Re: [Matplotlib-users] wxmpl incompatibility with matplotlib 0.98.x

2008-08-07 Thread Michael Droettboom
I'm not aware of the problem (but I'm not a regular wxmpl user).

 From 0.91 to 0.98, a major refactoring was done to make it easier to 
add new kinds of projections.  So PolarAxes is no longer a special case, 
it is just one of many possible non-Cartesian projections.  
Unfortunately to do this, the API had to change in a number of places.  
These are documented in the API_CHANGES file in the "TRANSFORMS 
REFACTORING" section.

wxmpl needs to be updated based on those instructions in order to be 
compatible with mpl 0.98.  Hopefully that process won't be too 
difficult, but it's hard to say without trying.  basemap, a fairly large 
mpl toolkit, was able to handle the transition fairly smoothly.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Cheers,
Mike

[Matplotlib-users] wxmpl incompatibility with matplotlib 0.98.x

2008-08-07 Thread massimo sandal

Hi,

Sorry if bothering you. Here we use a software (that I've written) that 
is based on wxmpl and matplotlib, among other things. A collegue of mine 
noticed a problem when installing it on Windows, with the following error:


  File "hooke.py", line 21, in 
import wxmpl
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\wxmpl.py", line 26, in 
from matplotlib.axes import PolarAxes, _process_plot_var_args
ImportError: cannot import name PolarAxes

He was using matplotlib 0.98.3 .Downgrading to 0.91 solved the issue.
I remember the same happened when, some month ago, I tried to install 
the same software on OS X using what were basically SVN versions of mpl, 
labeled "0.98pre" (see http://macinscience.org/?page_id=6 )


I guess you are probably aware of the problem: are you already working 
on it :) ? Is there any workaround?


I'd like to help you patching it, if within my skills, but I'd need some 
direction on how the mpl API have been updated.

[Matplotlib-users] clip_on vs clip_box

2008-08-07 Thread Ben Axelrod
What is the difference between setting clip_on and clip_box?  For an 
annotation, there does not appear to be any difference. But if I give the 
annotation a bbox, then only clip_box works to clip the box at the axes 
boundary.  The example below demonstrates:

from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, show

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

ax.annotate('This is a long annotation',
xy=(1, 1),
clip_on=True,
bbox=dict(facecolor = 'white',
  clip_on=True))
  #clip_box = ax.bbox))

ax.set_xlim(-5, 2.8)
ax.set_ylim(-5, 5)
show()


PS. I am using MPL 0.98.3.

Apple distributed a version of numpy with the system python, and set up 
sys.path so that their stuff would be found before site-packages, so you 
may be getting Apple's version of numpy rather than the one you built 
and installed. (I'm not running 10.5, so I can't supply details)

There are ways to work around this -- a little googling should help you 
figure it out, but I recommend that you avoid the whole problem (and 
others) by installing python.org's build of 2.5.2, and go from there -- 
the binaries on the numpy site are built for that version.

2008-08-07 Thread peter websdell
Someone more knowlegeable than me may corrct me here, but the code for
getting your data into a grid could be greatly simplified to:

X = array([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,])
Y = array([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,])
Z = ListValues.reshape(10,10)

than you could use something like imshow() to show the data without any
interpolation.

[Matplotlib-users] Contour/Contourf Plot Heatmap - Grid - Multiple Items

2008-08-07 Thread stuartornum

Hi,

I have been using matplotlib for about 2 weeks now. I thought it would be
good to try plotting heatmaps to show some data.

The idea:

I have 100 values all ranging from 0.00 to 1.00, I would like to create a
graph with a 10 by 10 grid. Therefore each value has 1 section of the grid.

So, for example if the value was 0.10, the colour would be blue, or if 0.95,
the colour red.

Now the problem is I do not know how to access each individual grid
position, I guess I would have some form of counter system to count 0 -> 9
on the X axis and 0 -> 9 on the Y also.

