[Matplotlib-users] multiple annotation in one line

[Bala subramanian]

Friends
1) Excuse me if this questions is posted already. I have to make 5 to 6
annotations in my figure. Is there any way that i can make all of them in
one shot instead of writting a separate line of code for each of them.

for instance plot function accepts a series of x,y data. Is it possible with
annotate function also.

2) Is it possible to use an axis range to place a text. Ie we use a
something like xy=(160,0) to indicate the axes positions where the text
should be placed, instead i want specify for instance x-axis range 160-180
and place the text in the center of this range.

Thanks,
Bala

This is an awesome addition. Thanks to Ian Thomas. We do a lot of ocean 
modeling with unstructured triangular grids and this will be very useful. There 
currently is no good way to do this without using commercial packages like 
tecplot.

It's not in mpl -- we may ship it one day but it is still brand new
and likely to undergo significant development and bug-fixing as people
start to deploy it and report problems.  If the html5 developers would
like to host it in our tree they are welcome to, but for now they
choose google code.

We have to invert because the image data is assumed to be starting in
the upper left. You can change this assumption by passing:

orgin='lower'

All of these options are supported by imshow(), so if one has uniform
data and just needs proper data scaling, imshow() will be sufficient.

[Matplotlib-users] install from svn, pick correct of two numpy header locations

[Angus McMorland]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install matplotlib from svn. I have two versions of
numpy on my computer: one installed by the Ubuntu package manager in
/usr/lib and one installed from source in /usr/local/lib which takes
precedence based on the order of my PYTHONPATH. I'm trying to install
the latest matplotlib from source, also into /usr/local using

python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

but mpl's setup.py appears to not use np.get_include() when working
out where to look for the numpy headers, so is finding the old ones in
/usr/lib. Is this the correct behaviour, and/or am I doing something
wrong? Is there another way to specify where the headers should be
found?

Thanks,

Angus.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] remove matplotlib

[Benjamin Root]

Samuel,

Fortunately, matplotlib keeps all of the files that it compiles with the
python files that it installs.  On Ubuntu, I believe that the installation
directory was /usr/lib/python2.?/dist-packages/matplotlib* (note, I don't
remember the exact version of python and the exact name of the matplotlib
directory).  If you remove that matplotlib directory and the corresponding
matplotlib egg info file that is also in the dist-packages directory, that
should get everything with respect to matplotlib.

Also, if you use basemap, remember that it is installed separately from
matplotlib and it would also have to be removed in a similar manner, if you
needed it removed.

I hope that is helpful.

Ben Root

ubuntu 8.04 was still using site-packages; the switch to dist-packages 
was in 9.10, if I remember correctly.  8.04 uses python 2.5.

Also check the /usr/local path along with the /usr path. I'm not sure 
whether the installation from source put things by default in /usr or 
/usr/local.  I always do installations from tarball in /usr/local so as 
to keep them separate from packages installed via the distro packaging 
system.

I can't investigate properly right now, but get_include() is getting called:

efir...@manini:~/programs/py/mpl/mpl_trunk$ grep get_include *.py
setupext.py:module.include_dirs.append(numpy.get_include())

You could try putting in print statements to see what version of numpy 
has been imported at that point, and if it is the wrong one, how that 
comes about.  When numpy is being imported for the first time in 
setupext.py, is PYTHONPATH what you think it is?

That was my first thought -- when you call setup.py install are you
running as root.  If so, it may not be picking up your userland
PYTHONPATH.  Try adding the python path on the install line, eg

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages python setup.py
install --prefix=/usr/local

Thanks guys- that was exactly the problem: sudo not carrying
PYTHONPATH through from userland. In case anyone's interested, I fixed
it by adding

Defaults env_keep+="PYTHONPATH"

to my /etc/sudoers file, so the problem should now be permanently
fixed. Sorry for the noise.

Angus.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] installation of matplotlib on OS X 10.5 with python.org Python 2.6

[Friedrich Romstedt]

resending to the list too, fwiw.

2010/7/5 Stephen T. :
> Hi, I am having trouble installing matplotlib. I have OS X 10.5 with Python
> 2.6 downloaded and installed from python.org. (10.5 came with Apple Python

Since you are 10.5, I think your default compiler is gcc-4.0 if I'm
not very much mistaken.  Can you please verify that by issuing gcc
--version?

I had a private conversation with the "owner" of the previous thread
about OS X, and it seems that there are two ways to build matplotlib.
I personally had no luck with the prebuilt version either, but I don't
remember the issue, I think it wasn't compatible with my gcc-4.2
compiled freetype2 (I'm on 10.6).

a) Use make.osx.  This is quite easy, but you have no control over
where the libraries are installed, and if you do not log it via 2>&1 |
tee log.txt we will be unable to diagnose.  make.osx installs
libraries in your system, so be aware of this.

b) Install the libraries on your own.  This seems to be a little more
complicated, but it isn't really.  I used libpng 1.4 with a few
modifications, just a few lines in src/_png.cpp.  (You also may
already have recent enough versions through your /opt/ path.)

