matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
I am migrating from octave to python and found matplotlib as an useful and
powerful resource.
I played with many animations examples and tried to build my own.
The objective is to build a live plot from data coming from an arduino.
The serial is working perfect (I can receive and plot data without problem).
Unfortunately, when I resize my animation windows, I get curves overlapped.
I must use blit because I have 6 subplots.
Please, check the attached files:
Python:
-> animationR00.py (main)
-> lib/
 -> AnalogPlot.py
 -> RingBuffer.py
 -> crc8.py
Arduino:
Teste.cpp (main)
Teste.h
ComSerial.cpp
ComSerial.h
OneWire.cpp
OneWire.h
I appreciate any help.

Your perturbed and unperturbed scenarios draw the same figure on my machine
(mpl v1.4.1).
The reason why you don't get any outliers is the following:
Boxplot uses matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats under the hood to compute where
everything will be drawn. If you look in there, you'll see this little
nugget:
 # interquartile range
 stats['iqr'] = q3 - q1
 if stats['iqr'] == 0:
 whis = 'range'
When whis = 'range', the whiskers fall back to extending to the min an max.
So that is at least the intent of the code. Open to a different
interpretation of what should be happening, though.

Are you running python 2 or python 3? If you're on python 2, what happens
if you add "from __future__ import division" to the top of your script?

Hi,
the outliers in the boxplot do not seem to be drawn in the following extreme
scenario:
Data Value: 1, Frequency: 5
Data Value: 2, Frequency: 100
Data Value: 3, Frequency: 5
Here, Q1 = Q2 = Q3, so IQR = 0.
Data values 1 and 3 are therefore outliers according to the definition in
the api
(Refer to parameter "whis" under "boxplot": 
http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html
<http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html> )
But the code below produces a boxplot that shows them as max-min whiskers
(rather than fliers):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
data = 100 * [2] + 5 * [1] + 5 * [3]
ax = plt.gca()
bp = ax.boxplot(data, showfliers=True)
for flier in bp['fliers']:
 flier.set(marker='o', color='gray')
<http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/file/n46027/figure_1.png> 
What I though it would look like is obtained by perturbing half of the data
points 2 to 2.000001:
<http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/file/n46027/figure_2.png> 
Is this a bug or I'm not getting something right?
