[Matplotlib-users] Legend labels - interaction with functions

2008-05-22 Thread David Simpson
This is probably my lack of knowledge of python, but how do I set up legend labels for some bar-plots that have been produced inside a function. For example, the following will nicely plot my bar-plots, but then legend doesn't know about the colours used, so here just uses black for both labels.

[Matplotlib-users] prctile not interpolating

I would like to find percentiles, with interpolation where needed, but the matplotlib prctile seems to be different to matlab in this respect: In [1]: x = array([ 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 11.0 ]) In [2]: median(x) Out[2]: 7.5 In [3]: prctile(x,50) Out[3]: 8.0 is there a function available whi

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Forcing full value on axis (Dave Simpson)

2007-04-25 Thread David Simpson
I also had some trouble with exponents in an axis, getting 0.0 to 3.0 on the axis, with +1.998e3. I wanted the years 1998 to 2001 instead. I solved this using the following code (with the solution bits commented out): #!/usr/bin/env python from pylab import * # from matplotlib.ticker import Format

[Matplotlib-users] Changing size of legends with multiple plots

2007-03-20 Thread David Simpson
Hi! I'm trying to do a few plots in one figure using subplot, but the size of the legends isn't changing as I try to add more plots. I have found out how to change the size the hard-coded way, but is there any way I can get the legend to know how large it should be? For example, with the following
