Andrew:  This is now fixed in SVN.

BTW: basemap predates the custom projection support in matplotlib, so it 
actually doesn't use it.

It appears Basemap hasn't caught up with the new Axes.spines usage.

Can you change mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py line 1265 from::

  ax.frame.set_linewidth(linewidth)

to::

  for spine in ax.spines.itervalues():
  spine.set_linewidth(linewidth)

There may be more issues, here -- this is just the first one and based
off your traceback.

Jeff: I had to drop the Axes.frame to implement spines that could be
moved relative to the Axes boundary. I made sure this worked with the
custom projection examples in the main MPL distribution, so I imagine it
won't take too much to convert basemap. Please see svn r7144, 7145, and
7170 for my changes to lib/matplotlib/projections/geo.py

Thanks for the quick answer.
This is obviously related to my post a few days ago -- a plotting benchmark ...
What are the restrictions for the functions
line.set_data
or
(assumingly similar) im.set_array ?
E.g. must the size (shape) of the data remain unchanged ?
Also, is there a performance difference if interactive mode is on or off ?

Yep, looks like the trunk has fixed the contourf() issue.

Unfortunately there also seems to be some new incompatibility with the

[Matplotlib-users] beginner help: color map plot from raw data

2009-06-16 Thread Nathaniel Echols
I'm attempting to plot the distribution of bond angles in protein structures
(the best-known example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramachandran_plot).  I
have the raw data as a collection of x,y,z data, where x and y are integers
between -180 and 180, and z is a floating-point value.  (Right now, this
data is pure Python objects, but I can convert it to NumPy arrays if that
would be easier.)  I would like to plot this as a continuous color map
inside a wxPython window, and also overlay the discreet data points for a
separate protein.  It doesn't really matter what combination of colors I use
for this - there appear to be many built-in color maps that would be
suitable.  I'm pretty sure this is possible, based on looking at the
examples, but I have no clue how to go about this - it doesn't help that all
of the examples appear to use the pylab interface.  Any suggestions?
thanks,
Nat

How do make the dashed lines  continue inward? How do choose the spacing? How

[Matplotlib-users] dynamic image update

2009-06-16 Thread Randy Heiland
Can someone point me to the "best" way to dynamically update a 2D  
[image] array (think of cellular automata)?  E.g., this simple example  
works, but gets sluggish after several iterations:

import numpy as N
import pylab as P

nx = 20
ny = 20
c = N.zeros(nx*ny, dtype='int8')
c.resize(ny,nx)

iters = 50
for its in range(iters):
   ix0 = N.random.rand()*nx
   iy0 = N.random.rand()*ny
   c[iy0,ix0] = 1
   P.imshow(c,interpolation='nearest')
   P.draw()

I'm guessing I'll want to use the mpl's API, but unsure of the best  
approach.  I'm currently using mpl 0.98.5.

thanks, Randy

I can't reproduce this error with the current code in SVN trunk, but I remember 
seeing this bug a while ago. So I'm guessing that this bug has already been 
fixed in SVN. Zane, could you try installing the latest matplotlib from trunk 
and see if you still see this bug?
