[Matplotlib-users] line segments in a scatter plot

2014-12-11 Thread Nils Wagner
Hi all, how can I create line segments between consecutive selected points of a scatter plot in an interactive manner ? It should be possible to create several unclosed polygonal lines. Each polygonal line might have a different color. A small example is appreciated. Thanks in advance. --

[Matplotlib-users] subplot axis ticks

Hi all, I'm trying to set the NUMBER of ticks on a subplot axis. Googling I'm finding only how to set the ticks values...but what if I don't know them and for visual reasons I would like to have a fixed number of ticks? thanks Gabriele

Nils, Perhaps the rectangle selector might be of use? It defaults to a draw mode of 'box', but you can set it to line so that it looks like a ruler widget. http://matplotlib.org/api/widgets_api.html#matplotlib.widgets.RectangleSelector I can imagine that you could set up a selector callback that

Hi, I already saw that stack overflow page but this is my code: azal = rif.add_subplot(111) azal.plot(eels*(10**9), averspe, label='data') azal.plot(eels*(10**9), beck, label='fit') I tried to add both azal.yaxis.locator_params(nbins=4) or azal.locator_params(nbins=4) and it doesn't work.

I wonder if setting the locator params prior to plotting would fix that? Might be one of those rare situations where the order of commands matter in matplotlib. Ben Root On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 10:50 AM, Gabriele Brambilla gb.gabrielebrambi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I already saw that stack

Dear all, We're, at our lab, trying to (slowly) make the transition from a famous (but expansive) numerical software to Python. The most recurring remark made against the use of Python/Matplotlib instead of this famous software is the fact that one cannot male simple click/copy/paste of a curve

You need to do the azal.locator_params() call *after* you create azal. You would get errors otherwise. Ben Root On Thu, Dec 11, 2014 at 11:18 AM, Gabriele Brambilla gb.gabrielebrambi...@gmail.com wrote: Doing azal.locator_params(nbins=4) azal = rif.add_subplot(111) azal.plot(eels*(10**9),

Plans? No. This is the first I have ever heard of such a feature. You could always add a feature request for it (this is a community-developed tool). It might even fold in nicely with the MEP22 work going on to refactor our interactivity and make it easier to add tools. Keep in mind that

glue does a lot of fancy interactive stuff, they might have something like that. From a reproducible computing PoV that functionality is a bit of a problem until we have a way to serialize figures. It is looking more and more like that is what I will be doing over the holidays Tom On Thu

Yes, this works fine: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt eels= np.random.rand(12) averspe = np.random.rand(12) fig,azal = plt.subplots(1,1) azal.locator_params(nbins=10) azal.plot(eels, averspe, label='data') Cheers, Jody PS, easiest is to include self-contained examples.

[Matplotlib-users] how to prevent colorbar from taking space from axes

Hi, I'm trying to make a plot with four panes (2x2). The two on top are images, created with pcolormesh, while the ones on the bottom are line plots. I'd like to the axes to line up -- which they do -- but when I add a colorbar to the top right, it steals space from the image plot. I only need
