[Matplotlib-users] Turning grid on

[stephen]

I am having an issue with the grid not appearing that I cannot figure out.
Can anyone help? Thanks. --StephenB

from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

x = np.linspace(0,10,50)
y = np.sin(x)

with PdfPages('grid_test.pdf') as pdf:
plt.clf()

plt.clf()
plt.plot(x,y)
leg = plt.legend(['legend 1'])
plt.title('Sample title')
ax.set_ylabel('Sample ylabel')
ax.set_xlabel('Sample xlabel')

ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 20))
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 5), minor=True)
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20))
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20), minor=True)

ax.minorticks_on

I only see that you added "plt.show()", but neither the grid or the axis
labels are showing up.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Turning grid on

Hm, I tried both suggestions, and still no grid (removed PDF for simplicity):

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)

x = np.linspace(0,10,50)
y = np.sin(x)

plt.clf()

plt.clf()
plt.plot(x,y)
leg = plt.legend(['legend 1'])
plt.title('Sample title')
ax.set_ylabel('Sample ylabel')
ax.set_xlabel('Sample xlabel')

ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 20))
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 5), minor=True)
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20))
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20), minor=True)

ax.minorticks_on()
ax.grid('on')
plt.show()

But this works:

fig = plt.figure()

x = np.linspace(0,10,50)
y = np.sin(x)

plt.clf()

plt.clf()
plt.plot(x,y)
leg = plt.legend(['legend 1'])
plt.title('Sample title')
plt.ylabel('Sample ylabel')
plt.xlabel('Sample xlabel')

ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 20))
ax.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 10, 5), minor=True)
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20))
ax.set_yticks(np.arange(-1,1,20), minor=True)

ax.minorticks_on()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

I didn't see this in the examples. Can I have a figure title and titles
for subplots too? Can someone post a quick sample? Thanks.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to create 2 plots?

[Stephen Gibson]

Call   'figure()'   for each plot.

see:  http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html

matplotlib.pyplot.figure(/num=None/, /figsize=None/, /dpi=None/, 
/facecolor=None/, /edgecolor=None/, /frameon=True/, /FigureClass='matplotlib.figure.Figure'>/, /**kwargs/)


   Creates a new figure.

   Parameters : 

   *num* : integer or string, optional, default: none

   If not provided, a new figure will be created, and a the figure
   number will be increamted. The figure objects holds this number
   in a number attribute. If num is provided, and a figure with
   this id already exists, make it active, and returns a reference
   to it. If this figure does not exists, create it and returns it.
   If num is a string, the window title will be set to this
   figure's num.

[Matplotlib-users] Two Scales - twinx()

[Stephen George]

Hi,

I was wanting to use dual scales on my plot and was just running the example 
code from

http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/fahrenheit_celsius_scales.html

I subsequently changed the function Tc to read

def  Tc(Tf):

 return Tf

Fully expecting the two scales to track each other perfectly.

I found after zooming the scales did not track each other.

So my question is:

Am I misunderstanding what my change should have done, or is there some error 
in the example code?

I tried this on win7 64 with:

python 2.7

numpy 1.8.0

matplotlib 1.3.1

Any suggestion welcome.

Thanks

Steve

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6.exe

[Stephen George]

Hi,

I just downloaded matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6.exe from sourceforge.

I have an existing Application that works fine with
python   : 2.5.4 final 0
pyGTK: 2.12.1
GTK+ : 2.14.7
numpy: 1.2.1
matplotlib   : 0.98.5.2


Now I am trying the same App on
python version: 2.6.0 final 0
pyGTK version : 2.12.1
gtk+ version  : 2.16.2
numpy version : 1.3.0
matplotlib version: 0.98.5.3

I got the following traceback, I'm wondering:
 - Am I looking at changes due to the different matplotlib versions?
- Are some bits are missing in the downloaded installer ?
 - or is there incompatibility with the newer versions of GTK?

importing matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\SVNproj\FrictionTests2\PyGTKFricPlot.py", line 17, in 
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK as 
FigureCanvas

Thanks for any clues

Hi Christoph,

Sorry for my delay to get back to you.

The svn version seems to work fine with GTK support, at least my 
application had no problems running

The versions I tested with are as follows:
python version: 2.6.0 final 0
numpy version: 1.3.0
matplotlib version: 0.98.6svn
gtk+ version: 2.16.2
pyGTK version: 2.12.1

Thank you
you have been a big help

Hi Jon,

To clarify, I think you need to read Christoph Gohlke original message 
(7/7/2009) to me to put my response into context:

 From that web page I downloaded 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/download/matplotlib-0.98.6svn.win32-py2.6.exe
NOTICE the version number 0.98.6svn

Then in my code I have the following lines:

from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import NavigationToolbar2GTK as 
NavigationToolbar

For your benefit I changed to the same backend as yours ( GTKAgg backend 
) and run again

My application ran successfully with both the GTKAgg and GTKCario backends.
Why don't you take the svn version for a spin, you might also have success.

