[Matplotlib-users] zorder with twinx grid

2009-01-18 Thread Olle EngdegÄrd
Hi, Does the zorder work between twin axis? I can't get lines on the first axis to be on top of the second grid: plot([20,30], [0, 5], color=red, lw=5, zorder=10) ax2=twinx() grid(ls=-, lw=5, zorder=-1) ax2.set_axisbelow(True) title(Why doesn't the read line go above the second axis?)

[Matplotlib-users] plot a data stream with matplotlib

2009-01-18 Thread Simone Gabbriellini
Dear List, I have some variables I want to plot... the values of those variable change in time... I would like to plot the result with a traditional line plot those variables are traits of a class (don't know if this can make a difference...) is there any example of this with matplotlib? best

twinx makes a separate axes and zorders are only meaningful within a same axes. Because ax2 is added to the figure later than the original axes, artists in ax2 are always above others. I don't think there is an easy way to make zorder work between several axes, unless you somehow merge them into

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Scale subplot plots?

2009-01-18 Thread Jae-Joon Lee
I'm afraid that you may not be able to do those with the subplot. If you want a fixed size axes, you need to manually calculate the axes position (in normalized figure coordinates) using the figure size. You may use my helper class which support a fixed-size axes.

thanks, it is exactly what I need... I have undestood the logic, I build a plot, put my traits values into an array and then I call the add_current_state_to_plot function to update the plot with the new values... I am an absolute beginner of matplotlib, can you give me a little example of

Could you provide an example of code you've written that highlights this and a more specific description of what you mean by coming out poorly? Josh On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 11:51 PM, Gideon Simpson simp...@math.toronto.edu wrote: Has anyone else noticed that when using latex with the OS X
