[matplotlib-devel] New plot type--submission questions

2008-01-30 Thread Jordan Dawe
So I have a (slightly) new plot type I would like to add to the matplotlib codebase, and I'd like to ask A) if people would be interested in the patch and B) what the best way to implement it would be. I am currently calling the plot type "pcontourf"--it's essentially a pcolor, but instead of a

Jordan, This sounds useful, but I think it can be implemented without any new plot type, simply by using a different sort of norm to do the colormapping. I need to add this anyway, and I have a prototype. It is very simple. I will get it in within the next few days, and then you can see whe

[matplotlib-devel] bug in Agg backend, positioning of tick labels

2008-01-30 Thread Eric Firing
In the course of answering a question by Alan Isaac, I saved some figures at different dpi values and hit a bug with png output: imshow(rand(100,100)) gcf().savefig('f200.png', dpi=200) This results in tick labels that overlap the image, and it gets worse with higher dpi. PS backend output is

I was just working with a student to do this. It is straightforward (using norms, as Eric suggests), but not short. I think it would be good to include wrappers for creating these norms to MPL. The advantage is then it works for everything: pcolor, scatter, etc. -Rob On Jan 31, 2008, at 1

I noticed this bug last week (and forgot to send it in until now.. I know.. shame on me..). Here is the workaround (responsible for my laziness): figure(dpi=500) # make a figure savefig(dpi=500) That is, as long as the figure and savefig dpi match, it looks alright. Otherwise, the tick lab
