[Matplotlib-users] How should I plot clustered data?

I am trying to use matplotlib (for the first time) to graph the address space usage of an application against time. The data is written to a log file by trace statements throughout the source code of the application. The trace statements contain the current address space usage as well as a tim

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Auto-wrapping text within a plot... Is there a simpler solution?

For whatever it's worth, after a lot of wrangling, I think I solved most of my problems (though perhaps not in the most efficient way). In case anyone else is looking for similar functionality, here's a callback function that will autowrap text objects to the inside of the axis they're plotted in,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Shadowed Text?

You may use annotate with which you can specify offsets. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html?highlight=annotate#matplotlib.pyplot.annotate Or, you may consider to use the path_effect (available w/ v1.0). http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/patheffect_demo.

[Matplotlib-users] Shadowed Text?

Hello, I am placing a text object in a place where the background is sometimes dark and sometimes light, so the text is hard to see. Adding a background to the text object itself looks a bit ugly, so I am wondering if there is a way to add a shadow to the text itself. What's the best way to do th

A quick (and not safe) way w/ mpl v1.0 is, ax = plt.subplot(111) ax.plot(np.arange(3)) ax.set_xticks([0, 0.5, 1., 1.5, 2.]) mytick = ax.xaxis.majorTicks[2] mytick._apply_params(tickdir="out") I don't think there is a way to do this only using public apis. I myself actually p

However, they are still in Gaussian Grids, but at least I have it assembled into netcdf files! I'll follow up on a post about the conversion. but I woul

Thanks Ben! I guess where I am with this now is that I have found, as you say, the VGTYP in the operational products (the *sflux* grib files), but I don't find it on any of the 0.5 x 0.5 degree files. Which means, that as you say, I'll have to figure out how to reproject the data from the Gaussian

Personally I used show() yesterday, and it blocks the execution until the figure's window is closed. It is of perfect convenience I think, as a default behavior. However, I would like to add an option to show() like eg : > show( save_image = True , format = 'eps' ) As it permits to mix the two b

Hello. It is stated that show() should be the last function in a script, as long as it will stop the execution of the program. Nevertheless, I have seen that the current behavior is just a pause in the flow, and it will be restored when the window is closed. The documentation says: "Many users a
