matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Wx rotates text around a different origin (the upper left) than most of 
the other backends (the lower left).  I've added a bit of code to 
correct for this.

But I also second John's suggestion about using WxAgg if you can.

Cheers,
Mike

You might want to try reinstalling Fink. I did a bootstrap install of Fink
on a new 10.5 install and matplotlib is working fine. Several other tools
that I use are still missing from Fink on 10.5 but I haven't had any
problems with matplotlib so far.

Best of luck,

Yep, I can use that. =20

Not only did that solve the yaxis label issue, EVERYTHING works much
better now.  Under "Wx" there was some delay when resizing the window,
and the lines didn't look as good.

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible for you to use WXAgg -- this is the recommended backend
for wx users.  The only advantage of native wx that I am aware of is
when running under X11 in some environments.

Howdy,

When using Wx as the backend and plotting a line: the y axis label is
overlapping with the y axis ticks.  This only appears to happen when
using Wx; when using Tk, the label appears as expected.

I have tried many things suggested by mail archives and Google searches:

1. Change font size/face in ticks.
2. Change font size/face in label.
3. Use subplots_adjust.
4. Use custom axes.

The label still ALWAYS overlaps the ticks.  It looks like the label is
being rendered on top of the ticks no matter what location the ticks are
at.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Sample of what I'm trying to do:

--------------------------
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Wx')

import pylab

pylab.title ("Intial Velocity vs Residual Velocity")
pylab.xlabel ("Initial Velocity")

#There is a bug in matplotlib -- the ylabel overlaps the yticks
#when using Wx
pylab.ylabel ("Residual Velocity", verticalalignment=3D'top')

pylab.plot ([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4])

pylab.show ()
--------------------------

Thanks ahead of time,

Hi everybody,

I have sent this email before today, but I wasn't a member back then. So 
I don't know if it was sent. Anyway I am sending it again, if anyone 
knows how to color the plot_surface function (along an axis perhaps), 
please share your knowledge.

Thanks,
Seyit