Sorry, I'm writing this again and again to all the users I tried to
convice of this way, but I didn't find inclination to do it properly
together with the developers on the website.

Did you compile Python 2.6 yourself?  If yes, have you made sure to
use the --enable-framework switch for configure?

It would be helpful to have information about the initial diagnostic
output of the setup.py call, but I don't know if easy_install works
that way.  The installation routine tells there what libraries are
found and if you have pkg-config it tells also the version found.

I think /opt/ installs are macports or similar?  What kind of "package
system" for Mac do you have installed?

It doesn't tell which arch it's missing.  I'm a bit confused about
this "missing architecture".  What arch does your system have?

That's strange to me.

This is the normal error when it failed.

Somewhere here comes the output about the libraries and dependencies.

This all seems the same as above.

I don't know, I also encountered this often, seems to be an extra
option issued by the distutils, which is not needed.

I did without EPD and 0.99.3 is working fine.

[Matplotlib-users] hammer/aitoff projection-changing the axis

[abbb]

Hi there,
I am trying to rotate the axis of my hammer plot. They are set to span from
-pi to pi along the x-axis and pi/2 to -pi/2 on the y-axis, however, I would
like the axis to go from 0 to 2*pi on the x-axis. I am using this for the
first time, my code is just:

subplot(111, projection="hammer")
p=plot([a],[b],"o")
grid(True)
show()

does anyone know what i need to add to this to change the limits of the
x-axis?

[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib 1.0 dateutils missing on MacOS X

[Edward Barnard]

Hi All

I had a problem installing matplotlib 1.0.0 on MacOS X 10.6 using python.org 
2.6.5 with the binary installer (dmg). When importing pylab, datautils was 
missing. I fixed that by easy_installing python-dateutils, but it seems like it 
should be included in the installer or listed in the install requirements.

Thanks for a great piece of software!

Russell -- did you use setup.cfg for the mac binaries?  pytz and
dateutil should be turned on in that file (copy setup.cfg.template to
setup.cfg)

Re: [Matplotlib-users] contourf shows a unwanted white space

[Benjamin Root]

Bala,

the white space you see is due to contourf trying to have the axes ticks end
on a round number.  If you don't want that behavior, you can set the limits
of the plot after calling contourf() with something like this:

contourf(X, Y, Z)
xlim(x_min, x_max)
ylim(y_min, y_max)

presuming you would know which values to use for the min and max variables.

Somebody else will have to explain the locator and the x,y units kargs
because I am not familiar with them.

[Matplotlib-users] Updating Scatter Plot data

[Aman Thakral]

Hi,

I was just curious if there is a way to update the data for a scatter plot
similar to the set_data function for a axes.plot object?  The reason is
because I need to update a scatter plot at various zoom levels and
colors/distribution of the circles will change with the zoom level.  I
looked at the output from the get_paths and it does not correspond to the
vertices of circles that are in the plot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aman

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Updating Scatter Plot data

[Aman Thakral]

I found one method to work around this.  I iterate through the list of
collections by accessing the axes.collections list and checking to see if
the type of the collection is a CircleCollection.  If so, I remove the item
then redraw the collection for the appropriate zoom level.  This doesn't
really seem like an optimal way of doing this though.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] hammer/aitoff projection-changing the axis

[Benjamin Root]

Try out the xlim() function.  It can take a tuple of values, or two
arguments.

[Matplotlib-users] Plot irregular spaced data

[Ross Williamson]

Hi Everyone

I think I'm being dumb but I have a set of 2d data (2d array) z
(100x100) which I need to plot - I have a nominal set of x and y
positions say:

x = linspace(0,100)
y = linspace(0,100)

Now the actual positions of the points in z are given by the following:

[Matplotlib-users] plotting irregular spaced data

[Ross Williamson]

Hi Everyone

I think I'm being dumb but I have a set of 2d data (2d array) z
(100x100) which I need to plot - I have a nominal set of x and y
positions say:

x = linspace(0,100)
y = linspace(0,100)

Now the actual positions of the points in z are given by the following:

u,v = meshgrid(x,y)

phi = arctan2(v,u)
theta = arcsin(u/cos(phi))

so I have three 2d arrays (100x100) which describe the postion
(phi,theta) of the points in z

How do I go about plotting these say using imshow?

Cheers

Ross

Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting irregular spaced data

[Benjamin Root]

imshow requires the data to be regularly spaced.  use pcolor instead.

Also, to be clear, pcolor() can take 1-D X and Y arguments, but only if it
is regular.  If the coordinates are irregular, then you need to use 2D X and
Y arguments.

You can check where your matplotlib is installed with

$ python -c "import matplotlib; print matplotlib"
