Re: [Matplotlib-users] Making a data-driven colormap
Hi -
I ended up with the code below, using Chloe's previously posted
'subcolormap' and, in order to make the colorbar nicely attached to the main
imshow plot, I use make_axes_locatable in order to generate the colorbar
axes. I tried it out with a couple of use-cases and it seems to do what it
is supposed to, (with ticks only for the edges of the range of the data and
0, if that is within that range), but I am not entirely sure. Do you think
it works?
Cheers,
Ariel
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable
fig=plt.figure()
ax_im = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
divider = make_axes_locatable(ax_im)
ax_cb = divider.new_vertical(size="20%", pad=0.2, pack_start=True)
fig.add_axes(ax_cb)
#Extract the minimum and maximum values for scaling of the
colormap/colorbar:
max_val = np.max(m[np.where(m<1)])
min_val = np.min(m)
#This makes sure that 0 is always the center of the colormap:
if min_val<-max_val:
ax_max = -min_val
ax_min = min_val
else:
ax_max = max_val
ax_min = -max_val
#Keyword args to imshow:
kw = {'origin': 'upper',
'interpolation': 'nearest',
'cmap':cmap,
'vmin':ax_min,
'vmax':ax_max}
im=ax_im.imshow(m,**kw)
#The following produces the colorbar and sets the ticks
if colorbar:
delta = ax_max-ax_min #The size of the entire interval of data
min_p = (min_val-ax_min)/delta
max_p = (max_val-ax_min)/delta
print min_p
print max_p
cnorm = mpl.colors.Normalize(vmin=min_val,vmax=max_val)
subcmap = subcolormap(min_p,max_p,cmap)
cb = mpl.colorbar.ColorbarBase(ax_cb, cmap=subcmap,
orientation='horizontal',norm=cnorm)
#Set the ticks - if 0 is in the interval of values, set that, as
well
#as the maximal and minimal values:
if min_val<0:
cb.set_ticks([min_val,0,max_val])
cb.set_ticklabels(['%.2f'%min_val,'0','%.2f'%max_val])
#Otherwise - only set the minimal and maximal value:
else:
cb.set_ticks([min_val,max_val])
cb.set_ticklabels(['%.2f'%min_val,'%.2f'%max_val])

Solved. Sort of. If I run using python it works. It fails if I run using
ipython with --pylab.

[Matplotlib-users] Is scatter method's linestyles keyword argument being ignored (in SVN)?
Hi, When using scatter plotting method and linestyles argument the output seems to ignore the linestyles keyword value at least in SVN. Can someone confirm this or did I misunderstood the functionality? I am trying to make a plot where the colour of the line changes as a function of data value, but I don't want that each point (marker) is plotted separately, but that the colour changes smoothly. I believe scatter method could be used when optional arguments "c = values" and linestyles = 'solid' are used. However, independent what the linestyles argument value is, I always get the markers plotted and no line appears.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Copying collections over to a new figure
Hi Jae-Joon,
Thanks for your quick reply! Since for example LineCollections can be created
independent of the Axes in which they are going to be plotted through the
creation of a LineCollection instance, would it not be possible to have a
method that allows one to retrieve an Axes-independent LineCollection from an
Axes instance? (for example a get_collection method) This would then allow one
to 'recycle' existing collections.
Cheers,
Thomas

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Copying collections over to a new figure
As far as I can say, moving around artists from one axes to the other
is NOT recommended. And I encourage you to create separate artists for
each axes rather than try to reuse the existing ones.
For your particular example,
fig = mpl.figure()
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
for c in ax1.collections:
c._transOffset=ax2.transData
ax2.add_collection(c)
should work.

