matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Finally found a solution for this -- actually just tried solution from
Piter_ <x....@gm...> in his post -- deleted fontList.cache and it
works. That is, just doing
rcParams['font.family'] = 'Times New Roman'
gives me that font as the default.

Yes, setting annotation_clip=False did fix it. I will try to send a minimal 
example. ATM, my example is not at all minimal, but I suspect that you can 
easily reproduce this with any plot where the x axis is set so that the 
rightmost point is on the edge of the graph, and annotation is set to right 
justified (which should make the annotation visible, within the bounds of the 
plot)

Hi
> Could you post the version number:
my version is '0.99.3'
It looks like after deleting fontList.cache file everything works.
But I got another question.
Why I don't get warnings even if I try font like "fadslkhflkjdvhsdlfvfdls".
Thanks in advance.

I've already made a wxpython based solution to plot real-time data on plots
(using matplotlib). Basically there is a timer for redrawing data (that is
appended to by another thread), and when it redraws it does:
timestamp = time.time()
# add to x, y datasets
self.timestamps.append(timestamp)
self.vehicle_speeds.append(self.monitor_data_api.get_vehicle_speed())
# update plot bounds
self.axes_vehicle_speed.set_xbound(lower=(timestamp - 10.0),
upper=timestamp)
self.axes_vehicle_speed.set_ybound(lower=min(self.vehicle_speeds),
upper=max(self.vehicle_speeds))
# add data
self.plot_data_vehicle_speed.set_xdata(np.array(self.timestamps))
self.plot_data_vehicle_speed.set_ydata(np.array(self.vehicle_speeds))
However how do I add another y dataset to the same plot
"self.axes_vehicle_speed" in say blue?
I know about the common methods as outlined in:
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/MultilinePlots
However they will not work for live plotting. Any ideas?

Hi.
Thank for the reply.
I use debian stable with matplotlib and python from debian repository,
emacs python mode.
I had a look on the topic here
http://old.nabble.com/how-to-use-different-font-for-serif-td32905458.html
I don't have any warning messages.
Have no clue there to look further
:(

I can't reproduce this issue, but there was a recent thread about this
exact same issue<http://old.nabble.com/how-to-use-different-font-for-serif-td32905458.html>,
so apparently this is not a fluke of your system configuration. Since I
can't reproduce this issue, I probably won't be of much help, but some
specifics of your install might help others diagnose this issue. What
version of Matplotlib are you running?
Best,

Hi all.
I want to use "Times New Roman" font for my pictures.
Searching the list I have found this solution:
__________________
....
pylab.rc('font', family='serif')
pylab.rc('font', serif='Times New Roman')
pylab.rc('text', usetex='false')
......
____________________
yl=pylab.ylabel(r'Difference extinction coeffitient, ($M \times
cm^{-1})$',fontsize=8)
xl=pylab.xlabel("Wavelength, (nm)", fontsize=8)
However it still does not use Times new roman.
>>> yl.get_fontname()
'DejaVu Serif'
>>> xl.get_fontname()
'DejaVu Serif'
>>>
