Ok, fair enough. Let's use that:
------------------
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 100000
x = np.random.standard_normal(n)
y = 2.0 + 3.0 * x + 4.0 * np.random.standard_normal(n)
xmin = x.min()
xmax = x.max()
ymin = y.min()
ymax = y.max()
plt.hexbin(x,y, cmap=cm.jet, gridsize=(50,50), extent=[-2,2,-10,10])
plt.axis([xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax])
plt.title("Hexagon binning")
cb = plt.colorbar()
cb.set_label('counts')
plt.show()
----------------------
I trimmed this from the example, which works fine. Without the extent
option, I get the expected plot of all the data. But, what I'd like is to
trim out some of the empty regions. If I just reset xmin, xmax, etc. the
binning of the data still occurs over the entire range of the data in x and
y, although the plot is correct, but the plot doesn't have the desired 50x50
bins. With the "extent" option I get these errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "HexBin.py", line 23, in <module>
plt.hexbin(x,y, cmap=cm.jet, extent=[-2,2,-10,10])
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 1920,
in hexbin
ret = gca().hexbin(*args, **kwargs)

collection.update(kwargs)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 548,
in update
raise AttributeError('Unknown property %s'%k)
AttributeError: Unknown property extent
The same thing as before. It doesn't know what 'extent' is for some reason.
Or, perhaps more accurately, hexbin knows what it is but artist.py doesn't?
The only "solution" i've come up with is to trim the original data that I
input, but that is far from ideal.
Best,
Alex
