[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib and Flash

2009-06-13 Thread Alan Jackson
Any suggestions for turning a sequence of Matplotlib plots into a Flash movie, on Linux? I did just notice that R now has that capability built in. 8-) -- --- | Alan K. Jackson| To see a World in a Grain of Sand

[Matplotlib-users] open multiple plots from a program

2009-01-24 Thread Alan Jackson
I have been trying to figure out how to open up multiple plots from a traits program, without much luck. I tried threads, no joy. Is there a simple way to get multiple plots to come up? Would it work to fork off new processes for each plot? I haven't done that in python before, just perl, so before

[Matplotlib-users] controlling tick label size

2009-02-08 Thread Alan Jackson
Trying to find a simple way to shrink the tick labels for this plot - since I can have many tiny histograms, the labels need to be smaller, but it isn't obvious to me how to simply shrink them. code snippet... num = len(datasets) fig = plt.figure() rows = np.int(np.sqrt(num)) cols = np.int(float(

[Matplotlib-users] displaying multiple plots

2008-02-04 Thread Alan Jackson
I've done this on my system at home, but it doesn't seem to be working at work. I generate a series of imshow() plots, each followed by a show() command. When I run the script, it should pause after each show() until I exit the plot, and then display the next plot. But now it isn't working. The fi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Non-linear Regression to a Histogram

2008-05-12 Thread Alan Jackson
I have an example of fitting distributions to bus arrival times using 'R' that may be helpful. I wanted to calculate the latest time I could arrive at the bus stop and have a better than 95% chance of catching the bus. I tend to use R and Scipy whereever each is strongest. http://www.oplnk.net/~aj
