matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

dear all,
I want to build a 5X3 subplots matrix that I want the xaxis is shared only
on the same column and yaxis shared only on the same row.
While using plt.subplots(5,3,sharex=True, sharey=True) will put all
subplots as both shared xaxis and yaxis.
The other option is to do like this to create 2X2 subplots with desired
feature, Yet I guess doing the same for 5X3 subplots could be tedious?
Does anyone has some idea?
 fig=figure()
ax1=fig.add_subplot(221)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(222,sharey=ax1)
ax3=fig.add_subplot(223,sharex=ax1)
ax4=fig.add_subplot(224,sharex=ax2,sharey=ax3)
Thanks a lot et cheers,
Chao

Saurav,
Currently, there is no way to do what you want in v1.1.x. However, I do
think it is a reasonable feature request and you should file an issue
ticket on the github website.

Adjust the position of your 'axes' rectangle, e. g.
from pylab import *
x=linspace(0,4*pi,500); y=sin(x)
*axes([0.05,0.05,0.93,0.92])*
plot(x,y); show()
the details will depend on the size of your labels.

Hi,
I would often save figures after show() from the savefig button on the 
navigation toolbar. I would like to trim white spaces using something 
akin to bbox_inches='tight', but haven't been able to figure out how. I 
tried adding the following to matplotlibrc, but to no avail:
savefig.bbox_inches : tight
The error message is that savefig.bbox_inches is a bad key
Could someone let me know how to do this, if it can be done? I am using 
Matplotlib 1.1.0
Thanks,
Saurav

Right, I forgot about that. I am trying to dig through my code to figure
out what I did to make this problem go away. In the meantime, does hitting
"ESC" at least get you around the problem?

Hi all,
I am currently trying to use matplotlib with wxPython and all is going well except for one annoying issue that I can't figure out. 
I initialize a wxcanvas object with a figure and then throughout the life of the program I want the canvas' figure to change and display the corresponding plot. I can get the change of figure, but when the program goes to plot, the figure isn't the right size. It changes to the right size only when I manually resize the figure (see attached images). Is there some command that I am missing? This is the update sequence I am using:
self.figure = figure
 
 self.canvas.figure.clear()
 self.canvas.figure = self.figure
 self.canvas.draw()
 self.color_background()
 
 #self.GetParent().Layout()
 #self.SetSizer(self.main_sizer)
 #self.Fit()
 self.SendSizeEvent()
As you can tell from the comments (there are more in my code), I have tried a variety of ways to update the figure off the bat.
Thanks!

Hi everybody,
The following is a small test yielding a segmentation fault with PySide, but 
not with PyQt4.
To test with PyQt4, use:
$ python example.py
To test with PySide:
$ python example.py pyside
With PySide, a segmentation fault appears as soon as the mouse cursor is 
hovering the plot area. Without the NavigationToolbar (try to comment the 
corresponding lines), the problem does not appear. It may be related to the 
display of mouse coordinates in the NavigationToolbar, because when the mouse 
is hovering the NavigationToolbar, no segfault appears.
These are the versions of Qt, PySide, and Matplotlib on my machine:
>>> from PySide import QtCore
>>> QtCore.qVersion()
'4.8.1'
>>> from PySide import __version__
>>> __version__
'1.1.0'
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__
'1.1.1rc'
Is this a bug? If yes, does any workaround exist?
Thanks in advance,
TP
