The easiest way is to check out the SVN / git repo, make the changes and 
create a patch according to the instructuins here:

[Matplotlib-users] Masks

2010-02-17 Thread David Arnold
All,

In the code on:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/bbox_intersect.html

I think I've figured out that:

vertices = (np.random.random((4, 2))-0.5)*6.0
vertices = np.ma.masked_array(vertices, [[False, False], [True, True], 
[False, False], [False, False]])

prevents the second of four random vertices from being used. But I'm not sure 
why

plot(vertices[:, 0], vertices[:, 1], color=color)

seems to connect only two points for a line segment.

Can someone explain?

D.

[Matplotlib-users] set_scientific(False) doesn't do anything.

2010-02-17 Thread cuddihyd

Hi -- According to what I've read in the docs, the following code should
render a graph with the Y-Axis NOT in scientific-mode. However this isn't
the case. What am I failing to understand?

import matplotlib.pylab as pylab
pylab.figure()
yfmt = pylab.gca().yaxis.get_major_formatter()
yfmt.set_scientific(False)
pylab.draw()
pylab.plot([110100,110102,110100,110103])
pylab.show()

...I'm running on Ubuntu Intrepid. matplotlib.__version__ reports 0.98.3  

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

L is working for me both for Qt4Agg and WXAgg.

For some reason I can't make "f" key toggling the fullscreen. It does
nothing -no error messages and no life sign. Any confirmation?

Lastly, I know "s" behaviour is also being discussed in another thread, and
I have seen with WXAgg it raises a not implemented error. I think "s" could
simply bring the save dialogue instead of showing those messages. What do
you think?

Offhand, I suspect this would be the best solution at present, if the 
only problem now is that you want the ticklabels written differently. 
Try using the "format" kwarg of the colorbar, supplying either a format 
string or a formatter.

Something like this (untested):

from matplotlib.ticker import LogFormatter

class LogFormatterHB(LogFormatter):
 def __call__(self, v, pos=None):
 vv = self._base ** v
 return LogFormatter.__call__(self, vv, pos)

...

cbar = colorbar( ... ,  format=LogFormatterHB())

[Matplotlib-users] hexbin log bins and colorbar

2010-02-17 Thread Jan Strube
Dear matplotters,
encouraged from the excellent response times to my last problem, I am trying
to explore more features of matplotlib.

My current problem is with hexbin.
I have been using numpy.histogram2d and imshow so far for 2d histograms, but
I must admit that hexbin looks quite pretty.

In order to emphasize small differences over a large scale, I am using
hexbin with the bins='log' option.
The result is very nice, but when I add a pyplot.colorbar(), I would like to
have the original number of entries on the ticks, not their log10.

Ideally, I'd change the yaxis of the colorbar to a logscale, and use
numpy.power(10, yaxis_values) on it.
I think colorbar().ax.set_yscale('log') should do what I need for the first
part, but how do I get the original number of entries back, rather than
their log10.
I could cheat and simply replace each ticklabel with 10^ticklabel, but I
don't even know how to do that.

Thanks for any pointers,
Cheers,
Jan

Wow. This is really useful and perhaps, should be placed in a wiki
somewhere.  Is this a common enough task to warrant a method?

   ax.xaxis.repad_ticks(20)

Being unfamiliar with the Tick class, I wouldn't have expected that it
would have been necessary to reassign label1 (after setting the pad
size).

Hey mattias,

I just committed this to svn HEAD.  I tested the L key on WXAgg, TkAgg
and Qt4Agg and it is working on all but WXAgg.  Some wx expert may
want to look and make sure that the shifted keys are getting properly
recognized on wx.

As for the docs in mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst, the language
is sphinx and restructured text

  http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html

It looks like you got it right by following the pattern.  This is the
document used to generate the mpl html and pdf documentation, eg

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/navigation_toolbar.html

Hi John,

thanks a lot for taking the time to go through this patch. I tried to 
incorporate you remarks and attached a new patch. 
The most difficult task is about the 
documentation 'mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst', because I'm not sure 
what is needed and I not familiar with the used programming language.

[Matplotlib-users] Plot visual representation of wavelet decomposition

2010-02-17 Thread Thorsten Kranz
Hi,

I have the following problem: I do a wavelet decomposition on a
signal, sampled at 1 kHz. When I take 1024 datapoints I get
coefficients cD1, cD2, cD3, ... , cD10, cA10, where the 512 cD1
coefficients correspond to the frequencies 250-500 Hz, the next 256
cD2 coefficients are from the 125-250Hz band and so on.

I would now like to do a color coded plot of these coefficients,
x-axis is time, y-axis is frequency, with colors for each coefficient
in it's own area, i.e. the first cD1 must be from 0 to 2 ms and from
250 to 500 Hz, the first cD2 is from 0 to 4 ms, filling 125 to 250 Hz
and so on...

