matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Since you are using OpenSuse, (and If you are brave enough) you can
add my REPO and use the latest version of matplolib:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ocefpaf/openSUSE_11.3/
I compile the svn version every week there.
Filipe.

I think the pretty-fying done in the Colorbar class will make this 
harder; at least, twiny on an existing colorbar doesn't work 
(overwrites original ticks); having two colorbars works fine but 
wastes space; and adding a spine had surprising side-effects (changed 
the color range!).
I would guess that you want a custom Colorbar class, with a different 
offset for a second set of ticks.
note that in colorbar.py, there's some code specific to CountourSets.

Since their package is crashing, I would report this bug against OpenSUSE's python-matplotlib package.
If that doesn't get you any response, it would be helpful to get a better idea of where it is failing. Can you provide a gdb backtrace?

Hi,
Since upgrading to SUSE 11.3 matplotlib simply craches
(segfault on dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so", 2);
> python -V
Python 2.6.5
> uname -a
Linux mcp20 2.6.34.7-0.5-default #1 SMP 2010年10月25日 08:40:12 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I did a 1-Click Installation from http://software.opensuse.org.
http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.3&file=devel%3A%2Flanguages%3A%2Fpython%2FopenSUSE_11.3%2Fi586%2Fpython-matplotlib-1.0.0-2.9.i586.rpm&query=python-matplotlib
So I have python-matplotlib-1.0.0-2.9.i586.rpm
When I do:
python -v -c "import matplotlib.figure"
...
import matplotlib.docstring # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/docstring.pyc
# /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py
import matplotlib.transforms # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.pyc
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so", 2);
Speicherzugriffsfehler
(means "Segfault")
The same is when I do:
python -v -c "from pylab import *"
mport matplotlib.docstring # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/docstring.pyc
# /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.py
import matplotlib.transforms # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/transforms.pyc
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/_path.so", 2);
Speicherzugriffsfehler
I googled around.
Some Chaco users seems to have similar problems.
But for now I have no idea what to do next.
Please, somebody be so kind and give me some hint.
Have a nice day.

Greetings.
I am making some contour plots and in my field for this particular value,
there are two widely used units. As such, it is very useful to have both
units listed on the colorbar. To clarify: the colorbar's normal ticks would
be facing to the right and labeled with Unit Type 1, which was the units
that the data were in when they were plotted. Unit Type 2 is simply a
factor of X different than unit type two. It would be nice if I could add a
second set of ticks to the color bar using a different locator and have them
face left. Is this possible? Is there another way to display two values for
each tick such that the colorbar shows both units?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. The problem I'm seeing is as Ryan describes (same effect 
as in the screenshot, but let me know if you still want me to provide an 
example), and appears in both the figure window and saved output (at least png 
and pdf). The backend I am using is Qt/Agg. I was using pcolor(), but it 
appears that pcolormesh() doesn't (always) have this problem. Setting 
antialiased=False removes some of the problems. In summary:
pcolor(), antialiased=True - lines on screen, png, pdf
pcolor(), antialiased=False - lines on pdf, fine on png/screen
pcolormesh() - lines on pdf, fine on png/screen
Regards,
Guy
