Serhiy:  Here's a hacky workaround that does what you want.  Run it in 
the matplotlib examples directory (it uses data files in there).

Dear Michael,

Recently I've used 'hot' which I think is very clear in color and
works perfectly in grayscale.

Cheers,
Francesco

Serhiy:

Yes, they all make squares.  Why is it so important the plot be round?

I prepared some plots for a conference paper using pcolormesh.  The plots
need to work both for color and for a b&w print copy.  Does anyone have a
goto color map for that sort of occassion?  I was using YlGrBu, but I'm
just not happy with it.

Thanks,
Michael

Dear all,

using a polarstereograhic projection with Basemap (

m = Basemap(projection = 'npstere', resolution = 'c', lat_0 = 90., lon_0 = 0., 
area_thresh = 1000., boundinglat = 40.

)

one get a square map. Is there any way to make the map round, not square?

Many thanks,

Adding a button is easy... Adding cross-platform printer capability is not.
 The only way I envision it could happen is if the GUI toolkits have some
sort of printing API.  We already can convert to postscript.

Hi all,

I have filed a ticket for adding a printer button to the 
navigation toolbar.
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/670
I am interested in a wider response.

Any further comments ?

Nils

  

I try to plot some data directly from a file but without any sucess so far...

from pylab import *

plotfile("test.txt",(0,1))



My test.txt is in the same folder and it's just

1	2	3
5	2	6
4	5	8

It returns


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\lafont.LNE\Bureau\plotfile.py", line
19, in <module>
    plotfile("test.txt",(0,1))
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line
1908, in plotfile
    yname, y = getname_val(cols[i])
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py", line
1880, in getname_val
    name = r.dtype.names[int(identifier)]
IndexError: tuple index out of range


I don't understand, I do the same as the example on the matplotlib
website, but it doesn't work
