Also if you don't draw some of the green lines, the red ones extend
beyond the x-axis. I wonder if this is an artifact from the subpixel
rendering in Agg and the snap-to-pixel corrections in axis lines...

As he said, increasing the number of vertices could be enough, depending
on your exact needs. If you zoom in on polygons, you will of course
eventually see the difference.

I meant that you could read through collections.py and implement a
CircleCollection along the lines of the other collections there. I'm not
quite sure what exactly this entails [so I'm not expert enough to answer
your question :-)]. At least it would mean a new method for backends,
although one that you could implement once in backend_bases.
(Now that I look at collections.py, the base class Collection has a
get_verts method that derived classes should override and that other
parts of matplotlib call, so perhaps collections of non-polygons would
require more extensive changes than just adding a new subclass.)
The advantage would be speed of rendering in case you draw lots of
circles, so if speed is not a problem, don't worry about this.

Oh, I just wrote my suggestion as a "myplot" function called by a main
program as an example of what you could use instead of the built-in
"plot". There are of course many possible ways to organize your program.

Which version of matplotlib are you using? The error message you quote
for the pdf backend shows a line 1085 in get_canvas_width_height, which
is impossible both in the latest released version 0.90.1 and in current
svn. I vaguely remember there being a bug like that quite some time ago.
In any case, no released version of matplotlib supports using TeX with
the pdf backend. Do you mean the (TeX-like) mathtext format parsed by
matplotlib? In current svn there is some support for TeX with the pdf
backend, but it has not (AFAIK) been tested on Windows.

Gmane mangles the URL (to protect email addresses) so I can't read the
message you cite, but using the XPDF distiller means setting
ps.usedistiller to xpdf in your matplotlibrc file. You will need to have
ps2pdf (from ghostscript) and pdftops (from xpdf or poppler) installed.

Hello,
 I'm having trouble saving eps or pdf versions of plots that have TeX 
labels using matplotlib. When I try to save an EPS file, I get the message:
...
RuntimeError: ghostscript was not able to process your image.
Here is the full report generated by ghostscript:
(Author's note: No 'report' is actually printed)
 When I try to save a PDF file, I get the message:
...
 File 
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_pdf.py", line 
1085, in get_canvas_
width_height
 return d*self.file.width, d*self.file.height
AttributeError: PdfFile instance has no attribute 'width'
 Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this? The TeX 
labels work fine is I save as a PNG file. I saw an older thread 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg03953.html 
) that seems to address similar issues, but I don't understand the 
solution (using XPDF distiller).
Thank you for your help,

pylab doesn't explicitly support this -- I have encouraged backend
maintainers to attach the window instance to the figure manager
instance, but I am not sure of all backends support this (GTK* and Tk
do...). The window instance will be a GUI specific widget. Eg in the
GTK* backends, a gtk.Window
fig = figure()
fig.canvas.manager.window.move(100,400)
and other methods at
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--set-position
If you need a lot of control, you are advised to embed mpl into a GUI
app, eg see examples/embedding*.py in the mpl examples dir
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/

Could you provide some example code that shows this problem -- the

bling-bling. I know it is eye candy and in questionable taste, but I

See examples/broken_barh.py (this also allows breaks in the horizontal
bars, eg if an event is interrupted and then resumes). I haven't
added gradient fills on bars because I don't think they convey little
if any information but just add to the glitz factor (an example of
"chart junk" to use Tufte's phrase) but at some point we should bow to
popular pressure and add it. Actually, you can hack gradient filled
bars and axes backgrounds -- be careful, viewing the figure below may
induce seizures.
from pylab import figure, show, nx, cm
def gbar(ax, x, y, width=0.5, bottom=0):
 X = [[.6, .6],[.7,.7]]
 for left,top in zip(x, y):
 right = left+width
 ax.imshow(X, interpolation='bicubic', cmap=cm.Blues,
 extent=(left, right, bottom, top), alpha=1)
fig = figure()
xmin, xmax = xlim = 0,10
ymin, ymax = ylim = 0,1
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim,
 autoscale_on=False)
X = [[.6, .6],[.7,.7]]
ax.imshow(X, interpolation='bicubic', cmap=cm.copper,
 extent=(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax), alpha=1)
N = 10
x = nx.arange(N)+0.25
y = nx.mlab.rand(N)
gbar(ax, x, y, width=0.7)
ax.set_aspect('normal')
show()

