Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using callbacks to change Axes positions
Hi Jae-Joon, Thanks! This is exactly what I needed. Putting the colorbar on the right or bottom works great - however, I am running into issues with trying to put the colorbar on the left or bottom (which, from my understanding, is controlled by using pack_start=True?). Should the following code work? import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl import numpy as np from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1) divider = make_axes_locatable(ax) cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05, pack_start=True) fig.add_axes(cax) image = ax.imshow(np.random.random((100,100))) cb = fig.colorbar(image, cax=cax) Cheers, Thomas On Mar 4, 2010, at 10:28 PM, Jae-Joon Lee wrote: > see > > http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15919.html > > axes_grid toolkit provides some helper function that utilizes > axes_locator (take a look at demo_locatable_axes_easy function in the > example below) > > http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_axes_divider.html > > -JJ > > > > > On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 9:05 PM, Thomas Robitaille > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am trying to set up a colorbar that automatically resizes if I zoom in to >> an image (which changes the aspect ratio of the axes, so I want the colorbar >> to get resized too).

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using callbacks to change Axes positions
Hi Jae-Joon, I am encountering another issue, when using the method you suggest in combination with the parasite_axes from the matplotlib toolkit: --- import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl import numpy as np from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.parasite_axes as mpltk fig = mpl.figure() ax = mpltk.SubplotHost(fig, 1, 1, 1) fig.add_axes(ax) divider = make_axes_locatable(ax) cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05) fig.add_axes(cax) image = ax.imshow(np.random.random((100,100))) cb = fig.colorbar(image, cax=cax) --- In the above case, the labels end up on the wrong side of the plot, and the usual method for changing the label position, e.g.: for tick in cax.xaxis.get_major_ticks(): tick.tick1On = True tick.tick2On = True tick.label1On = False tick.label2On = True does not work. Do you have any idea why this might be?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using callbacks to change Axes positions
Hi, It turns out to be a bug (new_vertical works, but new_horizontal does not). To work around this right after cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05, pack_start=True) add these lines locator = divider.new_locator(nx=0, ny=0) cax.set_axes_locator(locator) These two lines only need to be executed when "new_horizontal" is called with pack_start=True. The code below does some monkey patching to fix this bug. Use this if it fits your need. Regards, -JJ # work around new_horizontal bug from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_divider import AxesDivider if not hasattr(AxesDivider, "_new_horizontal_bug_fixed"): new_horizontal_orig = AxesDivider.new_horizontal def new_horizontal(self, size, pad=None, pack_start=False, **kwargs): ax = new_horizontal_orig(self, size, pad=pad, pack_start=pack_start, **kwargs) if pack_start: locator = self.new_locator(nx=0, ny=0) ax.set_axes_locator(locator) return ax AxesDivider.new_horizontal = new_horizontal AxesDivider._new_horizontal_bug_fixed = True On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 9:05 AM, Thomas Robitaille wrote: > Hi Jae-Joon, > > Thanks!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using callbacks to change Axes positions
Unfortunately, axes_grid toolkit (in most cases) creates an axes using its own Axes class by default. Here is some more details. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#axisline To use mpl's original Axes class, append axes_class parameter. import matplotlib.axes as maxes cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05, axes_class=maxes.Axes) Then your code should work. Just in case, with the axes_grid's own Axes class, instead of looping over major_ticks, you do cax.axis["left"].toggle(all=False) cax.axis["right"].toggle(all=True) Regards, -JJ On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 9:38 AM, Thomas Robitaille wrote: > Hi Jae-Joon, > > I am encountering another issue, when using the method you suggest in > combination with the parasite_axes from the matplotlib toolkit: > > --- > > import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl > import numpy as np > from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid import make_axes_locatable > import mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.parasite_axes as mpltk > > fig = mpl.figure() > > ax = mpltk.SubplotHost(fig, 1, 1, 1) > fig.add_axes(ax) > > divider = make_axes_locatable(ax) > > cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05) > fig.add_axes(cax) > > image = ax.imshow(np.random.random((100,100))) > > cb = fig.colorbar(image, cax=cax) > > --- > > In the above case, the labels end up on the wrong side of the plot, and the > usual method for changing the label position, e.g.: > > for tick in cax.xaxis.get_major_ticks(): > tick.tick1On = True > tick.tick2On = True > tick.label1On = False > tick.label2On = True > > does not work.

[Matplotlib-users] Transparencies for land and sea
Has anyone had any success in making land or sea locations transparent in a resulting .png? There are instances when I would like an image to be overlayed on a map and let the underlying terrain map show through. Using an image as a ground overlay in Google Earth would be an example of such a usage. Also, I've noticed that figurePatch.set_alpha(0.0) does not apply transparency within the bounding box. I'm still ending up with white areas within the bounding box. Can transparency be set within the basemap box? Thanks so much! Bruce --- Bruce W.

Thanks for your reply, Friedrich, and for creating the reproducing example! I think it's a bug in numpy.ma._extrema_operations.reduce (at least Pierre GM couldn't explain it away and instructed me to file a bug ticket on it over there, which I did; w/ your permission, I'll add your code to that ticket?) - at the very least, it should be able to handle zero-size arrays more robustly (i.e., w/out raising an exception) IMO. Of course, that doesn't mean that once it's been fixed, imshow (or cm, which is apparently what's really calling it) won't encounter some other problem on account of the fix, but I guess we'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it? > NB: You lose at most 3 pixels at the border of your image > when drawing > it the method you proposed, because the int floor'ing will > cause that. I was afraid of that (fancy index math has never been one of my strong suits) but ultimately I'm making ~5e3 x ~5e3 images (which is why I'm having to create the images that way in the first place - I was getting a memory error trying to imshow the whole full-resolution image w/ one call), so that loss is negligible (but if you can show me how to avoid it, I'd be much appreciative). > NB II: Something happened, you sent the last message four > times? Yeah, my apologies, I'm not sure why that happened; maybe was having connectivity issues and wasn't sure if I'd sent it successfully? Anyway, sorry 'bout that. :-( Thanks again!

Hmm, IMO it's correct to raise because the minimum of nothing isn't defined? Matplotlib tries to find a minimum. Anyway, you cannot draw ndarrays arr with 0 in arr.shape. So I think matplotlib should maybe silently skip attempting to draw it? Friedrich -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using callbacks to change Axes positions
divider.get_horizontal() returns a list of size objects (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/api/axes_size_api.html#module-mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_size) that are currently used. For example, cax = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05) horiz_list = divider.get_horizontal() horiz_list[0] is x-size of ax, horiz_list[1] is pad size, and horiz_list[2] is x-size of cax. You can modify those size objects (but usually they don't provide public interfaces). Or you can substitute any of them with a valid size object. horiz_list[1]._fixed_size = 0. # makes pad 0 inches horiz_list[2]._fraction = 0.1 # width of cax becomes 10% of the width of ax Or from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_size import Fixed, Fraction horiz_list[1] = Fixed(0.) horiz_list[2] = Fraction(0.1, horiz_list[0]) There are not much of documentation available, but this may be helpful. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axes_divider.html Regards, -JJ On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 3:38 PM, Thomas Robitaille wrote: > Hi Jae-Joon, > > Thanks for your help!

[Matplotlib-users] Traits
All, In one post from John Hunter, I heard the word "traits", which I assume is from the enthought distribution. Is there a move in matplotlib toward the "trait" technology taking place? How about for Python in general? Thanks. David. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
