matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

This is probably the docstring problem mentioned at the bottom of 
<http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/MatPlotLib>.

Hi All,
I hope someone can help, I have run into a few problems when trying to
execute an exe file created when I use py2exe with matplotlib.
I have python2.5, matplotlib v0.99.1 and py2exe from GUI2Exe v0.5.0
optimisation is python -OO
the files compile correctly however when I execute the exe I get an error as
shown below
this is an extract
 File "matplotlib\mlab.pyo", line 380, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'NoneType' and 'dict'
the traceback points to this line of my code
from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import NavigationToolbar2WxAgg
does anyone know how to solve this, i have seen references made to numpy but
not matplotlib
Regards
Marco

Hallo,
I'm try to use MathTextParser output for cairo in my wxpython gui. Works well under ubunutu linux (maybe dublicated font) but fails under windows (screenshot: http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/62985/auswahl_017_RC86gk.png ).
How to tell cairo to use the font file from mpl-data?
Here some code:
from matplotlib.mathtext import MathTextParser
from matplotlib.font_manager import ttfFontProperty
import wx
import wx.lib.wxcairo
import cairo
#...
MPC = MathTextParser("Cairo")
dc = wx.BufferedPaintDC(self)
ctx = wx.lib.wxcairo.ContextFromDC(dc)
#...
width, height, descent, glyphs, rects = self.mathtext_parser.parse(r"$a_0+a_1\xi+a_2\xi^2+a_3\xi^3$",dpi,prop)
#...
for font, fontsize, s, ox, oy in glyphs:
 #...
 fontProp = ttfFontProperty(font)
 #...
 ctx.select_font_face (fontProp.name,
 self.fontangles [fontProp.style],
 self.fontweights[fontProp.weight])
 #...
 ctx.show_text(s.encode("utf-8"))
 #...
#...

No. Pcolor simply fills quadrilaterals. There is a NonUniformImage 
class that accepts image interpolation options. I don't think anyone 
has ever gotten around to giving it a nice interface via an Axes method 
or pyplot function, but there is an example of its use:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/image_nonuniform.html
In the svn version of mpl there is also a gouraud shading option to 
pcolormesh, which provides interpolation on non-rectangular grids.

Hi,

> I guess its not possible with this tool.
You could use the ticks' properties (one of their children is a 
matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance which you could modify to your wishes). The 
second possibility is see is you put a box with only two drawn borders around 
the labels, which I think might lead to problems.
So if you want to inspect, what you can do with those ticks you can use
pyplot.getp(object_to_inspect) and pyplot.setp(object_to_inspect) aswell as
dir(object_to_inspect).
I mostly do this by having an open python shell where I create and check out 
the properties I want to work on and a little script I modify to check out how 
the changes affect the plot. What I did looked something like this:
>>> from matplotlib import pyplot
>>> fig = pyplot.figure() 
>>> p = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> p.yaxis.set_ticks([3,4,5]) 
[<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xa3b580c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 
0xa6861cc>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xa6a858c>]
>>> m = p.yaxis.set_ticks([3,4,5])
>>> dir(m[0])
['__class__', '__d..........., 'get_children', 'get_cli.......]
>>> pyplot.getp(m[0])
 alpha = 1.0
...
 children = [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xa3b5fac>, <m...
...
>>> m[0].get_children()
>>> pyplot.getp(m[0].get_children()[0])
>>> pyplot.setp(m[0].get_children()[0])
and if you don't have the return of creating the ticks ("m" in this case) then 
you can get then using
>>> p.yaxis.get_children()
[<matplotlib.text.Text object at 0xaa80a6c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 
0xaa9494c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaa80a0c>, 
<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab650c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 
0xaab652c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab68ec>, 
<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab6cec>]
Hope it helps,
Malte

Hi,
Using the following
>>> pcolor(x,y,z,shading='interp')
is it possible to change the interpolation method used? I noticed that there
are set_interpolation methods for images created using
In [83]: h = imshow( z)
In [84]: h.set_interpolation?
Type: instancemethod
Base Class: <type 'instancemethod'>
String Form: <bound method AxesImage.set_interpolation of
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x047B27D0>>
Namespace: Interactive
File: c:\python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\image.py
Definition: h.set_interpolation(self, s)
Docstring:
 Set the interpolation method the image uses when resizing.
ACCEPTS: ['nearest' | 'bilinear' | 'bicubic' | 'spline16' |
 'spline36' | 'hanning' | 'hamming' | 'hermite' | 'kaiser' |
 'quadric' | 'catrom' | 'gaussian' | 'bessel' | 'mitchell' |
 'sinc' | 'lanczos' | ]
are these available for pcolor?
Thanks!

Is there any API to draw the lines between the labels?
I guess its not possible with this tool.

