[matplotlib-devel] Updates to transforms.py
Hello all, As part of my process for updating mplot3d, I realized that transforms.py needed to be revamped first. In many places in transforms.py, there were unnecessary 2-D assumptions that needed to be removed or generalized. I have started this effort here: https://github.com/WeatherGod/matplotlib/compare/master...test%2Fmplot3d-ndtransforms I still have more to do in this file, but this version passes the unit tests, and I would welcome any comments and thoughts. Part of the efforts have been trying to shoehorn n-d positional arguments into various function signatures. For example: def foo(self, x, y) : pass becomes def foo(self, x, y, *args) : pass In some places, like shrunk_to_aspect(), I decided that I would just allow the operation to continue for just the first two dims. In other places, I tried to allow for mis-matches of dimensions with reasonable defaults (e.g., shrunk()). My main problem in pushing forward right now is that there are functions that have signatures like the following: def foo(self, x, y, ignorex=True, ignorey=True) : pass Unfortunately, it is not until py3k that we can utilize keyword-only arguments that would allow us to place a positional argument in between the *y* and the *ignorex*, and we would run the risk of breaking function calls like "foo(x, y, False, False)" which is valid now. Therefore, I are going to need to introduce some new functions to transforms.py that would allow n-d arguments and deprecate the problematic functions. Anyway, this is my progress so far. I would welcome any input, thoughts, concerns and such. Thanks, Ben Root -- Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.

[matplotlib-devel] Simple animation test
Hi, I am trying to do a simple animation examples similar to the one here: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations#head-e50abcca4333d3d76b3f2bb66ef00f15c6b4dbbc But it does not work. I have tried with different backends, plain python, within ipython. I am using ipython 0.10 and matplotlib 0.99.3 from EPD. I have used this approach in the past, but no luck this time. If I add a show() early on, the first plot shows OK, but it sits and waits until I close the plot window before moving on. Any ideas? Cheers, Brian -- Brian E.

If you are running mpl from the development tree on github, I suggest you use the new animations API, which hides much of the complexity. See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/examples/animation If you are running a released mpl, you can simply drop the animation.py file into your PYTHONPATH and use it directly https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/animation.py Hope this helps, JDH -- Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.

[matplotlib-devel] Problems with new PyQt4 API
Hi list,
I'm using matplotlib as a library, in a program using the
new APIs of PyQt4, which will be the normal APIs for
Python 3. Unfortunately, the matplotlib Qt4 backend is
not compatible with this new API.
The problems are easy to fix: first QFileDialog.getSaveFileName
has changed, and is to be replaced with
QFileDialog.getSaveFileNameAndFilter, for example with the following
patch:
---
--- backend_qt4.py 2011-03-02 16:17:19.526831397 +0100

+fname = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(
+self, "Choose a filename to save to", start, filters,
selectedFilter)
if fname:
try:
self.canvas.print_figure( unicode(fname) )

secondly, QString is used in the new formlayout, wich can be avoided
using yet another patch, that I actually once filed as Path #3081405
in the matplotlib patch tracker.

