Is the list of return values from the clabel() function supposed to represent the position and orientation of the contour labels? I have a script below where I try to re-draw the contour labels using the Text objects in the list returned from clabel(), and they do not line up in my output. I'm using Matplotlib version 0.98.5.1, revision 6622.
If this is intentional, is there some way of retrieving the actual position/orientation of the contour labels? I'm trying to make a drop-shadow effect for those labels, and I need to know where they are exactly for my code to work. Sample script: #!/usr/bin/env python import matplotlib import numpy as np import matplotlib.cm as cm import matplotlib.mlab as mlab import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import math matplotlib.rcParams['xtick.direction'] = 'out' matplotlib.rcParams['ytick.direction'] = 'out' delta = 0.025 x = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta) y = np.arange(-2.0, 2.0, delta) X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y) Z1 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0) Z2 = mlab.bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1) # difference of Gaussians Z = 10.0 * (Z2 - Z1) f=plt.figure(facecolor='g') ax = plt.gca() ax.set_axis_bgcolor('g') CS = plt.contour(X, Y, Z) xt = plt.xticks() yt = plt.yticks() fontsize = 10 fontdict2 = {'fontweight':'light', 'color': 'r', 'fontsize':fontsize} labels = plt.clabel(CS, inline=1, fontsize=fontsize,colors='k') for label in labels: ltext = label.get_text() lrot = label.get_rotation() lx,ly = label.get_position() plt.text(lx,ly,ltext,fontdict2,rotation=lrot) plt.savefig('output.png') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
