[Matplotlib-users] twinx doesn't keep xticks parameters

2008-01-17 Thread Lionel Roubeyrie
Hi,
all is in the subject:
#
ax=axes()
setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=30, fontsize=14)
twinx()

It's not really a problem because we can manually modify the xticks, but it 
would be great if it was done automatically.
Cheers

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Is Gtk draw() slow?

 Ah -- just thought of something else.

 If I adjust simple_plot_fps.py to have 100,000 data points rather than
 1,000 I see something that starts to match with what you're seeing:

 GtkAgg:
 wallclock: 4.23297405243
 user: 3.33
 fps: 23.6240522057

 Gtk:
 wallclock: 15.0203828812
 user: 14.92

 TkAgg:
 wallclock: 4.8252530098
 user: 4.67
 fps: 20.7243018754

 You can see that the Gtk time is starting to explode.  If I go to
 1,000,000 points, Gtk runs out of memory before the first plot, whereas
 the other two continue to chug along at a reasonable pace.

  From looking at the code, I suspect the crucial difference is that the
 Gdk backend uses the Python sequence API (rather slow) to access the
 data as it gets rendered, whereas GtkAgg uses the numpy array interface
 which is essentially raw access to a C array.
 
 This is not likely to be the culprit -- for drawing markers, the old
 matplotlib API made a separate call to draw_polygon for every marker,
 with a new gc each time.  Many moons ago, we implemented draw_markers
 as a renderer method to avoid this problem.  For hundreds of thousands
 of markers, we saw performance benefits of 25x to 100x.  The backends
 which implement draw_markers (Agg and PS) get the benefits, but the
 other backends which did not are still slow. Basically it is a problem
 with a lot of redundant function call overhead.   The backend_bases
 renderer method _draw_markers discusses this a little bit (it is
 underscore hidden).

Markers are not the issue here.  These benchmarks were done with lines. 
  There are markers for the ticks, of course, but the number of those 
are fixed.  I agree it's function call overhead, but I believe it's in 
the overhead of PySequence_GetItem vs. array[index].  In both cases, the 
line is still getting drawn with a single Python - C function call.

 My guess is this difference will not be so pronounced on the trunk.

Actually, I'm getting surprising results there.  Numbers are in fps.

Gtk GtkAgg  
0.91.2, 1000 points 50  26
0.91.2, 1 points6   23
trunk, 1000 points  38  31
trunk, 1 points 3   9

So, yes, the ratio between Gtk and GtkAgg on the trunk is not as 
pronounced.  I'm a little disappointed by the timings on the trunk -- 
while one could say that Agg is a little better on the trunk with 1000 
points, it doesn't scale nearly as well.  That's certainly something to 
look into -- and I don't have any thoughts offhand.  I would expect the 
trunk to do better since it doesn't perform a memory copy on the data 
with each call to draw_line/draw_path.

Mike

 That was true before the array interface, when supporting arrays 
 essentially meant a dependency on numpy. That's not longer true, so it's 
 quite likely that the pygtk folks would accept a patch -- someone still 
 would need to write that patch, though!

Unless I misunderstand, I thought that functionality was slated for 
inclusion in Python 3.0 -- still a long ways off in terms of adoption 
rate.  That patch would only make sense on a pygtk branch specifically 
intended for Python 3.0.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] TrueType font embedding in eps problem.

2008-01-17 Thread Michael Droettboom
There was a change between 0.90 to 0.91 as to how the TrueType to Type 
42 (which is essentially a thin wrapper around a TrueType font) 
conversion is done.  In 0.90 it was done in Python -- in 0.91 when font 
subsetting was added, this conversion is done in some borrowed C code 
called ttconv.  That's just a guess as to what may be the specific 
cause.  I don't have a copy of Illustrator, so I haven't done any 
testing with that.  I'm happy to hear of a positive report from Rob. 
Perhaps you both (Rob and Jordan) are using different versions of 
Illustrator?

Note that ps.useafm essentially overrides the ps.fonttype setting.  If 
ps.useafm is True, you will always only get one of the 14 builtin 
Postscript fonts, which are not embedded in the file because all 
Postscript interpreters are required to support them.  If ps.useafm is 
False, then the other setting kicks in.  Type 42 essentially includes 
the whole Truetype font somewhat verbatim in the Ps file.  Type 3 will 
include only the used characters, using a format that is more native to 
Postscript.

