Sorry, I didn't explain the benchmark (which was in an off-list e-mail to Eric.) The "fps" value in these benchmarks is the frames-per-second you get when updating the range of the axes (approximately what to expect from an interactive pan/zoom operation). The "init" time is the time it takes to compute the mesh in the first place and set up the initial plotting state.
So, obviously, if you have a rectilinear mesh, you're much better off using NonUniformImage rather than the more general mesh. [Same results as before, copied for your convenience.] Branch: nonuniformimage: init: 0.27 fps: 21.37 pcolormesh: init: 0.42 fps: 2.61 Trunk: nonuniformimage: init: 0.25 fps: 22.52 pcolormesh: init: 0.28 fps: 6.64 Cheers, Mike william ratcliff wrote: > Michael, > > Have you looked at the speed of zooming in and out with pcolormesh? > > On Nov 9, 2007 3:33 PM, Michael Droettboom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Darren Dale wrote: >>> On Friday 09 November 2007 03:26:12 pm Michael Droettboom wrote: >>>> Eric Firing wrote: >>>>> Mike, >>>>> >>>>> Thank you for once again blasting out such an array of improvements. >>>>> Regarding implementation and API details, such as what should go in >>>>> imshow versus pcolor versus something with another name, I would like to >>>>> review the situation (and your branch) and come up with a >>>>> recommendation, but I can't do it immediately.
