a name, but I'm not finding one. Note, the PDF backend has the same issue. Do you have the same problem if you remove SimHei from the font.sans-serif list and thus use Adobe Song Std instead? (I was able to find an online download of SimHei to test with, but not Adobe Song Std). As a workaround, the Cairo backend seems to handle this font just fine. You can add import matplotlib matplotlib.use('GtkCairo') to the top of your script. Mike David wrote: Hello everybody, I have a final problem with my graph.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] [CJK] can create png but not eps
Dear Michael, thanks for your input. So far, though, no luck. I have deleted SimHei in matplotlibrc, and I can then continue generating CJK characters. The png is generated, the eps is not. Thus, no change. The error output is also the same: RuntimeError: Face has no glyph names WARNING: Failure executing file: dea.py I have tried import matplotlib matplotlib.use('GtkCairo') as you suggested, but they had no effect whatsoever. Even the error output is the same. I attach my code, maybe that gives a hint. Note: in line 327 and 328 of the matplotlibrc I have added ps.fonttype=42 pdf.fonttype=42 whereas I have uncommented pdf.fonttype: 3 Any ideas? I would most welcome any hint and suggestion!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] installling on ubuntu
For the Windows machine, if you installed with the superpack, you should find an deinstaller in the Python directory called Removematplotlib.exe, I *guess* it only removes in fact the matplotlib package. You can also safely rename (or delete) the old matplotlib directory and the mpl_toolkits directory in Python-dir\Lib\site-packages\. Ah I see, you mean how to deinstall on Ubuntu? I would recommend to rename the old folders in your site-package directory to, say, matplotlib_ and mpl_toolkits_, and when you are shure later you could be able to safely remove.

[Matplotlib-users] Is there a maximum number of x tickmarks?
I have an issue with showing more than 81 tick marks on an X axis and I am trying to determine a way around it. Background... I am plotting vectors in which each element represents a different variable and I really do want to see the labels associated with each element. The vectors may be only 8 elements long, or as much as 110. When there are more than say 40 elements, I usually split the plot into two plots contained in a single figure window (e.g., plotting elements 0:30 in fig.add_subplot(211) and 30:60 in fig.add_subplot(212)). Here are a couple of examples... Only 41 variables: http://old.nabble.com/file/p27924845/Factor_2_TrainingProfiles.png 71 variables: http://old.nabble.com/file/p27924845/Factor_2_TrainingProfiles.jpeg I have a vector with a 105 elements and before I split things into three plots I wanted to see what cramming 53 or so variables into a single set of axes would look like. But, my code that works for these cases does not show enough tickmarks for the 105 element data. Here is an example that you can copy and paste to see for yourself. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.ticker import MaxNLocator fig = plt.figure(figsize=[12,7]) ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(range(110)) fig.canvas.draw() ints = range(1,111) ints = [str(num) for num in ints] ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(MaxNLocator(110)) xtickNames = plt.setp(ax, xticklabels=ints) plt.setp(xtickNames, rotation=90, fontsize=7); If you play with the argument to MaxNLocator, you'll see how for smaller values (like 40) things work as expected (or at least how I have shown the code has worked for the smaller data sets). I have been poking around trying to see what options I have and have not found anything to get past this limit. Before I start diving into source code, can anyone suggest -Is there a limit? -Is there an obvious way to accomplish what I need? Ultimately, I may split large vectors like this into more than two plots but hitting that limit has made me want to investigate why.

Before I start diving into source code, can anyone suggest -Is there a limit? -Is there an obvious way to accomplish what I need? Ultimately, I may split large vectors like this into more than two plots but hitting that limit has made me want to investigate why. Thanks! Oh these busy chemical compound plots :) Are those results of gas chromatography analysis? Something like below produces a nice fully plotted output here. Could you give it a try? import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot(range(100)) locs, labels = plt.xticks(range(100), range(100)) plt.setp(labels, rotation=90, fontsize=7) plt.show() -- Gökhan -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Contour with locator=FixedLocator(...) drops first and last contours from the list.
Eric, Thank you, thank you, thank you. This not only fixes the problem I reported with with FixedLocator(..) but also another one where I was using MultipleLocator(..) and getting the same problem issue with dropping first and last contours. The later isn't as easy to work-around but your change fixed it. David Smith On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 12:30 PM, Eric Firing efir...@hawaii.edu wrote: David Smith wrote: This is a bug report. I am using matplotlib 0.99.1 on Windows. When using contour with the keyword argument locator=ticker.FixedLocator(levels), the plot is always dropping the first and last contour level. If there are less than 3 levels, contour.py throws an exception. My workaround is to duplicate the first and last levels when using the fixed locator: e.g. my argument becomes locator=FixedLocator( [levels[0]] + levels + [levels[-1]] ) I have traced the problem to the last line in contour.py, method _autolev() which strips the first and last levels if the contours are not filled: return lev[1:-1] This line occurs at line 682 in my version of contour.py which came with the 0.991 installation. I realize that I could specify the levels in the argument V and this does work. However this code is embedded in GUI-ness which allows the user to choose how the contours are selected. Passing the locator seems to be the best option code-wise. I committed a small change to svn trunk (r8190) that I think will handle your use case without fouling anything else up.

I guess the MaxNLocator approach I have been using will place __up__to__ N ticks but not necessarily N ticks? And yes, these chemical profiles are from GCMS and other devices/techniques. I added upper X axis tick labels so you know a given chemical species' name and number; I chose to only have one legend to keep the clutter down as much as possible; I position the upper X axis labels in or outside the plot depending on whether the plot title exists. Luckily, I don't imagine having to deal with more species than 105 any time soon. Thanks again!
