matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Is it possible to draw a streamlines plot as shown in the following:
http://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Examples/Images/ngl04p.0.png
using matplotlib or basemap?
Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to modify the embedding_in_tk.py example to use the
grid manager instead of pack. I can get the plot to show ok but I
can't seem to get the toolbar to show correctly. The following code
does get the toolbar on there but it does use pack for the frame and
also I always end up with an extra blank window (this code is
simplified from something that a Bonnie Douglas posted on this list
recently).
Any suggestions?
#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
import Tkinter as Tk
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg,
NavigationToolbar2TkAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from numpy import arange, sin, pi
# create toplevel window
tl=Tk.Toplevel()
tl.title("storage")
# create frame
frame=Tk.Frame(master=tl)
fig=Figure(figsize=(12,6), dpi=100)
# create plots
a1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
t = arange(0.0,3.0,0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
a1.plot(t,s)
# create canvas
canvas=FigureCanvasTkAgg(figure=fig, master=frame)
canvas.show()
c=canvas.get_tk_widget()
c.grid(row=0, column=0)
# problems with toolbar not showing solved by setting the master to
# the toplevel window, not the frame!!!
toolbar=NavigationToolbar2TkAgg(canvas, tl)
toolbar.update()
frame.pack()
Tk.mainloop()

Hello,
I wrote the solution implemented in the hope that it serves at someone else.
The Situation
=========
I wrote a script using basemap and matplolib. which draw a map.Dread a
file containing a bunch of Genbank accession numbers, and downloaded
the Genbank records:
....
from pylab import *
import os, sys
import os.path
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
map = Basemap(projection='cyl', resolution='l')
map.drawcoastlines()
map.drawmapboundary()
...
This worked fine as a script, but when I attempted to turn it into a
Windows executable with py2exe and the setup.py script:
"""
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import glob
import matplotlib
opts = {
 'py2exe': { "includes" : ["sip", "PyQt4", "matplotlib.backends",
	 "matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg",
 "matplotlib.figure","pylab", "numpy",
"matplotlib.numerix.fft","mpl_toolkits.basemap",
 "matplotlib.numerix.linear_algebra",
"matplotlib.numerix.random_array",
 "matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg"],
 # 'excludes': ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg','_agg2','_cairo',
'_cocoaagg', '_fltkagg', '_gtk', '_gtkcairo', ],
 'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll']
 }
 }
data_files = [(r'mpl-data',
glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\*.*')),
 # Because matplotlibrc does not have an extension,
glob does not find it (at least I think that's why)
 # So add it manually here:
 (r'mpl-data',
[r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc']),
(r'mpl-data\images',glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\images\*.*')),
(r'mpl-data\fonts',glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\*.*'))]
setup(windows=[{"script" : "myapp.py",
	"icon_resources": [(1, "myapp.ico")]}, ],
 version = "1.0",
		options=opts, data_files=data_files)
with the command python setup.py py2exe, attempting to run the
resulting myapp.exe would throw an error.
The Error
========
This is the error thrown on running the executable:
Traceback (most recent call last)
 File "myapp.py", line 40, in <module>
 File "mpl_toolkits\basemap\__init__.pyc", line 774, in __init__
 File "mpl_toolkits\basemap\__init__.pyc", line 848, in _readboundarydata
IOError: Unable to open boundary dataset file. Only the 'crude', 'low',
'intermediate' and 'high' resolution datasets are installed by default.
If you are requesting a 'full' resolution dataset, you may need to
download and install those files separately
(see the basemap README for details).
The Problem
==========
Location of basemap data
The problem is identified when basemap is imported, the code of
basemap/__init__.py try to establish the basemap data directory in the
library.zip file.
[install dir]\dist\library.zip\mpl_toolkits\basemap\data
Under normal script-like execution, it works, the path is a string
indicating a location accessible through the filesystem . However with
py2exe, the location of data basemap directory is located within the
shared zip archive that py2exe creates and the above error is thrown.
The Solution
==========
The solution came in three times
1. Add mpl_toolkits.basemap in the option list (setup.py)
#--------------------------------------------
opts = {
 'py2exe': { "includes" : ["sip", "PyQt4", "matplotlib.backends",
"matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg",
 "matplotlib.figure","pylab", "numpy",
"matplotlib.numerix.fft","mpl_toolkits.basemap",
 "matplotlib.numerix.linear_algebra",
"matplotlib.numerix.random_array",
 "matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg"],
#--------------------------------------------
2. Add basemap\data in data_files list
#--------------------------------------------
data_files = [(r'mpl-data',
glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\*.*')),
 (r'mpl-data',
[r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc']),
(r'mpl-data\images',glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\images\*.*')),
(r'mpl-data\data',glob.glob(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mpl_toolkits\basemap\data\*.*')),
#---------------------------------------------
3. Modification of
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\mpl_toolkits\basemap\__init__.py
Near l.50, add the block "check if it turns into a Windows executable
with py2exe"
if 'BASEMAPDATA' in os.environ:
 basemap_datadir = os.environ['BASEMAPDATA']
 if not os.path.isdir(basemap_datadir):
 raise RuntimeError('Path in environment BASEMAPDATA not a directory')
else:
 basemap_datadir = os.sep.join([os.path.dirname(__file__), 'data'])
#-----------------------------------------------
# Check if it turns into a Windows executable with py2exe
 import re
 if (basemap_datadir.find("library.zip") > -1):
 basemap_datadir=re.sub("library.zip","",basemap_datadir)
 basemap_datadir=re.sub("mpl_toolkits","mpl-data",basemap_datadir)
 basemap_datadir=re.sub("basemap","",basemap_datadir)
#-----------------------------------------------
This works under normal script execution and in py2exe mode.

