[Matplotlib-users] circle not drawn correctly when axis is flipped

2007-12-11 Thread Matthew Auger
I'm trying to plot a circle AND flip an axis of the plot, but this leads 
to an inverted circle (diamond) being drawn. Is there any way to do this 
'neatly' (besides, for example, manually editing the axis labels or using 
a many-sided polygon to fake a circle)? Note that the circle renders 
correctly with the PS backend Example code to reproduce the problem:

import pylab as p

x = p.rand(17)
y = p.rand(17)

p.scatter(x,y)
p.gca().add_patch(p.Circle((0.5,0.5),0.2,fill=False))
p.axis([0.,1.,1.,0.])
p.gca().set_aspect('equal')
p.show()


Thanks for any help!
Matt

[Matplotlib-users] using strpdate2num in load

2007-12-11 Thread Emmanuel
Hi,

I've a little problem with date conversion. I have a csv file which looks
like :
"Data","Valor"
"15/01/2007"," 6,700012000"
"12/01/2007"," 6,659903000"
"11/01/2007"," 6,701586000"

I try to get date using function strpdate2num in load doing this :

from pylab import datestr2num, load
def comma_nb2float(A):
return eval(A.replace(',','.'))
dates, valor =
load("file.csv",delimiter=',',converters={0:strpdate2num('%d/%m/%Y'),1:comma_nb2float},skiprows=1,
usecols=(0,1),unpack=True)

I got the following error message :

---

call last)

/home/manu/Documents/Perso/../

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mlab.py in load(fname, comments,

   1354 vals = line.split(delimiter)
-> 1355 row = [converterseq[j](vals[j]) for j in usecols]
   1356 else:

291 found = format_regex.match(data_string)
292 if not found:
--> 293 raise ValueError("time data did not match format:  data=%s

294  (data_string, format))
295 if len(data_string) != found.end():

ValueError: time data did not match format:  data="15/01/2007"  fmt=%d/%m/%Y


I didn't understood the problem, anyone can help me ?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Printing gif images to file with matplotlib

2007-12-11 Thread Michael Droettboom
You can just pass a path to savefig, e.g.:

savefig("/home/me/test.png")

(The format is automatically determined from the extension).  If you 
want to know which formats are supported by which backends, you can have 
a look at FILETYPES in the source tree here:

http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/FILETYPES?view=markup

Many of the examples for matplotlib have savefig, but the line is 
usually commented out.  Just remove the '#' and you have lots of examples.

Cheers,
Mike

If I am reading this right, according to the svn log, you fixed this in

  r4633 | mdboom | 2007-12-05 14:28:28 -0600 (Wed, 05 Dec 2007) | 2 lines

  Fix bug where font files were opened many more times than they need to be.

and 0.91.1 was released at r4517.  So this fix may not be out until
the 0.91.2 point release.  Or were you referring to a different fix?

This bug is that many font files were being opened than needed, but they 
were still all getting closed.

Much earlier, someone else fixed a bug where they weren't getting closed 
at all.

I just upgraded and checked -- the bug still exists in 0.91.1.  I'm
afraid I don't know whether it has been fixed by r4633 or not.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Repeated calls to set_text using TeX formatting results in RuntimeError

2007-12-11 Thread Michael Droettboom
The patch for r4633 is pretty simple, so you could test it without 
needing to check out from SVN or build your own matplotlib etc.

Open the file "font_manager.py", which should live in 
"%PYTHONPATH%/Lib/site-packages/matplotlib".  Around line 681, you'll 
find the function:

 def __hash__(self):
 return hash(repr(self.__props))

Change it to:

 def __hash__(self):
 return hash(repr(self.__props.__dict__))

formatting results in RuntimeError

The patch for r4633 is pretty simple, so you could test it without
needing to check out from SVN or build your own matplotlib etc.

Open the file "font_manager.py", which should live in
"%PYTHONPATH%/Lib/site-packages/matplotlib".  Around line 681, you'll
find the function:

 def __hash__(self):
 return hash(repr(self.__props))

Change it to:

 def __hash__(self):
 return hash(repr(self.__props.__dict__))

(Obviously, back up the file first...)

Then try your script again.  If that doesn't work, I'll have to fire up
Windows some time to have a look -- I'm not able to reproduce this bug

Great.  The forthcoming 0.91.2 release sounds like it will be very 
important to Windows users.

Apologies for introducing this bug in the first place!

[Matplotlib-users] re ndered objects (esp. SVG)

2007-12-11 Thread bplewe

[Fairly new at matplotlib, but very happy with it so far]

Is it possible to retrieve images rendered by one of the backends as an
object, rather than just saving to a file?  

Specifically, I need to render graphs to SVG code, that I can turn into a
DOM object for further manipulation.  I can save to a temp file and
immediately reload it into a DOM, but that is cumbersome in a single
program.

