matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I ran the attached python program under Ubuntu and Windows2000 with
different results. I expect the results to be similar.
Running under Ubuntu works great, and as expected.
Running under Windows2000 does not work well. Specifically, it works for
awhile, but then stops working and opens a small window with title:
wxPython: stdout/stderr, with many messages ultimately ending with the
root issue - Cannot_Open_Resource, Could not open facefile, in
_get_agg_font at line 301 of backend_agg.py.
On Windows2000 it runs for about 1 minute, then stops working and starts
delivering this series of error messages.
On Ubuntu, I can run it all day with no problems.
It might be easiest if you simply run the program under Linux and under
Windows and see if you note the same difference.
To run the program, maximize to expose the buttons and slider. Press
Start - you should see the plot flip back-and-forth between sin and cos
every 1 second. Move the slider to adjust the speed of flip.
I know that this program could be laid out better, etc - and that is not
my issue; this program is just a quick check of the capabilities of
matplotlib plot updates. I am interested in supporting real-time
plotting using matplotlib within a wxPython GUI. So, maybe you could
suggest an alternative way to write this program that works well on
Windows.
[More fundamentally, this program should work equivalently on Windows
and Linux. This may be a wxWidgets issue however, i.e. perhaps it
involves how graphical resources are obtained/available/reclaimed from
the underlying graphics subsystem of the OS. Perhaps the reclaim is much
more efficient under Linux and I need to do some explicit resource
reclaim under Windows (?).]
BTW, if you are interested, I can clean this snippet up a little and
maybe you would want to include it in your examples, as it demonstrates
another aspect of matplotlib use that may be of general interest (?). Of
course, it should first also work under Windows :).
Thanks for any replies.

Dear matplotlib colleagues,
I am very new to matplotlib but I have been able to generate the plots I ne=
ed; however, I am having trouble annotating a plot with an arrow. Could you=
 help me with the syntax? Here is the code I am using:
ax.annotate('sol 9',xy=3D(xMinorLocs[9],0.5),xytext=3D(xMinorLocs[9],0.8),a=
rrowprops=3Ddict(width=3D1, frac=3D0.1, headwidth=3D5, facecolor=3D'black')=
) =20
when I do that, I get a 'ZeroDivisionError: float division'
As a test, I tried the command without the arrowprops:
ax.annotate('sol 9',xy=3D(xMinorLocs[9],0.5),xytext=3D(xMinorLocs[9],0.8))
and I didn't get any errors and the label was plotted (no arrow) at the rig=
ht location. How can I get the arrow to show up?
Any help you can provide would be really appreciated.
Thanks and happy Holidays!

Evan: Sometime next week probably, If you have svn installed, you can 
get the latest version that way.

Thank you Jeff. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH works fine as a quick test, though
that leads me to the "ImportError: No module named pkg_resources" problem
that the other recent posters had. I'll either try setuptools or wait for
0.9.9 to come out - will it be long?

Evan: I think this is a LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem. There are two 
possible workarounds:
1) set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include 
/usr/local/lib, i.e.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
2) edit setup.py and make the following change
currents_nbp:(basemap_svn)$ svn diff
Index: setup.py
===================================================================
--- setup.py (revision 4791)

extensions.append(Extension("matplotlib.toolkits.basemap._geod",deps+['src/_geod.c'],include_dirs

-extensions.append(Extension("_geos",['src/_geos.c'],library_dirs=geos_library_dirs,include_dirs=geos_include_dirs,libraries=['geos_c','geos']))

then rebuild. As Eric Firing pointed out to me, adding 
runtime_library_dirs negates the need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually. 
This is already done in svn, and so 0.9.9 will not require manually 
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
HTH,

Hi Johann,
I believe the scipy optimization package gives a variety of 
optimization algorithms but you would have to implement your own 
codes to fix/thaw parameters. That being said, there is a lot there 
and I haven't dug into all of it into detail. I would suggest posting 
a message to the scipy mailing list after the holidays and you may 
get a better response.
Cheers,
Jessica

