matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi!
I searchd in the documentation, but couldn't find anything useful. I want to
be able to plot a couple of yearly time series (so that one can see the
difference between some variable in one particular year with respect to
another year). Additionally, I would also like to have a plot of the mean
(and stanard deviation) of several years, and to plot another time series on
those same axes. I was wondering if there is some better solution to the one
I found, which involves subtracting the 1st of January of the year in the
data and using the Julian date. I would like to use day/month markers on the
plot, but apart from referring all the plots to the same year (by adding or
subtracting a fixed value to each year), which is a bit mesy, I haven't been
able to do this. Is there something I can easily do to have my plot from
January to December showing two curves with dates from 01/Jan/2001 to
31/Dec/2001 and the other with dates running from 01/Jan/2004 to
31/Dec/2004?

Cheers!

Hi,

If I'm plotting y-values >1000 then I get "x1e4" at the top of the diagram and 
the yticks become 0.xxx. I rather want to have the real numbers (not in the 
scientific format). Is that difficult to achieve?

Thanks,
wr

And if you just need it for this figure

  fig = figure()
  fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15)

I have a similar problem because I use bigfonts.  If you are going to
make a lot of these plots, you can change the default for left,
bottom, height, and width in your matplotlibrc file.  Look for the
lines:

figure.subplot.left  : 0.15 #0.125  # the left side of the subplots of
the figure
figure.subplot.right : 0.925    # the right side of the subplots of the fig=
ure
figure.subplot.bottom : 0.125   # the bottom of the subplots of the figure
figure.subplot.top : 0.925      # the top of the subplots of the figure

matplotlib looks for this rc file first in the working directory and
then in your home directory (possibly looking in other places along
the way).  So, you could put a copy of matplotlibrc in the directory
where you are making a lot of these plots if you don't want to change
the bottom setting for all your plots.

Try this...
fig =3D figure(num=3D1, figsize=3D(2,2))
ax =3D fig.add_axes([left, bottom, width, height])=20

Start with left=3D0.1, bottom=3D0.1, width=3D0.8, height=3D0.8 and see how=
=20
that looks. Adjust the values of bottom and/or height until your=20
labels are no longer clipped.=20

Hi,

I made a plot where the values on the X-axis are dates, "JUN, JUL, AUG.. et=
c ".
To make them fit better, I have rotated the text using setp(labels,
rotation=3D45, size=3D8), the problem is that the text is "clipped" in bott=
om.  How
can I expand the boundries?  Thanks !!

figure(num=3D1, figsize=3D(2,2))
#xlabel('Tid')
ylabel('Temp', size=3D8)
title('Frysertemperatur', size =3D 10)
p =3D plot(dates, s)
ax =3D subplot(111)
ax.set_clip_on(False)
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(days)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(daysFmt)
#ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(hours)
labels =3D ax.get_xticklabels()
setp(labels, rotation=3D45, size=3D8)
labels =3D ax.get_yticklabels()
setp(labels, size=3D8)
grid(True)
savefig('simple_plot')
show()

Sincerely