Here is my pseudo code:

##

Count1 = 0   ## For the X axis
Count2 = 0   ## For the Y axis
Max = 0   ## To count 0 - 99

ListValues = [0.11, 0.09, 0.34, 0.44, 0.29, all the way to 100 values]

while Max < 100:

if Count1 == 10:   
Count2 = Count2 + 1 ## Increase the Y axis by one
Count1 = 0  ## If X axis counter = 10, reset it 
to 0
else:
GridPosition = []
GridPosition.append(Count1)
GridPosition.append(Count2)
GridValue = ListValues[Max]

# Now armed with the GridPosition and GridValue, im stuck on
how to plot the square...

##

So as you can see from above, I have the data ready to fill the relevant
grid position, just unsure on how to actually do it!

Just to clarify, this is a heatmap, so the GridValue should correspond to a
colour and fill that particular square with the colour from the colorbar
i.e.

levels = arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.025)

Thank you in advance for any help.

Indeed, this did turn up another installation, and I am now searching
for a third, even older one.  I wish I understood the layout of /Library
better...or that there was only a single site-packages directory for
each version of Python :)  Once I weed them all out, I will give the egg
another shot.  I would still like to be able to build it from source,
though, so I can stay up to date.

I did in fact edit setupext.py, and the 'darwin' key of basedir is set
to an empty list.  The file command does report universal binaries for
libpng*; the relevant output lines are:

(There are similar messages for the various .o and .lo files.)

Actually, the reason I went with the "whole hog" method of compiling
libpng and freetype from source was that I was running into a similar
architecture error when I tried compiling against the freetype and
libpng in /usr/X11R6.  Perhaps there is some deeper include path issue
that I can't see?

[Matplotlib-users] irregularly spaced grids and imshow....

2008-08-07 Thread Grégory Lielens
Hello everybody,

we are looking for the best way to plot a waterfall diagram in
Matplotlib. The 2 functions which could be used 
to do that are (as far as I have found) imshow and pcolormesh. Here is a
small script that use both to compare the output:

-

from pylab import *


delta = 0.2
x = arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
y = arange(-2.0, 2.0, delta)
X, Y = meshgrid(x, y)
Z1 = bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
Z2 = bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1)
# difference of Gaussians
Z = 10.0 * (Z2 - Z1)
figure(1)
im = imshow(Z,extent=(-3,3,-2,2))
CS = contour(X, -Y, Z, 6,
 colors='k', # negative contours will be dashed by default
 )
clabel(CS, fontsize=9, inline=1)
title('Using imshow')
figure(2)
im = pcolormesh(X,-Y,Z)
CS = contour(X, -Y, Z, 6,
 colors='k', # negative contours will be dashed by default
 )
clabel(CS, fontsize=9, inline=1)
title('Using pcolormesh')
show()

-


The problem is that we need some of the flexibility of pcolormesh (which
is able to map the matrix of value on any deformed mesh), while
we would like to use the interpolations available in imshow (which
explain why the imshow version is much "smoother" than the pcolormesh
one).

In fact, what would be needed is not the full flexibility of pacolormesh
(which can map the grid to any kind of shape), we "only" have to deal
with rectangular grids
with irregularly spaced x- and y- graduations.

Is there a drawing function in Matplotlib which would be able to work
with such a rectangular non-uniform grid?
And if not, what about an extension of imshow which would work as this:
 
im = imshow(Z,x_gridpos=x, y_gridpos=y)  #specify explicitely the
position of the grid's node, instead of giving the extend and assuming
uniform spacing.

Longer term, would a pcolormesh accepting interpolation be possible? The
current behavior, averaging the color of the grids node to get a uniform
cell color, 
is quite rough except for a large number of cells...And even then, it
soon shows when you zoom in...

The best would be to allow the same interpolations as in imshow (or a
subset of it), and also allows to use interpolation before colormap
lookup (or after), 
like in Matlab. Indeed, Matlab allows to finely tune interpolation by
specifying Gouraud (interpolation after color
lookup)/Phong(interpolation before color lookup, i.e. for each pixel).
Phong is usually much better but also more CPU intensive. Phong is
especially when using discrete colormap, producing  banded colors
equivalent to countour lines, while Gouraud does not work in those
cases.

Of course, the performance will be impacted by some of those
interpolation options, which would degrade performance in animations for
example but I think that having the different options available
would be very useful, it allows to have the highest map quality, or have
a "quick and dirty" map depending on situation (grid spacing, type of
map, animation or not, ...).

Best regards,

Greg.
