Re: [Matplotlib-users] change axes/tickmarks/ticklabels color
George Apologies for all-too-brief reply the first time around. I am more than rusty with matplot, but need to brush up again. What you are wanting to do is not so straightforward and, unfortunately, is not documented all in one place. I have found a number of references to different bits-and-pieces of the puzzle, and I include these here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=871x367j87.fsf%40peds-pc311.bsd.uchicago.edu http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=87ll50xybc.fsf%40peds-pc311.bsd.uchicago.edu http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=87br7eoo4o.fsf%40florent.maison http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=m2d61xe7lv.fsf%40mother.paradise.lost (in particular, the frame - x and y axes - does not have a color setting and needs to be turned off, following which lines can be drawn in its place with axhline and axvline) I am sure more searching in the mail archives will yield more gems! Part of the issue is, I think, that these are all different types of objects and therefore handled in different ways. It would be really good to come up with a definitive example and post it here when the question arises again, we can just point back to this example (and possibly ask for it to be included in further releases of the samples.zip from the website). Derek George Nurser [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007/10/16 04:10 PM Hi Derek, I did setp(a2.get_xticklabels(), color='w') setp(a2.get_yticklabels(), color='w') and this made the ticklabels readable, which is the main thing. Ideally it would be nice to change the axes and tickmark colors but it's not essential. setp(a2.get_xticks(), color='w') setp(a2.get_yticks(), color='w') setp(a2.get_axes(), edgecolor='w') don't work. Many thanks, George Nurser.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting wind-speed time series
John If you look through the thread, you will see I have responded before saying I that had used this code successfully. I did not find any detailed documentation necessary... the program is really self- explanatory and well-commented. Here is a sample that works for me: from pylab import * import windrose figure(figsize=(8,8), facecolor='w') ventV = [ 0.2, 0.2, 0.35, 0.09, 0.55, 0.5, 0.2, 0.33, 0.44, 0.22 ] ventD = [ 65., 59., 74., 231., 268., 283., 166., 214., 66., 114.] freq,ax=windrose.windplot(ventV,ventD,counts=False,speed_classes=[0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5],sectors=8,style='bar2') title(And here is the title!, fontsize=14) fig=ax.get_figure() #for leg in fig.legends: # setp(leg.get_texts(), fontsize=8) draw() show() The commented code is in case you want to set the font size for the legend.

I sent the author a email requesting more info and hopefully he would respond. Just in case, have anybody used this code successfully? If so, could you please share a sample dataset to use windrose.py?

[Matplotlib-users] Adding text and rectangles below plotted data?
I would like to be able to draw rectangles, with text centered inside them, at key positions on a plot. The case in question is a bar plot, and the rectangles need to be drawn such that they are length of one or more of the each bar groupings, side-by-side in a line along the width of the X-axis. The line of rectangles should be located just below the X-axis tickmark labels. I see the fill() command allows plotting of a polygon and the figtext() command allows text to be plotted so, in theory, these should work. My problem is (a) what is the syntax for the fill() command - I have tried ax.fill(0.5,0.5,'b') and get an error: TypeError: zip argument #1 must support iteration (b) how to calculate the correct (x,y) values for locating the start/stop points of the rectangles? i.e. how do I find out where the start/end points are for the X values of each bar grouping? And at what vertical height should the line of rectangles be located? Any ideas or insights would be appreciated?

[Matplotlib-users] Changing the font for the legend
I would like to know how to change the font for the legend.
The usual method of:
yticklabels = getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
setp(yticklabels, color='black', fontsize=6)
Does not seem to work for legend.
And when I try:
legend( ... prop=FontProperties('smaller') )
as per the webpage, I get a warning message and the
font size is unchanged.
What is the best method for changing font properties
(e.g. point size, color) for the legend?

The problem is that I get the error: ValueError: array dimensions must agree except for d_0 because jan and feb have different lengths - however, I have no control over the size of these arrays - they vary greatly according to external issues.

Vineet Sorry - I was not too clear on my question; I *am* currently able to use matplotlib - what I am not sure how to is to integrate it into a web framework. I have been looking at using Pylons - as that is WSGI compliant - but probably any one will do. I would like to be able to generate graphs on the fly from database data (and I assume your graphs are done a similar way), and so I was wondering what are the specifics of the approach you used for this - is it just a case of installing Python onto a server, plus the web framework code, and then importing the matplotlib code - if so, what command is used to pull the graph into the web page - the matplotlib show command? - or do you store the graph somewhere on a temporary basis and then delete again when done??

There is an example for how to save charts to a file (which is what I do) and another one for streaming the charts back to the user. The only issue I have faced is that matplotlib is slow for my chart types (takes about 0.8 seconds to do a chart). I'm hoping that future version of matplotlib will be faster. Guys at stockcharts.com generate charts in about 0.3 seconds. So matplotlib (for the charts I generate) is about 2.5 slower than what they use. For most people that might not be an issue, but since I pre-generate 100,000s of graphs daily it can cause a lot of pain. Vineet __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Getting started with bar charts
Jouni
Wow! A guru at work... this solves all my current problems;
your insights and comments are most appreciated!
To return to my first post - matplotlib aims to make simple things
simple - I would argue that the way tickmarks are currently dealt
with is NOT simple it would be great to see some simplifications
or additions to the interface to deal with the issues raised in this
thread (for example, by aligning their behaviour and properties to
other, similar, chart properties).
Thanks again,
Derek
Jouni K Seppänen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006/08/23 08:52 AM
[Again copying to matplotlib-users; maybe the main developers can
comment on whether these shortcomings in the getp/setp interface
should be fixed.]
Hi Derek,
It does seem as those these settings affect the top and bottom of
the graph - I was wondering if it was possible to show tickmarks
along the bottom edge but not the top edge?
I don't think that's directly supported. Here's a hacky way to do it:
lines = getp(gca(), 'xticklines')
toplines = [ l for l in lines if getp(l, 'ydata') == (1,) ]
setp(toplines, visible=False)
How I came up with this: I knew that I wanted to make some of the
xticklines invisible, so I looked at the list of line objects for
clues as to what differs between them. They seem to have xdata and
ydata properties, and ydata is (0,) for half of the lines and (1,)
for the other half, so it looks like it is the vertical position in
axis coordinates. (xdata seems to be in data coordinates.)
And the other property I do not see on the list is the one that
shows whether a tick goes into the graph or just out - in the
prc file, there is a line:
xtick.direction : in # direction: in or out
but there is no direction' property?
You're right, there is no obvious property to control this. Here's an
even hackier way to do this (and one that doesn't look very future-
proof):
for l in getp(gca(), 'xticklines'):
setp(l, 'marker', 5-getp(l, 'marker'))
The line objects have a marker property, which is 2 for some markers
and 3 for the others... so I guessed that one of them means upwards
and the other downwards, and checked this guess by flipping the
xtick.direction parameter and looking again. So subtracting the
marker from 5 flips the direction.
I wonder how this is done in Matlab?
label: any string
which shows me that the Yaxis has a label - in this case a
string - but I do not see how one can set the font properties
for the Yaxis label as it is not Text object??
I think you cannot do this with setp alone. Use the ylabel command:
ylabel('foo bar', fontsize=18)
