The tutorial is a good start, as is the user's guide

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users_guide_0.98.1.pdf

some of the user's guide is dated, and the neww docs we are working on
(still in beta) are at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html.  The
screenshots (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) and
examples (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/) are good places
to go for inspiration.  You will probably also want to read the artist
tutorial at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/users/artists.html

Good luck!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Border appearance

2008-07-24 Thread "Jonathan Hayward http://JonathansCorner.com" 
Taking a step back:

What should I be digging into so I'll have the concepts and tools to
manipulate features like color and thickness of borders on a bar chart and
on a pie graph and any parts that may have a border, whether the shadow on a
pie graph is on the lower left or upper right, etc.?

I'm looking at the
tutorial; I'd welcome
suggestions or clarifications about what I should be reading.

How do I query/set the figure in question?

I was specifying the axes earlier, and setting a linewidth of 0 seemed to
remove one of two borders (or, from a non-technical perspective, made the
border half as thick). See before.png and after.png: getting closer at
least...

There are two borders in question, the figure border and the axes
border.  Both are rectangle instances.  You can control the figure
border with the figurePatch instance

fig.figurePatch.set_edgecolor('white')
fig.figurePatch.set_linewidth(0.5)

and similarly for the axes axesFrame instance

ax = axes([left, bottom, width, height])
ax.axesFrame.set_edgecolor('red')
ax.axesFrame.set_linewidth(0.5)

You can make the frame invisible in a few different ways:

 * set the edgecolor to be the same as the face color
 * set the linewidth to 0
 * set the visible property to False (ax.axesFrame.set_visible(False))

[Matplotlib-users] Border appearance

2008-07-22 Thread "Jonathan Hayward http://JonathansCorner.com" 
On the two routines I'm modifying from examples, boundaries and borders are
generally a hefty black.

How can I control color and/or thickness and/or turn off items like
boundaries that are drawn in black?
