Last year I spent an evening trying to modify the ps or pdf backends to 
be a PGF/TIKZ backend. I wasn't very successful, but I was also trying 
to learn the system too. It seems like it would be easy to implement 
the few primitives in PGF instead of postscript, since the models are 
pretty similar, from what I recall. I haven't spent the time to revisit 
it, though, and it probably won't make it back to the top of my list for 
a while.
For those trying to pursue this, the PGF documentation is handy: 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/base/doc/generic/pgf/pgfmanual.pdf 
See p. 439 and p. 461 for commands for drawing paths with the "basic" 
layer, for example.

The difference is subtle. By having the graphics and text rendered by
the different system they will end up having a different 'look'. I
know that usetex solves most of the text-in-graphics issues, and that
TeX wasn't even designed to really layout anything but text and the
most minimal vector graphics, but TikZ is more than adequate for plots
and stands on its own merit as a fully-featured graphics language.
TeX+TikZ finally eliminates the need for external vector hackery. Of
course, I'll probably just use pdf and usetex as you suggest, but I
was hoping for something better.

What's wrong with including the ps/eps output in your latex docs, or
the pdf output for your pdflatex docs? That's what most people do.
You can enable the "usetex" option if you want tex to render the text

I'm trying to find a way to embed matplotlib graphs in LaTeX
documents. Ideally a solution would involve converting MPL's output
to TikZ in order to get native rendering of the graphics and text.
This seems like the "Right Way" to go, unfortunately, my classes start
on Monday, and I'm neither python nor TeX guru enough to begin a
project so ambitious and important. This is what I have done so far,
benevolent user that I am,

If anyone has more information on this or code to this effect I would
be very interested in learning/contributing.

The setting of the new ticklabels works now. But the first label is 
attached to the second tick. I tried to adapt the clim range by using 
the vmin and vmax option of pcolor but it did not help.
I also still have the problem that the changes are only performed on the 
last two subplots (in one loop run). The code of the plotting loop is:
for i in range(len(fname)):
 # Load data from file
 data1_amp = np.loadtxt(fname[4*i])
 data1_phase = np.loadtxt(fname[4*i+1])
 data2_amp = np.loadtxt(fname[4*i+2])
 data2_phase = np.loadtxt(fname[4*i+3])
 # Display data using pcolor
 ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(len(fname)/4,4,4*i+1)
 pc1 = ax1.pcolorfast(data1_amp,cmap=mpl.cm.Oranges)
 ax1.set_xlim((0,250))
 ax1.set_ylim((0,256))
 ax1.set_xticklabels('')
 ax1.set_yticklabels('')
 cb1 = fig1.colorbar(pc1,ax=ax1,orientation='horizontal',pad=0.00)
 cb1.ax.set_xticklabels(range(5),fontsize=10)
 ax2 = fig1.add_subplot(len(fname)/4,4,4*i+2)
 pc2 = ax2.pcolorfast(data1_phase,cmap=nat_per)
 ax2.set_xlim((0,250))
 ax2.set_ylim((0,256))
 ax2.set_xticklabels('')
 ax2.set_yticklabels('')
 cb2 = fig1.colorbar(pc2,ax=ax2,orientation='horizontal',pad=0.00, 
 ticks=[-np.pi,-np.pi/2,0,np.pi/2,np.pi])
 cb2.ax.set_xticklabels(range(5),fontsize=10)
 ax3 = fig1.add_subplot(len(fname)/4,4,4*i+3)
 pc3 = ax3.pcolorfast(data2_amp,cmap=mpl.cm.Oranges)
 ax3.set_xlim((0,250))
 ax3.set_ylim((0,256))
 ax3.set_xticklabels('')
 ax3.set_yticklabels('')
 cb3 = fig1.colorbar(pc1,ax=ax3,orientation='horizontal',pad=0.00)
 cb3.ax.set_xticklabels(range(5),fontsize=10)
 ax4 = fig1.add_subplot(len(fname)/4,4,4*i+4)
 pc4 = 
ax4.pcolorfast(data2_phase,cmap=nat_per,vmin=-np.pi-0.1,vmax=np.pi+0.001)
 ax4.set_xlim((0,250))
 ax4.set_ylim((0,256))
 ax4.set_xticklabels('')
 ax4.set_yticklabels('')
 cb4 = fig1.colorbar(pc2,ax=ax4,orientation='horizontal',pad=0.00, 
ticks=[-np.pi, -np.pi/2, 0.0, np.pi/2, np.pi])
 cb4.ax.set_xticklabels([r'$-\pi$', r'$-\frac{\pi}{2}$', r'0ドル$', 
r'$\frac{\pi}{2}$', r'$\pi$'],fontsize=10)

