If you try to open a non-existent file in "r+" mode in C you should get an
error, too. The following C code
FILE * f;
int i;
char filename[100];
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
sprintf(filename, "foo%d.dat", i);
FILE * f = fopen(filename, "w");
/* write stuff to file */
...
fclose(f);
}
translates into this piece of Python:
for i in range(10):
filename = "foo%d.dat" % i
with open(filename, "w") as f:
# write stuff to file
...

Re: [Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots
You were opening the file for reading, rather than writing. It
therefore was expecting to find a file.
Change
fo = open('fname','r+')
to
fo = open('fname','w')

Re: [Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots
Putting "w" instead of "r+" probably solves the problem. The error is not
showing now.

Re: [Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots
for t in range(0,200):
fname = 'file_' + str(t)
So it will assign fname values file_0, file_1 so on. Dropping the quotes is
giving me
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'file_0'
Indeed the file is not present. In C we write,if we have to record data in
a file
FILE *fp
fp = fopen("file.dat","w")
Here I want to write different data sets in files having different name i.e
I want to create the files with the data sets. I am quite new to Python, so
you can assume zero knowledge while answering. Thanks for your support. :)

You are trying to open a file named literally "fname" due to putting it in
quotes, you probably want to drop the quotes.

Hi Amit,

Re: [Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. 1. Yes. This is exactly what I wanted. Creating a bunch of data sets and then writing script to plot them using gnuplot, but if something can produce directly 'plots' it will certainly be helpful. 2. Yes. By stitching them up I meant an animation.Sorry for the ambiguity. Exactly how we can do it Octave. Pls see this link: http://www.krizka.net/2009/11/06/creating-animations-with-octave/ I think Python is THE language, which may come to an immediate rescue.

It certainly is. Are you talking about the file names being file_1001.txt, file_1002.txt and so on? If yes, let's say your parameter values are stored in param. Then something like this would do the trick: param_values = [1000,1001, 1005, 2001] for param in param_values: fname = 'file_' + str(param) # write to file fname # # Sorry if its different from what you are looking for. But yes, its certainly possible. > > 2) Is it possible to plot the data sets right from Python itself and save > the plots in different jpeg files to stitched upon later on. It is possible to generate plots and save each as JPEGs. [1]. What do you mean by stitching together?

[Tutor] HELP: Creating animation from multiple plots
Dear All, I am a newbie to Python but have a fair know how of other languages i.e C etc. I want to run an astrophysical simulation in Python. All I have to do it to generate a set of 'plots' depending on a varying parameter and then stitch them up. 1) Is it possible to automatically generate different data files( say in the orders of 1000) with different names depending on a parameter? 2) Is it possible to plot the data sets right from Python itself and save the plots in different jpeg files to stitched upon later on. Awaiting your reply. Thank you in advance.
