matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi all,

I'm making a plot with two axes (axUpper and axLower) that is a bit of a
copy of John's financial plot in
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/finance_work2.py.
axUpper has it's y axis on the left and axLower has it on the right and
each of these sets of labels has an extraneous bit of a date label on
it.
axUpper has a chunk of 'February' at the point where axUpper and axLower
meet and the axLower labels have an extra bit of '02' at the same spot.

Anyone have an idea of why that might be?

Thanks,
Travis

Hi,

I havent had trouble with this. Could you first make sure that you are 
changing your rc settings before importing from pylab? This works for my on 
MPL 0.72.1, python 2.3:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.rcParams['tick.labelsize']=6
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3,4])
show()

If that doesnt work, please post a short script that will reproduce the 
behavior.

We'd like to set up a set of plots that look something like:

PPPP  PPPP  PPPP
PPPP  PPPP  PPPP
PPPP  PPPP  PPPP
PPPP  PPPP  PPPP

hhh             s...
hhhhh           s...
hhh             s...
hhhhhh          s.....

where
- each set of Ps is a 4x4 pcolor plot representing signal
   on a 4x4 detector at a particular time. I.e. a 4x4
   array of solid blocks of gray.
- h is a histogram
- s is the left edge of a scatter plot/strip chart

We have the basic layout, but are missing a few subtleties...

If possible, when the window is resized we'd like to:
- Resize the histogram and scatterplots but not the pcolor plots. (After 
all, there's no detail to zoom into in a 4x4 pcolor plot!)
- Keep the pcolor plots (Ps) square.

My first thought was to set up multiple FigureCanvas objects and use 
tk's layout options. But the updating then looked funny (and seemed to 
go slower, though that may be my imagination). We're updating the 
displays at 2 Hz (for data coming in at 20Hz) and all the plots are 
related, so it's important to update them all at the same time.

Any hints would be appreciated.

P.S. when using the TkAgg API, is this the usual idiom for turning off 
axis labels?:
        yls = self.axScatter.get_yticklabels()
        for yl in yls:
            yl.set_visible(False)
I did not find any equivalent to the pylab.set command that 
automatically iterates over collections of ticks or labels. No big deal, 
but I'd simplify the code if I could.

rcParams['tick.labelsize'] is not working? How to set tick label size in =
another way?
py23 + pylab07

Thanks.

             Hello,

there are something always strange for me in mathtext is the code for 
the angstrom mode. It's not the same in Latex and there are only the 
upper case symbole. Perhaps (it's only a suggestion) that will be better 
to replace \angstrom withb \AA.

Thanks for the work did in matplotlib,

    N.

I would like to be able to define a new colormap dynamically, that is 
without altering code in cm.py.

It would not appear to be too difficult to some one who knew what they 
were doing. I have made
some attempts following the code in cm.py and other places, but I do 
not seem to be able to get the
normalization correct.

I know that I could just put the data into cm.py but I would rather not 
have to remember to alter this code
for every release of matplotlib and I am sure most people do not want 
my colormaps.

I have used GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) extensively in the past and 
have code to translate the GMT color map
into a form usable by matplotlib.
The site:  http://craik.shef.ac.uk/cpt-city/  has a very large number 
of colormaps in the GMT format and would be a useful resource for 
matplotlib,
   if the data files there could be easily imported.

Thanks for any pointers.
