[Matplotlib-users] text height without ascender and descender

Is it possible to teach matplotlib to calculate text heights without ascender and descender? If I use a comma to print decimal values (german notation) it looks awful but the center of gravity is not the median. Matplotlib use the center of the full text height (included ascender and descender

[Matplotlib-users] using matplotlib on a server

Hi, I am trying to use matplotlib on a server which I don't run without it installed. I tried untarring it to a folder in the path of PYTHONPATH and using it directly without any luck. Has anyone successfully installed matplotlib and its dependencies under a user account? Cheers, -- PMatos

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib is slow

Hello everyone, I would like to draw the attention on the slow startup of matplotlib. Indeed, running matplotlib takes a long time. I performed the following sequence : ```bash #!/bin/bash for i in * ; do python2 -c from temp import * ; plot_(\${i}\) ; done ``` with temp.py like this :

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib is slow

I would recommend running the import in the Python profiler to determine where most of the time is going. When I investigated this a few years back, it was mainly due to loading the GUI toolkits, which are understandably quite large. You can avoid most of that by using the Agg backend. If

Re: [Matplotlib-users] usetex = True + eps output - letters are only curves

Set the ps.fonttype to 42, which will embed the entire font. ps.fonttype = 3 (the default) subsets the font to only the characters used in the plot, and stores them as curves for maximum portability. Mike From: Lebostein [lebost...@gmx.de] Sent: Friday,

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib figures missing text

It could be that matplotlib is not finding any fonts on your system for some reason. It would be useful to know whether any of the examples on the matplotlib website work for you, or it is something specific to your plot code. Do you have any non-default settings in your matplotlibrc? Mike

[Matplotlib-users] How to set the number of digits of the ticks?

Hello all I am tryint to plot the ticks in scientific notation, and I would like to set the tick size to 2 digits (i.e. 0.5 x e-7). Instead, I am either loosing the scientific notation or getting the scientific notation with a number of too many decimal positions. The problem is that my numbers

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib.test() no errors, but $nosetest matplotlib.tests - errors and failure?

Blast from the past! I just ran into this and it comes from the fact that 'matplotlib.tests.test_text' is not in the default_test_modules variable inside matplotlib's __init__.py Here's the necessary diff: index 82633a5..649e4d8 100644 --- a/lib/matplotlib/__init__.py +++

[Matplotlib-users] get bboxes of bars in data coordinates

I need to get the bboxes for time-range bars (matplotlib.patches.Rectangle objects) on a bar plot for a custom autoscaling function. Right now, I get them like this, where rectObj = a bar and bboxes = a list of bboxes: bboxes.append(rectObj.get_path().get_extents()) print 'bboxes is: ', bboxes

Re: [Matplotlib-users] get bboxes of bars in data coordinates

I should add, I can see that (I think) this needs to use a transform to get it in data coordinates, because if I do this to each rectObj (each bar): trans = rectObj.get_patch_transform() print 'trans is: ', trans I get: trans is: BboxTransformTo(Bbox(array([[ 734189.52541214, 730844.
