matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Support for nan in inputs to matplotlib is presently spotty (and mostly 
accidental); use masked arrays instead. Masked arrays have been 
supported by contourf for a long time, but I added masked array support 
to quiver (and only for u and v, not for x and y) only very recently, so 
 until a new release is made (probably very soon) it will be available 
only in svn.
To make a masked array from your array with nans, do something like this:
import pylab as P
um = P.nx.ma.masked_where(P.nx.isnan(u), u)
It might make sense to have matplotlib argument handling code do this 
automatically on all arguments that can be masked arrays, but unless or 
until we make that change, you will have to to it manually as needed.

Dear all,
I have to quiver(x,y,u,v) , where u,v are displacement vectors and x,y 
their position.
I also have to contourf(x,y,u)
u and v have some nan elements. how does matplotlib handle nans because it 
returns this error:
ValueError: math domain error
Thanks

Looks like it has been added already. From
http://effbot.org/zone/pil-changes-116.htm
- Added "fromarray" function, which takes an object implementing the
 NumPy array interface and creates a PIL Image from it. (from Travis
 Oliphant).
- Added NumPy array interface support (__array_interface__) to the
 Image class (based on code by Travis Oliphant). This allows you to
 easily convert between PIL image memories and NumPy arrays:
import numpy, Image
i =3D Image.open('lena.jpg')
a =3D numpy.asarray(i) # a is readonly
i =3D Image.fromarray(a)

Hey guys:
Is there a way of hiding the mouse pointer in wxcursor_demo.py ?
I just want to keep cursor and do away with the mouse pointer.
I want to use it for ROI selection over an image, so the mouse pointer 
gets in the way.
I am so desperate that I even tried SetCursor() knowing it would not 
work ...

this is more of a wxPython question than an MPL one, so you might have 
more luck on wxPython-users.

How are you doing that? for the most part, you don't need (and 
shouldn't) destroy a wxPython window by hand -- let Python's garbage 
collection take care of it.
If you're a bit more specific as to what you need to do, perhaps someone 
could suggest another way.
Try to trim this down to the smallest possible example, make that a 
stand-alone application, post that, and we should be able to help.

I am not sure if this would be the right place to ask this question but I
figure there is no harm in asking and if it is the wrong place then just
disregard the questoin.
I am working with 3 seperate panels in a wx.Frame. One panel is used as a
status bar at the bottom displaying data. One of the panels is used as a
custom toolbar on the left side and the other Panel is used for multiple
things, collecting user info, which is displayed at the bottom and then
displaying a graph of data from a file, where the user has to chose
segments of the data, and then the graph needs to be redrawn.
My problem is when i go to destroy the first Graph panel, because there is
user input in between the first and second Graph, i get this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\wxmpl.py", line 1102, in OnActivate

13485, in __getattr__
 raise PyDeadObjectError(self.attrStr % self._name)
wx._core.PyDeadObjectError: The C++ part of the PlotPanel object has been

This only happens when I have clicked the exit button or the File, exit on
themenu, and the Exit dialog pops up. When i click yes, this error prints
out

Is anyone familiar with these or how i could get rid of them?

Didn't MPL originally use the Python API, but with less than stellar 
performance? I'm not sure how efficient we can get without making 
changes to wx. However, I think Robin Dunn is pretty open to making some 
of those changes.
For one, he told me a while back that he was going to try to expose some 
of the API for working directly with wxBitmaps. If we could dump data 
straight into a wxBitmap, that would be the best option. That's likely 
to be tricky, however, as a wxBitmap is a wrapper around whatever the 
platform-native format is for a Bitmap. However, while there are a lot 
of possible formats for native Bitmaps, 24bit RGB is pretty darn common, 
if we could get top performance from that from that format, we'd be a 
long way in the right direction.
Another (or additional) option is for both MPL and wx to support the new 
array interface protocol in numpy. There's a lot of other reasons to do 
that, and, again, Robin has expressed his support for this. If we could 
get MPL, wx, numpy, and PIL all passing data around with this protocol, 
we'd be in great shape. Travis posted a patch to PIL for support a while 
back, I don't know if it's going to get applied or not, but it's worth 
looking at.
Another place to look for idea is Enthought's Kiva -- It's Agg back-end 
interacts well with wx -- or so I've heard. I haven't tried it yet myself.
I'm no C++ wiz, but I'd be willing to help with the wx modifications -- 
it's been on my list for a while. Should I send a note to Robin Dunn for 
ideas?

Hi,
Yesterday I tried packing an application of mine which makes use of wxPython, 
scipy, and matplotlib with cx_Freeze.
The Traceback I get after running FreezePython --install-dir SPlot_dir 
SPlot.py and starting the application is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/cm/bin/initscripts/Console.py", line 27, in ?
 exec code in m.__dict__
 File "SPlot.py", line 17, in ?
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 720, 
in ?
 defaultParams = {
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 273, 
in wrapper
 ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 360, 
in _get_data_path
 raise RuntimeError('Could not find the matplotlib data files')
RuntimeError: Could not find the matplotlib data files
I should mention that the everything was done on one machine (running SuSE 
10.0 and python 2.4.1).
Anyone tried packing an application with matplotlib before and has a hint for 
me what to change? 
TIA
Christian