Hope this has been of some help
Steve

Re: [Matplotlib-users] gtkagg backend - update behavior question

[Stephen George]

Hi Alastair,

I don't have  clue why yours doesn't work.

however I changed the following line in the update function
data[20]=data[20]+0.5

to
data = np.random.randn(100)

And it started updating the display, with new data each update.
maybe changing a single point is not seen as a big enough change?

I also may be wrong.

I thought ax.plot(..) would redraw everything (ticks, labels, etc)  to 
do with the plot.

I've been using set_data as I thought it was meant to be quicker.
self.cline[0].set_data(rX, myabs) # I have to make sure 
I use correct line
 ::  ::
self.canvas.draw()

To just change the data associated with a specific line on plot.

I stored the lines on my graph in a list called cline,  I captured the 
line at time of creating of the plot
r = self.axis.plot( rX, myabs ,self.linestyle, color='b')
self.cline.append( r[0] )

Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting in a loop

[Stephen George]

Hi,

Sorry haven't used ipython, so not sure if there is another/better 
ipython way.


Attached is how I solved it in normal python.
I added a "next line" button to the graph, and set the ydata for the 
line each time the button is pushed.


There is a couple of set_ylim lines commented out, depending on the 
nature of your data, it might be appropriate to uncomment one of those, 
however the set_aspect line may might mean the graph is very tall and 
skinny with the supplied data.


Hope that gives you some ideas for your own code.

Steve

Hello everyone,

ax1.set_aspect("equal")

for line in data:

raw_input("press enter to plot the line")

ax1.plot([line[0],line[2]],[line[1],line[3]],'b')

plt.draw()



This way I could see with pressing e.g. the return key when my 
calculations go wrong any advice?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Replotting

[Stephen George]

On 23/04/2010 10:30 AM, williamol...@comcast.net wrote:
I use pylab.plot(x,y) for exploring or debugging some functions or 
subroutines.
I would like to cycle through 2 or more plot windows, in a simple way 
that won't force me to entangle the code in bothersome ways.  But I 
can't seem to get more than one plot window to open per launch.


Here is an example of what I want to have happen:

  The program calls subroutine A, and creates a plot so that  I can 
see what it has done.
  The plot opens, and I see that A is doing what I want, then I close 
the plot window (I interactively click the close button).
  Then the program calls subroutine B, and creates another plot so I 
can check its results.

  The plot opens, I see what I want and close it.
  And so on.

But I can't figure out how to make that work.  Only one plot ever shows.

Here is a very minimal example of what I have tried:

import numpy as N
import pylab as P

x = N.linspace(0,6,100)
y = N.sin(x)

P.plot(x,y)
P.show() # At this point, I want to see what I've got, and 
then move on.


y = -y
P.plot(x,y)
P.show() # This plot will not show.

The answer for me is not to use "subplot()".  I already use that 
often.  But I want these plots to stand on their own, so that I don't 
have to entangle the different pieces of code just for some 
exploratory plotting.


I hope someone has an easy solution!
Thanks,
Bill


Hi,

I gave a solution just a couple of days ago, I believe the similar 
approach could solve this problem also

http://old.nabble.com/plotting-in-a-loop-td28306656.html

Essentially, . each time you press a button on graph (not the close 
button) you generate an event which would call an update function, you 
could farm out work to perform subroutine B here, then replot the result.

If I understand correctly the len of  X and Y will be changing, 
therefore you may have to use set_data() function of Line2D

set_data(self, *args)
Set the x and y data
ACCEPTS: (array xdata, array ydata)

I seem to remember getting a size mismatch if X and Y grew in length and 
I tried to use set_xdata() or set_ydata() separately.

YMMV

I not 100% clear what you want to achieve, however look into your 
matplotlib distribution for ticker.py

There is Formatter classes that control such things.

For example the existing ScalarFormatter, has a method set_scientific() 
to enable /disable scientific formatting. My reading of your description 
suggests this is what you are after or you might get some joy out of 
set_powerlimits()  or the argument useOffset.

If your requirements are different you may need to create your own 
formatter class.

[Matplotlib-users] Blank plots using plotting submodules

[Stephen Webb]

Hello all,

I have a python module that requires making about 24 different kinds of plots, 
and to keep things tidy I put them all in different modules, which I then 
import.

All the import calls are at the head of the top module. There is one plotting 
call inside a while loop, and it is returning blank plots saved in the proper 
location. Blank meaning no axes, so it is a totally empty .png file. After the 
loop, the first plot called is being saved, but all the subsequent plots are 
saving as blank. I begin every plotting module with matplotlib.pyplot.clf() and 
then write out the individual plotting commands.

This worked fine when everything was in one gigantic module, but I am at a loss 
for why it has stopped working once I put everything into submodules.

Thanks for your help,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplot3d: add_collection3d: Turn off baseline?

[Stephen Gibson]

Unfortunately, as you state, "edgecolors='none'"  also wipes the
(x,y) data line.

I tried adding an additional "erase" zero line, with "edgecolors='none'"
for each slice, but it seems the return path extends from
(x[0],y[0])  to (x[-1],y[-1]) via some intermediate point.

