matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

That's right. python setup.py build seems to execute without a problem (though there were some warnings). But then I get an architecture issue.

Hi Gideon,
this looks identical to
http://old.nabble.com/-matplotlib-problem-td30888849.html
The poster there solved the problem by using a 32 bit version of
python. If that's not an option for you, please provide a more
detailed description of the problems you run into building
matplotlib for your 64-bit python.
best,

So the build went ok then? Or is this the 32-bit matplotlib installer
with a 64-bit python?

Hi Matthias,
can you post the results of running the following:
import matplotlib
import IPython
print matplotlib.get_backend()
print matplotlib.__version__
print IPython.__version__
If you are trying IPython 0.11, this is a known issue as of 3
months ago [1].
There were also similar issues reported with using GTK [2], which
I believe were addressed in [3], and are waiting to be merged.
1. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/#issue/202
2. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/#issue/185
3. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/237

That was a feature added in matplotlib 1.0.0. You will need to upgrade your
version of matplotlib to perform that example.

Trying to get the referenced example from the mplot3d example web page working with Python 2.6.1 on Windows XP. Naturally, the line:
 
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 2, projection='3d')
 
fails since '3d' is not a recognized projection. Now, if I want to just plot the 3d, the solution that works seems to be:
fig = plt.figure()
ax = Axes3D(fig)
<snip>
surf = ax.plot_surface(<snip>)
 
However, I can't seem to find a way to create the one figure, add the 2D subplot and then the 3D subplot.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.

If you are on Ubuntu, you can do this easily with the following command:
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
Then you can try building matplotlib.
Ben Root

installed:
libfreetype6-dev
libpng12-dev
python-tk
libgtk2.0-dev
everything seems good, just need to configure GUI backend now, thanks.

You are missing headers from a number of critical libraries. Try using
your package manager to install the development packages of the
libraries mentioned in the build report:

Hi Waléria,
there was a typo in Daniel's reply. The function is called
errorbar, not errobar. For the object-oriented interface, you can
find it attached to an Axes instance, or call the corresponding
convenience function from the pyplot interface.
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
 # object-oriented interface
 ax = plt.subplot(1,1,1)
 ax.errorbar?
 
 # pyplot (matlab-like) interface
 plt.errorbar?
As Daniel pointed out, the question mark will pull up the
docstring if you're using IPython, but if you aren't, you
can always call python's help.
 help(plt.errorbar)
which will print the docstring for you.
hope that helps,

I second this. Given that the '%' approach to formatting will be deprecated
in later releases of the 3.x series, it probably would be a good idea to
start transitioning to the new approach.
To start, I would like to see a note added to the FormatStrFormatter docs
pointing to an example on how to use FuncFormatter to implement the new
style formatter.

Hi Jason,
here's an example that does what you want, using e^x as the
formula, change the paramter to fmtr to suit your needs:
ax = plt.subplot(1,1,1)
ax.plot(np.sin(np.linspace(0,np.pi)))
ax2 = ax.twinx()
ax2._sharey = ax # share both x and y
fmtr = mpl.ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x,pos: "%.2f"%np.exp(x))
ax2.yaxis.set_major_formatter(fmtr)
plt.draw()

Am I overlooking tick format support for ``format``?
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#format
If not, might it be added?
Ordinarily I'd use FormatStrFormatter, but this time
I wanted percentages, so I had to (?) use FuncFormatter.
This was both surprising (because ``format`` is core
Python functionality) and confusing (because the docs
did not point out that the user-provided function must
take two arguments).
Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
Yes, i tried import errorbar....i did this: import matplotlib.errobar , but

Hi, I have OS X 10.6.6, Python 2.7.1 installed from the binary at python.org, and I am trying to get mpl 1.0.1 running. I have no problem with numpy/scipy, but I seem to be having 32 vs. 64 bit issues with mpl. I believe that the binaries online are only 32 bit, yet my installation is 64 bit. I have tried using the make.osx file, but this has not proved successful so far. In part, I am trying to avoid installing duplicate png/zlib/freetype/... libraries, which seem to be working fine at present. Has anyone successfully gotten this running from source? Alternatively, does anyone have 64 bit binaries?

Hi there,
$ uname -a
Darwin nazgul.local 10.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0: Wed Nov 10
18:13:17 PST 2010; root:xnu-1504年9月26日~3/RELEASE_I386 i386
$ python -c 'import matplotlib ; print matplotlib.__version__'
1.0.1
I installed Matplotlib from Pypi.
I'm having two problems with the MacOSX backend:
1) Plot windows systematically appear *behind* any other window. This
makes it difficult to find them.
2) I can't type anything in the save dialog box. The cursor blinks in
the text box, but any typing goes to the terminal. This is the same I
believe as http://old.nabble.com/save-dialogue-in-macosx-bug-p27966555.html
I attach a screenshot to explain more clearly what's happening. Typing
'filename' in the save dialog box results in 'filename' being
displayed in the terminal window, where the red arrow points to.
This seems to be related to the MacOSX backend as switching to TkAgg
resolves #2 (#1 still happens).
Any ideas?

Bruno,
First, as a side note, even though your Windows machine is a 64-bit machine,
the fact is that you are running a 32-bit Windows, which will limit the
amount of memory any one process can use.
As for your error message, I believe that is actually something slightly
different than what I originally thought. Have you tried dealing with
path.simplfy? Which version of matplotlib are you running?
Ben Root

Hi Waléria,
you should try to figure out the docstring help :)
In a terminal (IDLE or IPython), just do
import matplotlib
matplotlib.errobar?
This will show you extensive help on the command.
You will also need to compare with the regular plot command:
matplotlib.plot?
Best regards,
Daniel
P.S. I cannot see what is wrong with your line. Change 'r' to 'b' and
the plot should be in blue.

Sure, check out the following:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
xs = np.arange(20)
ys = np.random.rand(20)
cs = (['y'] * round(0.25 * len(xs))) + (['g'] * round(0.5 * len(xs))) +
(['y'] * round(0.25 * len(xs)))
plt.bar(xs, ys, color=cs)
plt.show()
Admittedly, this isn't using matplotlib's hist() function because it only
allows for one color per dataset. However, you can use numpy's histogram
function to get the bins and counts yourself, and then use bar() to make the
bars. bar() will allow you to color the bars individually.
I hope this helps!

The performance issue for reading those data files will be largely dependent
on how fast the harddrives are on the machines.
The crashing issue is likely due to Windows XP's memory allocation mechanism
or running into the memory barrier for 32-bit machines. Is your Mac a
64-bit machine? If it is, then it is likely that getting a 64-bit Windows
machine would address the crashing issue. To be sure, I would watch the
memory usage of those scripts to see how high it gets.

Most likely, ipython is trying to import a different (broken?) version of
matplotlib than what python finds automatically. I would try re-installing
ipython.
