[Matplotlib-users] Mac backend problems for nearly all backends.

Greetings. I did quite a bit of digging on this and cannot find similar problems, but if I did miss an earlier discussion, then I apologize. In any case, I have been having royal problems with GUI backends and matplotlib. Some background on where I've been having these problems: Machine 1: OSX

Thanks for the info... 1)The problem does manifest in the same manner through the normal python prompt. 2) I'm not sure what is meant by a framework install. Everything (except MPL 99.1.1) was installed through fink. 3) I've never had problems with Fink software before, and I have a crapload

[Matplotlib-users] pcolorfast and log axes.

2010-07-14 Thread Daniel Welling
Greetings. I've recently found that when I replace pcolor with pcolorfast, the image will not scale correctly when placed on an axis with a logarithmic scale. It will remain linear, thus not matching the axis range whatsoever. The pcolor plot will still fit nicely in the axis object, but the

Greetings, MPL Users. I have been experimenting with Axes3D with the hopes that I could create some 3d lines and then project some contours on different planes in the 3D axes object, much like the contour3d_demo3.py example (but with lines instead of the 3d wireframe.) The catch, however, is

Greetings. I am making some contour plots and in my field for this particular value, there are two widely used units. As such, it is very useful to have both units listed on the colorbar. To clarify: the colorbar's normal ticks would be facing to the right and labeled with Unit Type 1, which

Greetings, MPL Users. I have a very detailed array that I am visualizing using pcolor mesh. When the size of the array surpasses some threshold (I don't know the value), pcolormesh stops drawing polygons/patches. Thus, I only see some percentage of my array. Is there a way to increase the
