[Matplotlib-users] plotyy equivalent example -- png output
Below is the working code to plot two different data series with different
units on the same graph, with the same x co-ordinates:
import pylab
# generate some data
x = range(0, 10)
y1 = [i*i for i in x]
y2 = [pylab.sin(0.4*i) for i in x]
# the data share x axis but have different y units
figure = pylab.gcf() # Get the current figure
orig_axis = pylab.gca()# Get the current axis
orig_axis.set_axis_off() # Turn it off to avoid complications
# use this for the overlapping axes
box = [0.14, 0.14, 0.72, 0.72]
# This uses the first set of data
axis1 = figure.add_axes(box, label = 'axis1')
axis1.set_title('TITLE')
axis1.plot(x, y1, '-^y')
axis1.set_ylabel('AXIS 1 LABEL')
axis1.set_xlabel('SHARED X LABEL')
axis1.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
# This uses the second set of data
# Note the same box region is used but the label must be different
axis2 = figure.add_axes(box, label = 'axis2')
axis2.plot(x, y2, '-sb')
axis2.yaxis.set_ticks_position('right')
axis2.yaxis.set_label_position('right')
axis2.set_ylabel('AXIS 2 LABEL')
axis2.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
axis2.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
axis2.spines['left'].set_visible(False)
# Write out to a file
pylab.savefig('out.png', dpi = 100, transparent = True)
Issues:
1) I can't use show() in this case because there is no Transparent
parameter.
2) It's still a botch.
3) I tried using alpha but it didn't seem to work at all?
Does anyone have a better implementation of this or better ideas?
Many thanks
James

Hi James,
I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, but for me it seems like
the twinx-method of an Axes instance is what you need (see for instance:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/two_scales.html)
for your example something like the following should work
import pylab
# generate some data
x = range(0, 10)
y1 = [i*i for i in x]
y2 = [pylab.sin(0.4*i) for i in x]
# the data share x axis but have different y units
figure = pylab.gcf() # Get the current figure
box = [0.14, 0.14, 0.72, 0.72]
ax1 = figure.add_axes(box)
ax1.set_ylabel('axis1', color='b')
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax2.set_ylabel('axis2', color='g', )
ax1.plot(x, y1, '-^y', color='blue')
ax2.plot(x, y2, '-^y', color='green')
# Make the y-tick labels of first axes match the line color.
for tl in ax1.get_yticklabels():
tl.set_color('b')
pylab.show()
Kind regards,
Matthias

I don't see this here (on the wx Buttons in the mathtext_wx.py example, at least). What are you using to display this bitmap? It may be a premultiplied/nonpremultiplied alpha problem.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] MPL uses character not defined by cmr10?
Those Computer Modern fonts (specifically the Bakoma distribution of them that matplotlib includes) use a custom character set mapping where many of the characters are in completely arbitrary locations. For regular text, matplotlib expects a regular Unicode font (particularly to get the minus sign). Since cmr10 doesn't have a standard encoding, it just won't work. You could get around this by overriding the default formatter to use a different symbol for the minus sign.

Umm, ... last email on this topic, I promise.
Is there any reason the font family rc parameter is case sensitive, while the
findfont input is case insensitive? In other words, replacing
> font.serif: CMU Serif
with
> font.serif: cmu serif
does not work. On the other hand, both of the following work:
>>> mpl.font_manager.findfont('cmu serif')
>>> mpl.font_manager.findfont('CMU Serif')
This caused me problems when debugging my earlier font troubles.
Best,
