There are lots of problems with your code that makes it hard to
understand what you are trying to do. Let's get some terminology
straight by way of commenting your code, then maybe you can describe
what you really want to do
def fig(x):
 # subplot creates an Axes instance on a regular grid; it will add
 # this Axes to the current Figure, and if no Figure exists, it will
 # create on. If a current Figure exists, and you have already
 # created an Axes in it with subplot(111), this call simply makes
 # the Axes the current Axes. Technically, it creates a Subplot,
 # which is derived from Axes
 s = subplot(111)
 # plot returns a list of Line2D objects, and so the function "fig"
 # is returning a list of lines
 return s.plot(x)
# this call creates a Figure instance
fig = figure(figsize = (6,12))
# add_axes is used to add an Axes to the figure. It expects either an
# Axes instance, or a rectangle determined by [left, bottom, width,
# height]. You are passing it a list of lines, as noted above
fig.add_axes(fig(x1))
fig.add_axes(fig(x2))
# this returns a list of axes
ax1, ax2 = fig.get_axes()
# this sets the rectangle for the first Axes 
ax1.set_position([.125, .5, .75, .4])
OK, now that we have some terminology down and hopefully you can see
why you are failing, I'll try and guess what you want. You want to
add an Axes to the current figure, and have them stacked one above the
other. So on the first call, you basically have subplot(111), and on
the second call, you have two subplots, subplot(211) and subplot(212).
Something like
from pylab import figure, show
def pushax(fig, x):
 n = len(fig.axes)
 for i, ax in enumerate(fig.axes):
 print 'new gemo', n+1,1,i+1
 ax.change_geometry(n+1,1,i+1)
 ax = fig.add_subplot(n+1, 1, n+1)
 ax.plot(x)
fig = figure()
pushax(fig, [1,2,3,4])
pushax(fig, [1,4,9,16])
show()
See also the devel list, where Andrew Straw recently added a "Sizer"
model along the lines of wx sizers for axes placement.
Or I may have misunderstood what you want to do....

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Hi,
I have a function fig(x) that returns a subplot instance,
and I'd like to make a new figure by calling this function twice.
For example:
def fig(x):
 s = subplot(111)
 return s.plot(x)
and i wan't to do something like:
fig = figure(figsize = (6,12))
fig.add_axes(fig(x1))
fig.add_axes(fig(x2))
ax1, ax2 = fig.get_axes()
ax1.set_position([.125, .5, .75, .4])
But it looks like the position is not understood relative to the new figure
size, so it doesn't work.
Should it or is there a better way to do that ?
Thanks,
David

Chris,

+
google "date dateutils" site:http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html
+
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib_examples_0.87.1.zip
And if this is not enough, please be a bit more specific in your request: an 
example of code you typed and better description of wehat you expected would 
do.
Thx
P.

I would like to create a plot axis with major tick labels centered *between*
major tick markers instead below tick markers. If you are viewing this email
with a fixed-width font, it might look something like:
|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|
 LABEL01 LABEL02 LABEL03
Ideally and ambitiously I would like both minor and major labels to be
displayed stacked and boxed like:
|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|
|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|
|____LABEL01____|____LABEL02____|____LABEL03____|
I've been poking around a bit through the examples, the mailing list and the
source code, but haven't quite figured out how to carry out this
customization. So far, I have created my own Locator and Formatter, but I
have yet to figure out where I can calculate the label locations or put
boxes around them.
Your thoughts appreciated,
Alex

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread concerning how to draw 
something such as text at an offset relative to a data point, with the 
offset in screen coordinates so that it stays constant with zooming etc.
The result in svn is a new function in transforms:
def offset_copy(trans, fig=None, x=0, y=0, units='inches'):
 '''
 Return a shallow copy of a transform with an added offset.
 args:
 trans is any transform
 kwargs:
 fig is the current figure; it can be None if units are 'dots'
 x, y give the offset
 units is 'inches', 'points' or 'dots'
 '''
This works for all transformations including polar; an example is given 
in examples/transoffset.py, also in svn.
All transformations now have shallowcopy and deepcopy methods; the 
shallowcopy method is used in offset_copy. The deepcopy methods were 
there all along in _transforms.cpp, with functionality apparently partly 
duplicated in the copy_bbox_transform function in transforms.py. John 
added copy_bbox_transform_shallow to transforms.py as part of this 
thread. I would like to remove it, together with copy_bbox_transform, 
on the grounds that these functions probably have not been used by 
anyone except during the last few days, and their functionality is 
available in a much more general way via the Transformation deepcopy and 
shallowcopy methods.
Any objections?
Thanks.

I'm trying to plot dates using plot_date(), but the date for every
point is labeled on the axis, and in a verbose format, resulting in a
jumble of text making the date-axis completely unreadable. Is there
any way to control the format of the dates displayed, and ensure only
a small percentage of points are labeled on the axis?

For non-interactive pylab, just type "show()" after your code above.
The -pylab option John mentioned is the ideal way to go though.

If so you don't need to import pylab and your figures your should work

I was in the meantime working out something using the suggestion Eric

I looked at this a bit -- the underlying image extension code handles

some time working on an image class that would handle rotations (in

I think you can get the effect you describe using pcolor or pcolormesh; 
the latter is faster but due to a bug it doesn't handle alpha values 
other than 1. You will have to generate arrays with the pixel corners 
(not centers) as you want them to be after your rotation. You will want 
to use the shading='flat' kwarg.

Richard,
in matplotlib/dates.py, change line 155 from
remainder = x - ix
to
remainder = float(x) - ix
The problem is that matplotlib uses numpy arrays for the xaxis. As you have a 
64b system, the arrays are in float64scalars, that divmod doesn't know how to 
process (unless you have a very recent of numpy). The trick above forces a 
downcasting of float64scalar to float32scalar, divmod can now work.

I am doing a buch of plots and I would like to set the dash on/off
list globally (to [2,4]) rather than everytime I run pylab.plot(). Is
there any such thing?
Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to visualize an image after a rotation:
==> this means to view each squared pixels as "rotated" (seen as an
rotated square). I have in fact several images which I need to plot on
the same figure (with subplot), each of these having different "rotation
angles".
The rough solution would be to rotate the data itself (x and y) and use
imshow after some rebinning on a squared grid. But this would not be
showing the original data, which is what I wish to do.
Is it possible to do this in mpl?
thanks!

I changed it in svn 2636; now Axes.autoscale_view() preserves axis 
direction. I think this will be generally useful and will cause less 
user surprise than the previous behavior.
Eric

Nick,
svn 2635 has a fix for this bug.

Nick,
Thanks for the bug report. I have been making some changes to use 
numerix more consistently internally, and fixing this bug would be a 
step in that direction. I will take a look.

Richard,
in matplotlib/dates.py, change line 155 from
remainder = x - ix
to
remainder = float(x) - ix
The problem is that matplotlib uses numpy arrays for the xaxis. As you have a 
64b system, the arrays are in float64scalars, that divmod doesn't know how to 
process (unless you have a very recent of numpy). The trick above forces a 
downcasting of float64scalar to float32scalar, divmod can now work.

The font encoding doesn't match the encoding you're using. Using
unicode strings, e.g. u"\u00e4" for ä, may work better, assuming of
course that the font does have the characters you need and that the
backend implements unicode text.

It can't find tk.h so it looks like you need to install the tk dev packages.
