Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot - problem with negative values for radius
I am using a workaround now. But that is a hackery solution. Before plotting my data I convert it to dBs and limit it to the lowest value I want to display. Then I plot it using a regular polar plot with a custom formatting function that sets the tick labels with respect to the data offset. Since I use a custom Navigation-Toolbar anyways it was no big deal to add the few necessery lines of codes to handle the offset there, too. The plot now looks exactly as I want it. But: I'd still prefer using a scale that does all the work in the background. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Polar-plot---problem-with-negative-values-for-radius-tp30936638p30975519.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

This problem is almost identical to another thread going on where we can't seem to correctly do log scale for 3d plots. The tick locators are in the wrong positions (the major ticks should be evenly spaced) and the error message is similar to one I have been encountering in mplot3d. I will look a little further into this and see if I can kill two birds with one stone...

Small update: I tried the very same code with MPL 1.0.1 and Python 2.5.0 on Linux 64 and Python 2.5.4 on Win32 and it runs w/o throwing any exceptions there! But: the behaviour is still not that what I expected.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot - problem with negative values for radius
Ben, I should have mentioned that I already tried that. When I set the rscale to 'log' the plot crashes when zooming or mpl cannot even create it. Maybe some example code will help: from numpy import arange, sin, pi, cos, ones from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2TkAgg from matplotlib.figure import Figure import Tkinter as Tk root = Tk.Tk() f = Figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi=100) ax = f.add_subplot(111, projection='polar') t = arange(0.0,2*pi,0.01) s1 = ones(len(t))*10 ax.set_rscale('log') ax.plot(t,s1) canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root) canvas.show() canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1) toolbar = NavigationToolbar2TkAgg(canvas, root) toolbar.update() canvas._tkcanvas.pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1) Tk.mainloop() Using this code the plot will show up but you can see the 10^-1 and 10^-2 tick labels overlapping in the center. Ok, it shouldn't be a big deal to get rid of them. The major problem is if you try to zoom out, the tick labels move away from the center and if you try to zoom into the plot it eventually throws an exception "ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer". If you try to plot smaller values (e.g. replacing the line 's1 = ones(len(t))*10' with 's1 = ones(len(t))') mpl also throws an ValueError exception and does not even create the plot. Let me know if you need full tracebacks.

[Matplotlib-users] Polar plot - problem with negative values for radius
Hi, I am trying to display some complex values in a polar plot. Displaying linear magnitude vs. angle - of course - works without any issues. But I'd rather display the logarithmic magnitute vs. angle. Since the data for the radius gets negative then, it'll be wrapped around / rotated by 180deg by matplotlib. How can I display negative values for the radius w/o having them rotated by 180deg? Of course I can add an offset to the data before plotting it but since my plot is interactive and I use the xdata/ydata of events I'd like them to represent the real data, without an offset. I thought it might be possible to achieve with a custom transformation but I don't actually get it to work. -Stephan -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Polar-plot---problem-with-negative-values-for-radius-tp30936638p30936638.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

My package provides support for Layers in matplotlib. And the layers' data can be changed, making a complete redraw of the axes a solution much easier to implement than dealing with the fuzzy API stuff directly. I don't need high-performance. When putting axes.clear(), the locator is being reset. In cartesian coords, it happens that I want a MaxNLocator(nbins=3) or similiar from time to time, and this must be restored then. For cartesian axes, if the user does not specify another locator, I'm setting the AutoLocator(), what is the same what the (cartesian) axes does. Dealing with the case "no locator set" (by "using matplotlib default fallback") is neither nice nor straightforward. (It has to do with complicating the calling conventions. I would have to treat the case 'ignore [x|y]locator' specially.) It would maybe be a good solution to provide some abstract Axes.get_default_locators(), being public. Each SomeClass(Axes) can define what they understand under "default locator". >> I would rather suggest to insert a new Locator class being aware of >> radians.

