In the following example the coordinates of the mouse
cursor displayed in the pylab window belong to the
second y-axis. But I would prefer to have the coordinates
of the first y-axis to be displayed. Is this possible?
import pylab as mpl
mpl.plot([1,3,2])
mpl.twinx()
mpl.plot([400,50,100])
mpl.show()

I guess I would have to see your code. The y-axis ticks works fine in the
examples:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/log_demo.html
Viewing the pdf or hires png shows 8 minor ticks.
Now, as for the x-axis, there are no minor ticks. That might be an issue...

Hi,
I set the log scales for both axes. However, as you see in the image y-axis
has only 4 minor ticks (8 expected) where as x-axis has none. I am using a
couple days old mpl build.

By default, setting the scale to log (e.g., ax.set_yscale('log')) should
automatically turn the minor ticks on for you. Note that depending on your
version of mpl, there may be a slight error in the documentation for
LogLocator.

Hello,
Considering this example plot:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/27/imagefki.png/
How can I get the minor ticks showing correctly? (ie., 9 minor ticks per
decade likewise for the x-axis)
For some reason
axis.set_minor_locator(LogLocator(numdecs=9) is not producing the desired
output.
Any hints?
Thanks.

I could not reproduce your problem with WxAgg backend on the development
branch. I could only test on Linux, though. However, if there is a
difference between platforms with WxAgg backend, then it is likely a Wx bug
and not a mpl bug (although the fact that the Wx backend worked is odd).
We are putting out an RC of v1.1.0 later today. Could you try out that
version within the next few days and let me know if it still happens for
you?

Hi,
I have a canvas with two subplots on it and the user can pick curves on each
subplot (all lines are pickable). I have created the ability to hide one
subplot and only show one of the two. The remaining subplot is also enlarged
to fit the canvas. This is done using:
self.subplot1.set_visible(True)
self.subplot2.set_visible(False)
self.subplot1.change_geometry(1,1,1)
self.canvas.draw()
However, when I do that, its only possible to pick curves in the area where
the original subplot was located.. like it hasn't updated the geometry for
picking feature.
Is there a way for me to do this?
Thanks,
Soren

I think I was saying (I'm not certain, since it's been a while since the
original email) that the function (layout.tight) had to be called again
*after* resizing.
BTW, one of the matplotlib devs (Jae Joon Lee, I believe) completely
rewrote/improved this function and added it to matplotlib as
tight_layout<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/figure.py#L1312>(both
as a pyplot function and a figure method). I'm not sure if the
function is in the current mpl release, but there's a pending release in the
works.
Best,

<quote author="Tony Yu-3">
A while back, I wrote some functions to calculate a good set of parameters for subplots_adjust (see attached; examples in if-main block at bottom). I've been using these functions pretty regularly, and it works pretty well for my purposes.
The function has to draw the figure a couple of times to calculate correct spacing. When redrawing the figure (e.g. when you resize the window), you'd have to re-call the function, which would redraw the figure a couple of times before drawing the final figure. That's all to say: this is a fairly slow function. If you don't have subplots (like in your example), you can call "layout.tight_borders()" (instead of "layout.tight()"), which only requires a single redraw.
When I originally posted this to the developers list, the functions didn't work with the GtkAgg backend. As far as I know, this hasn't changed. It should work fine for Qt4Agg, macosx, and TkAgg backends.

Hi Tony,
I copied your layout.py.
Then run the following python script:
------------------------------------------------------
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import layout
import random
fontsizes = [8, 16, 24, 32]
def example_plot(ax):
 ax.plot([1, 2])
 ax.set_xlabel('x-label', fontsize=random.choice(fontsizes))
 ax.set_ylabel('y-label', fontsize=random.choice(fontsizes))
 ax.set_title('Title', fontsize=random.choice(fontsizes))
fig, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=2)
example_plot(ax1)
example_plot(ax2)
example_plot(ax3)
example_plot(ax4)
def on_resize(event):
 print( 'on_resize()' )
 layout.tight()
def on_close(event):
 print( 'on_close()' )
 fig.canvas.mpl_disconnect( rsiz_id )
 print rsiz_id
layout.tight()
if False:
#if True:
 rsiz_id = fig.canvas.mpl_connect('resize_event', on_resize)
 print rsiz_id
 fig.canvas.mpl_connect('close_event', on_close)
plt.show()
------------------------------------------------------
Without the resize event it works as expected.
With the resize event (as you suggested),
it only adjusts the borders of the four axes to the outside of the figure.
But between the axes there is no space at all.
Do I miss something?
Thanks a lot

Without the resize event it works as expected.
With the resize event (as you suggested),
it only adjusts the borders of the four axes to the outside of the figure.
But between the axes there is no space at all.

Hi,
I found that ndarray is the wrong class to use for this purpose. The
vector I created in the example below was just en uninitialised 3D
vector. Arrays cannot be subclassed:
class Vector(np.array):
	pass
returns an error. But using a matrix as base class works:
class Vector(np.matrix):
	def __abs__(self):
		l = np.sqrt(self*self.transpose())
		return(l[0,0])
V1 = Vector([1,2,2])
V2 = Vector([5,0,4])
print abs(V2-2*V1)
prints 5.0, as it should.
It is very crude (no check on dimensions!), but works.

I did a brief test.
(I added the three "if ax. ..." to the file gridspec.py in the matplotlib library.)
(matplotlib 1.0.1)
As far as I can tell is, that the unexpected effect did not occur any more.
I did not test it with shared axis.

In my programs I will use this approach until we move to a more recent matplotlib version.

The dpi value, which can be overridden, will determine the size of the
output image. It looks to me like you just want the output to always
be the same size as your input image, so use imsave() instead of
imshow() followed by savefig() for this:
i.e. just do
map = Basemap(......)
pilImg = Image.open('bkgmap.gif')
rgba = pil_to_array(pilImg)
pyplot.imsave('outimg.png', rgba)
