Hello all,
I want to adjust the wspace used in a gridspec plot on a cell by cell basis. Anyone have suggestions for how to do that? I haven't been able to find an api to do that directly. The other possibility would be to be able to embed a gridspec within a gridspec, but I'm not sure if that's possible, either.
More details: I have a plot that has two subplots arranged in a single row or column. Both plots share their relevant border axis, so I don't want space between them. They also share a color bar, however, and the only way I've been able to get that to draw in a sane way was to give it it's own axes instance in a separate cell of the gridspec. I therefore want to remove the space between the main plots without removing it for the color bar. This worked fine for the wider than tall plots since I could stack them and set hspace to 0 and have the color bar extend across rows. For the pair of plots that are more square, and therefor best put side by side, I'm having trouble finding a solution.
Thanks,
Sean

This should get you started. Unfortunately, the documentation is very
sparse, but the examples should be illuminating. Note that you will need
to have either ffmpeg or mencoder installed if you wish to save any of
these to movie files.

Animation/movie advice.
So, earlier, I got some help in finding out about pcolorfast that allowed me
to plot some data as a nice contour.
Now, I would like to get fancier and actually take a look as such contour as
it varies with time...
how to go about it? 
some kind of animation? or movie?
If I want to do one cycle wt=0..2pi rad, or equivalently, wt=1..360 deg, I
could go ahead and create all 360 contours ahead of time, save them, and
them somehow display them in a sequence.
I just have never done animation or gluing pictures into a movie.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Germán

Michael: The NetCDFFile function was deprecated a few releases back, and recently removed. If you have netcdf4-python installed you can do
from netCDF4 import Dataset as NetCDFFile
and the script should work as before.
Regarding the second error, you must open the file for write access
 (mode='w') if you want to add attributes to the data variables.

Making some progress. Following here:
http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/wiki/UbuntuInstall
I've installed HDF5 after installing build-essential package. With just gcc installed I got an error.
The ./configure in netcdf4 directory failed, but completed with --disable-netcdf-4. I went ahead anyway hoping I don't need netCDF-4 formats or the additional netCDF-4 functions. Besides that issue, what's also not clear is where is setup.py file for the last step. It is not in the netcdf directory after the make install finished. I assume netcdf-python package will not conflict with the python-netcdf and netcdf versions installed through package manager.

Got sidetracked with an OS issue. Back on the case. Where is the setup.py file I'm to install? I've installed both HDF5 and netcdf-4, correctly I hope.

Sorry -- I seem to have missed that in the transition from Sourceforge 
to github hosting. I restore it. In the meantime, you can download the

Hi All,
I'm trying to access to the sampledoc tutorial, but seems it is no more on git/sourceforge,
i tried at the link :
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/sampledoc/
do you know where can i find it ?
Thanks!
Massimo.
