If you can provide a few pointers to the relevant files in the matplotlib
source, I'll have a look and see what I can do.

You may want to look at examples/arrow_demo.py and the
matplotlib.patches.FancyArrow class in current svn (revision 2201).
There is also a class matplotlib.patches.Arrow but the arrows it makes
are not as nice as those of the FancyArrow.

The wiki page at 
 http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations
discusses animation techniques with performance in mind.
Unfortunately, the techniques described at the end in the section on
blitting and drawing selected artists are not currently available for
QtAgg. Basically, there are three methods that need to be implemented
in the qt backend (the three are discussed in the web page above
towards the end). Basically they involve saving and copying selected
regions of the agg renderering buffer to and from the qt canvas.
There are examples in the GTKAgg, WXAgg, and TkAgg backends for you
follow, so if you know something about Qt and want to get much better
performance for animation, perhaps you can implement these for the
QtAgg backend and send them our way when you are done :-)
In any case, it is on our list of things to do...

Dear Matplotlib-Users,
I would like to add arrows at the corners of the
blue line to illustrate the order of the
iterates. Is it possible to realize it with
matplotlib ?
Nils

Dear Matplotlib-users,
I have now been struggling with getting matplotlib integrated into a
PyQt based GUI environment. The example
 embedding_in_qt.py
which comes with the source distribution, has been my starting
point.
The problem is that in my own applications, matplotlib has to serve
the purpose of showing animated data; and for some reason, I cannot
squeeze more than 10-15 FPS out of the example. The QTimer in the
example is set to 10 ms, so this is not the problem.
If I implement a simple, and of course, much more simplistic 2D window
in 'raw' PyQt, this easily gives 95 FPS with 1000 datapoints.
Any suggestions and feedbacks on how to approach this problem are more
than welcome.
Best regards,
Mads Ipsen

Hi Keith -- thanks for all these docstring bug reports. For the
sanity of our mailing list users, who probably don't want to overload
their inboxes, I suggest you collect these in a single report and post
them to the sourceforge bug report page
 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=80706&atid=560720
In answer to this specific question about grid. The pylab functions
are mostly think interfaces to the matplotlib API, and grid is an
example of this. Most of the pylab functions are autogenerated by a
python script. We simply pass all the *args and **kwargs from those
functions on to the underlying function. To make the pylab docstrings
more human readable, I usually include an extra line like (in the
Axes.grid function that pylab.grid exposes)
 def grid(self, b=None, **kwargs):
 """
 GRID(b=None, **kwargs)
Where the GRID line is used to indicate the pylab syntax.
This was missing for grid (see plot or scatter for an example of how
we mean to do it) but will be fixed for the next release.
Thanks!

If this is a numarray bug, we should make sure the numarray folks know
about it.

you probably meant:

grea, it's working fine now. Thank you very much.

Fixed in svn 2190.
I found a non-numerix solution, replacing this:
codes = where(mask[start:end+1], 'l', 'm')
with this:
codes = [('m','l')[i] for i in mask]

Nevermind, I didnt see the reference to simple plot. This looks like a problem 
with the where() function with numarray, it is complaining about creating a 
char array. I'm looking into it.

Hi,
I have an error with the SVN version of matplotlib when I'm trying to 
save a figure in eps format (it's working fine for png, svg). The 
problem appeared when I'm using savefig("image.eps") or the save icon.
The error message is:
Thanks,

If you are a svn user, please read the devel list. If you are
reporting a bug against svn, please report your svn revision number in
a bug report. You have been reading and posting on maptlotlib and
scipy mailing lists long enough, and using cvs/svn versions of both
long enough, that you should know the drill by now.
Eric Firing has done excellent work in the last couple of days,
building on Mark Bakkar's earler work, in support of image and axes
with proper aspect ratio handling, under figure window resizes, etc.
He is not finished yet, and as he indicated on the devel list he has
not updated the CHANGELOG of API_CHANGES files yet because he is still
working out the final details.
The new default matplotlibrc.template file in svn, however, lists the
new valid options for this image.aspect parameter.
JDH

Remove it from your rc file.

Hope this helps,
JDH

I want to plot two quantities on the same graph such that the X-axis
remains the same, while the left and right Y-axis show the ranges for
the first and second quanties respective. I fished through the demos
(shared_axes etc), the cookbook as well as the user manual, but
haven't been able to figure out a working example yet.
I hope this is easy to do, and if not, IMHO it should be made
relatively straight forward to make such plots since they are very
common with gnuplot users.
TIA,
Diwaker

That label is called the offset. If you do
plot(arange(10)*1e10)
a=gca()
offset = a.yaxis.get_offset_text()
offset is a text object that you can resize, just inspect it's methods.