How can I do this in python? I could use imshow of course, but how is
the easiest way to prepare one 1024 x 250? array that hold the
coefficients just like this? Thank you for your help.

Thorsten

[Matplotlib-users] Break in X-Axis

2010-02-17 Thread mogliii

Hi,

I am currently learning metplotlib to make beautiful figures for a LaTeX
thesis.

I will need to have graphs with a break in the x-axis, comparable to this
one
http://www.originlab.com/www/Products/images/Date_Axis_plot_with_XY_break_500px.png

As I found out, there is no native support for this. So I fiddled around a
lot and came up with the following solutions.

Please take this as a starting point if you happen to have the same
intensions with matplotlib.
Also I am happy for any input from more experienced users.

The code:

#@ begin
from matplotlib import rc
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

y = np.loadtxt('532_0.1_10.txt')

fig_width_pt = 400  # Get this from LaTeX using \showthe\columnwidth
inches_per_pt = 1.0/72.27   # Convert pt to inches
golden_mean = (np.sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio
fig_width = fig_width_pt*inches_per_pt  # width in inches
fig_height =fig_width*golden_mean   # height in inches
fig_size = [fig_width,fig_height]

rc('font',**{'family':'serif','serif':['Computer Modern Roman']})
params = {'backend': 'ps',
  'axes.labelsize': 10,
  'text.fontsize': 10,
  'legend.fontsize': 8,
  'xtick.labelsize': 8,
  'ytick.labelsize': 8,
  'text.usetex': True,
  'figure.figsize': fig_size,
  'axes.unicode_minus': True}
matplotlib.rcParams.update(params)

# setup figure with specified size
fig = plt.figure(figsize=fig_size)
width = 0.44 # width of the two subplots
spacing = 0.025/2 # spacing between subplots

if 1: # left subplot
ax1 = plt.axes([0.08,0.15,width,0.8])
for loc, spine in ax1.spines.iteritems():
if loc in ['right']:
spine.set_color('none')
else:
spine.set_position(('outward',0))
plt.plot(zip(*y)[0], zip(*y)[1])
ax1.set_xlim(740,820)
plt.xticks([750,800])

if 1: #right subplot with shared y-axis
ax2 = plt.axes([0.08+width+spacing,0.15,width,0.8], sharey=ax1)
for loc, spine in ax2.spines.iteritems():
if loc in ['left', 'right']:
spine.set_color('none')
else:
spine.set_position(('outward',0))
plt.plot(zip(*y)[0], zip(*y)[1])
ax2.set_xlim(930, 1010)
ax2.set_xticks([950,1000])
ax2.set_yticks([])
ax2.set_ylim(0, 11000)  # after second plot

if 1: # axes labels and break lines
ax3 = plt.axes([0.08,0.15,2*width+0.025/2,0.8]) # change position to
adjust labels
for loc, spine in ax3.spines.iteritems():
if loc in ['left', 'bottom', 'top']:
spine.set_color('none')
else:
spine.set_position(('outward',0))
ax3.set_yticks([])
ax3.set_xticks([])
ax3.set_xlabel(r'Raman shift (cm-1)', labelpad = 25) 
# ax3.xaxis.set_label_coords(0.5,-0.06) #alternative to labelpad
ax3.set_ylabel('Intensity (arb. unit)', labelpad = 10)
ax3.patch.set_facecolor('None') # set background transparent. Must for
.eps!
shift = spacing/2
# the four small lines
line =
matplotlib.lines.Line2D([0.5-0.005-shift,0.5+0.005-shift],[-0.013,0.013],
linewidth=1, color='black', clip_on=False)
ax3.add_line(line) 
line =
matplotlib.lines.Line2D([0.5-0.005+shift,0.5+0.005+shift],[-0.013,0.013],
linewidth=1, color='black', clip_on=False)
ax3.add_line(line) 
line =
matplotlib.lines.Line2D([0.5-0.005-shift,0.5+0.005-shift],[1+-0.013,1+0.013],
linewidth=1, color='black', clip_on=False)
ax3.add_line(line) 
line =
matplotlib.lines.Line2D([0.5-0.005+shift,0.5+0.005+shift],[1+-0.013,1+0.013],
linewidth=1, color='black', clip_on=False)
ax3.add_line(line) 

plt.show()
#plt.savefig('breaktest.png')
# end



And here some explanations:
I decided not to use subplots, but axes instead. I feel this gives more
control, even it involves arithmetics.

So there is one axes (ax1) for the left figure (no right axis)
then another axes (ax2) for the right figure (no left and right axis, sharey
with left figure)
And in the end a transparent axes (ax3) around both (only right axis), which
is used to plot the axis labels and the four small breaklines.

