matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 5)

Hello,
When mpl plots equal values, it produces a line as expected. But if the 
 values are equal C +/- epson, with epson <= 0.001 where C is a 
constant then the vertical range is presented as (for example) 
x1e-3-1.999 which is not at all clear. Here's an example (png attached):
#! /usr/bin/python
from pylab import *
x = [0.0,1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0]
y= [-2.0,-2.001,-1.9999,-2.0,-2.0,-2.0]
plot(x,y)
show()
Is there a way to limit the maximum default zoom? Although the example 
uses pylab I'm really using mpl OO interface (on a linux machine).
Thanks,
João Luís Silva

Hi there. Has anyone tried using pylab with python24 and numarray (1.4.1)?
The following should obviously plot a line 0-10
#--------
import numarray, pylab
pylab.plot(numarray.arange(10))
pylab.show()
#--------
It does on my system with old python2.3.3 (Numeric or numarray) and with 
python2.4.1 using Numeric. With the specific combo of py2.4.1 and 
numarray it gives a flat line of zeros. The problem is the same on all 
versions of pylab i've tried including the latest 0.85
anyone got a fix?

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I can offer an alternate 
solution:
Rather than make the font really big, you could make the figure small, 
then scale the whole thing up, so that everything is bigger. This could 
work great for scalable back-ends like EPS. If you need a PNG, you 
should be able to accomplish it by manipulating the size and the dpi 
settings. See:
http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/AdjustingImageSize
For more info about this.

Mostly. There is an experimental pylab command switch_backends, but
this is not expected to work switching between GUI backends. It could
be used, for example, in an interactive GUI session to make postscript
the default backend when generating a bunch of figures in batch, and
then to switch back to the GUI backend.

There is an Axis property LABELPAD that can be set -- it has not been
exposed to rc yet but should be. Something like
ax.yaxis.LABELPAD = 5
should work for now. Let us know ....

It may well be too much work for you, but I hope, as a group, we will 
some day, get ALL of the pylab functionality into a nice OO interface in 
matplotlib. But I'm not one to talk, I haven't contributed anything yet.

It is a bad habit to get into however. I beleive that strongly. That 
being said, pylab was written with this in mind, so go for it.

do this instead:
import matplotlib
matplolib.use('GTKAgg')
from pylab import *
# or better: import pylab
The reason is that when pylab has been imported, it is too late to 
change back ends

I know correctly understand your problem, but I don't know how to fix
it. It seems you need a pad setting for the distance from the axis
label to the tick mark labels, but I don't see one in the rc file.
Anyone else?

sorry, I don't know how to post a png to the mailinglist. Do I just
have to attach it to my response? Anyway, the below code generates a
plot that reproduces my problem. The y-axis label is to close to the
y-axis tick labels (though not overlapping). I would like to shift the
y-axis label further away from the y-axis tick labels.

I am confused as to what the problem is. Are you saying that your

thanks. But this merely changes the distance between ticks and tick
labels. The distance between tick labels and axis label stays
constant. To be more precise about what I need (my first e-mail was a
bit ambigous...sorry): I need to change the distance between tick
labels and the axis label.

Insert
rcParams['tick.major.pad'] = 12
as the third line in your script, or change the value in your

Hi,
I am a new user of matplotlib (0.82; python 2.3.5). So far I have
used supermongo (sic!) to produce figures for physics journal articles
and talks. I am trying to get up to speed with matplotlib to do the
same kind of plots with an open source package.
For talks I like to prepare eps figures which I embed in my latex-based
slides. For slides, huge font sizes are a must, hence I like to use
large fonts for tick mark labels and axis labels. My problem: For the
axis labels, matplolib (or the PS backend?) is apparently not
adjusting (or rather: under-adjusting) the distance between axis and
axis label.
Is there a way to adjust the distance between an axis and its label?
If not, then where in the code is the distance calculated, scaled and
set? I have dug through the code, but could not find it due
to lack of object-oriented programming experience, I guess.
Here is an example of what I mean. The x-axis labels comes out
sort of okay, but the y-axis label is to close to the y axis.
#!/usr/bin/python
from pylab import *
from matplotlib import rcParams
plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16], 'ro')
xlabel("something",size=3D30)
ylabel("something else",size=3D30)
xlabels =3D getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
setp(xlabels, size=3D25)
ylabels =3D getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
setp(ylabels, size=3D25)
savefig("testplot.eps")
Note that playing around with 'axes' did not help - it has
no influence on the distance between labels and axes.
Help & comments much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, is there a function like set_ydata() for fill? I am able to
animate with the standard p1 = plot() and p1.set_ydata(), but I don't
know how to do this with fill().

