matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

To get the index of the grid you clicked on requires some knowledge of what
artist you are working with.

See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3989 for some brand new
code which makes this easier to implement in a general way.

While we catch up with that you will need to implement your own mapping of
x/y in data space -> i, j See
http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/image_zcoord.html for an example.

Shawn,

This might better be sent to the IPython mailing lists.

Bryan,

If you subscribe to the list you will be able to post with out moderation.

Does this happen with any of the other sample data?

I don't think that `get_sample_data` is doing you any good here as you are
passing it an absolute path (from `os.getcwd()`) which is passed into
`os.path.join` which when it encounters and absolute path discards
everything to the left so that line is just returning back your input.

Does it work to open any other png or does _only_ this png have issues?

You are reaching into the nominally private parts of the mpl api here, I
would suggest using `mpl.image.imread` instead.

It might be worth using something like PIL/pillow, imread (
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/imread), imageio (https://imageio.github.io/)
or scikit-image for alternate implementations of png readers.

None of the core developers have access to a Solaris machine so it is very
difficult for us to provide much better help on this.

Bryan,

First off, avoid importing things from modules that start with an
underscore. Because Python doesn't have semantics for public/private APIs
like C++ and Java does, the underscore is treated as an indicator to
developers that it is to be treated as private. The implication is that we
are free to change the API of "private" modules and functions between
releases, without warning or recourse, which would lead to breakage of your
scripts if you use them. So, use it at your peril.

I would recommend using plt.imread() instead, or use the Pillow package to
read your data as a numpy array that you can then plot.

Now, onto your issue. I suspect it might be related to changes we made in
1.4 to have a cross-platform file-handle. However, the solaris platform is
not regularly tested by anybody, so it is quite likely we broke something
there. Now, in the master branch on github, we completely rewrote nearly
all of the C++ code, so I while it may still be broken there, perhaps we
might get a more useful error message or something different entirely? Can
you try building from the master branch and letting us know?

Cheers!
Ben Root

P.S. - The script in question wasn't perhaps written originally by a former
Meteorologist colleague from the University of Oklahoma? ;-) If it was, he
was my officemate!

Jan,

If you subscribe to the user list you will be able to post with out
moderation.

Can you point us to which example you are running?  From what you have sent
is is very hard to sort out what is going wrong as we have to guess what
you are doing.
