No, I'm still baffled. If you stack 3 subplots vertically in a figure 6
inches high, they are going to be small. You can fiddle with their
sizes a bit by using subplots_adjust, but they are still going to be
small--less than 2 inches high. What physical dimensions do you want,
when you say you want the plot to be "scaled bigger"?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] making subplots more square
hi eric,
i tried your suggestion but it still did not work. here's a code snippet
that demonstrates what i am trying to do:
import matplotlib.pyplot as
plt
from scipy import
*
my_fig = plt.figure(figsize=(7,6),
dpi=100)
plot_ax1 =
plt.subplot(3,1,1)
a =
rand(100)
b = rand(100) +
rand()
plt.scatter(a,
b)
plot_ax1.set(xticklabels=[])
plot_ax1.set_aspect('equal',
adjustable='box')
plt.savefig('myplot.pdf')
when i run this, i get a small square scatter plot in the middle of the
page. i want this plot to be scaled to be bigger. if i remove the
set_aspect() call, the plot becomes bigger in the horizontal direction, and
is rectangular.
any ideas how to fix this? thanks again.

Any way around? > > Thanks..John Cary It is not expected in that I do not know why the connection was broken (did it once exits, do you expect X connectivity in your build environment?). I am not sure why the X connection was broken, whether you wanted it, or whether you wanted it to persist. mpl can be built w/o an X connection, but not all of the mpl backends can. Details on all of the mpl backends can be found here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends A plain vanilla mpl install which can generate PS, PDF, SVG and PNG should be buildable w/o an X connection. You can copy the setup.cfg.template file which lives alongside setup.py to setup.cfg and edit it to turn off optional GUI backend building. But if you want an mpl install that works with one or more GUIs, you may need an X connnection. That is because mpl tries to import one or more GUI toolkits at build time to see if they are present as part of an auto-configure routine. If they are present, we try and build our extensions for them. So, for example, when we try and import pygtk to see if we should build our gtk extensions, an X connection is made. You might be able to work around this by explicitly stating in setup.cfg which backends you want to build, turning off all non-essential ones.

Maybe what you are looking for is
p1.set_aspect('equal', adjustable='datalim')
It is not clear from your message, but try the modification above and
see if it does what you want.

[Matplotlib-users] making subplots more square
hi all,
i have a series of subplots organized in a column (3x1). i noticed that if i
plot them then matplotlib tends to make the x-axis long and the y-axis
short, so the plot is really rectangular. how can i make it more square? if
i do:
f = figure(figsize=(7,6), dpi=100)
p1 = subplot(3,1,1)
plot()
# make axes square
p1.set_aspect('equal')
p2 = subplot(3,1,2)
plot()
p2.set_aspect('equal')
# etc for third subplot...
then the subplots i get are square, but very small and squished compared to
the space they have in the figure (ie what i set in figsize.) how can i fix
this? i just want to have square axes, but have each subplot take up as much
space as it would if i didnt set square axes... it works fine for the
rectangular axes case.

[Matplotlib-users] x= / y= labels default format is wrong
Hello all, I routinely work with images sizes > [1000,1000]. There is a slight annoying problem whatever the backend I use: Pixels coordinates default format is wrong. It does not make sense to display "x=1.42e+03,y=1.92e+03". Pixels coordinates should be formated *by default* as integers. Would it be possible to fix that? Steps to reproduce: import numpy import pylab a=numpy.random.random((2000,2000)) pylab.imshow(a,interpolation='Nearest') Xavier -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

[Matplotlib-users] LineCollection and fill....
Hi guys, I' m playing around with line collections, and I was wondering if it was possible to use fill with line collections? or maybe I would have to use PolyCollection? would it represents a big challenge to include that in Linecollection? (just to know if I could do it myself eventually) on a not completely related note... is there a sweet spot when LineCollection is faster than multiple over plots?...I'm plotting 1300 lines of 3000 points each...and the overplot solution is still faster (though using 2 or 3 times memory) J. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/LineCollection-and-fill-tp23693305p23693305.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