[Matplotlib-users] Copying collections over to a new figure
Hello,
In the following example, I am trying to copy over existing collections from
one plot to another:
import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl
fig = mpl.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax1.scatter([0.5],[0.5])
fig.savefig('test1.png')
fig = mpl.figure()
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
for c in ax1.collections:
ax2.add_collection(c)
fig.savefig('test2.png')
However, the circle appears in the wrong place in test2.png (close to 0.4, 0.4
instead of 0.5,0.5). Is it not possible/safe to copy over collections in this
way? If not, then how should this be done?
Thanks,
Thomas

The ColorbarBase simply makes a strip of colored blocks, with their sizes and locations determined by the boundaries kwarg (together with the "spacing" kwarg) and their colors determined from the values kwarg via color mapping. If either or both of these kwargs is None, the boundaries and/or values will be generated in _process_values. The use of the non-default values kwarg is illustrated by the special-case handling of colorbars for contouring in the Colorbar class.

[Matplotlib-users] MacOS 10.6 install dependency building fails (r8214)
Hello, It looks like the zlib website removes previous version of its library that were previously available for download, so the part in make.osx where http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz is fetched now fails (since the current version is 1.2.4). The error in the matplotlib building is not explicit enough (incorrect archive type) - maybe one could catch such 404s and print out an error suggesting to increase the ZLIBVERSION variable? I tried changing ZLIBVERSION to 1.2.4 and the following occurs when building zlib: ... gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -I/Users/tom/install/include -I/Users/tom/install/include/freetype2 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -c -o inftrees.o inftrees.c gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -I/Users/tom/install/include -I/Users/tom/install/include/freetype2 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -c -o trees.o trees.c gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -I/Users/tom/install/include -I/Users/tom/install/include/freetype2 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -c -o uncompr.o uncompr.c gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -I/Users/tom/install/include -I/Users/tom/install/include/freetype2 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -c -o zutil.o zutil.c make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libz.dylib', needed by `install-libs'.

Btw, can you tell me what the *values* kwarg's semantic is? I guess, it shall be the center values of the values displayed, but then the implementation for this in ColorbarBase._process_values() would be broken.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Making a data-driven colormap
I once had a similar issue. I solved it like this. It takes the minimum and
maximum of the data and returns a colormap: Zero: White, Positive values:
blue, Negative values: red.
def mxcmap(_min,_max):
if _min >= 0 and _max >= 0:
cdict = {'red': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0)),
'green': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0)),
'blue': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0))}
elif _min <= 0 and _max <= 0:
cdict = {'red': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)),
'green': ((0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)),
'blue': ((0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0))}
else:
full_red = 1
full_blue = 1
if -_min > _max:
full_blue = -float(_max)/_min
else:
full_red = -float(_min)/_max
zero = 0.5-((_max+_min)/2.)/(_max-_min)
cdict = {'red': ((0.0, 1.0, 1.0),
(zero, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1-full_blue, 1-full_blue)),
'green': ((0.0, 1-full_red, 1-full_red),
(zero, 1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1-full_blue, 1-full_blue)),
'blue': ((0.0, 1-full_red, 1-full_red),
(zero,1.0, 1.0),
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0))}
return
pylab.matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap('my_colormap',cdict,256)

[Matplotlib-users] matshow / imshow with date-axis
Hi, is it possible to perform a surface plot a NxM matrix with date-axes? Similar to plot_date for 1D-Plots. The dates are available as an N-sized (or M-sized) array of float values. At the moment, I am using imshow or matshow for the color plots, but the only way I found to manipulate the axes is the 'extent' keyword argument, which is not sufficient in this context. Any hints?

Hi, I'm not really sure I get your point, but you can try to play with the placement of the used subplot ``axes(rect)`` where *rect* = [left, bottom, width, height] in normalized (0, 1) units. e.g. ax = plt.axes([0.1, 0.2, 0.8, 0.6]) and with the kwargs of imshow (extent: limits of the picture and aspect : [ None | 'auto' | 'equal' | scalar ] ) e.g. a = np.arange(35).reshape(7, 5) ax.imshow(a, interpolation='nearest', extent=(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), aspect='auto', origin='lower') Kind regards, Matthias -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
