Hi Everyone,
Not really related to my every day work, but I was asking myself how to put
non latin letters, like arabic or hebrew on plots.

I found a way to put german umlauts and ß but this is only a very partial
solution. It would be cool to know how to over come this.

My code to work with umlauts is:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def format(x, pos=None):
   if x == 0.0:
   exp = 0
   else:
   exp = int(np.log10(np.abs(x)))
   mant = x / 10**exp
   return '%.1fE%+d' % (mant, exp)

f = plt.figure()
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) / 100.
ax.plot(data, np.arange(len(data)))

ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format))
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format))
ax.text(0.03,0.5,"Umlauts äüöß"+ u"\u00e4")
plt.show()

If I include arabic or hebrew letters I get Bricks displays.

Thanks in advance,

Oz

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Axes outer position - amount of space for axeslabels

2010-09-23 Thread Stan West

From: Jeremy Lewi [mailto:jl...@intellisis.com] 
Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 17:38

 

Is there a way to get the size of the bounding box for the axes which includes
the axes labels and tick marks? It looks like Axes.get_position/set_position
refers to the inner position (i.e the actual plot area).

Perhaps you could use the get_tightbbox() method possessed by Figure and Axes
instances, although you need to tell it what renderer to use. If you've
already drawn the figure in a GUI window, the method employed by
FigureCanvasBase.print_figure in backend_bases.py might work:

fig = plt.gcf()
bbox = fig.get_tightbbox(fig._cachedRenderer)

You can then get the measurements using such properties and methods as these:

left, bottom, width, height = bbox.bounds
left, bottom, right, top = bbox.get_points().flatten()

Re: [Matplotlib-users] empty xticklabel before plotting ...

Hi Ryan,
Thanks again,

Well your solution is also working.

I get very similar results with

class NiceSciFormatter(Formatter):

def __call__(self, x, pos=None):
a="%1.1E" % x
a=a[:5]+a[-1]
return a

It seems though that your solution enables more fine tuning !

Cheers,
Oz

Hi Ben,
I did try to roughly replace PyQt4 import by PySide import
in my installed matplotlib but pyplot.plot function led to a seg fault...
(PyQt and PySide where indeed compiled with the same Qt lib)

I'm not skilled enough to go further on...

Thanks for your help,

There is no cutting up of objects and ordering them based on distance to 
the viewer, if that's what you're asking.  I see an experiment on github 
that starts to implement that sort of thing, though:

Technically, you're doing something sort of wrong, though it's very
subtle. And it just so happens that the way the code for callbacks was
reworked that this even showed up.
In this code:

class TestFig(MatplotlibFig):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
MatplotlibFig.__init__(self, parent)
PickFig(self.figure)

You create a PickFig, but since you don't assign it to anything, it
gets garbage collected and (eventually) removed from the callbacks.
Previously, the callback registry would have a reference to the
callbacks, which would have kept PickFig alive. This was changed to
eliminate some resource leaks. The fix is simple, just save the
PickFig as a member of TestFig:

self.pf = PickFig(self.figure)

That fixes the problem for me.

Why not just format the number yourself?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def format(x, pos=None):
if x == 0.0:
exp = 0
else:
exp = int(np.log10(np.abs(x)))
mant = x / 10**exp
return '%.2fE%+d' % (mant, exp)

f = plt.figure()
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
data = np.array([1,2,3,4,5]) / 100.
ax.plot(data, np.arange(len(data)))

ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FuncFormatter(format))

plt.show()

Re: [Matplotlib-users] empty xticklabel before plotting ...

Hi Every, Hi Ryan

I finally solved this issue, which bothered me very long.

I managed to make a nicer scientific formatting on the xticks !

from pylab import *
import numpy as N


from matplotlib.ticker import Formatter,FuncFormatter
import os
#class to produce scientific format numbering
class SciFormatter(Formatter):
def __call__(self, x, pos=None):
return "%1.e" % x

class NiceSciFormatter(Formatter):
def __call__(self, x, pos=None):
a="%1.1E" % x
a=a[:5]+a[-1]
return a

fig=figure()
ax=fig.add_subplot(111)

y=[.0001,.0002,.0003,.0004,.0005]
x=[1,2,3,4,5]
ax.plot(x,y)

ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(NiceSciFormatter())

show()


Cheers ,

Oz

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Mouse event blocked in 1.0 but works with 0.93 ?


