matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

unless I'm misunderstanding something, the website says that

matplotlib-0.99.0.win32-py2.5

should contain the axes3d material. It doesn't. Instead, it axes3d.py
contains the following:

raise NotImplementedError('axes3d is not supported in matplotlib-0.98.
 You may want to try the 0.91.x maintenance branch')

note that I am on a Windows machine and I'm not sure I can build
everything from the trunk.

thanks in advance.

This turned out to be a bug in the legend code. This is now fixed in
the maint. branch and the trunk.

Adam,
Do you want these vertical lines show up in the legend?
If not, the easiest workaround is to use some garbage label which
starts with "_", i.e.,

vlines(3e10/6000e-8,1e-7,1e-4,linestyle='--', label="_nolabel")

If you want, you may use axvline or plot instead, which creates a
Line2D instance (instead of LineCollection) which will work fine with
the legend.

Regards,

-JJ

print "int_nu = %g" % (int_nu)
print "int_lam = %g" % (int_lam)

show()



The error only happens when I use a legend; i.e. there is no error
when the legend() lines are commented out.  I've only explored a
little parameter space but it still happens without latex in the
labels and when I use a linear-linear plot.

matplotlib version?  what installer did you use?  Did you do a clean install?

This is fixed in the release branch and will make it into 0.99.1.

Hello All,

    Iv run into a strange issue involving outputting a graph to a png 
format. Anytime i try to output a png file the python interpreter 
crashes.  However when using other formats (such as pdf or svg) there 
are no issues with the output. I am running python 2.5.4 x86 on Windows 
2008 Server x64 sp1. I have included the error information and some 
short examples of code that i am attempting to use to output the data to 
an image format below. Any help i could get with this would be great.

Thanks,
Ben

I'm trying to draw the axes from one figure directly over the axes for 
another figure, in a sense, combining the two axes as two layers on one 
figure.

So, first I get an axes instance, "ax".

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure()
fig.add_subplot(111)
plt.plot(range(10), [i^2 for i in range(10)])
ax=fig.axes[0]
plt.savefig('test.png')


Okay, now I have the axes "ax".  I want to draw ax directly on top of 
the following figure, and get a result that would be the same as if I 
had called the plot command above directly in the following code.  All 
I'm passed in my real code is the newax variable below, which is why I 
use newax.get_figure()).

fig=plt.figure()
newax=fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_figure(newax.get_figure())
newax.get_figure().add_axes(ax,label="newax")
plt.savefig('test2.png')

However, the result of test2.png is not very pretty and definitely not 
what I want.  The tick labels for the y-axis are all scrunched up, for 
example.

Can anyone help?

For those curious, what I'm doing is working on getting the Sage 
graphics code to be able to wrap and intelligently display matplotlib 
axes objects, so that a person could easily create a matplotlib axes, 
wrap it in the Sage graphics class, and then be able to manipulate it in 
Sage.  In order for this to work, it seems like I need to save the axes 
object I care about, and then when Sage composes it's final figure 
(using matplotlib), it passes me an AxesSubplot object.  I need to 
somehow take that subplot object and draw my saved axes on it in the 
most intelligent way possible.  In the code above, I try taking the 
given AxesSubplot object, getting the figure from that, and then just 
adding my saved axes to that figure.  Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

Jason

Right into the eye.

"Segmentation is the process of separating objects of interest from the
background."

Once I finish this task, I should be able to count the occurrences of the
shadowed instances so that I would have an idea regarding to their sizes.

Thanks.  I think you're right, Jae-Joon.  I've committed a slightly 
simplified version of your patch on the 0.99 branch and trunk.

The bug was fixed on the 0.99.x branch, not in 0.99.0 (which predates 
the fix).  The fix should, however, make it into the forthcoming 0.99.1 
release.

Cheers,
Mike

Run python with the -Wignore::DeprecationWarning option; see the manual
page for details.

Hi all,

Is it possible to suppress the output of 
DeprecationWarning messages on the screen ?

Nils

Hi all,
I got my administrator to update the python modules (matplotlib, scipy,
numpy) and now it works fine. Seems to be an already fixed bug.
Thanks to all for your help!

Great.

I will check it out on the next rc or release.

I have reported that issue on the tracker at the end of July. You can fin
dit here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=560720&aid=2830483&group_id=80706
It's supposed to be fixed in 0.99... are you sure you are using it?

I remember trying it just after the bug was closed with an svn version and
it was working. But then again I just tried it  (0.99.0) and I get the bad
behaviour... You seem not to be the only one! Maybe the issue should be
re-opened.

You should check out the ndimage subpackage in scipy.

This tutorial should help you get started:
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/ndimage.html
The section on "segmentation and labeling" will be particularly useful  
for you.

Best,

Hello all,

I want to be able to count predefined simple rectangle shapes on an image as
shown like in this one: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2327/particles.png

Which is in my case to count all the blue pixels (they are ice-snow flake
shadows in reality) in one of the column.

What is the way to automate this task, which library or technique should I
study to tackle it.

Thanks.

Hi,
   I've been playing around with mplotlib's 3d charting functionality.
 I wanted to generate something similar to this example:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/plot_directive/mpl_examples/mplot3d/bars3d_demo.py

However, the number on scales are off (see attached). It should look like this:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/_images/bars3d_demo.png

I'm running matplotlib-0.99.0.  Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Sammy