An additional blank (x[0], 0.0) to (x[-1], 0.0) does not overlap the 
baseline.


If I can determine the baseline path (coordinates) this procedure
may work.

Thanks, for your input.

You should be able to set "edgecolors='none'" or as the same color as 
the facecolors in the constructor for PolyCollection to make it 
disappear.  Unfortunately, that would apply to the entire polygon, and 
not just the part at the base.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplot3d: add_collection3d: Turn off baseline?

[Stephen Gibson]

Setting the y-values of the start and end points to zero, (x[0],0.0) and
(x[-1],0.0), forces the return baseline path to be "well defined" at y=0,
allowing it to be overlain with a second line of a neutral colour.

However, this baseline also wipes a through adjacent slice data.


= FAIL.

 ys[0], ys[-1] = 0, 0
 verts.append(list(zip(xs, ys)))

poly = PolyCollection(verts, facecolors = [cc('r'), cc('g'), cc('b'),
cc('y')])
#poly.set_alpha(0.7)
ax.add_collection3d(poly, zs=zs, zdir='y')

ax.set_xlabel('X')
ax.set_xlim3d(0, 10)
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_ylim3d(-1, 4)
ax.set_zlabel('Z')
ax.set_zlim3d(0, 1)


You should be able to set "edgecolors='none'" or as the same color as 
the facecolors in the constructor for PolyCollection to make it 
disappear.  Unfortunately, that would apply to the entire polygon, 
and not just the part at the base.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplot3d: add_collection3d: Turn off baseline?

[Stephen Gibson]

Sorry, for the repeated emails/noise.

There is in fact an option "closed=False" for not closing the path:

/class /matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection(/verts/, /sizes=None/, 
/closed=True/, /**kwargs/)


However, "closed=False" has no effect.

[Matplotlib-users] how to stop resize when adding scatter plot?

[Stephen George]

Hi,

I have an application that draws a line plot of  a spectrum. When the 
spectrum is collected different gains and filters may be used for each 
data point (which I have also collected). I am looking at artefacts in 
the spectrum and trying to correlate them with things such as the gain 
and filter changes etc.

On the application I have a number of radio buttons, when clicked will 
add a scatter plot of the datapoints but color coded by the item of 
interest.
i.e.
click the gain btn  I end up with the line plot, and each data point has 
a color coded dot whose color is keyed to the gain the data point was 
taken at.
click the filter btn  I remove the gain scatter plot, and add a filter 
scatter plot where each data point is color coded with the filter used.

This functionality work fine.

However if I am zoomed in on my graph looking at detail, then click the 
radio button, the scatter plot forces the graph to resize to once again 
show the overall intial view (zoomed out).

I am wondering how can I add the scatter plot, without changing the 
current view (zoom level) that I am currently using, but still add all 
the scatter plot data?

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Steve

Thank you very much, this does exactly what I was after.

I call this BEFORE adding my scatter plot, and the current view (zoom 
in) remains.

Much appreciated, thanks again

Re: [Matplotlib-users] error: Gtk* backend requires pygtk to be installed

[Stephen George]

Hi  Mike,

I tried to run it on windows.

Got error
D:\download\python>demo_axes_grid.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\download\python\demo_axes_grid.py", line 2, in 
from demo_image import get_demo_image
ImportError: No module named demo_image

Went looking on examples page and found there was a file name demo_image.py
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_image.html

However for whatever reason the source code was not downloadable (404 
error), so I copied it off the html page.


After that the example ran fine under windows, ... I have never 
installed anything called 'dsextras' and don't know what it is.


However it doesn't look like a gtk GUI to me., a quick check of the code 
reveals no gtk type commands or imports?
I'd be questioning your configuration of matplotlib, there should be a 
rc file somewhere, maybe you (or your distro) have set the backend to 
gtk by default?
I don't have a system here without gtk installed, that I could test 
example runs without it installed - sorry.


(what distro and what's a pip command?)

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

[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 2.5). I've also installed NumPy and SciPy for Python 2.6.
I've
 tried EasyInstall, svn, and dmg. The dmg expects Apple Python 2.6 so 
that's out. For the EasyInstall and svn routes I think I must be missing
 some external libraries? Below are some snippets of warnings/error 
messages:

from EasyInstall:
$ easy_install matplotlib

and
 in both throughout the messages there are references to "linker input 
file unused because linking not done" for
powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1
 and i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1.

I'd tried the EPD version also
 (and had it working), but then EasyInstall would direct me to their 
repositories (for which I did not have a password) so I could not download and 
install RPy2 and other modules (easily), so I decided to build up 
from individual components...

Any advice you can provide on 
helping me complete the matplotlib installation? I think after this I 
will have the basics for data analysis in Python (with NumPy and SciPy).

Thanks!
Stephen

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib with psyco

[Stephen Evans]

Hi,

While testing Psyco V2 to see if it would offer any speed improvements I 
tried it with some applications using matplotlib. Exceptions were raised 
that were easily resolved by replacing calls to min() and max() with 
their numpy equivalents numpy.amin() and numpy.amax() in the matplotlib 
code.

