[Matplotlib-users] Change the size of the plotted 'o's ?

2010-02-26 Thread mikey
Hi there, I've just made script for displaying discrete data clustered in boxes on my graph. The plots are plotted with plt.plot(x,y,'o') and the 'o's seem a reasonable size on screen but when I render it to file they look huge so I'd like to reduce their size. Does anyone know how this is done?

SVN trunk has support for mathtext as symbol markers -- plot(range(10), linestyle='None', marker=r'$\clubsuit$') We could support arbitrary (non-math) text, too, fairly easily. We just need to invent a syntax for it. Mike Gökhan Sever wrote: > Thanks Mike. The Greek symbols become visible w

Thanks Mike. The Greek symbols become visible when I make the changes as you suggested. DejaVu Sans has been installed in my system (Fedora 12).

offset_copy is still available, but unfortunately doesn't work with the cookbook example because of a bug that was inadvertently introduced into matplotlib. The bug is that offset_copy should have been defined as: def offset_copy(trans, fig=None, x=0.0, y=0.0, units='inches'): instead of:

Dear all, One of the great advantages of the current mplot3d design is that it produces complete vector based graphics with the same look-and-feel as your 2d plots. Integration with OpenGL will certainly change this, as the rendering will always give you (as far as I know) a bitmap. I think this i