The only place I can see to generate rendered output is savefig().  There is
a reference in the documentation to using a file-like object with the Cairo
backend.  Is that the only possibility?

If so, any ideas on a workaround other than temp files?

[Matplotlib-users] Scientific visualisation techniques

2007-12-11 Thread adamski246

I am part of a team trying to create interactive GUI scientific
visualisations and would like some advice regarding the best way to proceed. 

We are trying to output mathematical functions (Fourier transforms, ray
tracing etc.) in graphical form and have been very impressed with the ease
Matplotlib can do this. However, all attempts to control or modify input to
Matplotlib from a GUI (Tkinter, Wx, Jython, PyGTK etc.) have proved
fruitless due to seeming incompatibility between these modules, particularly
when one distributes any finished product to another platform.

I am an experienced Java programmer who needs the portability and free
technologies provided by Java (or Python) to distribute our applications and
would like to know of the best way to mesh Matplotlib to a GUI creating
system. We have experimented with the GUI creation possibilities of
Matplotlib itself but these are inadequate for our needs.

Does anyone know of (or has examples of) Matplotlib applications controlled
by a GUI or must I return to my Java roots where I can easily solve all GUI
problems but do not have access to a powerful maths library such as
Matplotlib.

Thanks
adam

[Matplotlib-users] problems with 0.91.1 and python 2.5.1

2007-12-11 Thread Thorsten.G

Hello i' am an newbie in matplotlib and python!
I've installed python 2.5.1 + numpy 1.0.4 + numarray 1.5.2 but have many
problems !
I've written an easy plot script
import matplotlib
import pylab
from pylab import arange,sin,pi,plot,xlabel,ylabel,title,grid,show,axis

ymax = max([1,4,9,16,12,5,7,13,7,1,33])
ymin = min([1,-4,9,16,12,5,7,13,7,1,33])
print 'ymax = %s' % ymax
print 'ymin = %s' % ymin
plot([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], [1,4,9,16,12,5,7,13,7,1,33], 'ro')
axis([0, 15, ymin-5, ymax+5])
xlabel('time (s)')
ylabel('voltage (mV)')
title('About as simple as it gets, folks')
grid(True)
show()

--> AND i get some problems

matplotlib can be easily embedded in tk, gtk, wx, qt or fltk.  See the
API FAQ at http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#OO and the
embedding_in_*.py examples at http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples

I'd be all for having wxmpl distributed as part of the matplotlib  
toolkits. I had originally hoped to merge it into the main  
distribution after unifying the event handling so that matplotlib  
events worked robustly, but I don't see myself finding the time to  
work on it any time soon.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] problems with 0.91.1 and python 2.5.1

2007-12-11 Thread Michael Droettboom
I think the problem might be related to using numarray and not numpy. 
matplotlib is not heavily tested (if at all) on anything but numpy anymore.

See this from your output log:

D:\Program 
Files\Python-2.5.1\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\numerix\__init__.py:65:
  DeprecationWarning: numarray use as a numerix backed for matplotlib is
   deprecated
   DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=1)

Indeed, using "float" as a type specifier works with numpy but not with 
numarray.

Try setting your "numerix" setting to "numpy" in your matplotlibrc file.

If there are good reasons that you need to keep using numarray (for 
compatibility with your own code for instance), please mention that on 
this list -- there may be workarounds.

Cheers,
Mike

Re: [Matplotlib-users] re ndered objects (esp. SVG)

2007-12-11 Thread Michael Droettboom
[I only seem to be getting this message from the list today, despite the 
timestamp of 2007-12-05.  Sorry for the delay.]

As of matplotlib 0.91.1, savefig() supports saving to a file-like object 
for most backends (excluding Gtk and Wx).  You can pass in a StringIO 
object to savefig for instance, and then pass its content to the XML 
parser of your choice.  (There is no way to get DOM objects directly, 
since the SVG backend actually writes the XML content directly as a 
stream of bytes).

You can specify SVG as your output by either setting the backend 
appropriately or passing a "format" kwarg to savfig, e.g.

   savefig(fileobj, format="svg")

Cheers,
Mike

good choice -- the other is to follow the "embedded_in_***" examples -- 
where are they?  A quick googling didn't find them!

I'm guessing that you're using the pylab interface -- pylab manages the 
GUI for you -- which is great if you're doing simple interactive 
plotting, but will not work if you are embedding MPL in a gui -- you 
need to use the OO interface instead -- see the embedded_in_*** examples.

>> particularly
>> when one distributes any finished product to another platform.

This is no harder than with JAVA -- easier I think -- you can completely 
control the environment if you want -- see py2exe, pyInstaller, py2app, etc.

Once you get the hang of Python, I think you'll find that you can solve 
your GUI problems even more easily! I'm partial to wxPython, but pyQT 
and pyGTK have their strengths also.