Seems that you misunderstood my problem, if I'm not misunderstanding you :-) I have no problem with a "mutable" locator. (But the user has normally no access to the axes, only the Stack class changes the axes.) But right, I wanted to derive it from the Locator class framework, just specialising the location. > For convenience, however, we could add a locator that given n, divides 2pi > into n parts. Yes, and Ben's idea is quite nice, to make this accessible also to rectangular plots. This implies some simple thoughts on the view lims to take them into account when issuing the tick locations. >> Accompanying would be formatters in radians and degrees with >> adjustable precision (no autodetect necessary). > > Sure.

Yeah, it's my issue, but I'm not happy with fixing it. Currently, matplotlib forces the xticks (i.e., the theta ticks) to be at sensible values via .set_xticks() and .set_xlabels() (projections/polar.py). I'm coding a matplotlib extension package which has to clear the axes often, but restoring the major locators, the title and stuff after clearing. It was agnostic to the specialities of polar axes so far. I could say, "if nothing is requested specially, treat it as a running system", but I see this as clumsy and error-prone at all.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] polar plot: problem with negative angles
The grid line will reappear if you set high enough resolution. plt.subplot(111, polar=True, resolution=100) This should be filed as a bug, though. I guess the current default for resolution is 1. I think this was to enable to draw a straight line in polar projection. However, my guess is that it has a side-effect that a angular gridline became a 0-length line connecting two identical points. -JJ On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Magnus Benjes wrote: >> Magnus Benjes wrote: >>> Hello, >>> in version 0.98.5.2 the polar plot still has a problem with negativ >>> angles. >>> The polarplot is drawing a circle when the angle changes from negativ to >>> positiv (e.g. from -0.01 to +0.01). >> >> Your example works fine with svn.

[Matplotlib-users] polar plot: problem with negative angles
Hello, in version 0.98.5.2 the polar plot still has a problem with negativ angles. The polarplot is drawing a circle when the angle changes from negativ to positiv (e.g. from -0.01 to +0.01). But in "What new in 0.98.4" (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/whats_new.html) I can read: "Fix polar interpolation to handle negative values of theta - MGD" Is there a workaround for this problem?

[Matplotlib-users] Polar plot with y-lim set to non-zero
Hi All - is there any way to make a polar plot with the center of the plot *not* set to 0? I tried resetting ylim, but that just changes the grid laid over the plot, not the location of the markers.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot
It seems you're getting bitten by the brain-dead interpolation of points (which is meant to draw line segments as curves that follow the radii). I have fixed the polar drawing code in SVN r6106 to normalize theta to (0.0 <= theta <= 2pi) before doing the interpolation, which seems to fix your example. The user doesn't/shouldn't have to care about whether theta is negative. Cheers, Mike jan gillis wrote: > Hi Tony, > > Thank you for the reply, the solutions you propose are fine in this > case.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar plot
Hi Tony, Thank you for the reply, the solutions you propose are fine in this case. But I'm trying to use the polar plot as a smith chart for an instrument and there i will receive data that is unknown but can be something like this: r = np.transpose(.1+np.arange ( 0 , 0.7 , 0.001)) theta = -4.5 * np.pi *r freq = r*10e9 data = np.multiply(r,np.exp(1j*theta)) ax.plot(angle(data),abs(data)) Any idea why Polar plot can't handle theta going from negative to positive radians?

The circle being drawn starts around 0 radians and goes clockwise by negative values. Then when it gets to - pi, it switches to positive indices, i.e. pi. Of course, these are the same points on a polar plot, but different angles, if you want to be consistent. Here are a couple of quick solutions, but there but there maybe better ways of handling this. # ~~ # get rid of the plot line above, and add the following theta = np.angle(gamma_r) mag = np.abs(gamma_r) # option 1 ordered = np.argsort(theta, axis=0).squeeze() ax.plot(theta[ordered], mag[ordered], '.-', zorder=0) # option 2 neg_theta = np.where(theta < 0) theta[neg_theta] += 2 * np.pi ax.plot(theta, mag, '.-', zorder=0) # ~~ I hope that's helpful, -Tony > > ax.set_rmax(2.0) > grid(True) > > show() > > > Kind regards, > Jean > > -- > Jan Gillis > Ghent University > IMEC vzw - INTEC > Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 41 > B-9000 Gent > Belgium > tel. +32 9 264 33 33 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > - > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's > challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win > great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in > the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > ___ > Matplotlib-users mailing list > Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