Simply demonstrated by inserting at the beginning of, say, matplotlib's 
examples/api/barchart_demo.py :

import psyco
psyco.full()

which caused:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "barchart_demo.py", line 29, in 
 ax.set_xticks(ind+width)
   File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axes.py", line 2064,

   File "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axis.py", line 1154, 
in set_ticks

Psyco V2 is available from: http://codespeak.net/svn/psyco/v2/dist/

Should numpy.min()/numpy.amin() be used on array like objects within 
matplotlib, or is min() adequate ? Ditto max().

(Out of interest I came across numpy ticket #1286 while looking for this 
issue.)

Sorry for my delayed response - I am currently on travel... but I hope this is

source with the option you mentioned?
Thanks so much!Stephen

For a quick check of any speedup I timed some runs on two plots using 
one of my applications with real world data. 4 runs, average of last 3, 
with some meaningless precision:

a) one subplot of 44000 points
b) two subplots of 1.4M points each

using freshly installed matplotlib 1.0

a) 2.97 seconds
b) 37.85

with psyco and changing min() max() to numpy.amin() numpy.amax() where 
appropriate in matplotlib

a) 3.05
b) 27.48

without psyco, but with the changes above

a) 2.96
b) 37.52

Not a rigorous test, but psyco causes a definite speedup in the larger 
plot. Whether this applies throughout matplotlib on all platforms is 
another matter. Hopefully anyone who is using psyco with 
numpy/matplotlib should be able to patch matplotlib themselves where 
required. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In my Win7 (64bit) I have 32 bit python 2.6 installed.

matplotlib and numpy show under the add remove program functionality

"Python 2.6 matplotlib-0.99.3"
"Python 2.6 numpy-1.4.1"

Along with heaps of other libraries I have installed

Are you sure matplotlib is installed AND working?

To remove I can only suggest you install again and then remove

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

[Stephen T .]

Hi Friedrich,
Thanks for your help. Just thought I would follow up to say that it appears to 
be working now. I am not sure what was different this time and last - my libxml 
file still points to the one with the architecture shown below, but I had come 
across this post about changing the targeted architecture called for gcc 
manually:
http://passingcuriosity.com/2009/installing-pil-on-mac-os-x-leopard/
So I had in mind to try this with the matplotlib installation, but for some 
reason the make command did not fail in error this time... as before, I had 
typed in my bash shell:
export PREFIX=~/devmake -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_install
and I am not sure why but those previous error messages never came up. So in 
the end I just included the new matplotlib directory in my python path (in 
.bash_profile):export PYTHONPATH:~/dev/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH 
and it appears to be working ok.
So sorry for all the trouble, but thanks for your time!
All the best,Stephen

Have you read the info on py2exe wiki relating to matplotlib

http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/MatPlotLib
Have a look at  section on "Backends"

The matplotlib examples api/two_scales.py & 
pylab_examples/shared_axis_demo.py may be what you require to display 
your data. Though I must admit to not having tried both at the same time :)

For extracting data my personal preference is to use the csv module with 
generators and regular expressions - keeping results in namedtuples. 
Quickly written example for your data:

# -*- mode: python tab-width: 4 coding: utf-8 -*-
# tested with Python 2.6
from future_builtins import map

import csv
import re
from collections import deque, namedtuple
import numpy as np

RowTuple = namedtuple('RowTuple', 'freq col1 col2 col3')
ColumnTuple = namedtuple('ColumnTuple', 'magnitude phase')
DequeTuple = namedtuple('DequeTuple', 'freq magnitude1 phase1 magnitude2 
phase2 magnitude3 phase3')

def readLTSpice(filename):
 # try codec.open() if not ascii
 with open(filename, 'rb') as fp:
 fp.next() # discard the first row
 for row in csv.reader(fp, delimiter='\t'):
 yield RowTuple(*row)

def splitColumn(col):
 # use a regular expression to extract floating point number
 # n.b. regular expressions are cached by the re module
 exp = re.compile(r"[+-]? *(?:\d+(?:\.\d*)?|\.\d+)(?:[eE][+-]?\d+)?")
 return ColumnTuple(*map(float, exp.findall(col)))

def processFile(filename):
 rows = readLTSpice(filename)
 rows = (RowTuple(row.freq, splitColumn(row.col1), 
splitColumn(row.col2), splitColumn(row.col3)) for row in rows)

 # if there is a large number of points then deque() is more efficient
 # than lists as there is no copying when more memory is required
 result = DequeTuple(deque(), deque(), deque(), deque(), deque(), 
deque(), deque())

 for row in rows:
 result.freq.append(row.freq)
 result.magnitude1.append(row.col1.magnitude)
 result.magnitude2.append(row.col2.magnitude)
 result.magnitude3.append(row.col3.magnitude)
 result.phase1.append(row.col1.phase)
 result.phase2.append(row.col2.phase)
 result.phase3.append(row.col3.phase)

 return result

processed = processFile('ltspice.data')

