HI, all:
How to label the each line by the corresponding values in the contour plot?
Thanks!

I'd like to see what the latest version does -- can you post a segment
of code that demonstrates?

Hi Derek,
happy to see you use it, here is windrose0.5 with some improvments :-)

Done

Now "%" is set with the external label. I don't find how to set labels (and 
grids) above patches, ax.set_axisbelow(False) doesn't work :-( But for the 
moment you can use labangle parameter to move the labels.

0.0 is not longer draw

Hum, everybody can set it directly from matplotlibrc or creating an polar axis 
before.

Waiting for polar axes legend improvments :-)

Don't know if I really understand what you want, but why don't you use subplot 
to split your figures?

You're the first saying you use it :-)
Maybe differents progs versions. I use:
|datas|[42]>matplotlib.__version__
   Out [42]:'0.87.5'
|datas|[43]>scipy.__version__
   Out [43]:'0.5.1'
|datas|[44]>numpy.__version__
   Out [44]:'1.0b5'

Improving with each version!  A few small tweaks:
 
* do not outline the colors in black; its hard to see smaller/shorter
lines
* the % labels need either to go along a vector NOT used to draw data,
or
be drawn last (on top of data); or a combination of both
* the 0.0% label can probably be omitted from the centre
* drawing a title("") on the plot is still problematic (it overwrites
the "N" in
some cases) 
* default background color should be white
* a legend title will *very* useful
 
And a question - is it possible to restrict the plot to a portion of
the area;
say to the left, with a "rectangle" of the space available to the
right; or
up to the top, with a "rectangle" of the space available to the
bottom.
Plots often have to annotated and its useful to have some working
space
to do this.

Thanks for all the good work!
Derek

PS Does anyone else using this program get the strange "[" and "]"
signs
around the data ranges in the legend - how can this be turned off?

Hi all,
after some suggestions, here is the latest version of windrose. Now,
keywords 
args are passed by **kwargs, "bar" style have a "opening" arg for
controlling 
the sectors angles, legends are positionned with "legendloc" and their
size 
with "legendsize", and box are not displayed anymore.
Hope you find it usefull, any comments welcome.

Cordialement

Well, in general the one on the web should track the latest release
and not svn, but thanks for the tip.  We've recently decided to go to
a "commented out" matplotlibrc so people will simply get the defaults
set by __init__.py.  This will result in fewer warnings for naive
users who never change rc but end up with stale files.  The only two
options that are on by default are backend and numerix (which are set
at build time based on your local environment).

I've updated the web file with these changes.

Cheers,
JDH

Hi,

I'm using matplotlib svn.
It looks like matplotlibrc from 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlibrc is not up-to-date :

Bad key "lines.markeredgecolor" on line 48 in
/home/gnata/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc.
You probably need to get an updated matplotlibrc file from
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc or from the matplotlib source
distribution
Bad key "lines.markerfacecolor" on line 47 in
/home/gnata/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc.
You probably need to get an updated matplotlibrc file from
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc or from the matplotlib source
distribution

Where can we get the new one?

Thanks for your work on matplotlib,
Xavier.
