[Matplotlib-users] Path object where different vertices use different transforms?
Is it possible to specify a path object that will use different transforms for different vertices? This is again related to plotting a box whose height is specified by data coords, but whose width is a constant in axes coords regardless of scale (so linear and log x-scales would produce a box of the same width). Ideally, I would draw a path like this: 1. the center of the box would be located at x and bottom and top would be y1, y2, all in data coords 2. I would move to (x,y1) at the bottom-center of the box. 3. The x value would now need to be converted to Axes coords, possibly by applying transData + transAxes.inverted 4. I would want to draw a line to (x-0.1, y1) where x is now in axes coords and y is still in data coords. Then up, then right, then down, and then close the polygon. How do I implement this? As I mentioned before, a blended transform would allow me to make the moves i am interested in. However, a change of scale would change the correspondence between data and axes coords, so the axes transform part of the blended axes would have to be recomputed everytime the scale changes based on where the (x,y1) point lands in the axes. Is this correct? Any suggestions are welcome...thanks!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Update a contour plot
Hi Ralph, I don't think there exists a function like the line-'set_data'-method for collections, which are generated by 'contour'. This particular method of lines only changes the data but leave anything else unchanged. I attached an easy approach of updating a contour plot (simply deleting old collections), but I'm not sure that this is the best solution.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] [Numpy-discussion] glumpy: fast OpenGL numpy visualization + matplotlib integration
Well, I've been starting working on a pyglet backend but it is currently painfully slow mainly because I do not know enough of the matplotlib internal machinery to really benefit from it. In the case of glumpy, the use of texture object for representing 2d arrays is a real speed boost since interpolation/colormap/heightmap is made on the GPU. Concerning matplotlib examples, the use of glumpy should be actually two lines of code: from pylab import * from glumpy import imshow, show but I did not package it this way yet (that is easy however). I guess the main question is whether people are interested in glumpy to have a quick dirty debug tool on top of matplotlib or whether they prefer a full fledged and fast pyglet/OpenGL backend (which is really harder).

[Matplotlib-users] Plot Updating Strangeness
Hello, I want to dynamically update a plot of the rate at which a neural network is learning a function. Ideally, my python program would open up a window and update the plot inside of it after every training epoch. I have written the following code to do so: pyplot.title('Learning Curve') pyplot.xlabel('Epoch #') pyplot.ylabel('Success rate (%)') pyplot.plot(range(1, len(rates)+1), rates, 'r-') pyplot.draw() Note that I am also calling pyplot.ion() at the start of the program. This *mostly* works. However, I run into a strange issue. If the figure window is minimized/hidden, when I open it up, nothing shows up in it (the content is only grey). The plot will appear only if the window is maximized/visible when the plotting occurs. If I again minimize the window after the plot was drawn, it goes back to being gray. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plot-Updating-Strangeness-tp25648628p25648628.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Come build with us!

This said, locator = SecondLocator(interval=20) par2.xaxis.set_major_locator(locator) par2.xaxis.set_major_formatter(DateFormatter('%H:%M:%S')) satisfies my initial thoughts. With some pan and zoom I can achieve what I want. Attaching the final modified file. I think this is a good demonstrative example. It is up to you further put the script into the axes_grid examples. Thanks again for your efforts. There is still issues with this approach. First and foremost it is very slow when the arrays plotted are big (in my case ~8000 points.) AutoDateLocator() works fast, however on some zoomings the top axis is filled with labels. This needs to be addressed. Could anyone help me to see the flow of the AutoDateLocator() class' updates? It only behaves weird on some certain zooms, put how is this updated on the screen is a mystery to me so far.

[Matplotlib-users] basemap, transform_scalar question
I'm trying to 'automate' a few components within basemap. I have a pretty complicated, and assuredly poorly written, set of functions that allow me to 'dynamically' plot a grid of data (lon,lat). Here is one section where I try to deal with transforming the data based on the projection. 'data' is a grid, often of size 720x360 or 720x180, representing full globe or hemisphere at 0.5 degree resolution. 'outlon0', outlat0', and 'd*out' are the llcrnr coordinates and step. 'transform' is an option, that is set to True by default: 1680 ## set up transformations for the data array 1681 if m.projection not in ['cyl','merc','mill']: 1682 lats = np.arange( outlat0, ( outlat0 + ( numygrid*dyout ) ), dyout )[:-1] 1683 lons = np.arange( outlon0, ( outlon0 + ( numxgrid*dxout ) ), dxout )[:-1] 1684 data = data[:-1,:-1] 1685 else: 1686 lats = np.arange( outlat0, ( outlat0 + ( numygrid*dyout ) ), dyout ) 1687 lons = np.arange( outlon0, ( outlon0 + ( numxgrid*dxout ) ), dxout ) 1688 1689 ## transform to nx x ny regularly spaced native projection grid 1690 if transform: 1691 dx = 2.*np.pi*m.rmajor/len(lons) 1692 nx = int((m.xmax-m.xmin)/dx)+1; ny = int((m.ymax-m.ymin)/dx)+1 1693 if nx is 1: 1694 topodat = data 1695 else: 1696 topodat = m.transform_scalar(data,lons,lats,nx,ny) 1697 else: 1698 topodat = data The problem is, when I use the approach with a 'cyl' grid, then subsequently try to draw the lsmask, I get a failure. Is this approach incorrect? I had to use the if nx is 1 statement because it was crashing with zero division error in some cases.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Path object where different vertices use different transforms?
I don't think the transformations framework is going to be of much help for automating this. You seem to be suggesting an x-axis where the center is in data coords and the width is in axes coords. Once you've added the two together, it will be impossible to separate them. I think the path of least resistance will be for you to create a new artist class and override the draw method, such that you can do all the necessary calculations based on the current values of the axes and data transforms on every draw. There's an example of creating a custom artist in api/line_with_text.py... Then it's just writing a draw method to do what you need to do -- you should be able to get at the axes transformations through self.axes.transAxes and self.axes.transData. I'm a bit busy today to really work that through, but hopefully that's enough to get you started.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Path object where different vertices use different transforms?
If I understand correctly, the top and bottom of the box are in data coordinates, the x-center of the box is in data coordinates, only the width of the box is in axes coordinates. Is that correct? If so, a PolyCollection won't be able to do this (directly), since that would require both the width and height to be in axes coordinates.