All of them *should* be able to be editable on a purely theoretical 
level, though I would imagine Type 3 to be broken if you try to add a 
character that wasn't embedded in the file.  (This is different from how 
matplotlib does SVG font embedding where the original text really is 
lost).  But I don't really know what Illustrator's abilities and 
limitations are in that regard.

Hopefully Rob's suggestions will work for you.  Otherwise, I may want to 
revisit pulling the old Type 42 code back out of SVN to see if that 
solves your problem.  A good place to start might be if you could send 
me (off list) two eps files of the same plot -- one created with 0.90.1, 
and one with 0.91.2.

Mike

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Cross hair and polygon drawing tools.

2008-01-17 Thread Rob Hetland


I do this sort of stuff all of the time.  I have a tool that is  
interactive, making a polygon that you can edit (similar to  
poly_editor in the examples), that is linked to the polygeom class  
below, but it is broken in the new transforms release of the code.


poly_editor is also broken, by the way.  You can't insert a point  
anymore.


For now, you can use these simpler tools:

 If you have hold=True, and the x or y scale is log, repeated calls to plot()

 instead False, one might reasonably expect that future calls to plot would 
 replace the old line with the new one, again without changing the scaling. 
 That would be consistent. Instead, the scaling changes.

That indeed is a problem.  I suspect it has something to do with the 
extra step that log scales do to round to the nearest decade.  I can 
have a look when I get a chance, or let me know if you'd like to tackle 
it, Darren.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] multiline mlath text

2008-01-17 Thread Michael Droettboom
There is no way to insert newlines in the mathtext part of the string 
(by that I mean between the '$').  However, you can put newline 
characters outside of '$'.  It gets a bit hairy because of Python's 
string escaping rules, but you could do something like:

   $\\alpha=%G$\n$\\beta=%G$

Note the double \\ where we really want a backslash, since we can't use 
raw string literals and write a newline character.

One other caveat: The spacing of the lines doesn't take into account the 
height of the math expression, so you can really only do simple 
one-liners (i.e. no fractions or exponents) in the math expression. 
Your example looks like it will work though.

This is really sort of unsupported and my example works only by 
accident...  it's something I didn't think about while re-writing 
mathtext recently.  Hopefully this can be improved in a future version 
-- I can see it as being generally useful.

Also -- for others on the list: Is there a TeX or LaTeX standard for 
putting newlines in the middle of a math expression that perhaps we 
should support?  All the Googling I've been able to do basically assumes 
that layout such as that would occur in a layer outside of the math 
expression (with the exception of typesetting things like matrices).

Cheers,
Mike

[Matplotlib-users] colorbar label every level

2008-01-17 Thread James Boyle
I am using the colorbar with a discrete set of intervals, the  
progression through the levels is not linear.
Presently, the colorbar call labels every other level, this looks  
very nice,  but unfortunately in my case one cannot infer the value  
of the unlabeled levels due to the non-linear scale.
Is there any easy way to force a label for every level ?
I am aware of the ticker - Locator, Formatter mechanism but I am  
looking for a very simple solution. If not I'll just do it.

Thanks for any help.

Perhaps one of the biggest is mathtext.  Real unicode fonts with  
mathematics.  Since you do what I do, sort of, I am guessing that you  
might be happy with the same configuration I use.  I looks great, and  
can be edited in Illustrator (et al.).

I really like Arev Sans, but others like the new STIX fonts.  This  
setup is for Arev Sans.  The important stuff is what begins with  
mathtext.  If you want serif fonts, this should be enough to get you  
started on customizing.  Just make sure whatever fontset you pick has  
all of the math symbols built in, or change fallback_to_cm to True.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] multiline mlath text

2008-01-17 Thread Darren Dale
I dont think newlines are supported this way in tex. Here's an example:

\documentclass[]{article}

\begin{document}

$a=e^{i\pi}\\x=y$

$$a=e^{i\pi}\\x=y$$

\begin{eqnarray}
a  =  \frac{e^{i\pi}}{e^{-i\pi}} \\
   =  e^{i2\pi}
\end{eqnarray}


\end{document}

The first treats the newline as if it occurred in regular text mode, the 
second ignores the newline entirely, and the third is intelligent enough to 
do what it should.

