Not sure, as I don't use basemap too often, but I bet calling: m.drawmapboundary(fill_color='w') before clabel would do the trick Cheers, Jody > On Dec 9, 2014, at 16:35 PM, Sappy85 wrote: > > Hi @all, > the problem seems to be solved. Thanks Jody! > What i have done: > > 1.) check out

Hi @all, the problem seems to be solved. Thanks Jody! What i have done: 1.) check out the xlim and ylim after clabel call *xmin, xmax = plt.xlim() # return the current xlim ymin, ymax = plt.ylim() # return the current ylim print xmin,xmax print ymin,ymax* 2.) use and set these limits before cl

Hi Jody, i have posted the code. Here again: import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap import pygrib filename = "file.grib2" grbs = pygrib.open('/data/' + filename) grb= grbs[2] data = grb.values datac

I meant plt.xlim and plt.ylim. But its hard to tell what the problem is w/o some sample code. Cheers, Jody > On Dec 5, 2014, at 1:07 AM, Sappy85 wrote: > > Hi Jody, > > what exactly du you mean - the plot windows size? > > I tried this: > fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8.4,5.76)) > > But sti

Hi Jody, what exactly du you mean - the plot windows size? I tried this: fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8.4,5.76)) But still the same problem. Regards -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Pyplot-contour-plot-clabel-padding-tp44554p44557.html Sent from the mat

Hi Your code wans't included, but try setting your x and y limits *before* the call to clabel. I think that the problem is that clabel makes a space in the contours according to how large your font is, but if you then resize the plot (zoom in) then the blank space is too large for the labels.

[Matplotlib-users] Pyplot contour plot - clabel padding

2014-12-04 Thread Sappy85
I have trouble with matplotlib / pyplot / basemap. I plot contour lines (air pressure) on a map. I use clabel to show the value of the contour lines. But the problem: the padding between the value and the contour line is too much. I have found the parameter "inline_spacing", which i have set to zer