# convert to numpy arrays for use with matplotlib
freq = np.asarray(processed.freq)
magnitude1 = np.asarray(processed.magnitude1)
magnitude2 = np.asarray(processed.magnitude2)
magnitude3 = np.asarray(processed.magnitude3)
phase1 = np.asarray(processed.phase1)
phase2 = np.asarray(processed.phase2)
phase3 = np.asarray(processed.phase3)

# ready for plotting...

[Matplotlib-users] Saving image on Windows problem

[Stephen George]

Has anyone else noticed a problem when saving an image (png) on windows.
Hard to describe, .. but it seems that if there is lots of data to plot
and window size too big, or maximized, it cannot save the full plot
data stopping half way. (plot look fine on window).   Interesting
reducing the window size can get to the point where can save the full
image.

Good plot (small window size)
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~steve_geo/MatPlotLibTests/12p5KInternalIR_InputGndGood.png

Failed plot (larger window size)
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~steve_geo/MatPlotLibTests/12p5KInternalIR_InputGndFailed.png

I get the same problem on two different systems:
Windows XP & Python 2.4 & matplotlib & numarray 1.5.2
matplotlib installed from matplotlib-0.87.6.win32-py2.4.exe
matplotlibrc has 
backend  : TkAgg
numerix  : numarray  # numpy, Numeric or numarray
interactive  : False  # see 
  

Windows 2000 & Python 2.5 & matplotlib & numpy 1.0
matplotlib installed from matplotlib-0.87.7.win32-py2.5.exe
matplotlibrc has 
backend  : TkAgg
  numerix  : numpy  # numpy, Numeric or numarray
  #interactive  : False  # see http://matplotlib.s


find my data here
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~steve_geo/MatPlotLibTests/ScanDataInternalIR_GndInput.log

and the script here (only tested with numpy and numarray)
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~steve_geo/MatPlotLibTests/irplot24.py

the command to reproduce the test is 
irplot24.py --second=fft
--target=60 ScanDataInternalIR_GndInput.log

=
Also it's also interesting to note the difference in load time
(sec) of the data between numarray and numpy for the same data.
Windows 2000 & Python 2.4 & matplotlib &
numarray

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib can't find pygtk during build

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

I'm trying to build matplotlib with the GTK/GTKAgg backends but it
won't find my copy of pygtk:

mrhanky:/usr/local/src/matplotlib-0.87.7 uley$ sudo python setup.py build
GTK requires pygtk
GTKAgg requires pygtk
running build
running build_py
creating build
...

I followed the python/numpy/scipy installation method here:
http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2007-January/025368.html

I installed pygtk (2.10.3) with mac/darwinports on my mac os 10.4
ppcmachine. I edited setupext.py to look for all the libs under
/opt/local. matplotlib seems to find libjpeg, libpng, et al, but it
can't find pygtk. How can I modify matplotlib, or  how should I
install pygtk so the it builds correctly?

Thanks-
-stephen

import pygtk barfs. My python is from ActiveState (Framework) which
was recommended by the scipy people.

Here's the real saga. I had a working Fink installaiton of
python/numpy/scipy/matplotlib until an update to scipy broke critical
functions (fopen). The fix is in cvs, so this whole mess started in an
attempt to use a cvs version of scipy. So I followed the instructions
on the scipy site and in the link above. Python numpy, and scipy are
fine, but I can't get matplotlib to work with the system.

I tried wxpython2.6 first, but figure windows never got drawn on my
display, even when I used pythonw. So I tried pygtk because it worked
fine for me under fink and on my linux box. I thought I could build a
binary pygtk with darwinports and use it in my installation... I guess
not.

So here we are. What to do? I think these are my options:

1) Build a mpkg of pygtk using darwinports and install it under my
python. Is this possible?

2) Get wx working somehow. Where do I begin?

3) Cocoa backend? I didn't know there was one.

4) Go back to fink or darwinports  and fight these problems on the scipy side.

Which course do you (or anyone) recommend?

Thanks-
-stephen

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib can't find pygtk during build

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

Hmm... After the long discussion I'm trying to decide what the best
route is. If what I want is simply a stable scipy/matplotlib
installation (OS X), what is the best (most stable and predictable)
method?

BTW- What is wrong with the ActiveState python installation? It was
recommended on the scipy site.

[Matplotlib-users] wx figure window hangs w/macpython

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

I installed the pythonmac packages from
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html :

python2.4
wxpython2.6
numpy1.0.1
matplotlib-0.87.7

I called python with 'pythonw' and figure() draws a new figure window,
but it hangs.

Here are the relevant lines from my matplotlibrc file:

 CONFIGURATION BEGINS HERE ---
backend  : WXAgg
numerix  : numpy  # numpy, Numeric or numarray
interactive  : True  # see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html
#toolbar  : toolbar2   # None | classic | toolbar2
#timezone : UTC# a pytz timezone string, eg US/Central or
Europe/Paris
#datapath : /home/jdhunter/mpldata

Is this a misconfigured rc file? Or, should I be using ipython to
handle the gui stuff?