OK, was able to narrow thinks down:
actually it looks like
figure.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', function)
does not connect the "function" if it is a class method (...?)
In attachment you will find two files illustrating this:
buggy_pick.py and buggy_pick2.py
Both work nicely with matplotlib 0.93
With matplotlib 1.0 buggy_pick.py does not work while buggy_pick2.py 
does work.

The only difference is in the PickFig class...

Is it really a bug or I'm doing something wrong ?

Any workaround would be welcome.

Thx,

David

PS. Is it better to discuss this on users or devel list ?

Not without a better idea of what you're doing. I *can* say that both

Re: [Matplotlib-users] empty xticklabel before plotting ...

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your answer. However, I don't understand from the existing
documentation how to use tickers.

In the past I used the following method:
class SciFormatter(Formatter):
def __call__(self, x, pos=None):
return "%1.1e" % x


axs.yaxis.set_major_formatter(SciFormatter())

This still does not allow me to get read of the zeros that matplotlib
coherces .

I would like to manipulate the strings of the tick labels directly. I know
it's not ideal, but I it should work.

If I could access the label "1.1E+01", I could tell python just to take
label[:-2] and glue it to  label[-1], which will give me
"1.1E+1"

I would be greatful if someone showed me how to access that string.


Cheers,
Oz

Not without a better idea of what you're doing. I *can* say that both
picking examples work fine for me with the Qt4Agg backend. Can you
create a complete, minimal example that replicates the problem you're
seeing? Without that, I'd just be guessing blindly.

What you want is to set a custom formatter:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f = plt.figure()
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3,4,5])
# Formats ticks on the xaxis with the %.2g format string
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.FormatStrFormatter('%.2g'))
plt.show()

If you can't get what you want using a format string, you can write a
function that does what you want can create a formatter from that
using FuncFormatter.

2010-09-23 Thread Aman Thakral

Hi David,

I'm using the pick event in wx (matplotlib 1.0) without any issues.  Could
you please post some sample code?  Have you tried to see if
legend.draggable() works? If so, the pick event is likely not an issue.

Change your subplots adjust parameters to make the default bottom,
left, wspace and hspace wider. This will reduce the chance of
overlaps.

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=subplots_adjust

The defaults can be changed in your rc file

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html

See also these recipes on the FAQ to automatically choose boundaries

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#move-the-edge-of-an-axes-to-make-room-for-tick-labels

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#automatically-make-room-for-tick-labels

Automatic layout to avoid overlap is not an easy problem -- Michael
Droetboom worked on it for a while but didn't get to a satisfactory
point. So far our philosophy has been : make it easy to customize
rather than do it automatically. I realize this is not always a good
approach, especially in automated figure generators where you don't
have access to the data ahead of time.

[Matplotlib-users] empty xticklabel before plotting ...

Hi Everyone,

I don't like the default scientific formatting in matplotlib, IMHO the
format of having a zero after the exponent is a waste of space in my opinion
...
What I mean is that mpl is writing zero as:
0.0e+00 or 1.2e-03. IMHO it would suffice just to do 0.0 and 1.2e-3, which
take less space and looks better (again, imho).

In any case, I would like to access the strings of the yticklables in my
plots and I discovered I can do the following:

setp(axs[2].set_yticklabels(['0.0','2.0E-4','4.0E-4','6.0E-4','8.0E-4','1.0E-3','1.2E-3']))

Which works, but forces me to first look at the output and the redraw
everything with manually feeding the values.
if there is a way to loop on this text values before plotting I will be
happy to know.

I tried doing this:
In [1]: from pylab import *

In [2]: f=figure()

In [3]: ax=f.add_subplot()

In [4]: ax.plot([1,2,3,4,5])
---
AttributeErrorTraceback (most recent call last)

/home/oz/ in ()

In [5]: ax=f.add_subplot(111)

In [10]: a[0].get_text()
Out[10]: ''

In [11]: show()

KeyboardInterrupt:

In [12]: a[0].get_text()
Out[12]: u'0.0

As can be seen, the text string is empty before calling show, which is
forcing me to show the image . Is there a way to access these labales with
out calling show() ?

Thanks in advance,
