Re: [Matplotlib-users] imshow and projections

2008-09-09 Thread Erik Tollerud
I tried pcolor, but it seems to have much higher memory usage ... the data set I'm using renders the map using contourf(x,y,z,100) relatively quickly (~10 sec) and with reasonable memory usage, and will imshow(z) even faster (although, as I said, without projection) , but pcolor(x,y,z) fails with a

Hello. I made a figure from the Postscript backend. Everything works fine except the fontweight property. I tried to set fontweight="bold" in both pylab.suptitle and pylab.text, but both of them remains in normal weight. What makes it worse is, if the title is "ubuntu-desktop", in the .ps fil

Well, I've figured out half of it: the RGB data appears to be in ._segmentdata, an RGB-keyed dictionary of tuples of triples, but, looking at this for the jet cmap, e.g., I'm confused, 'cause the red and and blue tuples have five such triples, but the green tuple has six triples, so how exactly

Thanks, John and Michael. Yeah, Michael, that's what I'm doing now, but eventually (like, now) I'd like to do what John implies is possible, i.e., "invert" a cm back to its RGB table - John (or anyone) can you short-cut the learning process for me w/ a code example of how to do this? :-) Thank

pcolormesh is outputting the data as vectors, since the mesh can be non-rectilinear, that's really the only thing that PDF supports. Besides, that's the only way to get a truly resolution-independent PDF. Since imshow is limited to uniform, rectilinear images, and PDF has built-in support for

Hi, In a previous email I pointed out that I was having problems with pcolormesh output as a PDF: the files are really big and impractical even for smallish arrays (1000x1000 pixels). I don't have that problem using imshow, which presumably resamples the image or somesuch wizardry :) Here's an e

You're right: multi-column legends aren't implemented. There have been a number of points raised lately around the layout of legends (such as baseline alignment), that are starting to add up to a push for a (partial) rewrite of the legend code. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has stepped u
