[Matplotlib-users] gtkagg backend - update behavior question

2009-11-27 Thread Alastair McKinley
Hi everyone, I am a new matplotlib user building a simple visualization tool. I was having some issues with the graph not redrawing and I think I have reduced it to a minimal case that doesn't work as expected for me. In the example below one of the data elements is changed on every iteration of

[Matplotlib-users] axis on top for barh plot

2009-11-27 Thread Mike Anderson
Hi, How can I put the bottom axis on top (or on top AND on bottom) for a barh plot? I'm trying to mimic this, made with gnuplot: http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/cmsprod/dCacheUserUsage.png within matplotlib, and I've come close, http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cms/comp/cmsprod/diskUserUsage.png

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 chan

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Large figure sizes get squashed or clipped?

2009-11-27 Thread Michiel de Hoon
I think the best solution to this problem is to have scroll bars in the figure window if needed. Depending on the size of the figure (in physical units), the size of the window containing the figure, and the zoom factor the scroll bars would appear or disappear. This would require some modificat
