[Matplotlib-users] pylab collides with fmin?

2011-09-14 Thread Raymond Hawkins
I'm getting odd behavior when I try to use fmin and pylab in the same program. The issue is illustrated in the code snippet below. As written, fmin won't work: the print xopt simply returns the contents of x0 as assigned in the line before fmin. If the from pylab import * line is commented out,

[Matplotlib-users] Hatching linewidth?

2011-09-14 Thread Jeffrey Blackburne
Hi, I am trying to create a hatched region, with a diagonal lines hatch pattern. When using the PS backend, the hatch lines come out very narrow. Is there a way to increase the thickness of the hatch lines? I am using mpl version 1.0.1. I think this question has been asked before (e.g., in

[Matplotlib-users] superimposition of Cartesian projection axis on a polar axis on the same position

2011-09-14 Thread Youngung Jeong
Hi, I have x-y grid data with z values and want to have a pixel view and contour view at the same time on the same position. Both cases should have polar coordinate system but since contour function does not plot on the polar coordinate system, it is plotted on a rectilinear projection with

[Matplotlib-users] x, y labels with varying font styles

2011-09-14 Thread CAB
Hey, All, I've combed the documentation ad nauseum, but I can't find a solution for this one, besides a very brute-force one. Let's say I've set my default sans-serif font as 'Arial'.  Fine. Now, let's say, in a standard plot, I set the x label of this plot using something like:
