Try adding these lines before your call to plt.show():

    locs, labels = plt.xticks()
    plt.xticks(locs, np.arange(11, 36))

hi guys, 

i guess thats an easy one for you: 

fig=plt.figure()
rect=fig.patch
rect.set_facecolor('white')
ax1=fig.add_subplot(111)
bp=boxplot(array)

xlabel('case ID')
ylabel('registration time, sec')
show()

whereas array is a list of lists with 25 entries.

i want to have the axis not from 0 to 25 but from 11 to 36. How can i do
that?

thanks
peter

I think Fiona is what you are looking for. I use it regularly for the exact
same purpose.

Hello all,
I am currently using Basemap to map a shapefile into a map which works perfect with some shapefiles. I notice it doesn't work with point shapefiles which are only points in a map. Do I have to use another strategy to plot this points from the shapefile? I was thinking to extract the latitude and longitude points from the shapefile and plot those, however, I do not know if that is the best approach. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks so much

Neal,

If you also want to get rid of the lines, you could just color the texts of the legend labels using a VPacker in something like

Dear All,

I drawed map by using basemap that show paralel and meridian line in
geographic coordinate.
How do I add another paralel/line that show line of geomagnetic coordinate?
Thank you....
I attached image of the current
​result...

Regards,

Dydy14

Is there some way I can add a short text to the legend box?  Rather than 
having
label='foo=0'
label='foo=1'
...

I'd like to just put 'foo' say at the top of the legend box.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading my mail.
In basemap toolkit of matplotlib, I found the  Coastline data used is from
the GSHHS (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html).But I found
it barely satisfying to use.
（For that I am from China,but the 2 most prominent rivers,Yangtze river and
Yellow river are not shown ,and another less important river is shown）
So,here I am asking if there is how I can replace this GSHHS coasline data
with my data?How is GSHHS data formatted?So I'd probably work some way out
to make or find another set of data with the same format.
Thanks again for reading .

Hi all, 

Is there a way to produce a KML file from matplolib results as R and Matlab
do ? 

- plotKML is a R package http://plotkml.r-forge.r-project.org
- Matlab has the Google Earth Toolbox. 

Both of them allow to plot directly on GE

I' have been digging around and found this old post :"Producing a
KML-friendly (Google Earth) image" but nothing about how to actually a
matplolib result as a KML file useable into Google Earth.

I have seen some shape to KML packages, but nothing about raster.

The ultimate goal being to use the "plot, mplot3d, imshow, etc..." to plot
any python array on GE.

Thanks for your help
Eric

Hello,
First off I want to say that I have followed the "Completely remove matplotlib" steps on your website for the source build, used git to do a clean install and have done some additional research and followed a stack overflow post on this without any success. Basically the Stack Overflow had me try all the different backends in the configuration file which was in the /usr/lib64/site-packages/matplotlib...../matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc and none worked for me. I am attaching all the requested info for the computer architecture and build info below:
============== uname -a ======================================
Linux navier.areai 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 6 23:43:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


================== matplotlib version ============================
1.5.dev1 
obtained using github (git clone git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git)
============================================================

I made no edits to the setup.py file and I am building/installing from source on my Rocks 6.1 HPC cluster.
gcc is 4.9.2 and I have included the 
"python setup.py build" and "python setup.py install" outputs  (build_OUTPUT and setupInstall_OUTPUT respectively) as well.

The simple_plot.py case run.out is also attached.

Please point me in the right direction!

    This is great, but it has a slightly bothersome side effect on the
    colorbar ticks. In your original example, I changed the line 'data =
    10 * (data - 0.8)' to 'data = 10 * (data - 0.85)', so that the
    numbers are now in between -8.5 and +1.5. As a result, when the
    colorbar is drawn, you get a tick at -8, as well as one at -9
    (similarly at +1 and +2). Example attached. As in, the colorbar
    method seems intent on adding those tick marks at -9 and +2. The
    result is not aesthetically pleasing.<br>
    <br>
    In one of my real-data example, the minimum value of the data
    happened to be -4.003, and as a result there was a tick label at -4
    and an overlapping tick label at -5. Why does this happen only when
    I specify 'norm' in imshow? How do I get matplotlib to not do that?<br>

Hi Ben,

My idea was to just make the notebook the “example”.  But nbconvert-ing the notebook makes static images that then need to be checked into the repository, and take space, so I wasn’t sure how desirable that was.  

It would be fun to have the documentation script accept ipython notebooks and run nbconvert on them.  Being able to save state as you work through examples is quite nice, versus creating five or six standalone *.py files that then get run at build time.  Of course you are adding a dependency to anyone who has wants to build the docs.  

Thanks,  Jody

No, there isn't an accepted way to do that AFAIK. However, it doesn't seem

By the way, if you want quick-n-easy plotting of shapefiles, I suggest
using GeoPandas, which makes it dead simple.

Edgar,

You feed lat/lon (float) values. See this example here:
http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/cea.html

And a whole collection of setting up maps in other projection here:
http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/mapsetup.html

You also need to make sure that all of inputs make sense together (e.g.,
you're not specifying any corners beyond the range of your specific
projection)

Hello,
I am currently working with Basemap to plot a shapefile on the map. However, I am confused on how to initialize llcrnrx and llcrnry and same for the upper corner. I currently have both latitudes and longitudes for lower and upper corners in degrees. Does this mean I have to convert from degrees to x,y coordinates? I tried using llcrnrlon and llcrnrlat but it doesn't seem to like this. Please help me clarify this, any help would be great.

Thank You

Hi all,

If I want to contribute *.rst files to the matplotlib documentation, I can see a few styles already contributed, at least one of which makes extensive use of ipython (http://matplotlib.org/users/image_tutorial.html). However, even it makes use of `.. sourcecode:: python` and `.. plot::` blocks.

If I convert an ipython notebook to rst, it formats as: `.. code:: python` and instead of making plots it loads images:
 `.. image:: MyExample_files/MyExample_1_0.png`

So, is there an acceptable way to directly make matplotlib documentation directly from a notebook?  I didn’t see anything, but wanted to check, as that would by far be the easiest way to make a *.rst that had structured text, code, and plots.

Thanks,   Jody

I put the data into a list of lists of numpy arrays. The following script
generated a plot similar to what Juan attached:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def model(t, ii, jj):
    """
    Returns some numbers according to the independent variable, t, and
    parameters of the model, ii and jj.

t = np.linspace(-2.5, 2.5, 11)
data = [
    [model(t, ii, jj) + np.random.rand(len(t)) - .5
     for ii in range(6)] # different sessions
    for jj in range(2)] # accuracy/speed

### do the plotting
colors = ['b', 'r']
titles = ['Accuracy emphasis', 'Speed emphasis']
fig, big_axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 6), nrows=2, ncols=1, sharey=True)

for row, big_ax in enumerate(big_axes):
    big_ax.set_ylabel('RT distributions')
    big_ax.set_xlabel('Response time [s]')
    big_ax.set_title(titles[row])
    big_ax.tick_params(labelcolor=(1.,1.,1.,0.), top='off', bottom='off',
left='off', right='off')
    big_ax._frameon = False

for jj, emph_data in enumerate(data):
    for ii, iidata in enumerate(emph_data):
        ax = fig.add_subplot(len(data), len(emph_data),
jj*len(emph_data)+ii+1)
        # plot bars:
        ax.bar(t, iidata,
               color=colors[jj],
               width=(max(t)-min(t))/(len(t)-1), # for non-overlapping bars
               linewidth=0) # no outlines
        # plot models:
        ax.plot(t, model(t, ii, jj), 'k', linewidth=2)

        # annotate axes etc.

Juan,

It is, of course, very difficult to give any concrete advice without
knowing how your data are stored.

In any case, seaborn builds on matplotlib to provide some very advanced
visualization with a very concise API.

I recommend you look into the seaborn.distplot function and
seaborn.FacetGrid class.

It's exactly equivalent to:
	plt.cla(); plt.whatever(...)

There are two types of "clear":
	plt.clf()  # clear the current Figure
	plt.cla()  # clear the current Axes

I do actually use it with some regularity interactively, though I'm
not particularly attached to it. Is there some equivalent though, like
   plt.whatever(..., hold=False)
can become
   plt.clear(); plt.whatever(...)
? The semantics would be that the current figure remains the current
figure, but is reset so that the next operation starts from scratch. I
notice that plt.clear() does not exist, but maybe it has another
spelling :-).

(Basically the use case here is getting something like the
edit-and-rerun-a-cell workflow, but when using a classic interactive
REPL rather than the ipython notebook -- so I have a specific plot
window up on my screen at a size and place where I can see it, and
maybe some other plots in other windows in the background somewhere,
and I want to quickly display different things into that window.)

Juan,

It is, of course, very difficult to give any concrete advice without
knowing how your data are stored.

In any case, seaborn builds on matplotlib to provide some very advanced
visualization through very concise code.

I recommend you look into the seaborn.distplot function and
seaborn,FacetGrid class.

Matplotlib's pyplot retains quite a few vestiges from its original 
Matlab-workalike heritage; we would like to gradually eliminate those 
that no longer make sense.  One such candidate is the "hold" kwarg that 
every pyplot function has, with a "True" default.  I don't think it 
serves any useful purpose now, and getting rid of it would allow 
considerable simplification to the code and, to a lesser extent, the 
documentation.  The default behavior would not change, only the ability 
to change that behavior via either the rcParams['axes.hold'] parameter 
or the "hold" kwarg in a pyplot function call.

If you routinely use 'hold=False' and believe that removing it would be 
a mistake, please let us know.

Thanks.

Eric

If you have pip installed, installing six is simple:

pip install six

Hope that helps! :)
