[Matplotlib-users] Running matplotlib job with cron
I've written my first python script with matplotlib, which works fine at the
command line but not with cron. It's quite puzzling to me, and probably
involves some path declaration that I don't know about.

Without the extent option, I get the expected plot of all the data. But,
what I'd like is to trim out some of the empty regions. If I just reset
xmin, xmax, etc. the binning of the data still occurs over the entire range
of the data in x and y, although the plot is correct, but the plot doesn't
have the desired 50x50 bins. With the extent option I get these errors:

The same thing as before. It doesn't know what 'extent' is for some reason.
Or, perhaps more accurately, hexbin knows what it is but artist.py doesn't?
The only solution i've come up with is to trim the original data that I
input, but that is far from ideal.

I've been having fun using hexbin, but I'd like to have consistent bin

You'll want to use the Agg backend, since the GtkAgg backend will try to
open a window (which isn't generally possible from a cron job).
Put:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use['Agg']
at the top of your script.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Running matplotlib job with cron
Hi Sandro, There is no image output when the script is run from cron. I think that is what you are asking. I thought about updating matplotlib but at this point don't want to change versions unless all else fails. Im running Mandriva 2008.1 and it's a lot of work. Is there a more detailed way I can debug to find out where the failure is?

#plot data from automate.csv
import matplotlib
Right here you should include:
matplotlib.use('Agg')
Without this, you are loading the interactive graphical backend, gtkagg.
I don't know whether this is causing the problem with running under
cron, but it is worth changing anyway.
I don't know why your debug output file is stopping after the first
fontManager line.
What does your crontab file look like? I think this is more a cron
problem than an mpl problem. Cron tends to run things in a very
different environment than one has when running from the command line,
and it is common--at least in my own experience--to have this sort of
problem with things that work on the command line and not from cron.
Attached is a crontab file that we use in this manner. Note that we set
the shell to /bin/bash; otherwise cron will use the most minimal shell
version. Second, note that before executing the script, we execute a
file that sets up the environment to be similar to what we have when
logged in normally. Third, the redirection of stdout and stderr to a
log file facilitates debugging, allowing you to see the result of
debugging print statements as well as any exceptions or other error
messages.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Running matplotlib job with cron
Paul
Eric's attachment was missing.
This is the crontab we use, which he described:
- we use bash
- the file config/bash_env has most of what is usually in .bashrc;
for cron we source it, for shell we source it in .bashrc
- daily.py --use_defaults is the command that we want to run
- don't forget that early inclusion of
matplotlib.use('Agg')
## here is the relevant part of crontab
# m h dom mon dow command

[Matplotlib-users] Stopping Legend From Overlapping the Graph
How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at all with the graph? The docs for the legend() loc parameter only seem to specify where *on* the graph you want it to show, which is driving me nuts because even using best, it usually hides some of my data. I want to see *all* of my graph, as well as the legend. Is there any way to do this with pylab? Any help is appreciated. Chris -- ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
Re: [Matplotlib-users] Stopping Legend From Overlapping the Graph
The linked page below shows how you put the legend above the graph. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/plotting/legend.html#legend-location You can put it below the axes by adjusting the bbox_to_anchor parameter. Try something like bbox_to_anchor=(0., -0.1, 1., -0.1), loc=1 Make sure to adjust the suplot parameter (or axes location) to make enough room for the legend. -JJ On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Chris Spencerchriss...@gmail.com wrote: How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at all with the graph? The docs for the legend() loc parameter only seem to specify where *on* the graph you want it to show, which is driving me nuts because even using best, it usually hides some of my data. I want to see *all* of my graph, as well as the legend. Is there any way to do this with pylab? Any help is appreciated.