I can confirm this with latest svn. I take a quick look at the code, but couldn't figure where the stripping happens and I hope other experts to step in. While I think you're not using usetex mode, you may use tex's own spacing command with usetex mode. Depending on your need, you may also use the annotate function with which you can provide a spacing in pixel coordinate (or other coordinate the annotate supports).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Path object where different vertices use different transforms?
Hi Mike, This is definitely on the right track. Thanks a lot for writing it out. When I change the view limits, indeed the width stays constant while the height gets rescaled.

A vertical line or something like errorbar seems to be more suitable to me. I agree, and if you're a fan of Edward Tufte, then you definitely agree. In his book, he takes the simple Tukey-style boxplot and turns it into a 1-dimension object, in line with the type of data it's representing. However, I still want to implement something that's a bit more traditional, which is why I wanted to pick an arbitrary width for the boxes that stay invariant regardless of the scale that I use. As Mike has explained, the transform trick (blended or not) won't work. The width and y-center will be always transformed with the same transform, which is not what you want. I think you need to create a custom patch class for this to work. One option seems to subclass the Rectangle class and overide the _update_patch_transform method. The patch transform is used to transform a unit rectangle to a rectangle in data coordinate (or whatever coordinate the patch uses), i.e., you need to calculate the coordinate of the box in the data coordinate(or whatever coordinate the patch uses). Could you possibly explain exactly what is going on and how this structurally differs from the approach that Mike posted? In Mike's code, he uses BboxTransformTo using the box he created in display coords.

So basically, whenever MPL wants to draw a patch, does it always call get_path() and then runs it through whatever is returned from get_transform() to get the final shape in display coords? Your understanding is basically right. When plt.draw(or any equivalent) is called, the draw methods of each artists are called. And the draw method of the Patch class, in general, calls the get_path and get_transform, while details can be different. So how does this relate to the strategy that you are advocating? Is _update_patch_transform somehow a synonym for what I described in the paragraph above? I don't know where that fits into the picture. Yes, for the Rectangle class, its get_transform method returns a combined transform of patch_transform + default_artist_transform, where the patch_transform is used to transform the unit rectangle to the data coordinate. So, the basic idea is very similar to Mike's implementation, while Mike's should be more efficient as it transforms the unit rectangle directly to the canvas coordinate. It may be useful to add something to the Working With Tranformations section or the Transformation Tutorial about what is minimally necessary to override for a custom patch. I have been playing around with MPL for some time now (albeit I don't have much computer visualization/graphics experience) and still have only a fuzzy idea of what order things are called in and what the overall strategy/structure of the system is like. Well, right now, I guess the source code is your best tutor (which was and still is for me). You may start with the mpatches.Patch that Mike's MyBox inherit from.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] python script
felix meyenhofer wrote: The package is installed. In the interpreter the 'import matplotlib' does not throw an error. On the other hand I tried to use matplotlib in a python script and here the very same command provokes the following error message: how are you running that script? I supect you are getting a different python. try: $ python TheNameOfTheScript that should get you the same python as you get typig python If you run the script directly: $ ./TheNameOfTheScript it will use the #! line at the top to tell it where to find python. If that line says #!/usr/bin/python you'll probably get a different one. the usual convention is: #!/usr/bin/env python which should get you the same one that you get when you start python at the command line. a few things to try to test all this: $ which python $ python -c import sys; print sys.path $ python -c import sys; print sys.executable putting import sys and print sys.path or print sys.executable at the top of your troublesome script.

[Matplotlib-users] new interface functions for LinearSegmentedColormap
After experimenting with colormaps for a while, I was able to make both discrete (piecewise-constant) and continuous (piecewise-linear) colormaps work. Although colormaps can be created directly using LinearSegmentedColormap from the matplotlib.colors package, this is a tedious and error-prone process. So, I compiled a set of three interface functions. (I wrote two of these myself, and got one from the SciPy website). The two functions that I wrote permit one to define a discrete (piecewise-constant) and continuous (piecewise-linear) colormap directly via a sequence of colors and a set of thresholds specified as lists. Each color may be specified either via an RGB tuple or via an English color name known to webcolors.name_to_rgb. I'm going to submit all of this to the matplotlib developers forums in the hopes of getting it incorporated into matplotlib. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/new-interface-functions-for-LinearSegmentedColormap-tp25657187p25657187.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Come build with us!