Hi all,
Just updated basemap from 0.9.4 to 0.9.8 on Mandriva Linux 2008. I also
installed basemap-data-fullres-0.9.7. I've noticed there's a couple of
recent posts about problems (on Macs) with 0.9.8, the solution being to
install setuptools until 0.9.9 comes along; the problem I have is similar to
the posts but not the same, so I'd like to check here before proceeding with
setuptools.
I installed the included geos-2.2.3, then basemap-0.9.8, then
basemap-data-fullres-0.9.7. However when I now import basemap I get:
In [1]: from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap

Hello,
I would like to make a plot showing data points and a line, where the
legend contains a single point for the data points, and a small line
segment for the line. However, with numpoints = 1, the line is not
shown, as can be seen in the attached figure numpoints1.png. The second
attached figure, desired_legend.png, shows how I would like the legend
to look. I have also attached a simple script that demonstrates the
problem with numpoints=1.
Is there any way to create the legend as I would like it?
Thank you,
Paul

I have developed a plotter software using "WXAgg". ( matplotlib 0.90.1)
It works fine on Windows, but I found some problems on Linux about printing.
Printing problems on Red Hat Linux 5 or Fedra Core 6
 1. You cannot set orientation to LANDSCAPE, it seems "SetOrientation" does 
not work.
 2. When you set LANDSCAPE manually, only lower half part will be printed.
 3. Printing quality is far much worse than Windows's printing.
Please try my simple sample program as below.

 self.canvas= FigCanvas(self, -1, self.fig)
 self.axes = self.fig.add_axes([0.15,0.15,0.75,0.75])

hi jessica, thanks.... So scipy.optmizer as it stands cannot do that? I 
gues I should move the issue to the scipy list then. Yes there is mpfit, 
there is also pyminuit in google.code that is wrapper of the high energy 
physics standard package MINUIT, etc.... but I would think that fitting 
data, with fixed/thawed parameters, is a basic feature of a scientific 
package. As there seems to be a snergy between matplotlib and scipy, I 
would expect the latter to take care of optimization....
thanks for the replies,
Johann

John,
Yes, thank you. That did the trick. I did setuptools. I guess 
EasyInstall is another package build on that.

Tony: There is a hidden dependency on the setuptools module in basemap 
0.9.8. This will be fixed in 0.9.9, but in the meantime you can just 
install setuptools (http://python.org/pypi/setuptools).

It looks like you need to install setuptools:

Is there a new version of this which uses numpy instead of Numeric? I found
the old Numeric version to work very well.

I tried to install basemap 0.9.8 on an OS X system (PPC, 10.4.10), 
after installing matplotlib from the latest binary package (0.91.1). 
I receive the following error:

It seems that the dap package did not completely install. Is there a 
directory I should add to my sys.path? Thanks for your help!

Hi Johann,
I would recommend using the python mpfit module:

Thanks for the bug report. This is now fixed in svn. I suspect similar
bugs may lurk in a few other axes methods; I have not checked for them.

I found an errorbar with transform option does not work properly.
When you use transform option, only X-Y trace shifts, but not errorbar.
See my sample program below.
The matlotlib version is 0.90.1, though it seems the latest 0.91.1 ends up 
same.
I want to plot some overlay traces with errorbar.
Can anybody help me?

Do you mean something like this?
ii = (oX > -x1) & (oX < x2)
jj = (oY > -y1) & (oY > y2)
pcolormesh(oX[ii], oY[jj], test[jj,][:,ii])
This assumes your oX and oY are 1-D, so you are plotting rectangular 
mesh. Correct?
Eric

I have a pcolormest and a fill that are plotted on the same graph (they hav=
e
the same scale). Is there an easy way
to only plot the values of pcolormesh that lie in the fill?
pcolormesh(oX, oY, test, shading=3D'flat', cmap=3Dcm.gray_r)
fill([-x1,x2,x2,-x1], [-y1,-y1,y2,y2], 'b', alpha=3D0.2, edgecolor=3D'r')

Adam: It only works with 2.2.3. I have not been able to make it work

Hi
Will basemap work with the newly released GEOS-3.0.0, or does it only
work with 2.2.3 for now?