If I use ipython, what's the best way to install? From source? Python egg?

Thanks

[Matplotlib-users] Getting resize_event to work

[Stephen George]

Trying to get resize event to work, but either I don't understand the 
definition of when resize_event should work, or  it's broken.

for example
===
from matplotlib import pylab , numerix

def GotResizeEvent( event ):
print 'Resize event detected'

def GotDrawEvent( event ):
print 'Draw event detected'

X = range(0, 200)
Y = pylab.sin(X)

r = pylab.plot(X,Y)
pylab.connect( 'resize_event', GotResizeEvent)
pylab.connect( 'draw_event', GotDrawEvent)
pylab.show()
=
Will only get draw_events as I zoom in on the data, never a resize event?
I also get draw_events as I resize the window itself, but never a 
resize_event.

So my question, .. what user activity triggers a resize event?

Numerix Version: numpy 1.0
MatPlotLib Version: 0.87.7

[Matplotlib-users] trig plot from event?

[Stephen George]

I have two plots.

first one is velocity data from servo controller (freq)  - plant 
reciprocates back and forth so we got turn data in there as well
second one is psd  (power spectral density) so we can see where we got 
resonances etc.

When we zoom in on on section of first plot (say the forward movement), 
I'd like to recalc the psd with only the data that's been zoomed in on.

Everything kind of works except for somewhere to trigger from.

I had thought of trying resize_event - however I cannot get this 
working- see other post.

I played with button_release_event to get the code basically working, 
however that event occurs before the first graph gets resized, so the 
region I am calculating the psd on is wrong, maybe because I am using
xlim = myAxis.get_xlim()
to find the limits of the first graph (which hasn't been re-drawn yet)

Is there some way I can hook the re-calc/draw of psd to the zooming of 
first graph?

Previously with 2 plot commands, I have used subplot(212, sharex=p1), to 
hook the two graphs together on the xaxis
however as the second graph is a psd I don't know how to hook the psd 
input data to the xaxis of the first graph.


Thanks
Steve

Re: [Matplotlib-users] trig plot from event?

[Stephen George]

Creating a 'simplified' example (not really) to demonstrate the problem

Zoom in on one of the constant speed movements.(upper graph)

psd (lower graph) will still be showing spectrum of whole data file.

click 'n release  any mouse button in the upper graph, and only then 
will the lower graph redraw with the new limits.


zoom out, try again on other constant speed movement.

how to get lower graph to redraw on new limits after the zoom, without 
having to click the upper graph again?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] problems building/installing

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

Hello Simon-

I have experimented with every conceivable python/numpy/mpl
permutation on mac os and I will second Chris Barker's recommendation.
Use the pythonmac.org packages with the wx backend. Choose whichever
version of wx and python that is best supported my the mpl version.

I use mpl v 0.87, wx 2.6. and python 2.4 on my ppc mac.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib 0.90.0 on OS-X with wxPython2.8.3

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

Just to be clear, the installation order is:

1) install python2.5 from macpython.
2) remove wxagg.so
3) install wxpython frim macpython
4) install numpy/mpl from macpython

Correct?

One more question:

What impact does disabling the "accelerator" have? Will this slow down
plotting in some situations?

[Matplotlib-users] help with fonts in legends

[Stephen Boulet]

I wanted to use this code to set the label font in my legends:

from pylab.font_manager import fontManager, FontProperties
font = FontProperties(size='x-small')
legend(legends,prop=font)

but I'm getting "ImportError: No module named font_manager".

Can someone help me set legend size? Thanks.

[Matplotlib-users] get_xlim() - where am I going wrong

[Stephen George]

Hi,

I have 2 graphs on one figure.
Graph one - subplot(2,1,1)velocities vs  ( Time or SampleIndex) 
depending in input args
Graph two - subplot(2,1,2)   psd() - power spectrum to help us find the 
resonances in velocities

As system goes through a number of different states, the resonances 
change during the cycle, so I need to zoomIn GraphOne to an area of 
interest, then re-calc the power spectrum on that portion of data only.

I have something that works in the xaxis=SampleIndex scenario, but fails 
in the xaxis=Time scenario, I am wondering if I am going about it the 
right way.

The following page has 4 graphs that show what I have working now (2 
graphs of velocity vs SampleNo), and the failing case (2 graphs of 
Velocity Vs Time)
*http://tinyurl.com/2xpyly
*
I'll describe what I got.

