[Matplotlib-users] Plotting errorbars with a color range / map

2009-08-06 Thread keflavich
I'd like to color-code an errorbar plot with colors determined by a 3rd array. I know how to do this with the 'scatter' task, but it does not appear to be possible with the 'errorbar' command. I think it is possible to set the colors of a collection to an array of colors, but I'm not very clear

OK, thanks. I don't really know why it's failing, but I'm going to continue trying to get other backends installed to test them. I also now have independent reasons not to use the MacOSX backend: Thu Jul 2 14:51:48 Python-64[56094] : CGContextSetLineDash: invalid dash array: negative lengths

[Matplotlib-users] ipython threading fails with macosx backend

2009-07-02 Thread keflavich
Hi, I'm using ipython 0.9.1 with the svn version of matplotlib on 64 bit python on mac os x 10.5.7. I have only been able to get python-64 running with the MacOSX backend; all of the others (wxpython, gtk, qt, tk) have failed for one reason or another. I've tried ipython without any flags and

[Matplotlib-users] subplots with no space between limited to 6x6?

Hi, I'm trying to make a large grid of subplots with no spacing between. The following code fails for any grid size larger than 6x6 by skipping a row and a column. for i in xrange(1,65): subplot(8,8,i) plot( [0,1] ) subplots_adjust(hspace=0,wspace=0) Is there a way around this probl

Since there don't seem to be any forthcoming answers, I have a somewhat different question. In the matplotlib FAQ, it states that using 'show()' puts you in the GUI mainloop (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#use-show). However, using plot commands on the ipython command line

So, as the Matplotlib help page suggests, working through a test problem helped me narrow down my problem... but it still hasn't solved it. If I set ioff() at the main level, rather than in a function I call, it works. However, when I show() the plot, the code halts until I close it, which is no

Hi, I'm trying to plot a series of ~30-50 small plots, each of which contains 3 plots of ~10-20 points (one plot is data, one plot is errorbars, one plot is a model fit). I've tried using GtkAgg and Qt4Agg as backends, and both are extremely slow - they take ~5-10 seconds for the first plot windo
