matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 8)

Platform:  using XP, python 2.3.4, wx 2.5.1.5, matplotlib 0.61.0

Does anyone know how to set the frame size in example embedding_in_wx2.py ?
Apparently the FigureCanvas is overiding my attempt to set the
dimensions in the CanvasFrame's __init__.

Ok but I would like to activate zooming for users within the program. 
The purpose is to display all the figures with the zoom activated by 
default because in this (small) application users always have to zoom.

I'll have to take a look at this next week since I don't have access
to a win32 platform right now.  It seems to be running fine on linux.

Thanks, it's great to hear encouraging words. Fernando and I will be
meeting tonight with some of the numarray and scipy folks, and so
hopefully we can come up with some more fruitful areas to make this a
great platform.

Now if only people could learn spell matplotlib <wink>

show should be called only once per script -- see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#SLOW.

Try replacing the call to Figure(figsize=(11.0,7.5)) with 

figure(i+1, figsize=(11.0,7.5))

Figure is an API call and figure is a matplotlib interface call.  It
is dangerous and unpredictable to mix the 2.

Other comments: you don't need to import numarray if your matplotlib
numerix rc setting is 'numarray'  the matplotlib.matlab import will do
this for you

I've attached a modified (untested script below).  I'm on the road en
route to the SciPy conference, so will be mostly out of touch for a
few days.

Hope this helps,
JDH

from matplotlib.matlab import *

x = arange(400.)*0.01+1.
y = x**2*exp(x)

for i in range(3):
    clf()
    figure(i+1, figsize=(11.0,7.5))
    lines=semilogy(x, abs(y), 'r-')
    set(lines, 'linewidth', 2.0)
    title('test')
    xlabel('x')
    ylabel('y')
    grid('on')
    fname = 'test' + str(i) +'.png'
    savefig(fname, dpi=250)

I assume you are using use *before* you import matplotlib.matlab?  Eg

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WX')
import matplotlib.matlab ...


ANd you are running your script from the shell.  In an IDE, if
matplotlib.matlab has already been imported, and you rerun your script
from the IDE, your 'use' calls will be w/o effect.  Thus it's
important to test from a shell (tough on win32, I know), or double
click the script to insure a new python interpreter.

I'm on the road en route to the SciPy conference, so will be mostly
out of touch for a few days....

Hope this helps,

Zooming is available via the widgets at the bottom of the plot menu by
default.

In revisiting an old project, I tried the example anim_tk.py.
On two different WinXP machines, a "ghost" window appears (can see right
through it)
and the following:

------------------------------------
C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\examples>python anim_tk.py
elapsed 10.7944733008
Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

please embarrass me by pointing out that I've forgotten to install
something obvious.

matplotlab/ipython/scipy is just a dream for scientific work.  I also

Hello,

I would like to activate the zoom tool on a figure after a plot, like 
'zoom on' does in Matlab. I guess it should be quite easy but I didn't 
find how to do. I saw a 'zoom' method for the 'NavigationToolbar2' class 
that seems to be what I am looking for but I don't how to use this...

Has someone already achieved this?

Hi,

I'm trying to plot a series of graphs

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

# Dr. Markus Faust
# markus.faust@+>>no-spam<<+space.eads.net

from numarray import *
from matplotlib.matlab import *

x =3D arange(400.)*0.01+1.
y =3D x**2*exp(x)

for i in range(3):
    clf()
    Figure(figsize=3D(11.0,7.5))
    lines=3Dsemilogy(x, abs(y), 'r-')
    set(lines, 'linewidth', 2.0)
    title('test')
    xlabel('x')
    ylabel('y')
    grid('on')
    fname =3D 'test' + str(i) +'.png'
    savefig(fname, dpi=3D250)
    show()

With matplotlib-0.61.0-numarray0.9-win32-py2.3 this works as it should.
One plot windows occurs, I click it away and the next occurs.=20

But with matplotlib-0.62.4.win32-py2.3.exe the program behaves strange.
The first windows occurs and I can click it away but the next windows
can not be controlled anymore. Is that anticipated?

I'm working on a Windows XP Prof. PC with Python 2.3.4 and numarray 0.9.

Python 2.3.4 on XP , latest matplotlib

The use 'WX' command is being ignored and the examples always come up in 
Tkinter.
Funny thing is, before the latest XP install it used to work as 
advertized (same versions of everything).
Also, matplotlib.get_backend() reports correctly before and after the 
use command (tkagg before, wx after),
and the commandline -dWX works, though sometimes incredibly slowly (for 
"tale of two subplots").
I've tried the wxpython embedding program using 2 splitter windows in a 
recent mail thread, and that works, too.

Any ideas or ways to debug this ?
