matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I have a look like this:
 for i,_ in enumerate(myRunObject.results[0]):
 pylab.plot(x, counts[i])
That will plot a bunch of curves and I would like the point style to change
as well as the colour (which changes automatically). Is there a nice way to
do this? The only idea I had was to make a list of the possible point styles
that I like and grab a point style from that list according to the index =
mod(i, len(listOfPointStyles))

Werner,
Thanks for your work in solving this problem. I'm experiencing the same trouble.
I can compile to .exe if I exclude wxmsw26uh_vc.dll, but then when I run my
final .exe, I get a error dialog popup and the program won't run.
The dialog says "The procedure entry point ?GetZoom@wxPrintPreview@@UBEHXZ
could not be located in the dynamic link library wxmsw26uh_vc.dll"
Did you experience this problem after compiling with 
an excluded wxmsw26uh_vc.dll?
BTW, I'm working with Python 2.4, the unicode verison of wxPython,
and windows XP.
With Regards,
Daniel McQuillen

Daniel: If you know what the lat/lon boundaries of all the tiles are 
beforehand, you can create Basemap instances for all those tiles once, 
then save them to pickles and have the app just load those pickles on 
demand. That way you will avoid the overhead of creating the Basemap 
instances, which can be significant, especially when higher resolution 
boundaries are used (since all of those boundaries have to be 
transformed from geographic to projection coordinates when the instance 
is created).

Hi,
I'm using django and basemap to render tiles i can use to make an
overlay on google maps. I'm using this to generate a topology of an open
mesh network (freifunk) here in leipzig :)
On my local developing machine this works very nice and due heavy
caching of database lookups it doesn't seem slow. My problem is, that
the production machine isn't that fast and has to little memory :(
Now I'm thinking of a better algorithm to generate the tiles. Currently
they are generated on demand and then saved to disc for later usage. But
the topology is fetched every 10 minutes, so the disc files timeout
relative fast.
my current algorithm looks like this:
fetch all node positions and cache them through pickle.
These are rendered as small blue dots on the map (Yes, here I can
optimize to only call plot when the node is in boundries of the tile.
then all connections for the last topo are fetched and cached.
Now there is a problem, I have to plot all connections into the plot,
because it's not easy to say which lines are actually in the tile. I
haven't looked deep into matplotlib to know how optimized it already
ignores plots which are out of bound.
Now I'm asking my self: is it possible to make a basemap instance with
some lat/lng borders, plot all stuff in it, and then move the borders to
get a new tile which is next to the last one ? Would such a algorithm be
faster then the current one ?
If not, there is also the posibility to create one large image at
largest zoomlevel for the most used region and then cut and scale the
image until all tiles are generated.
You can find the sourcecode at:
http://ff-firmware.quamquam.org/trac/browser/ffsomething/trunk/apps/uptime/topoimg.py
mktopo() is acutally doing the work :)
kindly regards
 Daniel