I connected my function RecalcPowerSpectrum  to ReleaseButton event
pylab.connect( 'button_release_event', RecalcPowerSpectrum)


It's ugly and crude, but if GraphOne is a velocity vs sampleIndex, the 
following works.
My issues start when you look at how I am slicing (if thats the right 
word) the array I pass into psd() and where those values come from.

def RecalcPowerSpectrum( event ): 
global myAxis
global lastXstart
global lastXend

xlim = myAxis.get_xlim()

xstart = int(xlim[0])
xend = int(xlim[1])
   
if xstart != lastXstart or xend != lastXend:
print '%s event detected, re-calc power spectrum' % event.name
lastXstart, lastXend = xstart, xend
lastXlimits = xlim
print 'xlim1 =', xstart
print 'xlim2 =', xend   
pylab.cla()
if secondGraph == 'fft':# (plot UDR1 points)
Fs = 2 * targetvel
fftdata = pylab.psd(vel[2*xstart:2*xend], NFFT=winsize, 
Fs=Fs, detrend=pylab.mlab.detrend_linear, 
window=pylab.mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=overlap)
else: #must be a fft2 (plot UDR2 points)
Fs = targetvel
fftdata = pylab.psd(combined[xstart:xend], NFFT=winsize, 
Fs=Fs, detrend=pylab.mlab.detrend_linear, 
window=pylab.mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=overlap)


This fails when I run my program to plot with xaxis in time as the 
values returned by get_xlim() are small (0.46408074411240841, 
0.53334652681575301), once I int() these values they are both 0

Clearly I am trying to work with the wrong values. I actually want to 
get the indexes of these values. So I can pass the proper slice of the 
original array into the psd function.


So my questions.
1) Is there a way to get the indexes (not the values) of the portion of 
the line actually showing on screen
2) Is there a way to get a copy of the portion of the data displayed on 
screen (in a new array) ?
3) Is there a better way of linking psd so it performs the spectrum 
analysis only on the portion of data on screen?

*
*Thanks for your help
Steve

Re: [Matplotlib-users] get_xlim() - where am I going wrong

[Stephen George]

Hi John,

This is absolutely fantastic, does everything I want, 1/2 hr after 
getting to work, I had it up and running in my application.

I do have a question though.

I had not seen mention of SpanSelector before in documentation.
And I do feel confusion about where to find the best documentation.

I look on the web site, and I can see a pylab API 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/pylab_commands.html
I can see another page with MatPlotLib interface  
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-cla
both of which make no mention of SpanSelector

After seeing you use this command I had another look on web site and saw 
a link to API (pdf)  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api.pdf
Which does have a section on SpanSelector

I did a search on the Wiki and couldn't find an entry for SpanSelector

On the forums I have heard about an OO interface.

I am Sooo confused where I should go and look for documentation now, 
 how can I learn little gems like this?, Which interface should I use?

Love using MatPlotLib/pylab, whatever it's called, I've found it quick 
to get something up and running, the forums are great for snippets of info
and I would love to get a deeper understanding of the capabilities of 
this tool.

Thanks
Steve

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting filled circles

[Stephen George]

Hi,

being a newbie myself, .. I don't know if I'm misguiding you. But do 
wonder if you looked at the scatter command
see scatter_demo2.py on
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html for an example

It *seems* like it already does what you are trying to do?, maybe I'm 
missing something in my understanding.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Small negative values causing graph breaks?

[Stephen George]

Hi Joshua,

As you can see from the attached graph, there is a break the in graph 
somewhere around 7 AM or so.  This is the data I am graphing for that red 
line:


"2007-10-09 00:00:00",0.015
"2007-10-09 01:00:00",0.015
"2007-10-09 02:00:00",0.014
"2007-10-09 03:00:00",0.012
"2007-10-09 04:00:00",0.008
"2007-10-09 05:00:00",0.002
"2007-10-09 06:00:00",-0.006
  


If I change the -0.006 at 6:00AM to 0.006, it graphs with no break in the 
line. 

Can not comment on Matplotlib, ... but what method are you using the
process your input?
RegEx or other ?, can it handle negative input?

The attached script has missing data points where the data point in None

Don't know if that helps
Steve

To compare two histograms you can plot a bihistogram as suggested on
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/bihistog.htm

The little function I've written to do so is below. See if it helps.

Antonio



import scipy
from pylab import figure

def bihist(y1, y2, nbins=10, h=None):
'''
Bihistogram.
h is an axis handle. If not present, a new figure is created.
'''
if h is None: h = figure().add_subplot(111)
xmin = scipy.floor(scipy.minimum(y1.min(), y2.min()))
xmax = scipy.ceil(scipy.maximum(y1.max(), y2.max()))
bins = scipy.linspace(xmin, xmax, nbins)
n1, bins1, patch1 = h.hist(y1, bins)
n2, bins2, patch2 = h.hist(y2, bins)
# set ymax:
ymax = 0
for i in patch1:
height = i.get_height()
if height > ymax: ymax = height
# invert second histogram and set ymin:
ymin = 0
for i in patch2:
height = i.get_height()
height = -height
i.set_height(height)
if height < ymin: ymin = height
h.set_ylim(ymin*1.1, ymax*1.1)  
h.figure.canvas.draw()

[Matplotlib-users] Adding another control to navigation bar

[Stephen George]

I don't know if I dreamed it or was real, but I recall seeing somewhere 
that it was possible to add a control to the navigation bar, but now 
cannot seem to find any reference to this.

Is is possible to add a control to the navigation bar? (I want to add a 
drop down box)
I am using pyGtk, can add to somewhere else in my form, .. but it makes 
logical sense if it is on the navigation bar.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

[Matplotlib-users] eggs or pythonmac packages on OS X?

