Good catch. Thanks for the fix.

setp(xticks, markeredgewidth=4)

Ticks are markers.

I ran the matplotlib.test() and got:
FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=90, errors=14)

I checked more carefully now. It turns out, all the differences are texts.

Most of them are very small differences: Some of them offset to right
and down a little bit. Some of them shrink a little bit. Maybe, it
results from that some fonts in Windows are difference form Linux.

But there is one test gave out very big difference:
the 'tests.test_axes.test_symlog'.
The Y axis tick labels >10 are completely lost.
Please check the attachments.

I[1]: plt.plot(range(100))
O[1]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb84f8ec>]

I[2]: xticks = getp(gca(), 'xticklines')

I[3]: xgrids = getp(gca(), 'xgridlines')

I[4]: setp(xgrids, linewidth=2)
O[4]: [None, None, None, None, None, None]

I[5]: setp(xticks, linewidth=5)
O[55]: [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]

This should be the solution. However xgrids are finely set to a bigger
linewidth whereas xticks doesn't change.

I[6]: xticks
O[6]: <a list of 12 Text xtickline objects>

I[6]: xgrids
O[6]: <a list of 6 Line2D xgridline objects>

I[7]: xticks[0]
O[7]: <matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb8b560c>

I[8]: xgrids[1]
O[8]: <matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb8626ec>

Interestingly xticks is returned as a list of Text objects, while each
element of this list looks like a Line2D (which really supposed to
be.)

Can you try these on your side?

Hi all; 

I'm using the excellent font Linux Libertine for writing my thesis, in
which I do my plotting in matplotlib. I would really love to be ablu to
have consistent fonts in both text and graphs - is this possible? I know
it can be loaded by \usepackage{libertine}.

Best;

Emil

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's some relatively automatic way to have the
ticklabels to come out in scientific notation for an axis that uses a
linear scale (and has a range that warrants scientific notation)?  For
example, an axis that goes from 0 to 2.E18 by default uses the labels 0,
0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and puts 1e18 at the end of the axis.  To me this is
unappealing. 1e18 is a computer programming way to write the 10^{18} (in
LaTeX formatting).  In IDL the ticklabels are 5.0x10^{17}, 1.0x10^{18},
1.5x10^{18}, 2.0x10^{18}.  This is one instance where I think IDL gets
it right and matplotlib gets it wrong.  So, as far as I can tell, one
can give the ticklabels by hand, and so I could achieve my desired
labels that way, but it'd be nice to have a more automatic way to do it.
Searching the examples, I've come up empty so far.  I would also
advocate changing the default format for labeling axes that fall in this
category.  Do the developers have any opinions on this?

Regards,
Jon

The colormap functions seem all OK. But I got other errors irrelevant
to your update. I manually checked all images invoking errors, they
are all OK. Somehow, their file handles are not closed properly before
reopening.

Here is the test result:

Hi

How do I make the tick size bigger as in thicker/bolder?

matplotlib.rc('ytick.major', size=5) makes it longer but 'not' thicker.

Yes I agree, I didn't check, I was too quick.  Thanks for this further
bug report in Friedrich Romstedt.py :-).  I forgot to push the new
branch.

The file is here online:
http://github.com/friedrichromstedt/matplotlib/blob/friedrichromstedt-get_cmap/lib/matplotlib/cm.py.
 Notice that the default branch on the repo is grayscale, when you go
in via http://github.com/friedrichromstedt/matplotlib.

I send the file attached.  Just rename the current cm.py and put in
the new one, it should work.  You said you were using svn before, so I
assumed you compiled yourself.  How did you manage to use svn without
compiling?

Can you run the test suite?

Friedrich

  Dear all,

Is there a way of avoiding the overlap between the text of the labels 
and the text of the ticks?     This is what I am getting:

     http://4c.ucc.ie/~lquesada/tmp/surface.pdf

Currently I am only doing this:

     ax.set_xlabel('Distance',fontsize=16)
     ax.set_ylabel('Size',fontsize=16)
     ax.set_zlabel('Cost',fontsize=16)

Is it also possible to give an orientation to the labels? It would be 
nicer if they are oriented parallel to the axis..
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Cheers,
Luis

The only thing I could think of is that matplotlib.matplotlib_fname does:

    fname = os.path.join( os.getcwd(), 'matplotlibrc')
    if os.path.exists(fname): return fname

So if os.path.exists is slow for directories with many files, this
could be the culprit (though it would surprise me).

Maximilian, these lines are found in matplotlib/__init__.py -- you may
want to try commenting them out and rerunning to see if this helps
your issue.

JDH

matplotlib, under normal usage, doesn't list all files in the current 
directory.  Can you provide the steps you perform before calling 
show()?  What platform are you on, and which backend are you using?

I seem to have run into this problem with wx years ago -- destroying the 
widget that fed an event from a callback causes issues.  As Chris 
suggested, the following seems to work, however:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import wx

def close_figure():
     plt.close()

def onclick(event):
     if event.button==1:
         wx.CallAfter(close_figure)

fig = plt.gcf()
cid = fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', onclick)

While you cannot add an axes to another axes, you can set position of
an axes "relative to" another axes. The threads below show simple
approaches.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/16373

http://old.nabble.com/embedding-figures-inside-another-%28coordinates%29-td22826126.html#a22832238

This may or may not work on your cases depending the complexity of your plots.
Of course, if you need more control on the axes position, you may
implement your own axes_locator.