What does
 >>> matplotlib.get_backend()
report? According to http://www.wingware.com/doc/howtos/matplotlib
they are assuming TkAgg. You may also want to read the suggestions at
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/shell.html
for advice on how to use matplotlib interactively from the command
shell in an IDE. Basically, you need to make sure your "backend"
corresponds to the GUI and interactive mode is set to True. See also
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html

Mike,
 
Wingware is only example that commerciale soft can not solv ethis problem never,
 
it gets stuck in all tested by me IDE inclusing Komodo,pythonxy,...
 
 
is is general problem if Matplotlib even staertd in book as I mentined previoulsy

If I pass the imshow an array, the resulting memory consuption is approximatelly 46 times greater than the array size. If I do not add the canvas to a window (in a code below), the memory consuption is "only" 8 times greater. Any tips on how to reduce the memory consuption would be very appreciated and any explanation of how much memmory imshow allocates too. Configuration and script are below.

Personally, I don't use Wingware, so I don't know any specifics about 
using matplotlib in that environment. You could try asking this 
question on a Wingware-related mailing list.

Dear all,
I'm struggling with the following problem plotting my data:
I have a figure with two panels next to each other, which I want to
label 'A' and 'B'. I want to left-justify my panel labels, but not to
the box that contains the plot, but to the y-axis label. I played around
with 'text()' and 'title()', but did not find a good solution except for
giving the coordinates manually to 'text()'. This would be very
inconvenient though, because I have many different plots on different
scales.
Here is what I tried:
###Code
import scipy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(121)
plt.plot(scipy.sin(scipy.arange(1,100, 0.001)))
plt.xlabel('xlabel')
plt.ylabel("ylabel")
plt.text(0,1,"A", fontsize=14, transform=ax.transAxes) 
ax = fig.add_subplot(122)
plt.plot(scipy.cos(scipy.arange(1,100, 0.001)))
plt.text(0,1,"B", fontsize=14, transform=ax.transAxes)
plt.xlabel('xlabel')
###End Code
So the texts 'A' and 'B' should be a little bit higher and more to the
left. The 'A' I want to align with the y-axis label of the left plot,
the 'B' with the values of the y-axis of the right plot. 
I hope my question is clear, I will appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance,
Hannes

On Linux, I only see about an extra 24kb being used when the canvas is 
added to a window vs. not adding it (i.e. commenting out the 
window.add(canvas) line).
In general, here's the memory usage to be expected from imshow (if it's 
a floating-point, not-rgb(a) array as you have here):
The original data: 4-bytes-per-pixel for float32 or 8-bytes-per-pixel 
for float64 (in your example the array is float64).
Intermediate float data: *if* the original is not float64, then an 
intermediate float64 is created (not the case here)
The colorized data: 4-bytes-per-pixel at original array size
The sized data: 4-bytes-per-pixel at the scaled figure size
I hope I'm not forgetting anything, but the point is that to support 
high-speed rendering of plots, the memory usage is much greater than the 
data itself. If your data is truly large, the usual technique is to 
decimate or downsample it before passing it to matplotlib, as you're not 
going to see more data points than pixels on your display anyway.

If I pass the imshow an array, the resulting memory consuption is approximatelly 46 times greater than the array size. If I do not add the canvas to a window (in a code below), the memory consuption is "only" 8 times greater. Any tips on how to reduce the memory consuption would be very appreciated and any explanation of how much memmory imshow allocates too. Configuration and script are below.

The license itself is the ultimate reference, but in a nutshell, you
are free to use matplotlib in a commercial, closed source application.
 The only clause that could potentially require action from you is
that if you *modify* matplotlib and want to distribute it for others,
you need to summarize the changes you made (clause 3).
If you end up making a lot of money, remember us on the "donations" page :-)

Hi All,
Im new to matplotlib, and I love it, but I have a question about the
Licence agreement.
I am wanting to develop a commercial closed source application for my
company using python and matplotlib.
I have tried reading the Licence agreement, but have trouble understanding it.
Could someone please tell me under what conditions I can use
matplotlib in a closed source application?
Kind Regards,
Craig

I suggest having a look at the ScalarFormatter classer in ticker.py.
The feature you are looking for has already been implemented there.

Hello,
I plot views of 3D data without axis. The plotting results usually in plenty
of surrounding white space. Is there an easy way to get rid of it (easy
meaning without having to keep track of the spacial extension of my 3D data)
?
Thanks in advance,
Ruben

Hello folks.
I am trying to teach pylab to use latex to write numbers with an
exponent in the plot legend.
So far my plot labels are formatted with scientific notation, where
I use the format operate:
import pylab
ra_list,b = data
pylab.plot(ra_list,b, label='Ra = ' + "{0:4.2e}".format(ra_list[i]))
pylab.legend()
pylab.show()
What I ultimately want is that the exponent shows up as an exponent,
a la LaTeX style in the legend: $\mathrm{Ra} = 10^6$.
Does anybody know of a way how to do this with pylab?
Cheers, Ralph

I want to format my graph as in MS-Excel. I don't know what term to use for
this.
It looks like the X-axis has 2 labels on them.

I have showed it in the image that is generated from Excel. I want to have

Can anyone tell me how exactly this can be achieved?
Thanks !
Raj.
