matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Sorry for bother, not sure if this goes through or not.
I had a plot with hatch in it. But the default linewidth for hatch makes it
really hard to see in my current figure layout/scale, so I would like to
increases the hatch linewidth;
plt.bar(ind, s1[:,3],width, color='0.85', edgecolor='black',
linewidth=[0.5],hatch='-----//////')
The linewidth there can only change the width of the edge, but not the
hatch width;
I did several google searches with no solution. But I indeed noticed that
several years ago (back to year 2011), this is impossible as the hatch
linewidth is hard coded as:
hatch_path_stroke.width(1.0);
But is this implemented so that I can change the hatch linewidth?
Best regards
Luis

You have some logic issues here. First off, I wouldn't be updating the plot
in the same function that is updating the data values. Assuming that
"loop_start()" is asynchronous, the update frequency for it is likely to be
entirely different from the Animation update frequency. So, just have that
function do updates. You should also declare x, y, and z as globals in that
function so that the reassignment of those arrays persist properly.
Your list comprehension prior to concatenating uses a variable "x", which
is likely causing the current error that you see. Change that name to
something else.
Lastly, I implore you to use "set_data()" like in the original example,
rather than calling plot() repeatedly.
Cheers!

Hi,
I was able to get past the error, and I am now trying to add a
callback to receive values from a queue, add it to the existing poly
line, and render the same using matplotlib. The code snippet is shown
below:
=== BEGIN ===
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
import sys
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
def update_line(num, x, y, z, l):
 print x, y, z
 l, = ax.plot(x, y, z, label='Line')
 return l,
def on_connect(client, userdata, flags, rc):
 print("Connected with result code "+str(rc))
 client.subscribe("hello/world")
def on_message(client, userdata, msg):
 data = msg.payload
 print(msg.topic+" "+str(msg.payload))
 point = np.asarray([float(x) for x in data.split()])
 print point
 x=np.concatenate((x,[point[0]]))
 y=np.concatenate((y,[point[1]]))
 z=np.concatenate((z,[point[2]]))
 l, = ax.plot(x, y, z, label='Line')
 return l,
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.set_xlabel('X')
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_zlabel('Z')
x = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
print type(x)
y = np.array([4.0, 7.0, 8.0])
z = np.array([6.0, 9.0, 5.0])
l, = ax.plot(x, y, z, label='Line')
ax.legend()
client = mqtt.Client()
client.on_connect = on_connect
client.on_message = on_message
client.connect_async("localhost", 1883, 60)
client.loop_start()
line_ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, update_line, 25, fargs=(x, y,
z, l), interval=2000, blit=True)
plt.show()
=== END ===
I now hit the following error:

Is there a better way to re-render the plot after receiving data?
Thanks!
