Jakob: I think that's the price you pay for the speed of pcolormesh (vs 
pcolor). It appears to make more assumptions about the structure of 
your data. I don't see any way around it.

Hi,
sorry that it has taken me so long to reply. Anyway, i could be wrong,
but i don't think that the code:
 xi = np.linspace(llcrnlon,urcrnlon,1000)
 yi = np.linspace(llcrnlat,urcrnlat,1000)
will produce a grid which gives the lat/lon coordinates with 1km
spacing. The reason being is that the distance between 2 lons (say
-117.731659 and -91.303642) is different depending on where you are in
terms of the latitude (i.e. the extreme examples are of course the north
pole vs the equator). So the above gives a regular grid in terms of
degrees but not in terms of distance.
Anyway, but the example was still helpful in terms of getting me started
with the griddata issue. In my experience the mlab.griddate fcn did not
work as well as the scipy.griddata (but that could be a user error as
well ... ). Not sure why though. It might be the size of my source data
and the destination grid. I had to upgrade to the 64-bit python to be
able to access enough memory.
thanks

The histogram() function is merely a convenience function that performs both
the histogramming calculation and calls bar() under the hood. Bar charts
are capable of being stacked using the "bottom" kwarg:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/bar_stacked.html
As for numbers with the bars:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/barchart_demo.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/barchart_demo2.html
I hope this helps!

yves,
This might depend on the version of matplotlib and which backend you are
using. I currently do not see this white line on my development build of
mpl using the GTKAgg backend. What are you using?
Ben Root

Dear List,
when I'm saving a plot with the option facecolor='k',
around my image, there is still a one pixel white border.
How is it possible to remove this ?
try for example this very simple script:
(using )
import pylab as pt
from numpy import *
x = arange(0,10)
y = x**2
pt.plot(x,y)
pt.savefig('qq.png',facecolor='k')
Thanks in advance.

Dear List,
how is it possible to change the color of the ticks of a colorbar,
created using :
cb = mpl.colorbar.ColorbarBase(ax, 
cmap=cmap,norm=norm,orientation='horizontal',format=formatter)
Thanks in advance !

Picking up on an old thread. Hopefully Jeff is still listening in...

What if it _is_ a satellite swath? Can I get around the problem of
off-projection plotting with Basemap.pcolormesh()?
Example code and plots can be found at

my understanding is that the clipping is done with a "closed" path. so
I don't think one can do such thing as horizontal clipping, etc. I
guess one way is to simply increase the size of the clipping box
toward the direction you want. Here is a simple example,
Regards,
-JJ
x = np.arange(0, 8, 0.01)
y = np.sin(x)
ax = subplot(111)
l1, = plot(x, y, lw=4)
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms
bbox_ = mtransforms.Bbox.from_bounds(0, 0, 1., 1 + 0.1) # increase the height
bbox = mtransforms.TransformedBbox(bbox_, ax.transAxes)
l1.set_clip_box(bbox)