I would need to create a timeline for a Latex document (eps output).
There may be other tools besides Matplotlib and I am open to
suggestions. But I were going to use mpl, what would it take to do
something along these lines:
http://www.timelinemaker.com/product-samplecharts-constructiontimeline.html
Basically, I would need a nicely formatted dates along the x-axis and
then lightly colored rectangles with text in them. The width would
show when I anticipate some part of the project starting and ending.
The y coordinate of the rectangle would used to allow project portions
to overlap. It would be nice but not essential if the rectangles had
a little fade in and out in their back ground color instead of a solid
color, but that is not essential.
Is there a clean way to do this with mpl?
Thanks,
Ryan

With GDAL, it's trivial. I work with data from many sources, and I am
usually bypassing basemap altogether and going GDAL/OGR+MPL.
To show the first band of a raster map, I just do the following:
import pylab
import gdal
fname="/path/to/file"
g = gdal.Open ( fname)
data = g.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray()
#data is a Numeric/numpy array. Can modify at will
pylab.imshow(data)
pylab.show()

In the solution I gave, CirclePolygon has a resolution argument for
number of vertices to approximate the circle (default=3D20). You could
increase that value to some more appropriate level:
import matplotlib
from matplotlib.patches import CirclePolygon
from matplotlib.collections import PolyCollection
import pylab=20
fig=3Dpylab.figure()
ax=3Dfig.add_subplot(111)=20
resolution =3D 50 # the number of vertices=20
N =3D 20
x =3D pylab.rand(N)
y =3D pylab.rand(N)
radii =3D 0.1*pylab.rand(N)
colors =3D 100*pylab.rand(N)
verts =3D []
for x1,y1,r in zip(x, y, radii):
 circle =3D CirclePolygon((x1,y1), r, resolution)
 verts.append(circle.get_verts())
 =20
p =3D PolyCollection(verts, cmap=3Dmatplotlib.cm.jet)
p.set_array(pylab.array(colors))
ax.add_patch(p)
pylab.colorbar(p)
ax.axis('equal')
pylab.show()

Hi all!
Thank you very much indeed for the help, both solutions work like a
charm.
However Dave's one gives rough cirlces, approximated by polygones, which
is not very accurate for my buisness. May I ask how to create a
circleCollection as Jouni "The Expert" proposed?

Lionel: There's an example in Basemap (warpimage.py) of displaying a 
plain old png file on different map projections. If you can figure out 
how to read a geotiff (I've never tried it, but GDAL should be able to 
do it), you should be able to use the projection information in the file 
to figure out the lat/lon values of each pixel. Then you could follow 
the warpimage.py example to transform it to some other map projection. 
Or, if you want to display it in it's native projection, just use the 
projection information in the geotiff to define a Basemap instance, 
extract the rgba values and plot them with Basemap.imshow.

I use matplotlib only from within wxPython, that is why I used this

Which of the matplotlib example script is closest to what you want to

I am trying to use the simple test.py program to draw a stacked bar graph.
My intention is eventually to shrink this into a sparkline.

I'm embedding a FigureCanvasWxAgg into a wx.Panel and binding key events to
it:
class MyPanel(wx.Panel)
 def __init__(self, parent, file, id=-1):
 wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent,
 style=wx.WANTS_CHARS | wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
 #Set up the canvas
 self.figure = Figure((9,8),75)
 self.canvas = FigureCanvasWxAgg(self, -1, self.figure)
 self.subplot = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
 #Set up the toolbar
 self.toolbar = NavigationToolbar2Wx(self.canvas)
 tw, th = self.toolbar.GetSizeTuple()
 fw, fh = self.canvas.GetSizeTuple()
 self.toolbar.SetSize(wx.Size(fw, th))
 #Set up figure manager
 self.figmgr = FigureManager(self.canvas, 1, self)
 self.canvas.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_UP, self.__keyup)
 self.canvas.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.__keydown)
	def self.__keyup(self, evt):
		print 'key up'
	def self.__keydown(self, evt):
		print 'key down'
The program successfully detects keydown events for just about every key
with three major exceptions: wx.WXK_RETURN, wx.WXK_RIGHT, wx.WXK_LEFT.
There may be other keys out there, but those three keys are the ones I need
to process events for. 
I've tried subclassing FigureCanvasWxAgg and defining key_press_event (which
doesn't seem to work) and overriding _onKeyDown (which still does not
capture the keys I need). Something weird seems to be happening to these
keys, and was wondering if anyone could help me?
I am able to detect the EVT_KEY_UP for these three keys. Just not the key
down ones. 
Thanks!