As a JAVA coder, I recommend you read:

[Matplotlib-users] installation problem/crash

2007-12-11 Thread Ryan Krauss
I am trying to help a student get started with
Python/Scipy/Numpy/Matplotlib in windows.  On one of his machines,
everything seems to install correctly, we can call figure(1) without a
problem, and plotting is fine until we try the show() command.  Then
python crashes without much in the way of useful information.  His
laptop is completely fine.

We have downloaded a current rc file and set the backend to TkAgg.

Any thoughts?

How do we get more info to track down the problem?

Thanks,

Ryan

I should add that in 0.91.1, you'll be hit by this bug:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=475ED00A.400%40stsci.edu

You can wait for 0.91.2, or patch your cbook.py as suggested by Brandon 
in the above thread.

First try

  >>> import numpy
  >>> numpy.test()

there is a numpy problem on windows that affects older machines.

If that works, create a simple test file that generates a plot and
calls savefig and run it with

  > python myscript.py --verbose-debug-annoying

try different backends by adding -dPS or -dAgg to the verbose flag
from the command line and see which backends crash and report back
with the verbose output

Go to the windows information screens and fetch out some CPU details.
If it's a Pentium III, chances are the SSE2 instructions in the latest
numpy binary are the culprit. If it's a newer chip, we'll need to dig
deeper.

[Matplotlib-users] can matplotlib do this?

2007-12-11 Thread mbauer
Matplotlib users, I looking to tap your wealth of ideas and experience  
to help solve a problem I'm working on.

The problem: I have a series of 2d scalar arrays representing a fixed  
width/height lon/lat box centered on an arbitrary lon/lat. I need to  
average these composites on a common basis that accommodates the scale  
changes due to latitude, preferably by shifting everything to a common  
central lon/lat (a polar/radial distance basis would work too). I want  
a plot of the end result too and I'm like to do everything with  
matplotlib and python so that it folds into the rest of my program.

Something similar can be seen at 
http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~robwood/topic_cyclones.htm

I've been looking at transform_scalar from basemap but I'm not quite  
sure this is what I should use.

If anyone can offer a solution, a point in the right direction, or  
just wave me off this path I'd be most appreciative.

Mike

Mike:

transform_scalar does simple bilinear interpolation from a lat/lon grid 
to a regular grid in map projection coordinates. If your map projection 
is just a lat/lon projection, then this amounts to interpolating from 
one lat/lon grid to another.

>   
I'm sure numpy/matplotlib can do what you need to do.   Matplotlib can 
certainly make a plot similar to the one given in your link.  I think 
you question relates more to the processing of your arrays though, and 
not specifically the plotting.  Are all your 2d arrays the same shape 
(the same number of lats and lons)?  Are they just centered on different 
regions?  If so, I think you can just multiply each grid point by the 
cosine of latitude to get the proper area weighting before summing them 
together.  But perhaps I'm missing the essence of your question

.

Sounds like the problem is the fact that my desktop computers do not
support SSE2 instructions which are in the latest numpy binaries.
This also explains why it works fine on the laptop which does support
SSE2.


I piggy-backed onto an existing thread on the numpy list (is that bad
listserve etiquette? - probably: I now have the same question on two
lists and I tried to high jack a thread.).  Unless someone has a
better idea, I will try and build from source for him.  But my windows
building skills are not what they should be.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] CocoaAgg backend status?

2007-12-11 Thread Barry Wark
Michael,

I'm sorry. I just realized I hadn't replied to you yet; sorry for the
delay. John also pointed us to the transforms branch and that's where
we'll start. Thanks! There's no real advantage to CoreAnimation per se
(except eye candy), but going "native" for rendering would allow mpl
to integrate more smoothly with the rest of the 2D and 3D (much of
Quartz, and CoreImage the 2D rendering and filtering systems in OS X
are actually rendered on the graphics card as OpenGL) rendering system
in OS X. Some advantages, off the top of my head are resolution
independence, ability to offload rendering and/or coordinate
transformation to the graphics card, ability to easily produce output
in any of the CoreImage supported formats, ability to incorporate
transparency and alpha blending within the view hierarchy, ability to
combine media (QuickTime, OpenGL, and Quartz) in layers (the real
purpose of the CoreAnimation engine), ability to piggy back on
improvements in Apple's rendering engine (things like anti-aliasing
etc.), ColorSync support, and _maybe_ some speed improvements by
taking a layer or two out of the rendering process. All of these are
just speculation, at this time... we're just getting started but will
share our results as soon as they're ready.

[Matplotlib-users] scipy on XP in VMWare Workstation

2007-12-11 Thread William Purcell
I am trying to run scipy in XP on VMWare Workstation. The host OS is 
Ubuntu.  When I attempt to launch scipy I get the error:

I changed the back end to WxAgg with no luck.

ImportError: no module named wx

Any thoughts?
