[Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting
Hi,
I'm using surface_plot to view the results of solving the 2d wave equation.
It works fine (code is below) except I would like to add a color bar and
fix the limits on the vertical axis. When I add the color bar a new one is
added in every iteration instead of overwriting the previous one, anyone
know how I can prevent this?
Also is it possible to specify a view point when plotting?
Thanks

[Matplotlib-users] 3D plotting
Hello, I have 2D array where each (x, y) cell represents the height of that point on the Z axis (you can think of it as the map of some mountain chain). I'd like to get the plot_surface() of this data. What I don't understand in particular is the content of the X, Y ,Z array parameter in my particular example. Can anybody elaborate on this please?

I have done some further research on this, and it appears to be a bug of
some sort. Possibly the Locators are already made by the time the
ax.set_xticks([]) is called and that function falls on deaf ears because the
real xaxis is actually a different object for Axes3D. When trying to dig
down and force zero ticks from being used (using NullLocator), I get errors
when attempting to draw:

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting without ticklabels
Bump.
Is this possible using mplot3d?? I would, also like to turn off the ticks
and the tick labels.

Yes, I have tried that, but without success. Looks like the tick-logic

[Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting without ticklabels
Hi,
I'm trying to remove the xtickmarks and ytickmarks from a 3d plot,
without any success.
The example I experiment with is the following:
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = axes3d.Axes3D(fig)
X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)
cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z, 16, extend3d=True)
ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)
#One try that didn't work
ax.set_xticklabels("")
plt.show()
It looks like the final plot ignores all my efforts in turning the
ticks off. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3D plotting?
3D plotting in mpl is unmaintained, so I don't recommend relying on it unless you can bring it up to date and maintain it. After committing a bugfix to svn, the following works with svn mpl and does something like what you want (but might not work with whatever version of mpl you are using.) -- from pylab import * from matplotlib import axes3d N = 30 x = 0.9*rand(N) y = 0.9*rand(N) z = rand(N) c = rand(N) area = pi*(10 * rand(N))**2 # 0 to 10 point radiuses fig = gcf() ax3d = axes3d.Axes3D(fig) plt = fig.axes.append(ax3d) ax3d.scatter(x,y,z,s=area, marker='^', c=c) show() - A more general problem is that a 3D scatter plot is ambiguous--how do you know where a point really is in 3D? You would have to do something like mapping color to Z. Is that what you want to do? Eric william ratcliff wrote: > Is there a way to choose the color map for doing scatter plots using > Axes3D?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3D plotting lines / markers / colors question
Hi, In fact, polt3D and plot3d are the same, IIRC. the kwargs are exactly the same as plot or scatter, as those methods are called inside plot3d ans scatter3d to make the plot.

And what is the difference between plot3d and plot3D? The former seems most "matlab" like, and was what I was looking for: a way to plot individual points and/or curves in 3d using matlab- style line formatting info like: 'ro-' or 'go--' I'm posting this discovery here b/c it took me a long time to find (from the cookbook I somehow started using plot3D and didn't realize there was a plot3d). I am still unsure what args you can pass into plot3D and scatter3D to achieve similar line control. If there's a high-level place this stuff is described, it would be beneficial. - Take Surveys.

Interesting.
I'm on Mac OS X 4.8.9, running Python 2.4.4, using Matplotlib 0.87.7
w/TkAgg (I might be using Wx, but would have to get a problem w/my
machine's and all the students' lab machines wx libraries updated).
When I try using the c='r' parameter, I run into problems. I also
tried c='red'. One big problem for me is that which kwargs can be
used where and what values they can take on is not well documented.
For instance, in plot3d (as opposed to plot3D) you can pass the
typical Matplotlib 'r.-' string and it just works. But in
plot_wireframe, for example, it appears you must use different kwargs
(for instance, linestyle='solid' and color=''). I am
not sure about these notions, b/c I've had to deduce them from the
code and various google-based snippets.
That's why I'm asking for more guidance about the various kwarg usages.
Is there any good place to find more cohesive info online? The most
useful place I could find seemed to be in matplotlib's
collections.py, an __init__ function's documentation (that's where I
deduced, for instance, the linestyle and RGB color info). If there
isn't such a place, someone should probably modify the matplotlib 3d
cookbook. I'd be willing to do that but I'd first need to have a
better understanding about the various functions' kwargs :-).
I'll append a case I used to generate an error, as well as the error
reporting below. I'm also not quite sure how to use the errors that
are reported to help me track down where the problems might be, so if
anyone has some advice on that, it might help me better help myself
in the future.
As always, thx,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting question
Thanks for the input. Its easy for me to patch my own machine, but for students in my class who are using lab machines, its more difficult. Hopefully I can get someone to upgrade the machines in the lab I'm using. (Its difficult to get facilities people to agree to update coursework installs mid- semester). Morale of my story: don't expect 3d plotting to necessarily work / be easy if you don't carefully test it first :-(. I too would be interested in robustifying / making more accessible the 3d stuff, but will have to wait until after the class I'm teaching ends. --b On Apr 11, 2007, at 6:57 PM, Tim Leslie wrote: > Even in the lastest svn version these test methods are all broken to a > greater or lesser degree (as I found out a couple of days ago).

