Thanks for the change of the artist class. It should do exaclty what I want
I modified artist accordingly (no more 'transform' defined ?
I can run you example witout problem.
But If I implement it in my program which is embedded within gtk with the o=
bject_picker, it does not work:
If I try to set_visible on lines I just define with plot I get an error mes=
sage

I've been poking aroung a bit trying to see if I can locate my plots in a
frame in my own Tkinter GUI rather than a stand-alone window.
It looks like it might be possible if I can, for example, extract the frame
instance from a TkAgg plot (or something like that)
Can anyone comment or suggest a route?

This can be done very easily (for any artist) with a minor
modification of artist.py. The base class forewards all drawing to
the derived classes so no other changes are required. Just replace
artist.py with the attached file below and then you can do:
 from matplotlib.matlab import *
 x =3D arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.05)
 l1, l2 =3D plot(x, sin(2*pi*x), x, sin(4*pi*x))
 l1.set_visible(False)
 show()

S=E6l !
Is there a way to "turn-off" lines without removing the data ?
My goal is to hide some lines in a plot wihtout losing the data so I can sh=
ow it again later.
I can do=20
# Hide the line
x=3Dline.get_xdata()
y=3Dline.get_ydata()
line.set_data([],[])
# Reset the line
line.set_data(x,y)
But I would prefer I more elegant way like
line.hide()
line.show()
Would it be possible to get something like that ?
Thanks

In order to "freeze" your matplotlib-0.51 application using the Agg
backend into a standalone executable, the following are the steps you
should take:
1. Write your setup.py file that py2exe will use for compiling. Example:
 # setup.py
 from distutils.core import setup
 import py2exe
 import glob
	
 data = glob.glob(r'C:\Python23\share\matplotlib\*')
 setup(
 console=["your_file.py"],
 data_files=[("share",data)]
 )
. Note that we use "data" here to copy the matplotlibdata "share" folder
contents into your /dist/share directory.
2. Insert the following import statements into your_file.py, which is
the file containing your matplotlib code:
 import matplotlib
 import matplotlib.ft2font
 import matplotlib.backends.backend_agg
 import ttfquery
 from matplotlib.matlab import *
 
3. Now we must take care of fonts. We're assuming that the machine we're
installing to doesn't have the MATPLOTLIBDATA or TTFPATH environment
variables set, so we must do the following:
 In ttfquery\_scriptregistry.py comment out these lines:
 ### more robust registry-file location by John Hunter...
 #if os.environ.has_key('HOME'):
 # registryFile = os.path.join( os.environ['HOME'], ".font.cache")
 #else:
	# OpenGLContext uses the Application Data directory for win32,
	# should consider porting that code here...
 # registryFile = os.path.join( os.path.split(__file__)[0],
"font.cache")
 And replace with:
 registryFile = r'share\.font.cache'
 In matplotlib\__init__.py comment out these lines in the
get_data_path() method:
 	#path = os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, 'share',
'matplotlib')
 #if os.path.isdir(path): return path
 #path =
os.path.join(os.sep.join(__file__.split(os.sep)[:-5]), 
 # 'share','matplotlib')
 #if os.path.isdir(path): return path
 #if os.environ.has_key('MATPLOTLIBDATA'):
 # path = os.environ['MATPLOTLIBDATA']
 # if os.path.isdir(path): return path
 #raise RuntimeError('Could not find the matplotlib data files')
 And replace with:
 return 'share'
 Also, while you have __init__.py open, in defaultParams you should
change the default backend to 'Agg' and 
 default fontname to 'Vera' since it ships with matplotlib. 
4. Copy your .font.cache file from /ttfquery into your matplotlibdata
/share directory. Your system did a system scan of fonts to generate
this file the first time that Agg was run but your "clean" system won't
have it. By copying it to share, py2exe will include it in the generated
/dist/share directory. 
That should be it. Many thanks to John Hunter for helping me hack
through this, and I hope this information will find its way to others so
it can save them lots of time. 
--Matt

John I foud it with the "print trick" thank you!!!
the main proble was the self.fig which I replaced with the self.canvas
and it is now working,
Thanks again

Please resend as an attachment - your lines are wrapped and hence the
code is doubly difficult to debug.
A couple of suggestions: wx swallows exceptions. This makes it
virtually impossible to debug scripts using wx since you cannot read
the stack trace. The problem may be a simple syntax error in your
script having nothing to do with matplotlib or the wx backend per se,
and you wouldn't see it because of the exception swallowing problem.
Workarounds: 
 1) insert some print statements at the top of each function so you
 can see when the failure occurs. This is essentially what Jeremy
 does in backend_wx. Change the _DEBUG level to a low number in
 backend_wx to get more debugging information. 
 2) try running pychecker on your script.
A lifetime supply of free bugfixes to any wx guru who knows how to fix
this problem - Jeremy and I have certainly suffered with it long enough.

