matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 7)

Hello, in the plot commands you can control what covers what by using
the zorder parameter. Here's a demo:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/zorder_demo.html
So, in your case you could change the plotting commands to
p1.plot(x,y1,'r',linewidth=5,zorder=1)
p1.fill_between(x,0,y2,color='k',alpha='0.7',zorder=2)
to get the fill to cover the line plot.

Hey,
thanks a bunch, that was the problem, build it a while back, really
should have seen that back then though ;).

Can you provide the output of a clean build?
Go to the source directory, remove the "build" dir, and run "python 
setup.py install &> log" and send us the file "log". It's possible you 
do not have the development files for gtk installed so the extension 
modules didn't get built.

Hey,
I recently installed matplotlib "1.1.0svn" upgrading from 0.99.x shipped
with ubuntu. I have the problem that the GTK backend does not work
properly. Running similar to:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk.html
throws the error: ImportError: No module named _backend_gdk
Is this a problem with the version or my installation and how would I
fix it (or do I need to downgrade again!?).

Hello,
 I want to plot a contourf (or imshow) map with some scatter symbol 
lay on it, and I
want them to use a same color set.
 like contour(x,y,z) or imshow(x,y,z) have a color set (colorbar)
 and scatter(x1,y1, s=z1,c=z1). in the scatter, the color of z1 would 
be the same with
the color of z if their value is the same. How could I do? thanks!
Best Regards,
Wang Jun

Hi Matt,
this depends on how you're plotting. 
If you're just using plt.plot - it defers to cycling through the
rcParams['axes.color_cycle'] - so just set that to one value
before starting your plots..
old_color_cycle = rcParams['axes.color_cycle']
rcParams['axes.color_cycle'] = 'purple' # cue Gogol Bordello
plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.plot(range(10),'o', markersize=40)
ax.plot(np.random.rand(10),'o', markersize=40)
ax.plot(np.random.rand(10)*10,'o', markersize=40)
# restore color_cycle just for this axes
ax._get_lines.set_color_cycle(old_color_cycle)
ax.plot(range(20,30), range(10),'o', markersize=40)
ax.plot(range(20,30), np.random.rand(10),'o', markersize=40)
ax.plot(range(20,30), np.random.rand(10)*10,'o', markersize=40)
# restore old cycle for all new axes
rcParams['axes.color_cycle'] = old_color_cycle

If, on the other hand, you're using scatter, there isn't
currently a way of doing the same, since scatter just uses 'b' as
the default parameter for color.
This should probably be changed to act the same way plot does,
but that isn't currently implemented. This would be a good first 
patch for a newcomer -- and would make matplotlib more consistent.

Hi,
i am farily new to matplotlib so my question might be fairly basic. I would 
like to be able to set certain default values at the beginning of my script. 
The way i did this with the other values is via changing the value stored in 
rcparams. So something like:
import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl
mpl.rcParams['lines.markersize'] = 20
But i would like to set the markerfacecolor in such a way but it is not 
included in rcParams. I would really like to avoid setting it in each 
individual plot call. 
Is there a way to change the default at the start of the script?
thanks
matt

I would love to see this work done, if for no other reason than removing 
a lot of duplicate code.

Thanks. That change is due to a recent change I made in matplotlib. 
The "inheritance_diagram" Sphinx directive has existed in Sphinx itself 
for a long while now, so there was no need to maintain our old and 
crufty original version in matplotlib anymore. Since 
PATH_TO_MATPLOTLIB_SRC/doc/sphinxext is meant to contain private 
extensions (as opposed to 
PATH_TO_MATPLOTLIB_SRC/lib/matplotlib/sphinxext which contains public 
and installed extensions), I didn't realise anyone else was using it.
Your proposed changes look right, except math_symbol_table can probably 
just be removed altogether -- basemap doesn't use it.
I've filed a pull request for this here:
https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/pull/2

