Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
Alright, so I dug the sources a bit and found the snippet
== *snip* ==
cb = cbar.Colorbar(cax, mappable, **kw)
def on_changed(m):
#print 'calling on changed', m.get_cmap().name
cb.set_cmap(m.get_cmap())
cb.set_clim(m.get_clim())
cb.update_bruteforce(m)
self.cbid = mappable.callbacksSM.connect('changed', on_changed)
mappable.set_colorbar(cb, cax)
== *snap* ==
I guess what happens is that a Colorbar is created, and a callback
function registered which adapts this very color bar whenever there is
a change in color maps/limits.
Well. -- I reckon that means that at the moment there's no way to tell
if a ScalarMappable has a color bar associated or not. :/ -- At least
I don't see how it would be possible to dig up on_changed( ) from the
list of callbacks and extract cb from it.
Aaand everybody: Fea-ture request, fea-ture request!
get_colorbar() for ScalarMappables :)

Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
set_colorbar sets colorbar attribute. So I guess you can just check if
Mappable.colorbar is None or not.
Mappable.colorbar, when set, should be a tuple whose first item is an
image for colorbar and the second item is an colorbar axes.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
Works pretty well.
I've now implemented something like
== *snip* ==
def find_associated_colorbar( obj ):
for child in obj.get_children():
try:
cbar = child.colorbar
except AttributeError:
continue
if not cbar == None: # really necessary?
# if fetch was successful, cbar contains
# ( reference to colorbar, reference to axis
containing colorbar )
return cbar[0]
return None
== *snip* ==
How did you find out about the colormap attribute? Was that by taking
a good guess in looking at the source code, or are the public
attributes of a class documented?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
The last line of the on_changed method you posted is
mappable.set_colorbar(cb, cax)
And set_colorbar sets the colorbar attribute.

[Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
Hi, when plotting a color bar with a plot in matplotlib, the color bar gets treated internally as Axes. With two main plots, each of which comes with a color bar, one structurally gets class 'matplotlib.figure.Figure' class 'matplotlib.axes.Axes' class 'matplotlib.axes.Axes' class 'matplotlib.axes.Axes' class 'matplotlib.axes.Axes' (that is, a Figure has for childres Axes). To find out which one of those is a color bar, I basically inspect their children an look for Arrays with shape (256,), which is what color bars look like. That's ugly of course, but it kind of works(tm). :) I'm having problems, though, with associating color bars with the specific plot. Can I rely on the rule that an Axes -- if it has a color bar --, is immediately followed by the corresponding (color bar) Axes environment? Are there any other properties I could check to identify color bars? (Tried get_label to no avail.)

Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
Is there any reason that you need to find out which axes is a color bar axes from the list of axes? Can you just keep references to colorbars you create? cbar = colorbar() cax = cbar.ax cax is the axes instance of the colobar you just created.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] identification of color bars
Well, it's related to the TikZ converter I'm writing. After having created the plot, the script is of course totally oblivious to what exact commands were used. I was thinking that there is still some sort of bond between the color bar and its parent plot after their creation, e.g., for when the color map of the main plot is changed. -- Is that not the case? --Nico On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 6:16 PM, Jae-Joon Lee lee.j.j...@gmail.com wrote: Is there any reason that you need to find out which axes is a color bar axes from the list of axes?
