matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 2)

Well, if Freetype were only distributed under the GPL, you couldn't
distribute matplotlib in binary form without providing the source code.

However, Freetype is distributed under more than one license.  (see:
https://www.freetype.org/license.html )

Because it's distributed under a BSD-style license in addition to the GPL,
it can be distributed in binary form, subject to an accreditation clause:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/tree/docs/FTL.TXT

In the past, I have gotten approval from corporate lawyers at a very large
company to use freetype (and matplotlib) in an application that was being
distributed in binary form.  The dual-licensing of freetype was key in that
particular case.

Or that's my take on it, anyway.  I'm not a Lawyer, so don't consider this
legal advice in any way.
Cheers!

Chad,

My recollections is that matplotlib doesn't distribute the source code to
FreeType, it only uses it as a dependency. As such, MPL is in the clear
with its more permissive licensing.

Hi, All,
I just went to install matplotlib version 2.0.0, and it has a dependency called "freetype". This software appears to be licensed under GPL3.  My reading of that latter license is that, if someone wanted to distribute a compiled version of a program requiring matplotlib, that entire program would fall under the GPL3 license.  I'm sure that would be a non-starter for many, many projects.

Does anyone have any takes on this?

Chad

Hi everyone,

As some of you already know, some of us are involved in the organization of
a docathon. Several of us will be meeting up to sprint on documentation or
documentation-related projects at Berkeley, New York and Seattle.

If you are interested in joining us, either remotely or on campus, don't
hesitate to join!

Cheers,
Nelle

*What's a Docathon?*
It's a week-long sprint where we focus our efforts on improving the state
of documentation in the open-source and open-science world. This means
writing better documentation, building tools, and sharing skills.

*Who’s this for?*
Anyone who is interested in improving the understandability, accessibility,
and clarity of software! This might mean developers with a particular
project, or individuals who would like to contribute to a project. You
don’t need to use a specific language (though there will be many Python and
R developers) and you don’t need to be a core developer in order to help
out.

*Where can I sign up?*
Check out the *Docathon website* <https://bids.github.io/docathon/>. You
can sign up as a *participant*
<https://goo.gl/forms/AaW2b24mMxOutxt02>, *suggest
a project* <https://goo.gl/forms/0cPpw01zehrEyDDE3> to work on, or sign up *to
host your own* <https://bids.github.io/docathon/pages/hosting.html> remote
Docathon wherever you like. You don’t have to use a specific language -
we’ll be as accommodating as possible!

*When is the Docathon?*
The Docathon will be held *March 6 through March 10*. For those coming to
BIDS at UC Berkeley, on the first day we'll have tutorials about
documentation and demos of documentation tools, followed by a few hours of
hacking. During the middle of the week, we'll set aside a few hours each
afternoon for hacking as a group at BIDS. On the last day, we'll have a
wrap-up event to show off what everybody worked on.

*Where will the Docathon take place?*
There are a *few docathons being held simultaneously*
<https://bids.github.io/docathon/pages/hosts.html>, each with their own
schedule. At Berkeley we'll have a physical presence at BIDS over the week,
and we encourage you to show up for the hours we set aside for doc hacking.
However, it is totally fine to work remotely; we will coordinate people via
email/GitHub, too.

*Where can I get more information?*
Check out an updated schedule, list of tutorials, and more information at
our website here: *bids.github.io/docathon* <http://bids.github.io/docathon>
.

*Contact*
If you have any questions, open an issue on our *GitHub repo*
<https://github.com/BIDS/docathon>. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who may be interested.
We'd love for other institutions/groups to get involved.

Dear Jupyter Community,

[ Forgive the cross-post, trying to spread the word to at least the most
relevant communities ]

it is my pleasure to announce that this year, we'll be having our first
Jupyter community conference, JupyterCon. It will take place in August in
NYC:

http://jupytercon.com

To accompany the conference launch, Brian and I drafted a little "State of
Jupyter" post that we hope you'll find useful:
https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-state-of-jupyter.

For JupyterCon, we have partnered with O'Reilly Media, long-time supporters
of the project and active publishers in the Python/Data Science space who
have extensive experience running conferences. Andrew Odewahn, CTO of
O'Reilly and I will be co-chairing the conference, and we hope many of you
will be interested in participating with talk proposals, tutorials or
attending to engage with your fellow Jupyter users and developers.  We have
a great program committee composed of a broad and diverse sample of our
community, who will work with you to ensure you have a positive and
productive experience submitting and preparing your talks, tutorials and
activities.

This is a big milestone for our project, and for me personally: I never
imagined a tiny bit of Python config more than fifteen years ago would take
us here, and I want to extend my most sincere gratitude to every single one
of you who makes this possible.

I also want to thank the entire team at O'Reilly for taking a risk with a
project that has never held an event like this, as well as to our funders,
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and
the Helmsley Trust, without whose support we would not be where we are
(this conference was in fact part of our current grant deliverables).

Please spread the word, submit a proposal, and join us in NYC so we can
have both a great event and a project that continues to grow and contribute
to research, education, industry and more!

Very best,

Fernando

To push much past 20Hz you will want to look into blitting.  See
http://matplotlib.org/devdocs/api/animation_api.html for a rough
introduction on how to use blitting (and see the animation code for an
example of handling all of the corner cases).

