Hi Jose,

lg = legend()
lg.get_frame().set_fill(False)

works for me.  Let me know if this fixes it.

Yours,
Patrick

Does anyone know how to set this background to transparent? I think I
sent a message to the list a few days ago, but I think it never made
it...

Cheers!

Hi,

I have a small script which reads a csv file with several
columns and puts it into an scipay array, which
I can plot using matplotlib. It works fine, but just with
explicitly setting the  number of columns:

  res=loglog(array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,1], 'b',
                array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,2], 'g',
                array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,3], 'r',
                array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,4], 'y',
                array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,5], 'k',
                array_mapped[:,0],array_mapped[:,6], '-bo',
linewidth = 2)

Is there a way to define the number of columns, which I want
to plot? Or even better, can I apply an sys.argv to
define the plotted columns, e.g.
"python csvplot.py all": which plots all columns with its
value for the y-coordinate and the line-number as x-coordinate
"python csvplot.py all1": which does the same as above, but
using column 1 as abscissae
"python csvplot.py 1 2 5": which plots columns 2 and 5
against column 1...

Would be nice, if anybody has an idea, how to achieve this!?
Regards!

Hi,

in Matlab, it is possible to set the figure window title by using:

figure('Name','Simulation Plot Window')


You can even disable the numbering (i.e. the "Figure 1:" tag in the title)
by using:

figure('Name','Simulation Plot Window','NumberTitle','off')


Is there some way of doing a similar thing with matplotlib/pylab?

The reason I need this is that I use a python script to do plots. I call
this script several times to create several plots, and each plot ends up
with the same title (Figure 1). As I cannot create all the plots from a
single script call, I am stuck with these identical window titles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Angel

For all those who want to submit publications to the IEEE and who are 
using matplotlib with the "usetex" option,

The IEEE require all fonts to be embedded (see 
http://216.228.1.34/pdfexpress/frhelpnologin.asp and 
http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/pdftips.php).  Matplotlib 
unfortunately does not embed all the fonts into it's EPS figures.

The quick way to get matplotlib to embed all fonts into the EPS figures 
(instead of using PNGs) is to:
1) open "backend_ps.py" and "texmanager.py"
2) search for "dvips -q"
3) and add "-j0 -Ppdf -Pdownload35 -G0"  just after the "-q" (see 
http://mpa.itc.it/markus/highres_pdf.html)

If not already addressed:

In order for pylab.hlines to handle scalar xmin and xmax args, the following
code should be inserted at line 2328 in axes.py

        if len(xmin)==1:
            xmin = xmin*ones(y.shape, typecode(y))
        if len(xmax)==1:
            xmax = xmax*ones(y.shape, typecode(y))

Analogous code is already in place for VLINES, but not for HLINES.

Thanks,

Daniel Fish

All I can say is that pure ipython is very likely to NOT work at all.
It makes too many assumptions about being in a terminal/readline to
work inside a random GUI.  We do have in SVN (saw branch) a prototype
WX client that will allow this, but it's still a looong way from being
done.

For GTK, some people did hack something out:

http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Cookbook/EmbeddingInGTK

that works.  I suppose you might be able to implement something
similar in some other GUI, but I've never tried.

By all means please post a similar page on the wiki if you do
something along these lines and succeed!

best,
