matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I want to create a 3d plot with matplotlib. I've gotten it to work, and can
control the view (camera) angles, but I don't want any foreshortening /
perspective. Is there a way to just have a plain orthographic projection
instead?

Hello,
Congratulations for this new minor release !
Someone mentionned on python-list that it's not available on pypi. I
checked, and indeed it isn't.
Should we upload it there?
Thanks,
N

Hi, all,
It didn't work for me with mpl 1.3 but it does with 1.3.1 (openSuse 12.3,
python 2.7.3, 64-bit).
To install 1.3.1, I had to use the archive from SourceForge directly since
only 1.3.0 is listed on pypi (I used pip) -- could that be the source of
this issue for you?
Regards,
Paulo Meira

For what it is worth I see behaviour identical to Neal. I'm using a
development version of matplotlib (v1.4.x, sorry I don't know the hash of
the installed version) on 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) and Python 2.7.3.
That probably doesn't help much, except to show that this is not specific
to just Neal!

This is really puzzling. What version of matplotlib are you running, 
what platform, and what version of Python? Your example works just fine 
for me.

No. Also tried removing .matplotlibrc (in ~/.matplotlib).

Hello,
The script pasted below plots a square array. The (very small) output
PDF is attached to this posting. For reasons I do not understand,
there's a fine additional border immediately at the top and bottom of
the array.
If the commented-out line of code is removed, the strange border
disappears.
Now you will ask, why do I create the figure in this way and don't
simply use the commented-out line? The answer is that this script is a
simplified version of the function "map" from
http://git.kwant-project.org/kwant/tree/kwant/plotter.py?id=v1.0.0
There, we need to create a figure also when pyplot has not been
imported.
If we would import matplotlib.pyplot, the user of our package could not
freely choose the matplotlib backend himself.
Thanks,
Christoph

This example shows the error on my platform - the xlabel is not rendered with 
tex but instead the '$' are printed:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.xkcd()
fig = fig = plt.figure() 
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plt.plot (np.arange (10), 2*np.arange(10))
ax.set_xlabel ('$E_{s}/N_{0}$')
plt.show()

Strange. I don't have anything about usetex in the script, or in my 
.matplotlibrc - all it has is:
backend : Qt4Agg
mathtext.fontset: stix

Thanks. Setting figsize is indeed the way to achieve (almost) what I
wanted. My other followup in this thread describes the remaining issue.

Joe, thank you very much for your reply. So the "figsize" of a
matplotlib plot is the physical size of the region between the axes
where the data is shown? If this is indeed the case, as it seems, then
achieving (almost) what I wanted is as easy as setting a figsize with
the proper aspect ratio, like in your example.
Before your reply, I believed that "figure size" in matplotlib refers to
the size of the whole figure (including axes, axis labels, and borders),
as "figure" in matplotlib seems to be a name for instances of
matplotlib.figure.Figure which are the whole thing.
I said "almost" in the first paragraph as it would be nice if there was
a way to create figures that have a given total width (after cropping)
at a given font size. The reason is this: In many scientific journals
(for example Physical Review), figures are scaled to have the same width
as a column of text.
If I prepare a bunch of figures with the same width "within the axes"
and consistent font sizes and line widths, the resulting figures will
typically have somewhat different total widths. After scaling the
figures to the same width, the font sizes and line widths will differ
slightly from figure to figure.

The built-in mathtext support does. (I can put "xkcd()" at the top of 
the mathtext_demo.py example and all is well).
It does not work when |text.usetex| is True (when using external TeX). 
But in that case, it should have thrown an exception:
|Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "mathtext_demo.py", line 9, in <module>
 xkcd()
 File "/home/mdboom/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib-1.4.x-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 293, in xkcd