Hey everyone,
 
I cannot seem to get pylab to display a plot using WXAgg. For some reason,
the datapath that I set in my matplotlibrc and confirmed by checking
rcParams['datapath'] is not being passed correctly to wx. Instead, it
attempts to find the data (button images like subplots.png, etc.) in the
directory from which I called my IDE (Stani's Python Editor), which does
have an ' ./images/' subdirectory if that is at all relevant? Any ideas? I
tried searching the mailing list archives (is there a good way to actually
_search them_ ??), but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.

You should be able to pass font properties to set_xticklabels. If that
doesn't work, please post a complete example.

Hello,
I would like to have some custom ticklabels on a colorbar. In detail, I 
want the four labels '-\pi', -\pi/2', '0', \pi/2', \pi'. I tried to set 
manually each text object obtained from cb.ax.get_xticklabels():
t = cb4.ax.get_xticklabels()
 for j in t:
 j.set_text(r'$\pi$')
 j.set_fontsize(10)
 j.set_family('serif')
However, no matter what I set for text, it has no effect on the 
displayed figure.
Another problem is that I want to adjust the fontsize of the colorbar 
ticklabels on four subplots. This only works for the last two subplots 
with the syntax shown above. The same syntax has no effect on the first 
two subplots.
If anybody has some ideas I would be really gald about an answer.
Thanks in advance
Daniel

I can't reproduce this with SVN head here. I don't see anything in your
script that should cause this. Can you upgrade to the latest release, 0.99?

Hi,
ok meanwhile I found out that this is a typical beginners error, sorry.
Nevertheless, using ion(), and ioff() together with draw() works fine.
What I didn't find out up to now was the funtion
 ginput(n=1, timeout=30, show_clicks=True)
which prevents me from killing the window after every plot, so
thank you John Hunter-4. Before it was even not possible to 
move the focus to another window without crashing the application.
Now all behaves as "expected".
Thank you again.

It does -- I compiled the mpl OSX binaries using python 2.6.2 (from
src) from python.org on 10.5.6 with gcc 4.0.1

Michiel,
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5. My version of Python is 2.5.2, also from python.org.
Presumably the new matplotlib does compile with 2.6.2 on 10.5?
I'm a bit reluctant to install 2.6.2 now, since we'll be moving to
10.6 ASAP here for the Exchange compatibility, and I guess I'll be
want to reinstall all the python packages in i386/x86_64 architecture
rather than i386/ppc for 10.6.

I get the same error on OS X 10.5.8, gcc 4.0.1, Python 2.5.4 downloaded
from python.org. The failing command is:
gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -DPY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include -Isrc -Iagg24/include -I. -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5 -c src/_macosx.m -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.5/src/_macosx.o
Note the MacOSX10.4u.sdk in the isysroot and macosx-10.3 in the name of
the build directory. I suspect that this build of Python has been
compiled with some kind of compatibility settings to be usable on
earlier versions of the OS. Simply replacing 10.4 by 10.5 in the
isysroot option causes worse errors:
src/_macosx.m:1:25: error: Cocoa/Cocoa.h: No such file or directory
src/_macosx.m:2:53: error: ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h: No such file or directory
Can you suggest something further to try?

Are you on Mac OS X 10.5 or are you on an earlier version? The error message you're seeing indicates that MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 is defined, suggesting that you are on Mac OS X 10.5. But then it should be aware of CTFontRef ... Did you change anything in your Python setup?

John,
Thanks for the information. The solution worked so, I can now do a mouse
over over lines from either axes and have a nice little tooltip, etc. I
found that if I change the zorder of the axis right after attempting to
"pick" on the mouse event, it fails, but it's fine for my needs to just
toggle the "top" axes on mouse events when looking for a mouse hover. 
 if self.ax.get_zorder() == 0.1:
 ax.set_zorder( 0 )
 ax2.set_zorder( 0.1 )
 else:
 ax2.set_zorder( 0 )
 ax.set_zorder( 0.1 )
 self.figure.pick( event )
This is perhaps a bit of hackery, but I've not seen any mouse over legends
of the sorts built in. 
Thanks again,
-Erik

Whether or not you can do multiple show()s depends on which backend you use. For example, the Mac OS X native backend has no problems with the multiple show()s in your example. Which backend were you using? While matplotlib does not support multiple show()s in general, there may be a simple solution to get that working for the backend you are using.

