[Matplotlib-users] How to remove white space
Dear All, I have one .png image of 940X780 and i am plotting waveforms on it. When I save this plot as .png , matp[lotlib gives image in 800X600 that too with white space. I dont want to keep the white space and i want the same resolution as original image.How should I go ahead? Thanks in advance!!!

You can circumvent this behaviour by using your own Formatter like a ScalarFormatter withour offset: formatter = plt.ScalarFormatter(useOffset=False) Furthermore you can switch off the scientific formatting (extracting a common prefactor) using formatter.set_scientific(False) Applying this formatter to the current axes: plt.gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter) or a string-formatter like majorFormatter = plt.FormatStrFormatter('%.5e') or majorFormatter = plt.FormatStrFormatter('%g') Kind regards, Matthias PS: By the way, you should start a new thread for a new topic (sending a new mail to mpl-users) instead of responding to another message. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[Matplotlib-users] Problems with Matplotlib and Python 2.6
Dear ALL, Long time no see Well, I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu Intrepid to Jaunty (sure, I know that I'm a couple of versions delayed, but keeping a working system stable is essential). I did not a fresh install of Ubuntu, just upgraded using the system's facility for that. Previously I have did that from Ubuntu Hardy to Intrepid, with less (or no) troubles. However, in Jaunty the default Python interpreter has been upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 and this is presenting the most annoying problems. For now, the most vexing problem is that although Matplotlib is correctly installed and seemingly working, it does not show any graphics!

Dears Sandro Darren, First of all, thank you *very much* for the fast reply! Let's see... I have the same problem (no graphics display) with either Python and IPython. BTW, in previous versions of Python which I'v used (2.3, 2.4, and 2.5) Matplotlib graphic backends always worked quite well. I forgot to mention that I'm using the default version of Matplotlib that comes with Jaunty and it is quite old (0.98.5.2). Should I will try to reinstall it from the sources (easy_install only finds the old version)? I will check the matplotlibrc, but why should the Agg default backend not work?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Problems with Matplotlib and Python 2.6
I will check the matplotlibrc, but why should the Agg default backend not work? Because 'Agg' is a file-based backend, that you use when you want to generate a file as output (a PNG, f.e.), so savefig() works while show() not. You are looking for a GUI backend, something like TkAgg, GTKAgg or Qt4Agg, that calling show() will generate a window with the graph in it.

The code works great for my purposes, and the sparklines are dumped out as PNG files, like this one http://old.nabble.com/file/p28111498/spark_x.png But, all of the examples and forum discussions I can find pertain to using an image as the background for a set of axes, and then plotting or contouring over the image. I simply want to overlay a PNG on an existing set of multiple axes. I know I can use something like Adobe Illustrator to do this outside of matplotlib, but is there a way to do this programmatically?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Problems with Matplotlib and Python 2.6 - SOLVED
Dear ALL, I finally solved the problems with displying graphics in Matplotib with Python 2.6 under Ubuntu Jaunty. It just turned out that, when upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, several required development packages were removed from the system. I just discovered that when trying to build and install the latest version of MPL from source. When I installed them, I could build, install and run the latest version (0.99.1.2) and it is working well! I had a similar problem with the wxPython 2.8 GUI library (all my GUI applications which worked well under Python 2.5 broke after the upgrade to Python 2.6), however in this case the wxPython developers mantain their own software repository, so that it was just a question of updating the software sources. Despite a few ours of pain/panic, I'm rather satisfied with Ubuntu Jaunty (and surely Karmic and Lynx are even better), which runs faster and easily than Intrepid and has less bugs than Hardy.

(The examples subdirectory of the source is generally a better source of up-to-date examples than the cookbook.) I haven't tried it, though, and I don't know of any example specific to quiver.

If you're not afraid of contaminating your code with axes_grid toolkit, instead cax = fig.add_axes([0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.8]) # setup colorbar axes. try from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable import matplotlib.axes as maxes divider = make_axes_locatable(ax) cax = divider.new_horizontal(5%, pad=0.05, axes_class=maxes.Axes) fig.add_axes(cax) This way, the height of the colorbar always matches that of your main axes.

You can adjust the resolution by changing the figure size and the dpi in savefig. I think, but am not shure, that a problem could be that text is scaled according to dpi, such that ugly things result with e.g. dpi = 2 or so. You can also use, when you have an 2-element iterable *shape* created, holding the pixel extent: dpi = fig.dpi fig.set_size_inches(shape[0] / dpi, shape[1] / dpi) The standard dpi is sensible, otherwise it's for sure possible to override beforehand. Then your save command should give the desired result. I have no time to check, sorry, may you do that :-) Thanks.

Hmm, I wrote one time a lazy-import module, you create objects and use their attributes, but the object imports the module not earlier than the first attribute access. Thus these objects are used like the module via import module. I.e., module = Lazy('matplotlib.module'). There are also wrappers for classes for replacement of from moudule import Class syntax.

[Matplotlib-users] EPS files with LaTeX are invalid
Hello, I upgraded to the latest svn version of matplotlib today, and found that eps files produced with the system latex now seem to be invalid. For example, if I run the following script import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl mpl.rc('text', usetex=False) fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) fig.savefig('test_notex.eps') mpl.rc('text', usetex=True) fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) fig.savefig('test_tex.eps') and try running pstopdf on them (on MacOS 10.6) I get the following air:air tom$ pstopdf test_tex.eps %%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file produced. ] %% air:air tom$ pstopdf test_notex.eps air:air tom$ So the file with the system LaTeX enabled no longer works. ps2pdf still works, but the error with pstopdf is important, because for example Preview.app on mac relies on pstopdf, not ps2pdf. I tried this on two different computers under MacOS 10.6, and tried with ghostscript 8.70 and 8.71 installed, and the problem occurs either way. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