Hi,
I'm using the method described on 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#howto-auto-adjust 
to automatically adjust my subplot figures to make room for my axis 
labels. I'm not drawing my graphs to the screen, but I'm instead 
outputting them to PNG files using a savefig("filename.png", dpi=100) call.
I'm on a Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope system, so I originally used the 
python-matplotlib package for convenience, which contains matplotlib 
0.98.5.2. However, I later also needed the option to move my legend on 
top of my figure, which means that I had to upgrade to at least 
matplotlib 0.99.x since I would need the bbox_to_anchor kwarg for that. 
Naturally nothing higher than 0.98 is available for Ubuntu 9.04, so I 
went and installed MPL from source. That worked, until I discovered that 
now the draw_event no longer fires when I call savefig(). It still fires 
for show(), but for some reason, after installing from source, it no 
longer does. I made sure that I installed all of MPL's dependencies; the 
build report lists version numbers for all them where it didn't before, 
so I'm pretty sure those are all satisfied.
Here's the test program I used, adapted directly from the sample code. I 
also tried adding in manual fig.canvas.draw() calls to try and trigger 
the event manually, which seemingly are all happily ignored.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(range(10))
ax.set_yticks((2,5,7))
labels = ax.set_yticklabels(('really, really, really', 'long', 'labels'))
def on_draw(event):
 print "on_draw"
 bboxes = []
 for label in labels:
 bbox = label.get_window_extent()
 # the figure transform goes from relative coords->pixels and we
 # want the inverse of that
 bboxi = bbox.inverse_transformed(fig.transFigure)
 bboxes.append(bboxi)
 # this is the bbox that bounds all the bboxes, again in relative
 # figure coords
 bbox = mtransforms.Bbox.union(bboxes)
 if fig.subplotpars.left < bbox.width:
 # we need to move it over
 fig.subplots_adjust(left=1.1*bbox.width) # pad a little
 fig.canvas.draw()
 return False
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('draw_event', on_draw)
#plt.show() # this fires draw_event
plt.savefig('delete_me.png', dpi=100) # this doesn't
Convinced this was a bug, I then tried compiling a whole bunch of 
different versions from source to see what version it stopped working 
at. It didn't work for any of them, including the 0.98.5.x builds.
Finally, I tried grabbing python-matplotlib's matplotlibrc file and 
using it to override the compiled version's RC file with, and lo: 
draw_event fires again.
I'm not very familiar with MPL's internals so I'm sure there's a reason 
for this (one thing I immediately noticed was that the DEB RC file seems 
to use the TkAgg backend, whereas the compiled version uses the GTKAgg 
backend). However, it feels to me like whether or not a "user-mode" 
event fires or not should not depend on some configuration settings.
I've yet to figure out which setting exactly causes draw_event to fail, 
but I just wanted to let you guys know; might be a good idea to tweak 
the default settings so that draw_event behaves as expected.
Cheers,
Jeroen DR

Hi,
I was just rebuilding basemap and its docs.
With v1.07 of Sphinx, latest git versions of matplotlib & basemap, I
needed to modify basemap/doc/conf.py as follows:
1. Insert before line 20:
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(PATH_TO_MATPLOTLIB_SRC/doc/sphinxext'))
(to find matplotlib sphinxext math_symbol_table)
2. Edit line 36
'inheritance_diagram' --> 'sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram'

This has been on the wish list for quite a while, but it is not a small 
job. I am not aware that anyone has tackled it.

In addition to what Paul wrote, check the following (assuming you are 
using netCDF4 to read the files; the same may apply when using other 
netcdf interfaces):
Use slicing to extract the variables you are plotting as ndarrays rather 
than trying to call mpl routines with the netCDF4 variable objects 
themselves. I haven't tracked down exactly what is happening, but I 
have noticed that extracting and plotting can be orders of magnitude 
faster than feeding the netCDF4 variable directly to the mpl plot command.

How many such files would you say you're plotting?
If you are creating multiple figures as you go - are you closing
the ones you no longer need?
If you are using IPython, did you disable the output caching?
I realize this'll be difficult, but if you can reduce the
problematic code to a standalone script that reproduces the
problem, we'd be able to much more definitively track down the
problem and find a solution.

Hi Nico,
set_axis_off() just sets ax.axison to False, so you could 
look at the value of ax.axison to get the information you need.

Hi Markus,
I didn't look at that code but I think the alternative you're
looking for is 
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
where you use the appropriate locations you want changed for the
different subplots axes.
If you're going to have a lot of subplots, you can simplify the
logic by first setting all spines to being invisible, and then
using ax.is_first_col(), is_first_row() and the corresponding
is_last_* methods to set the appropriate spines back to visible.
Like this:
#show only the outside spines
for ax in all_axes:
 for sp in ax.spines.values():
 sp.set_visible(False)
 if ax.is_first_row():
 ax.spines['top'].set_visible(True)
 if ax.is_last_row():
 ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(True)
 if ax.is_first_col():
 ax.spines['left'].set_visible(True)
 if ax.is_last_col():
 ax.spines['right'].set_visible(True)

Hello all,
i have made a python script to plot some netcdf files that go from 4mb to
80mb, and the main purpose is to plot one after another. This seems to work
fine, no problems there, but sometimes the computer crashes and i belive its
beacause the files are too big. Is there any way to accelerate the plot time
or reduce memory consumption? 
If your asking whats the error, well, actually i get no error, it just never
finishes plotting. I tried to wait for like 10 hours, and nothing happened
so i assume it crashed.
Thx in advance

Dear all,
I have had a quick look at changing the buttons in toolbar2. This seems 
to be backend dependent. It would be really nice to make it possible to 
add buttons to the toolbar and be backend agnostic. The button should 
have a picture and a hovertext associated with it. Is it very hard to 
include this in the next release of matplotlib?
Cheers

Hi,
I draw four subplots that touch each other. Thus the "middle cross" of the
frame is drawn twice and appears to be thicker then the "outer rectangle". I
came across an old post for an custom Axes that would allow to only draw
part of the frame
http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg10242.html
However, when I run the example provided I get an "can't set attribute
error" (see traceback below). I use Python 2.7.1 |EPD 7.0-1 (32-bit) on Mac
OS 10.5.8, which includes matplotlib version 1.0.1.
Is there a fix to get the custom class running again, or is there an
alternative way to achieve what I intend?
Thanks a lot,
Markus

The output should be have an endash, "80–120", but I'm getting "80--120". This is a standard feature of LaTeX ( http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Formatting ), so I don't know what's going on.