I think I needed to create an "axes". This seems to have solved my problem.
a = f.add_subplot(111)
map = Basemap(projection='ortho',
       lat_0=34.0,
       lon_0=-117.3,
       resolution='l',
       area_thresh=1000,
       ax=a)

How do I embed basemap in Tk? I tried following the matplotlib example. But the following does not work (the earth does not appear):
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg') 
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg, NavigationToolbar2TkAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import Tkinter as Tk
root = Tk.Tk()
root.wm_title("Embedding in TK")
f = Figure()#figsize=(5,4), dpi=100)
map = Basemap(projection='ortho', lat_0=34.0,lon_0=-117.3, resolution='l' area_thresh=1000.)
map.drawcoastlines()
map.drawcountries()
map.fillcontinents(color='coral') 
map.drawmapboundary()
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root)
canvas.show()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP,
 fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
toolbar = NavigationToolbar2TkAgg( canvas, root )
toolbar.update()
canvas._tkcanvas.pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
Tk.mainloop()
thanks...

Hello,
For an application, I am writing, I need the naviguation toolbar 2 and
the BoxSelector and Lasso widgets. The user should be able to select
with the Lasso or BoxSelector widget even when zoom or pan is active
by pressing a modifier key.
I have managed to do this with the following code (for now, only for
the Box selector with modifier key shift):
**********************************
class ShiftBoxSelector(matplotlib.widgets.RectangleSelector):
 def press(self, event):
 if ((event.guiEvent.state & gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK)!=gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK) :
 return
 return matplotlib.widgets.RectangleSelector.press(self,event)
class NoShiftNavigationToolbar2(matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg.NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg):
 def press_pan(self, event):
 if ((event.guiEvent.state & gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK)==gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK) :
 return
 return matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg.NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg.press_pan(self,event)
 def press_zoom(self, event):
 if ((event.guiEvent.state & gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK)==gtk.gdk.SHIFT_MASK) :
 return
 return matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg.NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg.press_zoom(self,event)
 def pan(self,*args):
 x = matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg.NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg.pan(self,*args)
 self.canvas.widgetlock.release(self)
 return x
 def zoom(self,*args):
 x = matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg.NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg.zoom(self,*args)
 self.canvas.widgetlock.release(self)
 return x
**********************
Is this a good solution?
My application is not threaded and the only other widgets interacting
with the plots are gtk buttons. However there will be several plots in
different tabs each with their own naviguation toolbar, boxselector
and lasso widgets. What are the risks of unlocking the canvas when
zoom/pan is active?
Thank you for your help,
 Bernard

We are working on plotting mesh (in hermes2d:
http://hpfem.math.unr.edu/projects/hermes2d-new/) We created a python
function to plot mesh but initially without curves. Later we also tried to
work on curved elements but we are having some problems.
In the hermes2d examples curves are defined as [4, 7, 45] where 4,7
are vertices indices, and 45 is center angle.
But in matplotlib we do not see any function to plot curve with these data,
we have to convert them into something more useful to those functions
available in matplotlib. For ex:
1) matplot.path porvides a way to plot curve with three points
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/path_api.html#module-matplotlib.path
 p1 -> starting Point
 p2 -> control point
 p3 -> end point
 iI we want to go this way we do have p1 & p3 but have to calclate p2
(control point)
2) matplot.patch.arc provides a way to plot an arc
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#module-matplotlib.patches
 but it needs
 -> center of circle
 -> start angle
 -> end angle
 -> radius of circle
 we have to calculate all these with data available to us
We didn't find other ways of plotting curves using matplotlib...and in our
view method 1 is the best way for us because currently we have implemented
matplotlib.path to draw mesh without curves, and it will be easy to fill
color this way.
We tried the method 1 but the result was a garbled mesh. I would appreciate
if anybody could guide us how we can use the matplotlib functions to draw
curved elements if we are given information as described above.
Thanks
