[Matplotlib-users] set figure position

2009-11-22 Thread Marie De La Fontaine
We have recently switched to matplotlib after having done all plotting with pure wxPython for years. There is one problem we cannot solve. With wxPython we are free to set the geometry (position and size) of each Frame anywhere on the screen. We have developed a heuristic solution which packs

Re: [Matplotlib-users] quiver without any scaling

2009-11-22 Thread Damon McDougall
Hi Xavier, You can pass some handy keyword arguments to fix that. Use the following: quiver([1],[1],[1.2],[1.2], angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1) Hope that helps :) Regards, -- Damon -- Damon McDougall Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry CV4

Hi, RTFM...indeed it works. However, the axis do not scale accordingly: quiver([1],[1],[2],[2], angles='xy', scale_units='xy', scale=1) on a TkAgg backend produce a plot with: In [11]: axis() Out[11]: (0.94006, 1.0601, 0.94006, 1.0601) The

Hi marie, You can define exactly the size and position of your plot like this: fig = Figure() axe = fig.add_axes([pos_x,pos_y,size_x,size_y]) axe.plot(x, y, 'b') where pos_x,pos_y is a number (0n1) and 0,0 is bottom left size_x, size_x is a number (0n1) 1 is full figure size. Ex: axe =

[Matplotlib-users] bug in run_all.py

2009-11-22 Thread Dr. Phillip M. Feldman
The script run_all.py in the basemap examples does not work when Python has been installed to C:\Program Files\Python25. It appears that this problem involves the space in the path. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/bug-in-run_all.py-tp26470905p26470905.html Sent from the

[Matplotlib-users] separate sub-forum for basemap?

2009-11-22 Thread Dr. Phillip M. Feldman
It seems as though there are enough basemap-related posts that it might be worth creating a separate basemap-specific sub-forum of the matplotlib forum. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/separate-sub-forum-for-basemap--tp26470932p26470932.html Sent from the matplotlib -

[Matplotlib-users] `fig.subplots_adjust` does not behave as advertized

2009-11-22 Thread Dr. Phillip M. Feldman
The basemap demo `cubed_sphere.py` contains the following line of code: fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0, left=0, right=1, top=0, wspace=0, hspace=0) From the documentation, it would appear that `wspace=0` should remove all horizontal space between the subplots. But, this isn't what happens.
