Hi, I am trying to put a sphere (rather than circles or disks) as markers for a
plot. I am a newbiew so I tried the poor man approach: I plotted several circles
one over the other for each point to mimic a sphere (looking it from very far).
It kind of worked, except that all are not exactly the same and they distort
when I change the aspect ratio of the plot. I am attaching two figures
to show what I mean.
I looked around in the mailing list and searched all over the web but did not
find nothing mentioned. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
	Juan

I think it would help if you can also specify what version of ipython
and matplotlib you're using, as long as what backend is configured to
be used.

I think this is something related to the graphical backend used, or
maybe a mixture from the default one and the one set by hand in this
session.

Friends,
I started pylab with ipython -pylab

After some time, i did

In [21]: import matplotlib
Warning: Timeout for mainloop thread exceeded
switching to nonthreaded mode (until mainloop wakes up again)

Why this warning comes ?

Even when i exit with ctrl + d, the shell is still remaining.

Thanks,
Bala

Thanks both of you. Works nicely.

I was also looking for line thickness, so:

for l in ax.get_xticklines() + ax.get_yticklines():
    l.set_markersize(10)
    l.set_markeredgewidth(10)

Has a slightly blurry edge at that size, but does the job.

Cheers,

Jon.

There are several options in matplotlib config file (on Debian it's
/etc/matplotlibrc, but you can have also a user specific one) you can
use to configure the ticks style, for example:

#xtick.major.size     : 4      # major tick size in points
#xtick.minor.size     : 2      # minor tick size in points
#xtick.major.pad      : 4      # distance to major tick label in points
#xtick.minor.pad      : 4      # distance to the minor tick label in points
#xtick.color          : k      # color of the tick labels
#xtick.labelsize      : medium # fontsize of the tick labels
#xtick.direction      : in     # direction: in or out

You can access them also with rcParam dictionary provided by matplotlib module.

I am looking to change the size/style of the tick markers. Not the labels
associated with each tick, the dashes. How do i go about this?

Cheers,

Jon.