You can use a combination of axes() to define where you want the image
and imshow() to define the image. Use frame_on=False with axes(). You
can pass a PIL image directly to imshow(), and that way you won't have
to use imread, (although you'd have to use Image.open()).

Have selected a GUI toolkit yet? If wxPython is an option, check out OGL 
and FloatCanvas. On e or the other of these may be useful. I'd be glad 
to answer any questions you have about FloatCanvas.

Dear all,
an attempt to update from matplotlib-0.71 to matplotlib-0.84 on
a solaris 5.8 (GCC-3.3.2, Python 2.4.2) machine failed. The error message is:
In file included from src/_na_backend_agg.cpp:24:
src/swig_runtime.h: In function `int SWIG_Python_ConvertPtr(PyObject*, 
void**, 
 swig_type_info*, int)':

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
The aim was just to install the 'agg' and the 'Tkagg' backends, the problems
seems to arise in the agg2.3 section (matplotlib-0.71 had agg2.2).
I browsed through previous list entries, but this problem seems to be 'new'.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help,
Martin

One further question.
I'm trying to construct a particular category of graphs. 
I need to establish not only edges between nodes, but also edges between
edges and nodes. 
.-----.
(edge between nodes)

(edge between a node and an edge)
Do you know how can I represent this graphs through python, in
particular using network? Is it possible? Many thanks.
All the best,

 Samuel&gt; I have a problem : I wrote a little GUI with glade, python
 Samuel&gt; and pygtk. This GUI produce one or many figures to plot
 Samuel&gt; results, depend on what the user click. To plot a new
 Samuel&gt; figure, I use from pylab import * an figure(). My GUI is
 Samuel&gt; a one windows GUI.
 Samuel&gt; The problem is : when 1 figure + the main window is open
 Samuel&gt; and I close this figure, the main window also close !
You should not mix pylab with GUI programming. You must use OO
matplotlib instead <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#OO">http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#OO</a>. pylab will
try and manage the figure windows for you, which is causing your
problem.
See examples/embedding_in_gtk*.py and examples/mpl_with_glade.py
 Samuel&gt; When my main scipt is run with the ipython console with
 Samuel&gt; 'run my_gui.py' , it works. But with 'python my_gui.py',
 Samuel&gt; it doesn't work.
This is a quirk resulting from the fact that in "interactive" mode,
which ipython sets, destroying the last window managed by pylab
doesn't result in a main quit
 Samuel&gt; What is trick ?
See above :-)

I don't want figure embeded my gtk main window.<br>
<br>
I just a gtk main windows with 3 buttons: plot_this, plot_that,
plot_all.<br>
And new figure appairs when I click on it.<br>
It is for users that absolutly does'nt want to deal with script.<br>
<br>
I spend my time plotting figure and pylab seems to be easy, quick and
elegant.<br>
If I can plot a result in 1 line, I prefer.<br>
<br>
So in this context, is pylab a bad choise ?<br>

 Samuel&gt; I have a problem : I wrote a little GUI with glade, python
 Samuel&gt; and pygtk. This GUI produce one or many figures to plot
 Samuel&gt; results, depend on what the user click. To plot a new
 Samuel&gt; figure, I use from pylab import * an figure(). My GUI is
 Samuel&gt; a one windows GUI.
 Samuel&gt; The problem is : when 1 figure + the main window is open
 Samuel&gt; and I close this figure, the main window also close !
You should not mix pylab with GUI programming. You must use OO
matplotlib instead <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#OO">http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#OO</a>. pylab will
try and manage the figure windows for you, which is causing your
problem.
See examples/embedding_in_gtk*.py and examples/mpl_with_glade.py
 Samuel&gt; When my main scipt is run with the ipython console with
 Samuel&gt; 'run my_gui.py' , it works. But with 'python my_gui.py',
 Samuel&gt; it doesn't work.
This is a quirk resulting from the fact that in "interactive" mode,
which ipython sets, destroying the last window managed by pylab
doesn't result in a main quit
 Samuel&gt; What is trick ?
See above :-)

Hi,
Sorry...newbie question:
Is there a simple way to add logo images to the plots produced
by matplotlib? I've attached a sample plot created in IDL
which shows the logo positioning I would like to achieve.
I wasn't able to find any examples that had logos (though
there was a logo.py in the examples tarball that was missing
the .dat file). Would I basically have to read in the
pngs with imread, resize them, do some voodoo with the figure
layout, and finally imshow them?
Thanks,
Gerald