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the sphinx matplotlib extensions to work. After
adding "'matplotlib.sphinxext.plot_directive'" to the extension list for my
documentation project, when running the sphinx build script, Python
immediately crashes ("python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience....").
I assume it's a matplotlib C extension issue (because I don't see why sphinx
would crash the interpreter).
I'm using 32-bit Windows XP, matplotlib 0.99.1 and sphinx 0.6.5. I've tried
both Python 2.5 and 2.6 with the same result.
Importing matplotlib and plotting works just fine.

I believe EPD's default is wxAgg.

You can add those to "data_files", or you may need to copy them with a 
little custom code at the end of your setup.py file.

Then it may be an EPD bug, you might as on the EPD list.

You also might try a different back-end. I'm not sure what EPD sets as 
the default but there are sometimes odd Tk issues. EPD should support 
wxPython (wxAgg), and maybe the macosx back-end.

Much of the MPL API was modeled after the Matlab API, so you may have to 
ask Mathworks.
However: an "axis" is a single thing -- "the x axis". "axes" is the 
plural of axis, so when you have a thing with both an x and y axis, is 
is an "axes".

This should be doable using the annotation. Here is a simple cook-up I
just did. it uses a naive algorithm to place the labels, but I guess
it gives you an idea how things work.
a screenshot is attached.

-JJ
from pylab import *
# make a square figure and axes
figure(1, figsize=(6,6))
ax = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8])
labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs'
fracs = [15,30,45, 10]
explode=(0, 0.05, 0, 0)
p = pie(fracs, explode=explode, shadow=True)
title('Raining Hogs and Dogs', bbox={'facecolor':'0.8', 'pad':5})
for p1, l1 in zip(p[0], labels):
 r = p1.r
 dr = r*0.1
 t1, t2 = p1.theta1, p1.theta2
 theta = (t1+t2)/2.
 xc, yc = r/2.*cos(theta/180.*pi), r/2.*sin(theta/180.*pi)
 x1, y1 = (r+dr)*cos(theta/180.*pi), (r+dr)*sin(theta/180.*pi)
 if x1 > 0 :
 x1 = r+2*dr
 ha, va = "left", "center"
 tt = -180
 cstyle="angle,angleA=0,angleB=%f"%(theta,)
 else:
 x1 = -(r+2*dr)
 ha, va = "right", "center"
 tt = 0
 cstyle="angle,angleA=0,angleB=%f"%(theta,)
 annotate(l1,
 (xc, yc), xycoords="data",
 xytext=(x1, y1), textcoords="data", ha=ha, va=va,
 arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="-",
 connectionstyle=cstyle,
 patchB=p1))
show()

Yes, that makes it work.
Thank you JJ.