Thanks a lot for your detailed response!
In previous posts I did give the version: '1.0.svn'. Then I installed
the latest stable version. Here is the version info:
>>> print matplotlib.__version__
1.0.0

However, the error is still there.

You could not reproduce the error in your code, because you did not
specify 'lut' when you call get_cmap
try this:
maps=[m for m in matplotlib.cm.datad if not m.endswith("_r")]
for i in maps:
	try:
		a=matplotlib.cm.get_cmap(i,256)(range(256))
	except:
		(type, value, traceback) = sys.exc_info()
		print "Problems to create %s" % (i,)
		print "The error was --> %s: %s" % (type, value)
u will reproduce the error.

Thanks very much to point out I could actually print the colormap
definition-data.
I printed all of them, and found out the colormaps invoking errors are
all tuples but not dictionaries and all other colormaps are actually
dictionaries.

A figure is a figure and an axes is an axes. They are NOT
interchangeable. The AxesGrid essentially creates a list of axes.

As you may already know, only figure class has an add_axes method. And
axes can only be added to a figure. You cannot add an axes to another
axes.

Since I have no idea what kind of special plot your code creates, I
can only suggest you to revise your code to take an axes instance as
an input, not a figure instance.

If you can, please post a simple, but complete code that demonstrate
your problem.

-JJ

Kind of, but it's initialised from a linear segmentation dictionary,
so you can get cmaps with a precision you want.

Default param is 256.

cm = get_cmap('...', 1024)

It's the "magic" to distinguish between integer (in the LUT range) and
float (in [0.0, 1.0]).  2 gives the LUT entry 2, 2.0 will give the
upper value since it's > 1, as will 2.2 do.  Try 0.5, and 0.6, or 0.0
and 0.1.

Actually I cannot reproduce your error on a recently (some weeks ago)
checked-out GitHub repo version of mpl 1.0.0.  Please provide
mpl.__version__ so that we check if that's the reason - as simple as
it might be.

The attribute of the cm where the error occurs on your machine is set
to a valid value for me.  I also cannot find any code path leading to
a wrong initialisation of the attribute.  Might be that the data the
cm is init'ed from changed.  There is a code path initialising the cm
from a tuple (your attribute was a tuple used like a dict), but this
works too:  (terrain is such an example):

>>> cm = matplotlib.cm.get_cmap('terrain')
>>> cm(range(256))
array([[ 0.2       ,  0.2       ,  0.6       ,  1.        ],
       [ 0.19477124,  0.21045752,  0.61045752,  1.        ],
       [ 0.18954248,  0.22091503,  0.62091503,  1.        ],
       ...,
       [ 0.98431373,  0.97992157,  0.97898039,  1.        ],
       [ 0.99215686,  0.98996078,  0.9894902 ,  1.        ],
       [ 1.        ,  1.        ,  1.        ,  1.        ]])

Might be that there was 'red' misspelled in gist_rainbow in you mpl
version, this may explain the behaviour if we track it down.  Can you
do the following to verify this:

import matplotlib._cm
print matplotlib._cm._gist_stern_data

? Thx,
Friedrich

Hi guys,

I made a class which create a special plot in the parent figure 
(matplotlib.pyplot.figure) given as a argument to the __init__ method.

To show more than one instance of this class in the matrix I make a grid 
(mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.AxesGrid) and initialize the class with proper element 
of this grid instead of the figure class instance.
Naturely this does not work, because this grid element 
(mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_divider.LocatableAxes) is not inherent from the 
matplotlib.pyplot.figure class, so the methods are different.
Problematic part of my code is line: axe2D = self.figure.add_axes(rect), where 
self.figure represents the 'parent area'.

Do you have any idea, howto solve this incompatibility?

Radek

Hi,

I encountered this particular problem quite often now. If you use matplotlib
in a directory that contains a large number of files, things become
extremely slow after calling pylab.show(). I suspect the interface
internally lists all files in that directory?

I often have to plot from directories with huge amounts of data, is there a
way to change that behavior?

Regards,

Maximilian

Hi Ben,
Thanks a lot for answering my question! I am a newbie to matplotlib,
so please forgive me, if the question is stupid ;p
In my program I wanna know the exact RGBA value of a data point in the
figure, in order to plot a corresponding line with the same color in
another figure. That is why I need to call a(z) to get RGBA value of a
point at (x,y,z) (z is represented by color). If I understood it
correctly, you said I do not need to specify the 'lut' in
cm.get_cmap(name,lut)? I thought the colormap object is actually a
lookup table with a length specified by lut. It turns out I do not
need to specify anything here. But if I do not specify anything the
colormap.N is always 256. What will happen then, if I need more color
steps? I do notice a(2) and a(2.2) returns different values. So I am
very confused about the principle how the RGBA value is generated by
the colormaps.