 There is no way to insert newlines in the mathtext part of the string
 (by that I mean between the '$').  However, you can put newline
 characters outside of '$'.  It gets a bit hairy because of Python's
 string escaping rules, but you could do something like:

$\\alpha=%G$\n$\\beta=%G$

 Note the double \\ where we really want a backslash, since we can't use
 raw string literals and write a newline character.

 One other caveat: The spacing of the lines doesn't take into account the
 height of the math expression, so you can really only do simple
 one-liners (i.e. no fractions or exponents) in the math expression.
 Your example looks like it will work though.

 This is really sort of unsupported and my example works only by
 accident...  it's something I didn't think about while re-writing
 mathtext recently.  Hopefully this can be improved in a future version
 -- I can see it as being generally useful.

 Also -- for others on the list: Is there a TeX or LaTeX standard for
 putting newlines in the middle of a math expression that perhaps we
 should support?  All the Googling I've been able to do basically assumes
 that layout such as that would occur in a layer outside of the math
 expression (with the exception of typesetting things like matrices).

 Cheers,
 Mike

 Hi,
 
  I want to display the values of some variable (namely, alpha, beta,
  gamma, delta) on a plot, and making a legend  like
  $ \alpha=%G, \  \bet=%G, \ \gamma=%G, \ \delta=%G $ % values is not
  very readable.
  Is there away to make multiline mathtext ?
 
 
  thanks

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Cross hair and polygon drawing tools.

2008-01-17 Thread Venkat Ramanan
Hi all,

Thanks for the helpful responses.

I had switched back to Matlab, meanwhile.

lasso_demo.py does look close to what I had wanted to implement. 
Earlier, while checking it out, I must have right-clicked first and 
after that it didn't seem to work ( perhaps a bug? ).

I'll look in to Rob's solution as well, once I upgrade to the latest 
release.

Thanks,
Venkat.

 quite effective.
   
 matplotlib implements these algorithms in C -- see
 matplotlib.nxutils.pnpoly for a testing inclusion of a single point,
 and matplotlib.nxutils.points_inside_poly for testing multiple points.
  There is some example code using the latter function at
 http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/lasso_demo.py.  Not sure why this
 example is not working for Venkat.
 

 This is probably not the reason for Venkat (I think he said he was using 
 0.87)... but lasso_demo.py is currently broken on the trunk, and working 
 for me in 0.91.2.  I'm looking into it.

 Cheers,
 Mike

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Is Gtk draw() slow?

2008-01-17 Thread Michael Droettboom
All very helpful information.  Thanks.

This is probably something to move to the pygtk list.  Personally, I don't 
consider it a high priority since the Gdk backend is limited in a number of 
other ways.  Maybe someone more motivated (who uses X remotely, for instance) 
wants to take the charge.  It would probably benefit more than just mpl.

Cheers,
Mike

When I converted my matplotlibrc to the settings you listed, the result 
was pages and pages of exception tracebacks ending in:

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mathtext.py in _get_font(self, 
font)
590 cached_font = self._fonts.get(basename)
591 if cached_font is None:
-- 592font = FT2Font(basename)
593cached_font = self.CachedFont(font)
594self._fonts[basename] = cached_font

If I remove all the LaTeX from my expressions, this error goes away.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Obtaining set_under and set_over colors

2008-01-17 Thread Eric Firing
Carol Leger wrote:
 Hi folks,
 
 Is there a way to get the colors assigned with set_under and set over 
 besides looking at _rgba_set_under and _rgba_set_over?
 
 Sample code fragment:
 from pylab import *
 cmap = cm.get_cmap('jet')
 cmap.set_over('wheat')
 
 # Make some kind of polygon to fill
 x = ...
 y = ...
 # Use the over-the-top color to fill the polygon
 clrstr = rgb2hex(cmap._rgba_over[:3])
 fill(x,y,clrstr)
 

There is no better way at present.  I could add getters for these 
properties if there is sufficient need; it never occurred to me that 
anyone would need getters for them, and I did not want to clutter the API.

Did you resolve the problem you were having earlier with the colorbar 
diplay of the under value?