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

I'm running MacPython 2.5 on Mac OS 10.5.1 and would like to update
matplotlib to 0.91.1. Im using mpl 0.90.1 from the pythonmac site now.
Is it better for me to wait till a pythonmac package is availabel or
are the eggs on SF good to use. I would favor the SF eggs because of
ease of upgrading unless there are some OS X conflicts I'm unaware of.

If I use the eggs, what's the best way to safely uninstall the
pythonmac package? Just delete the relevant site-packages durectory?

Thanks-
-stephen

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib ignores CocoAff backend preference

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

I just started playing with the CocoaAgg backend in mpl 0.90.1
w/pyobjc 1.4 and matplotlib uses the 'backend' line in the rc file
just fine. However, it doesn't seem to work well in interactive mode
using ipython 0.8.1 (control is not returned to the shell after
plotting).

[Matplotlib-users] CocoaAgg backend status?

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

I was just wondering what the status of the CocoaAgg backend is since
there is not much info available.

Can it be used interactively w/ipython?

Can it be used to embed mpl in a cocoa app and take advantage of all
the xcode/interface builder stuff in OS X?

Thanks-
-stephen

Does this mean that the only difference between the egg and pythonmac
version is how it's linked against Tcl/Tk?

Just for my edification, why can't the egg version be linked
against/include a different Tcl/Tk?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] CocoaAgg backend status?

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

Thanks for the background Barry.

I was asking because I have a bit of image processing/analysis code
(numpy/mpl/pil) that I would like to build a GUI front-end for. As I
am a recent convert to the osx world, I thought it would be very slick
to be able to do this with the xcode/IB tools. Since this is not
high-priority work right now, I'll stick with wx for now. I will be
interested to see how your Quartz backend comes along.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] pylab.save() File Name Syntax

[Stephen George]

Hi Rich,

bit confused what your asking.
are you looking for the pylab API savefig
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pyplot.html#-savefig

or you asking how to convert your variable+.png into a filename?
is your variable a number?, string?

for count in range(3):
count = count +1
fname = 'MyPlot_%d.png' %count
print fname

mystr = 'MyFirstPlot'
fname = '%s.png' % mystr
print fname

results in
 >python -u "test.py"
MyPlot_1.png
MyPlot_2.png
MyPlot_3.png
MyFirstPlot.png
 >Exit code: 0


pylab.savefig('%s.png'% curVar)
   or
pylab.savefig('%d.png'% curVar)


Does anything here help?
Steve

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Help with matpoltlib

[Stephen George]

Hi Olusina,

I guess you have specific reason to prefer to use python2.4 and not 
install matplotlib into python2.5

I also have 2 versions installed on my computer, .. only one will work 
directly from the command line, the first one found on the path.

however whenever I want to run a test against Version2.4 I can do that 
by calling the interpretor directly and pass the script name

from command prompt
c:\python24\python myscript.py

or if you want to run the interpretor interactively
D:\>
D:\>c:\python24\python
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Strange Plotting Behavior When Extremely Zoomed

[Stephen George]

Hi Sunzen,

I also get similar results as you. - always have

'extremely zoomed' means I pick a corner of your staircase, and zoom in 
on the corner multiple times, each time no bigger than the cross hairs 
of the cursor.

If I don't get the blocked out triangles I get the data changing direction

i.e. if looking at

   |
---

I might see
---or  |__  or  __|  
   |

I've seen similar results with other graphic toolset (not python based)

I feel it something to do with zooming in beyond the resolution of the 
underlying system (no evidence of this)

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib version info

[Stephen Uhlhorn]

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I'm having trouble
finding the answer--

What version of matplotlib is compatible with numpy 1.0 (final)? Or,
should I continue to use numpy-1.0rc2 w/ mpl 0.87.7? I'm building from
source on mac os using fink, and have had no trouble until numpy
1.0rc3 came out.

[Matplotlib-users] Changing markers on line

[Stephen George]

Have a lot of data, and when looking at full view I'd like no markers, 
but when zoom in to see individual points I'd like to place markers on 
the graph.
Planing on attaching some code to events to toggle markers on my line.
Is there a way to change the markers a line uses after it has been 
plotted, or do I have to clear the plot and replot?

Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks
Steve

[Matplotlib-users] Basemap with origin within the plot

[Pascoe, S (Stephen)]

I am trying to prepare a plot on the UK national grid.  This is a transverse 
mercator projection centred on the UK with a false origin offset from the 
projection origin (lat_0, lon_0).

The Basemap coordinate system origin (0 Easting and Northing) always seems to 
be set in the lower-left corner of the plot.  The plot I need includes data 
either side of the origin so I need the origin within the plot area.

Is there a general way of setting the origin somewhere other than the 
lower-left corner?

I can either get basemap to plot the correct data region, in which case the 
origin is in the wrong place or I can fool Basemap by adjusting the axes bounds 
later.  However, if I do this some of the coastline isn't plotted because 
Basemap decides it isn't on the map.

Cheers,
Stephen.
