[Matplotlib-users] Problem with text bounding box
Recently, I switched from matplotlib 0.99 to 1.0.1 and unfortunately discovered that my text scaling script stopped working properly. The script scales the given text to fit into the current figure. A quick example of what I'm doing (works in 0.99, but not in 1.0.1 and 1.1.1rc): import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ion() fig = plt.figure(1, (6,8), dpi=72) fig.add_axes([0,0,1,1]) txt1 = plt.text(0.5,0.5,'foobar',horizontalalignment='center',verticalalignment='center') plt.draw() # compute width of figure in points and divide by txt1 bounding box width sf1 = 6*72./txt1.cached.items()[0][1][1][0][1][0] txt1.set_size(txt1.get_size()*sf1) plt.draw() The problem is related to the fact that starting from mpl 1.0.1, the txt1.cached dictionary contains information of all text objects present rather than only of the specific object. I guess this behavior is intended, however this way it is rather complicated to derive the bounding box of the specific text object without cycling over the whole dictionary. Is there a different way to achieve a fitted text object?

[Matplotlib-users] how to avoid import backend in the batch job?
Dear all, I have a module written by myself which use python-netcdf/matplotlib/numpy/basemap for treating and mapping of netcdf files. so in the module I have a line: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt But now I am using some function of this module which do not involve the visualisation. And I want to use it in a batch mode submitted by qsub command. And then I have traceback like following: File /home/orchidee01/ychao/SCRIPT/combine.py, line 1, in module import gnc File /home/users/ychao/python/python_lib/gnc.py, line 4, in module import matplotlib.pyplot as plt File /usr/local/install/matplotlib-1.1.0/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py, line 95, in module new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, _show = pylab_setup() File /usr/local/install/matplotlib-1.1.0/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/__init__.py, line 25, in pylab_setup globals(),locals(),[backend_name]) File /usr/local/install/matplotlib-1.1.0/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtkagg.py, line 10, in module from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import gtk, FigureManagerGTK, FigureCanvasGTK,\ File /usr/local/install/matplotlib-1.1.0/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py, line 8, in module import gtk; gdk = gtk.gdk File /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, line 64, in module _init() File /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, line 52, in _init _gtk.init_check() RuntimeError: could not open display From the last line, I think this is because I cannot use this module in a non-interactive mode.

Hi Ben, I changed the backend in matplotlibrc file. It works fine. Yet if I don't want to change the rc file, I guess I must change in the modules where matplotlib has been imported for the first time? cheers, Chao On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 3:30 PM, Benjamin Root ben.r...@ou.edu wrote: On Monday, September 3, 2012, Chao YUE wrote: Dear all, I have a module written by myself which use python-netcdf/matplotlib/numpy/basemap for treating and mapping of netcdf files. so in the module I have a line: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt But now I am using some function of this module which do not involve the visualisation.

It looks like you can either use the _get_layout() method (which requires that you specify the renderer), or, if you know the text object will be among the last 50 for which _get_layout() has been called, you can use txt1.cached[txt1.get_prop_typ()]. Is there a different way to achieve a fitted text object? Not that I know of; but someone else may have a suggestion.

[Matplotlib-users] animation framework problem
Hi, I am trying to create a multi-subplot animation with based loosely on the animation example code, subplots.py, at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/subplots.html A simplified version of the full code is shown at this gist: https://gist.github.com/3613113 I am having problems getting the code to function properly. If I run it as is, the figure appears, but no animation is done. Apparently the setup code is called, but the code to change the frames is not. If I comment out the call to the setup code, the method to update the frame is called once, and that is it. I would appreciate any help and insights that you can provide. Thank you very much. -g -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to avoid import backend in the batch job?
Thanks Damon, it's very clear now. I explicit set the backend as GTKAgg in my ipython user configuration file. and always set the backend to 'Agg' in my rc file. So that when I use ipython, I can see the window interactively, but when I use script, it also works :P Chao On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 8:13 PM, Damon McDougall damon.mcdoug...@gmail.comwrote: On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 6:08 PM, Chao YUE chaoyue...@gmail.com wrote: Yet if I don't want to change the rc file, I guess I must change in the modules where matplotlib has been imported for the first time?
