Hello, I've recently been working with matplotlib to create some charts of some data I've gathered. I've been impressed with how easy it is to use, but I have a few questions. I'd appreciate any help you can offer me with the following:
1. Just what does axes() do with pie charts, anyway? I've tried varying the parameters, but haven't quite grasped what it's for. 2. How do I make the pie of the pie chart smaller, leaving more room for the labels? Consider http://www.ethicsgirls.com/stuff/report/cameras_used.png (which I may well move to a bar chart anyway). Some of the labels are clipped at the sides. What's the best way to avoid this? 3. When plotting a chart with plot(), can I vary the alpha value of the markers? If so, how? 4. I need to stick a footnote in the bottom corner of my charts. Can I do this natively in matplotlib or will I have to do it with a separate library afterwards? 5. Can I have my xtick labels oriented vertically? I'm trying to avoid an X axis that looks like this: http://www.ethicsgirls.com/stuff/report/date_taken.png Thanks, -- Alex Pounds (Creature) .~. http://www.alexpounds.com/ /V\ http://www.ethicsgirls.com/ // \\ "Variables won't; Constants aren't" /( )\ ^`~'^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
