That said, PostScript drawing on top of an EPS is naturally
quite possible.  See e.g. PyX for a pure Python approach.

This is still the case; there has been no change since Mike's message, 
and there is not likely to be any.  Importing from pdf or eps would be 
very difficult.  Few applications even attempt it.

Hello

I sent this email just after Christmas and would appreciate it if anyone
has any suggestions. I am unsure if I have missed a parameter or should I
file a bug?

Thanks

Luke

Subject: Polar graph radial labels
To: mat...@li...


Hello,

I am plotting polar graphs for a university project, the data is
confidential but I based the work on this example
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_demo.html
and fortunately
the same problem occurs with this. If you take that code and change the
last four lines from:

ax.set_rmax(2.0)grid(True)
ax.set_title("And there was much rejoicing!", fontsize=20)show()

To:

ax.set_rmax(3.01)
ax.set_rmin(2.91)
grid(True)ax.set_title("And there was much rejoicing!", fontsize=20)show()

and then run the script.

The min and max needs to be very tight so that the data I am looking at can
be displayed properly. With the tight axis range, the labels end up of to
the top right, they are just visible on my screen (1920x1080) when the
graph is maximised.

After some experimenting the smaller the range between the maximum and
minimum values the further to the right the labels go. I have not looked
into the coding of the polar module as my python knowledge is not great,
but my guess is that the labels are a set distance from the radial markers.

So my question is how do I move the radial labels back to the correct
location?

I hope I have not missed the answer in the documentation. I have installed
version 1.1.0 of matplotlib and its still a problem in it, thanks for the
good instructions on how to do it on ubuntu.

I look forward to any help.

Luke

Hi all

I am trying to include vector graphics in the form of either PDF or EPS in
a matplotlib figure. At first I thought it would be straight forward, but
all my googling have been in vain so far.

Eventually I found this post:

http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/mat...@li.../2009-09/msg00009.html

stating that it is not possible to include EPS in matplotlib figures. Is
this still the case? Or might there be some work around?

Cheers,

Greetings,

I just installed matplotlib on my Mac OS 10.6 Machine (64bit) with default
Python 2.7.1 (easy_install). While the initial 2D graph examples work
great, when testing any of the animations, such as:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/simple_anim.html

I always get the same error:

File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/animation.py",
line 248, in _blit_clear
    a.figure.canvas.restore_region(bg_cache[a])
AttributeError: 'FigureCanvasMac' object has no attribute 'restore_region'

Since "restore_region" is only in backend_agg.py and not in
backend_macosx.py, After reading more on this, I thought this might be
corrected by re-installing from source and setting the setup.cfg to macosx
= True and backend = MacOSX prior to building, but this did not correct the
issue. Also, changing backend: Agg to backend: MacOSX in:
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc

didn't work either. Does anyone have experience with this or further
insight?

Thanks,
Nathan
