matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

i apologize in advance for what is undoubtedly a silly question, but, having
looked through the coding examples and the forum i am still a little
confused...

am i correct in understanding that the only way to draw / display a path on
an axes is by converting it to a PathPatch and adding that to the axes?

ideally i would like to display a PathPatch as well as parts of the path
that surround it. to do this i would like to show the PathPatch with no edge
and then also show part of the path (with no fill).

thanks in advance,

lb

Sorry I forgot to answer -- I answered you in my mind <wink>.  While I
am never in favor of dropping support for l packages just because they
are old, if they are impeding adding good functionality because it is
too difficult to code/test against too many interfaces, then by all
means yes, we can drop <2.4.  I thnk we could safely drop <2.6.

You are welcome Gus :)

Go ahead and try these too.. I am assuming that you are experimenting in
Ipython with --pylab.

Use ? or ?? or browse and read for more information regarding to the usage
of functions (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html) I am
sure gallery has some extra demonstration, too

setp(labels, 'rotation', 'vertical')
xticklabels = getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
setp(xticklabels, fontsize=14, weight='bold')

Have fun :)

Hey,

Try this:

plot([1,2,3])
locs, labels = xticks([0,1,2], ['Trial1', 'Trial2', 'Control'])

I am sorry if this has been covered in teh archives or is RTFM-sh but I
looked in both places and am low on time.  I want to use text as the value
for the X-axis ticks not numbers.  Something like 'Trial1', 'Trial2',
'Control' instead of 1,2,3.

Is this even possible? It seems that this would be a VERY common need.  I
think that it must be obvious but I just can not figure it out.  I fi just
try to supply the text labels as a list the same place the normal xVals
would be used (pl.plot(xVals,yVals)) it does not understand.


Thanks.

Gus