The example assumes that the file is a dump of uin16 512x512 array.
So, no doubt that it won't work with a png file.

How was the name Axes chosen for the Axes component? :)
It did confuse me for at least two days while I was first learning 
mpl. It's in my thoughts again as I'm writing some wrapper classes for 
it; what were the alternatives considered, even after the fact? :)

You need to define your own path (or you may combine a wedge and rectangles).
This may be helpful.

In the current implementation, sharing the axis does not mean sharing its scale.
This is not a subplots-specific issue, but applies to all kind of axes sharing.
So you need to change the scale of all the axes even though they have
shared axis.
What seems to be a better approach to me is to initialize "subplots"
with proper scale.
f, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2,2, sharey=True,
 subplot_kw=dict(yscale="log"))

Hello,
I am having some issues generating pie charts, when some of the slices
become very small, their labels
will draw on top of each other, making it impossible to distinguish between
them. And I am trying to avoid using a legend.
Does anyone know if there is a way to properly position labels of pie charts
to avoid overlapping.
(By for example distributing them vertically with lines pointing to their
respective slices)
Similar to what is done here:

The 1st code snippet of image_demo2.py is as follows
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
w, h = 512, 512
s = file('../data/ct.raw', 'rb').read()
A = fromstring(s, uint16).astype(float)
A *= 1.0/max(A)
A.shape = w, h
I replaced s = file('../data/ct.raw', 'rb').read() with s =
file('/home/jaguar/Developemnt/image_demo2.png', 'rb').read()
The image is same as in given demo example(its given in .png format)
and rest of code is also same.....
when I run it it gives the error as *" *
*A = fromstring(s, uint16).astype(float)*
*ValueError: string size must be a multiple of element size"*
WHat can be the error in program? I may asking stupid question Thanks
in advance !

Yogesh

I managed to resolve it, by following Mike's hint thanks Mike.
It was simply to change the setup.py script to
	import cx_Freeze
	import sys
	import matplotlib
	base = None
	if sys.platform == "win32":
	base = "Win32GUI"
	executables = [
		cx_Freeze.Executable("script.py", base = base)
	]
	cx_Freeze.setup(
		name = "script",
 options = {"build_exe": {"include_files":[( matplotlib.get_data_path(),"mpl-data")],}},
		version = "0.1",
		description = "Sample matplotlib script",
		executables = executables)

Thank you!
I just thought there must be a solution.
I saw someone posted he can modified contour.py to fix this, but I failed.

I am not sure, I am unfamiliar with the enthought distribution.
As a possible temporary "fix", when I had this problem, I was able to 
copy and paste the name of a file into the OSX save box from another 
window/terminal etc, and so could still make new names for the files.

I am using the enthought distribution, I would hope that it was done right
but maybe not.

Hi Vincent,
I had this problem when I installed python from source code and did 
not use the --enable-framework flag at the ./configure stage (learned 
I should have it from some document - but can't remember if it was in 
matplotlib doc, on the internet, in a python doc etc).
I then went back and recompiled python with this flag (at configure), 
but still had some warnings.
So then I built python from the a dmg file from the python website, 
and everything works great (I don't think I even needed to rebuild 
matplot lib).
The enable-framework option is what you need for proper GUI backend 
support (here I don't really know what I am talking about, but I think 
I remember the key jargon) and the OSX save box is part of this GUI 
interface.
Maybe this is what is causing your problem also.

I am not able to name plots when saving them from the plot menu in OSX. When
I click the save menu item I get the nice OSX save dialog box but I am not
able to type in the text field. I can select an existing file which then
fills the text field with that name but I am still not able to change the
name. At this point I can save the file and it does not overwrite the file
as long as it is not a png which is the file type the plot gets saved as.
And the magic fix is ?????? :)
