matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 13)

I tried to follow the directions per
% python setup.py build
% python setup.py install
but within the build step I get the message
"library not found for -lpng"
It exits with an error code, and then install does not work either (no 
surprise).
I also tried easy_install. It says that I have numpy 1.0.1 but need 
numpy 1.1, which I have and which works. So I downloaded numpy 1.1 
again and successfully installed it (again), but easy_install gives me 
the same message.
I have wxpython installed, and it works, but don't know if that's 
related to my problems.
I'm also a newbie to the mac, and am having trouble deciphering some 
of the posts with similar issues.
Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Dear all,
I like to include a box and whisker plot as an eps in a latex
document. Does anybody know how to produce such a plot in black and
white, or some suitable gray scale? boxplot() does not accept color as
an argument. I also tried putting the function gray() before and after
boxplo(), but that does not work. Thanks in advance.
bye

John - Thanks for the quick fix. I'm having a separate issue now with 
an EPS file being generated (using savefig() again) that appears to be 
invalid (can't display it in OS X Preview, or convert to PDF with 
ps2pdf). Unfortunately, the code that creates this particular file is 
rather involved, and hard to replicate with one simple script.
If I send the offending EPS file (it's 1.4 MB zipped), is it possible to 
tell from that what the problem is?
The errors from ps2pdf are:

You don't have to do everything that I did, but I have libpng and
whatnot installed in /usr/local for other purposes anyway, and I
didn't have a particular need to build a universal binary version of
matplotlib. Furthermore, using GCC 4.2, while forcing one to get rid
of Wno-long-double (an Apple-only thing anyway, and I think it's bad
practice to include assumption of such options in a Makefile), allowed
me to keep -O3 since it does not have that particular bug. So IF you
want to keep the O3 optimisation, then you should install the 4.2
compiler, make sure it gets used, and eliminate the -Wno-long-double
flag from the Makefile. No other changes necessary relative to the
standard instructions. I've filed a bug report with Apple about the
problem with their GCC 4.0.1 in Xcode 3, and as soon as I can get my
bug reporting ability up and running again (login has been wonky
lately), I'm following up with some additional information they asked
for. I'm sorry if I caused some confusion with my personal
preferences.

Marshall,
You are right--there is a line of boilerplate that I left out of quiver, 
contour, and contourf. At the very top of each of these methods in 
axes.py there should be the line
 if not self._hold: self.cla()
You can either add the line to your axes.py, or just do the manual pylab 
cla() before each call to quiver in your script.

Well, my diagnosis wasn't correct, but I fixed the problem. In the
caching of the text layout, we were not taking into account the
different renderers in the cache key. Since PS has a nominal dpi
setting that is ignored by postscript, the differences in dpi were not
getting picked up in the layout cache. The solution I implemented was
to simply add the renderer id to the property tuple used for caching.
Fixed in svn r5470.

Hello,
I'm having problems making quiver respect the hold state of the plot
For example, running this code:
from pylab import *
def quiver_test():
 x,y=mgrid[-10:10,-10:10]
 u=2*x;
 v=2*y;
 hold(False)
 quiver(x,y,u,v,hold=False)
 quiver(x,y,u,u,hold=False)
 draw()
quiver_test()
Two sets of quiver plots appear. I'm using the packages from Ubuntu
Hardy in ipython, but I didn't see anything in the changelog for
0.91.3 relating to quiver.
Any suggestions as to fixing this behavior would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Interesting. When I plot it on my screen it looks correct with a *Agg
GUI backend. But when I save it (either from the GUI or using
savefig) it has the problem you describe. This suggests to me that
either some cached information or something is not getting notified of
the different default dpi in savefig. I'll look into it. Since PS is
dpi independent, it would not affect it.
Thanks for the reminder.

I'm reposting this, as it may have gotten lost in other discussions. I 
think there is possibly a bug in the PNG renderer for TkAgg (which is 
what I think I'm using when I say "matplotlib.use('agg')"), as I get 
different visual results from savefig when saving to EPS and PNG. If 
this isn't a bug, can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong, 
or point me to a workaround for saving to PNG files?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I'm having problems making quiver respect the hold state of the plot
For example, running this code:
from pylab import *
def quiver_test():
 x,y=mgrid[-10:10,-10:10]
 u=2*x;
 v=2*y;
 hold(False)
 quiver(x,y,u,v,hold=False)
 quiver(x,y,u,u,hold=False)
 draw()
quiver_test()
Two sets of quiver plots appear. I'm using the packages from Ubuntu
Hardy in ipython, but I didn't see anything in the changelog for
0.91.3 relating to quiver.
Any suggestions for fixing this behavior would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Here's a response to a similar question a few weeks back:

I haven't tried using the RandomRealizations package yet, but it looks good and well documented.

Do you have in your bags a similar approch but using kriging? For the moment

Jason: contourf expects gridded data. I think you need to use one of 
the approaches outlined in the cookbook entry
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Gridding_irregularly_spaced_data
to grid your data, then plot it.

Yes, just set the xlim or ylim as desired
xlim(-5,5)
ylim(-6,10)
We should consider fix the autoscaling so that tthe default view lim

This is exactly what I wanted.
Thanks a lot.
I just wanted to know wether it was possible to add a little margin for the

Anyway, thanks a lot for the good work.

Does this do what you want?
 ax1 = subplot(211)
 ax1.plot(x1, y1)
 ax2 = subplot(212, sharex=ax1)
 ax2.plot(x2, y2)
ditto for sharey if you want to share the same y axes...

Yep, that works. I thought I had tried that, but I must have done something
wrong.

Yes, this is the expected behavior, you can reactivate any axes or
subplot by simply making the same axes or subplot call (with the same
arguments). This is discussed in the pylab tutorial section "working
with multiple figures and axes" at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html#figs_and_axes

Hi
I display two data vectors : the first is in the subplot 2,1,1 and the
second in the subplot 2,1,2. Each of the data vectors have an x vector of
dates to display values on x axis.
The 2 data vectors are correlated in time and I want to show the
correlation.
But the two data vectors are not aligned as I wanted them to be since the
data vector of subplot 2,1,2 have less element than the other one.
I can't use the same x vector for both curves since it would force me to add
empty values in the second data vector. And I don't want to do that since it
would add useless points in my curve.
So I need to find a way to allow me to align both data vectors on the
different subplots without adding point to the data vector with a smaller
number of elements.
Thanks
Johan

I do prefer Tony's solution, but in a more pylab'ic (matlab'ic) way,
there is also:
gcf().get_axes()[N].plot(...)
where N is the subplot you wan to access (starting from N=0).

Hey Mark,
Actually, recalling subplot(211) seems to work for me. Strange. You 
may want to try forcing the first plot to remain before drawing the 
second:
subplot(211)
plot([1,2,3])
hold(True)
subplot(212)
plot([4,3,2])
subplot(211)
plot([3,2,1])

Thanks Tony -
I was hoping there was a plyab-ish command.
Like you can do Figure(1), Figure(2), and then reselect Figure(1) to get
access to the first figure. No such command for subplot, I understand.

Wow, a question I can actually answer:
ax1 = subplot(211)
ax2 = subplot(212)
ax1.plot([1,2,3])
ax2.plot([4,3,2])
ax1.plot([3,2,1])
Best,
