[Matplotlib-users] checking if an artist is in the list of artists for an axes

[Michael Mossey]

How do I check if an artist is in the list of artists attached to an axes?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] detect mouse clicks

[Michael Mossey]

Further update: I think I know how to do this. I can register a mouse event
handler, and its xdata and ydata properties will tell me the data
coordinates.

Why not save to PDF? Drops straight into Powerpoint...

Note: I'm looking at the Picker examples now and one problem I see is that
I'm not asking the user to click on data points, but anywhere on the axes.

[Matplotlib-users] detect mouse clicks

[Michael Mossey]

For my application which is a simple sound file editor written with
matplotlib and PyQt4, I want to detect left and right clicks on the canvas.
I need to know the data coordinates of the click (i.e., not where on the
screen the click occurred, but what data point as defined by the axes it
represents). How do I do this?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Chao YUE]

In fact I guess it could also be related with the display card of the PC I
am using. I find I have different quality on my two different laptops (one
with fedora and one with ubuntu). But it's getting too complicated ... I
don't want to got this far and so let us forget about this.

Cheers,

Chao

 Hi all,

 Thank you all for your kind response. I am sorry, but none of these
 solutions significantly improved the visual quality on microsoft powerpiont
 2007. Thought I didn't try eps. So probably l have to go with the current
 quality.
 here is a best case I have now:
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uhjogalz92hssm/different_figure_example.pptx
 You can still see the "a bit blur" everywhere (currently with jpg being
 inserted directly). I didn't have better quality than this one by trying
 the method as suggested by you. Let me know if I am raising too much high
 demand for this.

 Cheers,

 Chao

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Chao YUE]

Yes, in fact I set dpi as 1000, which is already very high. In fact I have
another question, will there be any difference if I use the save button on
the interactive plotting toolbar and use the command line
figure.savefig('xx.png',dpi=1000)?

OK, I tried but I don't really see the difference between jpg and png by my

will be real difference. Anyway, thanks to all for your nice discussions.
And, BTW, I tried >2 hours trying to find a way to convert svg to emf, but

 Alternatively, if you need vector graphics, you can export the
 Matplotlib plot as SVG and convert it to WMF or EMF using
 Inkscape. This can be done in the command line like this:

 "c:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48\inkscape.exe" --without-gui
 --export-emf="output.emf" "input.svg"

[Benjamin Root]

JPGs will *always* have "bit blur" as it is a lossy image format. PNGs
would be a better bet.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[ChaoYue]

Hi all,

Thank you all for your kind response. I am sorry, but none of these
solutions significantly improved the visual quality on microsoft powerpiont
2007. Thought I didn't try eps. So probably l have to go with the current
quality.
here is a best case I have now:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uhjogalz92hssm/different_figure_example.pptx
You can still see the "a bit blur" everywhere (currently with jpg being
inserted directly). I didn't have better quality than this one by trying
the method as suggested by you. Let me know if I am raising too much high
demand for this.

Cheers,

Chao

[Slavin, Jonathan]

​Another alternative, if a vector graphics format doesn't work, is to make
your png figure large.  Then when you shrink it down to fit in your slide,
it should still have good resolution.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Juergen Hasch]

Mac is kind of my blind spot, thanks for pointing out that EPS is a viable 
format there.

Windows does not handle the PS part of EPS for screen display. You will only 
see a preview image, and only if it was
embedded into the EPS. Printing is be fine though, if you have a PS printer.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Benjamin Root]

While SVG isn't supported, EPS is... sort of.  Be very careful going
between windows and mac versions of Powerpoint. While they both support
EPS, they seem to do it differently and I have had to make emergency fixes
to presentations while at conferences because they were using Windows and I
only had access to Linux and Macs at home.

Cheers!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Juergen Hasch]

No Powerpoint version I know supports SVG (or any vector graphics format useful 
in this case) and Matplotlib does not
export WMF graphics anymore. So the easiest way is to use PNGs, if you can live 
with raster graphics.

Alternatively, if you need vector graphics, you can export the Matplotlib plot 
as SVG and convert it to WMF or EMF using
Inkscape. This can be done in the command line like this:

"c:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48\inkscape.exe" --without-gui 
--export-emf="output.emf" "input.svg"

 Dear all,

 Did anyone try to make plots using matplotlib, and then put the figure in
 the powerpoint for presentation? Currently I am using the ipython notebook
 --pylab mode to make the plots, and then save them to *jpg format. But when
 I put it into the powerpoint, it does not look nice as I see on the screen
 (a little bit blurred). You can really not notice it if you don't examine
 carefully. But I really want to make high quality slides. So does anyone
 have the same problem? could it be related with the figure format or

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Make clear figure used in the powerpoint slides?

[Neal Becker]

Make sure to save into a vector graphic format so it can be resized.  Try pdf 
or 
svg (don't know if M$ supports svg though)