Looks better than Origin ;)

Hi -- these look like useful changes.  In most of matplotlib rc we
have a namespace for the rc keys, so I prefer something like

  keymap.fullscreen : f   # toggling
  keymap.home : h, r, home# home or reset mnemonic

Also, could you include in your patch a diff against

  mpl/doc/users/navigation_toolbar.rst

documenting the changes.

Also, I'm not sure you need

+# to get a common standard we move all keys for each action into a list
+for key in [fullscreen_keys, home_keys, back_keys, forward_keys,
+pan_keys, zoom_keys, save_keys, grid_keys,
+toggle_xscale_keys, toggle_yscale_keys, all]:
+if type(key) is not list:
+key = list(key)
+

If you setup your validate func properly in rcsetup, you can guarantee
that each of these keymap.* entries will be a list of strings, even
those changes interactively from the prompt.  So I suggest changing
each of these key entries to have a validate_stringlist validator and
then you won't need this check.

Thanks,
JDH

Take a look at

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/event_handling/poly_editor.html

You can use the 'i' and 'd' keys to insert and delete vertexes, can
click and drag them to move them.

See also the event handling tutorial at

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/event_handling.html

The base class signature is

def save_figure(self, *args):
'save the current figure'
raise NotImplementedError

But I think the problem is the line

  self.canvas.toolbar.save_figure(self.canvas.toolbar)

it shouldn't be passing the toolbar in, but should just read

  self.canvas.toolbar.save_figure()

We could make both changes -- make sure all the signatures of the
derived classes comply with

 def save_figure(self, *args):

and remove the self.canvas.toolbar argument from the save_figure call.

Michiel, do you want to take the lead on this?

JDH
No?

[Matplotlib-users] Interactive use of matplotlib in ipython

2010-02-17 Thread Wolfgang Kerzendorf
Hello,

I would like to build a bit of an interactive fitter with matplotlib and 
ipython (in pylab environment). I would like to have a a function, which takes 
x and y as input, then plots these and fits a line to it (just numpy polyfit). 
if I click a point it will be removed from the fit pool and the line will be 
refitted (optionally after pressing 'f'). when I'm done I can press 'q' or 
close the window and the function will come to an end and spit out the fitting 
parameter. 
I tried this a year or two ago and I had terrible problems with getting 
stopping the event loop and waiting for the interactive part to finish and then 
finish the function. I'm running os 10.6 and use the wx backend (or mac os x, 
if that's easier). Can you point me to an example or give me a crude overview 
of how to do that in the right way. Is that understandable?

Cheers
Wolfgang

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Assigning "k" key for xscaling

2010-02-17 Thread Matthias Michler
Hi list, Hi Gökhan, 

I once more would like to say that I like the 2 new features introduced by 
Gökhan (key 'k' for xscaling and the generalized handling of the key-mapping, 
which allows the user to choose its prefered key for a certain task) and I'd 
like to see this in matplotlib.

I attached a patch (against todays svn) of my final version, which is a 
slightly modified version of Gökhans patch.

If anybody could test it and comments on this I'd be happy. Otherwise I will 
place the patch on the patch tracker in (let's say) a week.

Thanks in advance for any help in order to bring this into matplotlib.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Easy come easy go

2010-02-17 Thread Michiel de Hoon
An inconsistency in the definition of save_figure between different backends is 
causing this problem.

The GTK backends use
def save_figure(self, button):

but the tkagg, qt, qt4, and macosx backends use
def save_figure(self):

so without the second argument. The line that is causing the error is

self.canvas.toolbar.save_figure(self.canvas.toolbar)

in backend_bases.py. This assumes that the save_figure method is defined as in 
the GTK backends.

As far as I can tell, the GTK backend has the second argument because that is 
what pygtk passes when save_figure is called as a callback. The second argument 
is not actually used inside the method.

So I would suggest the following:

In backend_bases.py, change the offending line to

self.canvas.toolbar.save_figure()

and the backend_gtk, change the definition of the save_figure method to

def save_figure(self, button-None):

Any objections, anybody?

That actually did it.  I thought I had tried this several times and kept
getting errors.  It would not take the color names like red, blue etc.  But
when I changed it as suggested it worked!   

Thank you!

That is a fair explanation. Adding arbitrary lines to the latex
preamble adds an incredible amount of flexibility if you are a user,
and it provides plenty of rope with which to hang yourself if you are
a developer (answering questions/problems related to people writing
bad python code, misconfigured latex installations, and bad latex
code!). At the time, we had finally shaped the latex backend into
something that worked across platforms (and different versions of
latex installations), plus I was also finishing up grad school and
starting a new job, so I had reservations about even adding this
feature to the library. But people really wanted it so we compromised.
