Thank you very much. You have just made me a much happier grad student. I hope this answer gets added to the FAQ! -- Randolph Fritz design machine group, architecture department, university of washington rfr...@u.washington.edu -or- rfritz...@gmail.com On 2010-03-02 18:23:24 -0800, Jae-Joon Le

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar Photometry Plots?

The current implementation of PolarAxes does not support that. However, you can workaround this easily using a custom axes. In http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_demo.html Instead of ax = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8], polar=True, axisbg='#d5de9c') use following

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar Photometry Plots?

You can see an example on the second page of .  Scroll down.  The plot is next to the table titled, "candlepower summary."  It's a quadrant rather than a full circle, and it's clipped to a box, but it's still a polar plot. The only problem I have with

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polar Photometry Plots?

Do you have any link to an example plot? I googled it but not much luck. Is it like a polar plot without the bottom half? Regards, -JJ On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 1:48 AM, R Fritz wrote: > I'd like to be able to generate type C photometry plots with > matplotlib. The standard co-ordinate system for

[Matplotlib-users] Polar Photometry Plots?

I'd like to be able to generate type C photometry plots with matplotlib. The standard co-ordinate system for these has 0 degrees at the bottom (nadir) of the plot, with values increasing counterclockwise. Is there anyway I can transform the co-ordinates that matplotlib uses to do this? -- Rand
