matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

hi,
i am looking for help in using matplotlib inside a graphical IDE in mac osx
and preferabley even ipython with matplotlib inside an IDE. i am used to
interact with the python interpreter (inside ipython, even inside
ipython-inside-emacs) while several plot windows are open, but i don't have
any success using a graphical IDE.
i tried free IDEs (eric3, eric4) and commercial ones (komodo, wing ide) but
all had the same problem: the debugger was blocked as long as the matplotlib
window was open. i focussed on QtAgg since eric uses Qt, but i also tried
TkAgg.
does anyone have a suggestion what i might be doing wrong?
thanks,
 kilian

To do that you need to use the axes command (a subplot is just a
special case of an axes on a regular grid). For example, you could do
(the arguments are left, bottom, width, height)
axes([0.1, 0.7, 0.4, 0.25])
axes([0.55, 0.7, 0.4, 0.25])
axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.85, 0.55])
or some variant like that..

That means too that having a plot on 2/3 of the screen is not possible, I
suppose ?

Only if this subplots overlap -- in this case they do not. When a
previous subplot is overlapped by a new subplot, the old one is
erased.

That should be what I asked for. Won't the other subplots be erased ?

Although I am not completely sure what you are asking, I think you are
asking for:
subplot(221)
subplot(222)
subplot(212)
then the last subplot (bottom row) will span both columns.

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to create a plot on several subplots. For
instance :
pl.subplot(2, 2, 1)
pl.plot(y1)
pl.sublot(2, 2, 2)
pl.plot(y2)
pl.subplot(2, 2, ???) # Create a plot on the last line
plot(y3)
Is it possible ?

Hello,
I am making an image using imshow, and adding xticks and xlabel, and then 
saving it with savefig. I'm supplying the xticks on a list as they have 
custom names. On the output file, I get the xlabel cutoff. I can only see 
the top of it. I tryed changing a number of things but none worked. How to 
deal with this?
Thanks,

This makes more sense than len(). I've got confused by "length" :)