Unfortunately the screen shot doesn't include the last lines of the error
message,  so it's difficult to guess what went wrong.  Can you run the
program again, and copy / paste the full text of the exception instead?

That works fine. And it explains why update() only worked with the Qt
backends (I tried all). The speed is still not super impressive though (~20
fps), but I think I will just start skipping frames when playing at above
20 fps.

Thanks,

Instead of `canvas.update` call `self.im.figure.canvas.draw_idle()`.

IIRC `update` is part of the API inherited from Qt, not part of the API we
ensure that all of the canvas objects have.

Hi all,


I made a little video player using matplotlib. I need it to allow very good
control over the playback speed (e.g. direction, frame-by-frame stepping
and fast and slow).

However, it's not very fast. Max frame rate I can achieve is 10-20 fps.
I followed Basti's advice on speeding up plotting (
http://bastibe.de/2013-05-30-speeding-up-matplotlib.html).
This resulted in a more than 2x improvement (from <5 to 10-20 fps), but I
would like to reach 40-50 fps.

The core code is something like this:

self.im.set_data(self.video_frame)

self.text.set_text('some text')

     self.ax.draw_artist(self.im)
     self.ax.draw_artist(self.text)
     self.im.figure.canvas.update()
     self.im.figure.canvas.flush_events()

video_frame is a 200 x 250 array. I tried lowering dpi from 100 to 50, but
the improvement is marginal.

I saw that Harden (
http://www.swharden.com/wp/2013-04-15-fixing-slow-matplotlib-in-pythonxy/)
recommended using TkAgg over Qt4Agg since TkAgg is supposed to be faster.
But, TkAgg doesn't play nicely with figure.canvas.update(). I get the
following error:
AttributeError: 'FigureCanvasTkAgg' object has no attribute 'update'
It works with Qt4Agg though.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Or some general advice on how to speed up
playback speed?

I tried with both matplotlib 1.5.1 and the current version from
github 2.0.0b4+2373.gb34c55d

Best regards,
Hjalmar

It turns out that the Cartopy gridline labels are NOT tick labels, but
Text objects managed by the Gridliner class.   I think I'm just going
to draw the grid line labels myself.

Hmm, strange. Well, I know this works in mplot3d (we have a test for it)

    for i, tick in enumerate(ax.yaxis.get_major_ticks()):
        tick.set_pad(tick.get_pad() - i * 5)

A bit silly, but it is how you can have labels anywhere you want relative
to the ticks.

I couldn't find an rcParams property called "tickpad".  I did find
"xtick.major.pad", which was set to 4.0.  Setting it to a negative
value has no effect.  xtick.minor.pad doesn't do anything either.

I think you do that by setting a negative tickpad value in the rcParams.

Thomas - I hate to be obtuse, but did you mean to imply that the xaxis
and yaxis properties of an Axes object are AxisArtist objects?
IPython tells me that they are XAxis and YAxis objects. From
inspecting the GitHub repo, it seems that these are child classes of
the Axis object.

I suppose I should ask the question addressing the problem I actually
have:  How do I render the tick (map) labels *inside* a Cartopy map
instead of *outside*?

Thanks,

Mike

ax.xaxis or ax.yaxis

axes_grid is an alternative to the default Axes/Axis classes.

Python: 3.5
Matplotlib: 1.5.2

I'm trying to invert the tick labels on a Cartopy map, and I found
this Matplotlib example:

ax.axis[:].invert_ticklabel_direction()

found here:
http://matplotlib.org/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axisartist.html

My problem is that any Axes object (or child class thereof) that I've
experimented with says that the axis attribute is a *method*, not a
sequence as I infer from the above example.

How do I get the axisartists for a bog-standard Axes instance?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to use emoji’s in labels. I am
using python3 on a Mac and matplotlib 1.5.2

The unicode demo works.
http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html  I think
my issue might have to do with fonts?


I found a discussion about emojis and fonts at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30049760/emoji-in-matplotlib-figures-on-o
s-x
They suggest adding the following line
prop = fm.FontProperties(fname='/System/Library/Fonts&#‌​47;Apple\ Color\
Emoji.ttf')matplotlib.rcParams['font.family'] = prop.get_name()

How ever I get the following error

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-package
s/matplotlib/font_manager.py in get_name(self)
    735         properties.
    736         """
--> 737         return ft2font.FT2Font(findfont(self)).family_name
    738 
    739     def get_style(self):

RuntimeError: In FT2Font: Could not set the fantasize

Here is what my graph looks like if I follow the ‘tex unicode demo'
Also I have about 21 different “categories / factors”  any suggestions how
to format the graph so the legend looks nice? Notice the colors are reused
and the legend is to bit

Thanks in advance

Andy

At least for me gmail put your mail in the spam folder.

Anyway the inline backend is actually from in IPython/Jupyter and not in
matplotlib. I think they have changed the default a couple of times and had
the transparent as a default earlier but changed it. Looking at the current
master it looks like they are respecting the matplotlib default colors from
the matplotlib rc params. Can you please check which version on IPython and
Jupyter you are running.

You can change the matplotlib rc parameters as described in the docs
http://matplotlib.org/users/customizing.html#customizing-matplotlib but the
default ones should be white.
