[Matplotlib-users] figure window coordinates

2011-02-23 Thread Jack Sankey
Hi everyone! Is there any backend-independent way to get and set the figure window coordinates and sizes (i.e. in pixels)? Currently when I make new plots they appear in random locations as determined by my operating system; during analysis when I'm making and destroying a lot of plot windows I

[Matplotlib-users] The vertical part of y error bars. Where are they?

2009-07-14 Thread Jack Sankey
Hello, I'm writing a script that removes data from plots by looping over axes.get_lines(), removing data, then using axes.set_lines(). It works quite well, but when it's a plot with error bars, the vertical part of the error bar is not disappearing. I'm assuming the vertical part is a vline or

[Matplotlib-users] I'm wrecked

2008-08-21 Thread Jack Sankey
I'm not sure if this is a matplotlib issue or what, but all of a sudden I was not able to do gca() or gcf() correctly. A simple command-line on pyshell (using wxAgg backend) went like this: import pylab pylab.plot([1,2,1]) # figure pops up pylab.gca().clear(); pylab.show() # nothing happens

Re: [Matplotlib-users] help?

without a problem. I suspect pylab.show() is responsible. It doesn't cause the whole figure window to flicker when it updates, so I wager it's doing something smarter than me. Consider me a convert. :) Thanks! -Jack On Jan 18, 2008 9:28 AM, Jack Sankey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Mike, Thanks

Re: [Matplotlib-users] mouse coordinate precision in figures

2008-01-05 Thread Jack Sankey
Thanks guys! You can also just skip a step and go: gca().fmt_xdata = str gca().fmt_ydata = str :) I changed it in Axes.py. It would be cool if there was something in matplotlibrc, but now that I understand how it works, it's no biggy to me. Take care, Jack On Jan 4, 2008 9:18 AM, John Hunter

[Matplotlib-users] mouse coordinate precision in figures

2007-12-22 Thread Jack Sankey
Hello, When you make a figure and move the mouse around inside the axes, the x- and y-values appear in the status bar. Is there a way to change the precision of this data? It's only tracking 3 significant figures and I need more (say you're zoomed in on some data with a large offset). Is there a