The former seems most "matlab" like, and was what I was looking for: a way to plot individual points and/or curves in 3d using matlab- style line formatting info like: 'ro-' or 'go--' I'm posting this discovery here b/c it took me a long time to find (from the cookbook I somehow started using plot3D and didn't realize there was a plot3d). I am still unsure what args you can pass into plot3D and scatter3D to achieve similar line control. If there's a high-level place this stuff is described, it would be beneficial. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting question
I also seem to have some other 3D plotting problems. Again, following some of the demo/test advice in the cookbook, I tried things like import pylab as p import matplotlib.axes3d as P3 P3.test_surface() and get errors (seems Axes3D needs a figure, no?). I'm using matplotlib version 0.87.7. Any ideas?

[Matplotlib-users] 3d plotting question
Hi,
I'm having problems plotting two different kind of graphs on the same
3D figure. Was hoping for some pointers.
Here's some basic test code, to demonstrate what I'd like to be able
to do.
import copy
import pylab as P
import matplotlib.axes3d as P3
def test() :
[X,Y] = P.meshgrid(P.linspace(-3,3,7),P.linspace(-3,3,7))
Z = copy.deepcopy(X)
Z1 = copy.deepcopy(X)
for i in xrange(len(X)) :
for j in xrange(len(X[0])) :
Z[i][j] = X[i][j]*Y[i][j]
Z1[i][j] = X[i][j]*Y[i][j] - 5
P.close('all')
fig = P.figure()
ax = P3.Axes3D(fig)
ax.scatter3D(P.ravel(X),P.ravel(Y),P.ravel(Z))
ax.set_xlabel('x')
ax.set_ylabel('y')
ax.set_zlabel('z=x*y')
P.show()
ax.plot3D(P.ravel(X),P.ravel(Y),P.ravel(Z1))
P.show()
Which produces an autoscale_view kwarg error appended below. I've
tried calling plot3D with scalex=False and scaleY=False but that
doesn't fix the problem. I've also tried creating a new axis (e.g.
ax1) and doing ax1.Plot3D to no avail. It seems to be an error w/in
matplotlib, but perhaps I'm misusing something. I haven't been able
to find much documentation for this at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/
Matplotlib/mplot3D so have resorted to playing around.
If anyone also knows how to pass color-marker info into scatter3D, I
have been able to create two of those on the same figure, so being
able to change the colors of each and just using scatter3D would be a
reasonable hack for my situation.
Advice always appreciated,
--b

The colors may come from the colormap, but how do they get assigned to areas of the plot itself? The most obvious way to do it is to index by z, so areas with low z are shown with a cool color, and areas with high z are shown with a hot color (assuming you are using a cold-hot colormap). As far as I can tell though, this is not the system currently used, nor is there any coherent system used. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Matplotlib-users] 3d Plotting
I understand that 3D plotting is not fully working yet, but I have a question that might be answerable anyway. I can get a nice looking 3D plot of my data using surf = ax3d.plot_surface(x, y, z) but I can't control the colors used in the plot. I can do a surf.set_array(ColorArray) and the contents of the array (ColorArray) will be translated into colors on the plot somehow, but the translation appears to be arbitrary. Does anyone know how the translation is done, so that I can assign a certain color to a certain part of the plot? Thanks, Rich. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