The current implementation of legend takes an axes instance in it's
constructor. I just did a read through of that code and it would be
trivial to factor it out. The only thing the legend uses that
instance for is the background color!
You could have a figure legend much in the same way you have figure
text. I can probably do it in 20 minutes. When I get 20 minutes,
I'll send you a patch....

There is a minor bug in the object_picker.py example. On the 2nd and
subsequent times a line is "picked", if the marker style had been
changed previously, the original marker choice "None" no longer appears
as a choice in the marker menu. I.e. there is no way to turn off a
previously selected marker.
Below is a (one line) patch that fixes this.

Nice!! Where did you learn that trick? pb.pixel_array is not
documented at
http://www.gnome.org/~james/pygtk-docs/class-gdkpixbuf.html.
This is great to know because I can use the same approach to port
image handling to gtk once I get that up and running.
FYI, your patch was line wrapped but it was simple enough to apply "by
eye".

In backend_gtk.py, it does some antialiased rendering by direct
manipulation of pixel values which is only correct for 24-bit TrueColor
X11 visuals. I'm running a 16-bit (5 red, 6 green, 5 blue) visual, so
this produces visual junk.

This has to do with how agg handles subpixel positioning - I've
emailed the agg list and gotten some advice but haven't come up with a
good system to make the lines appear the same thickness in the aliased
and antialiased cases. I'm still working on it.
In the meantime, here is a little backend magic that will make it
easier for you to print to your backend of choice. This example
displays the image in the default GUI (GTKAgg for me) and prints
with GD. 
 from matplotlib.backends.backend_gd import FigureCanvasGD
 from matplotlib.matlab import *
 plot([1,2,3])
 manager = get_current_fig_manager()
 canvasgd = manager.canvas.switch_backends(FigureCanvasGD)
 canvasgd.print_figure('gdfig')
 show()
print_figure takes the same args as savefig.
gd has a pesky color allocation bug that I haven't figured out that
you may bump into.
JDH

The GD output looks good when printed, maybe I will switch between the 2
( Agg for display, GD for printing ). The Agg un-aliased lines don't
come out quite as well, they seem to render more of the pixels for each
point on the line. Nice to have the different backend options.

I'll work on getting the rest of the objects to respect the
antialiased flag. You can control antialiasing for all lines globally
with rcParams

Note if you just want wx, set all the BUILD_* flags in setup.py to 0
and distutils won't compile anything; wx doesn't depend on any of the
extension code. If you do want to build the extensions from CVS, read
on.
CVS doesn't have a complete version of the FontTools* and ttfquery
that are needed to build the extensions. An increasing number of
matplotlib backends need font-finding capabilities which FontTools and
ttfquery provide. However, they are a pain to install and Paul
Barrett has been working on a replacement. At one point I added them
to CVS since I was distributing them with matplotlib but thought twice
about it and tried to remove them. However despite multiple attempts
I have not been able to get them out of CVS. No in a nutshell there
is an incomplete version of FontTools and ttfquery in CVS, and I'm not
too inclined to add them since they will be purged in short order in
any case with the new fontfinder.
If you want to build from CVS, copy the agg, FontTools* and ttfquery
dirs/files from the 0.51 src distro into the CVS tree and build from
there. This will all be cleared up soon.

errata of my last message:
I meant to say that:
these folders did not come with cvs update -d
Summarizing,
I cant install matplotlib because it cant find some files in the Font
tools tree.

hi, I am trying to install the latest CVS and I am getting the following
error message:

HI everybody,
I dont know if any of you is aware of the boa-constructor python IDE and
wx gui builder.
I use it and subscribe to its mailing list. Recently, there was this
discussion about having some scientific plotting controls added to Boa.
I include below, a message from Boa's main developer, Ryaan Booysen,
where he gives some pointers to anyone that might be interested in
adding plotting controls to Boa. They are talking about Chaco, but as
far as I know, Chaco development is stalled and Matplotlib is far
superior (IMHO).
I believe that if anyone is interested in doing that should contact
Ryaan. He is a very nice guy. I also believe that it would greatly
improve the visibility of matplotlib since Boa has a very large user
base.
Well, its just an idea.
have fun
Flavio

You may look at the examples for adding a control in
Plug-ins/UserCompanions.py
I suggest you first try to use the Custom Classes feature to
use a Chaco Plot window in the Designer.
See Docs/boa/apphelp/MixingSource.html
This might be a simpler option.
Cheers,
Riaan.

Hold is on by default. So you can do
for y in Y:
 plot(x,y)
To clear the axes between plot commands, use gca.
Hope this helps,

Hi.
I'm trying to plot a matrice against a vector using Matplotlib.
Something like we can do with Matlab :
plot(x,Y)
where
 x is an Numeric.array of shape (n,)
 Yis an Numeric.array of shape (m,n)
Is there a way to do that in Matplotlib?
Does the Matlab command "hold" have a equivalent in Matplotlib? I didn't 
find it, and if it exists, then I could plot the lines of the matrix Y 
one by one.
Thank you for any information.
Vincent