[matplotlib-devel] pick_event problems
Hello all,
I've been working on some interactive graphs and have run into several problems
with the pick_event feature:
(1) If a Figure Legend is made draggable() and then dropped onto an
AxesSubplot,
it can no longer be dragged
(2) Any lines associated with the left axis of a twinx() subplot are unable to
be picked
(3) Hidden lines can be picked (seems like an undesirable feature). Try
picking
on the top subplot at y=1 for a hidden line.
I know #2 has http://old.nabble.com/onpick-on-a-2-y-plot-%28-via-twinx%28%29-%29-seems-to-only-allow-picking-of-second-axes%27s-artists-td25049128.html";>caused
problems for others, with less than elegant solutions given.
Here's the code showing what is currently broken (as of v1.0.0):
#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib as mpl
import pylab
# <-- Insert code to fix problem here
def on_pick(event):
if isinstance(event.artist, mpl.legend.Legend):
print 'Picked Legend'
else:
print 'Picked', event.artist.get_label(), event.ind
fig = pylab.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(211)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(212)
ax3 = ax2.twinx()
# Top subplot
ax.plot(range(10), range(10), c='r', marker='^', picker=5, label='Ramp')
line, = ax.plot(range(10), [1]*10, c='k', marker='o', picker=5, label='Hidden')
line.set_visible(False)
# Bottom subplot
legn_handles = []
legn_labels = []
line = ax2.plot(range(10), [1,3,1,3,0,3,1,3,1,3], c='b', marker='o', picker=5,
label='Teeth')
legn_handles.append(line)
legn_labels.append('Teeth')
ax2.set_ylim(0, 4)
ax2.set_ylabel('Left side', color='b')
line = ax3.plot(range(10), [1,1,1,1,4,4,4,4,4,4], c='m', marker='.', picker=5,
label='Shelf')
legn_handles.append(line)
legn_labels.append('Shelf')
ax3.set_ylim(0, 5)
ax3.set_ylabel('Right side', color='m')
# Subplot Legend for top plot
legn = ax.legend()
legn.draggable()
# Figure Legend
legn = fig.legend(legn_handles, legn_labels, 'lower right')
legn.draggable()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', on_pick)
pylab.show()
#
I've found a decent workaround, but it involves some very fundamental changes
to the way picking is resolved in the Figure and Axes classes. If you add the
following code to the spot indicated for the fix, everything works correctly.
# Fix for pick_event problems
def axes_pick(self, *args):
if len(args)>1:
raise DeprecationWarning('New pick API implemented -- '
'see API_CHANGES in the src distribution')
mouseevent = args[0]
if not self.in_axes(mouseevent):
return
for a in self.get_children():
if not a.get_visible():
continue
a.pick(mouseevent)
mpl.axes.Axes.pick = axes_pick
def figure_pick(self, mouseevent):
for a in self.get_children():
if not a.get_visible():
continue
a.pick(mouseevent)
mpl.figure.Figure.pick = figure_pick
To compare the differences, you need to look at the artist.Artist.pick()
method. It only calls pick() for children whose axes==mouseevent.inaxes or
when
inaxes is None (to handle the Legend). But this fails when the Legend is
dragged over a Subplot (inaxes no longer None), causing bug #1. Also,
mouseevent.inaxes only contains a single axes instance, which causes a failure
for overlapping twinx() axes, hence bug #2. And of course there is no check
for
hidden artists (#3).
My change calls pick() for every child of the Figure or Subplot, but then has
the Subplot check whether the mouseevent is in its own axes space. This seems
to fix all the problems, but could potentially cause new bugs. Any thoughts?
I'm new to the mailing list, so I'm not sure how patches get applied and how
much testing needs to be done for a change like this.
Thanks,
Jim

Martin,
Thank you for letting us know about continuing issues with PyQT4. First, I
think your patches are "backwards", per se. Can you double-check that they
are what you mean? Also, which version of matplotlib did you patch
against? I know that we recently made a fix involving QString:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/fa82c5adcc1493ec705728e4beb806cb4c84579f
I see we probably still need to fix the backend, but is everything else in
order?

I can run the example on that page without issues using the development version of mpl, GTKAgg, and python 2.6. There might be some other possibilities to consider. For example, if you are working in the pylab mode and you have multiple figures and/or axes, the draw() command might be going to the wrong figure because draw() operates on whichever figure would be returned by gcf() (I believe).

The old method is subject to the problems you're encountering now because you're working outside the GUI's event loop. The new method was created to be "dead simple" and yet work reliably.

The main issue I have is that I am working with undergraduate students who have no experience installing things from scratch. In this context I am stuck with whatever is in EPD. Currently EPD is at 1.0.1, which does not have animation. Will this file "just work" with 1.0.1 or 0.99.3? I don't have any aversion to using animation.py, I just need to be able to use it within a stock recent EPD.

If you are running mpl from the development tree on github, I suggest you use the new animations API, which hides much of the complexity. See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/examples/animation If you are running a released mpl, you can simply drop the animation.py file into your PYTHONPATH and use it directly https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/animation.py Hope this helps, JDH >>> >>> I don't think that is necessarily true.

With EPD and mpl 1.0.1, the new API should work if you drop animation.py into your site-packages, eg as mpl_animation.py,and import it like import mpl_animation as animation Then later they can just change this to import matplotlib.animation as animation Let us know if you have any troubles with this approach. I've attached a double pendulum example which is fun, and illustrates how to animate multiple objects, a line instance for the pendulum and a text instance for the time counter.

I trust you're going to check in that completely awesome example. Brian, if you're still adverse to using an external module (I understand), 1.0.1 does have the new timer infrastructure that will work with the event loop properly. Here's your example converted to taht: from pylab import * def update_line(line): line.set_ydata(sin(x+line.counter/10.0)) # update the data line.counter += 1 draw() if line.counter > 200: return False x = arange(0,2*pi,0.01)# x-array line, = plot(x,sin(x)) line.counter = 0 # Store the counter on the line object # Get the current figure and get it to create a new timer. fig = gcf() timer = fig.canvas.new_timer(interval=50) timer.add_callback(update_line, line) timer.start() show() Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma -- Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
