[Matplotlib-users] plotting collections on an X date axes

2009-01-11 Thread Simson Garfinkel
Hi. It's me again, asking about dates again. is there any easy way to a collection using dates on the X axes? I've taken the collection example from the website and adopted it so that there is a use_dates flag. Set it to False and spirals demo appears. Set it to True and I get this error:

Hi, I am cross-posting this from wxPython users list since the demo is an example wxPython app with embedded matplotlib objects. To the wxpython / matplotlib community: I wanted to share the enclosed "Fourier Demo" GUI, which is a reimplementation of one of the very first MATLAB GUIs that I wor

Thanks for the explanation Eric. Now it makes sense. As pcolor does not allow interpolation, my last chance is to use imshow but that creates another issue as it allows only one argument (z) not 3 (x,y,z) as pcolor or contourf and it will display the whole dataset instead of the zoomed area. Is th

How do you install the high and full resolution coastline datasets? I've tried simply downloading them from the internet from http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html and copying them into the basemap data directory but this didn't work. David ---

When plotting the same ocean data with contourf or pcolor I noticed a difference at the edge between ocean area and the land where there is no data. Basically, contourf is trimming from the edge and when using basemap you can see the underlying fill color. Is this normal behaviour or am I doing so
