matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 3)

Note: I'm looking at the Picker examples now and one problem I see is that
I'm not asking the user to click on data points, but anywhere on the axes.

For my application which is a simple sound file editor written with
matplotlib and PyQt4, I want to detect left and right clicks on the canvas.
I need to know the data coordinates of the click (i.e., not where on the
screen the click occurred, but what data point as defined by the axes it
represents). How do I do this?

Mike

In fact I guess it could also be related with the display card of the PC I
am using. I find I have different quality on my two different laptops (one
with fedora and one with ubuntu). But it's getting too complicated ... I
don't want to got this far and so let us forget about this.

Cheers,

Chao

Yes, in fact I set dpi as 1000, which is already very high. In fact I have
another question, will there be any difference if I use the save button on
the interactive plotting toolbar and use the command line
figure.savefig('xx.png',dpi=1000)?

OK, I tried but I don't really see the difference between jpg and png by my
eyes in the attached case, maybe for other more complicated plots there
will be real difference. Anyway, thanks to all for your nice discussions.
And, BTW, I tried >2 hours trying to find a way to convert svg to emf, but
now I konw :p

Cheers,

Chao

JPGs will *always* have "bit blur" as it is a lossy image format. PNGs
would be a better bet.

Hi all,

Thank you all for your kind response. I am sorry, but none of these
solutions significantly improved the visual quality on microsoft powerpiont
2007. Thought I didn't try eps. So probably l have to go with the current
quality.
here is a best case I have now:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uhjogalz92hssm/different_figure_example.pptx
You can still see the "a bit blur" everywhere (currently with jpg being
inserted directly). I didn't have better quality than this one by trying
the method as suggested by you. Let me know if I am raising too much high
demand for this.

Cheers,

Chao

​Another alternative, if a vector graphics format doesn't work, is to make
your png figure large.  Then when you shrink it down to fit in your slide,
it should still have good resolution.

Mac is kind of my blind spot, thanks for pointing out that EPS is a viable format there.

Windows does not handle the PS part of EPS for screen display. You will only see a preview image, and only if it was
embedded into the EPS. Printing is be fine though, if you have a PS printer.

While SVG isn't supported, EPS is... sort of.  Be very careful going
between windows and mac versions of Powerpoint. While they both support
EPS, they seem to do it differently and I have had to make emergency fixes
to presentations while at conferences because they were using Windows and I
only had access to Linux and Macs at home.

No Powerpoint version I know supports SVG (or any vector graphics format useful in this case) and Matplotlib does not
export WMF graphics anymore. So the easiest way is to use PNGs, if you can live with raster graphics.

Alternatively, if you need vector graphics, you can export the Matplotlib plot as SVG and convert it to WMF or EMF using
Inkscape. This can be done in the command line like this:

"c:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48\inkscape.exe" --without-gui --export-emf="output.emf" "input.svg"

Make sure to save into a vector graphic format so it can be resized.  Try pdf or 
svg (don't know if M$ supports svg though)

Sorry hit send by accident?

What parameters are you passing to `savefig`?

For a presentation, I would save as a .png file, a higher resolution and a
transparent background. e.g.:

fig.savefig('myfig.png', dpi=600, bbox_inches='ticht', transparent=True)

Thank you.

It's hidden away, but a script to do this type of thing exists.  For a 
long time it was effectively our testing mechanism--run all the examples 
and scan the results to see if they looked right.  It is 
examples/tests/backend_driver.py.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Note that I did get FuncAnimation to work 
perfectly well except I have little control over the timing so I had a  
hard time synchronizing it with the sound. The FuncAnimation example I 
looked at wasn't very helpful if the question is how to blit or other 
details, because that's all going on behind the scenes. I will study the 
Stack Overflow Q&A and see if there is something I can directly use.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Have you tried blitting? That prevents the draw from redrawing everything
on the plot, allowing it to only redraw the single line that's moving,
which should help any issues with speed. See some of the
examples<http://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/index.html>with
FuncAnimation and also a Q&A using the draw method
here<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8955869/why-is-plotting-with-matplotlib-so-slow/8956211#8956211>,
which might work more smoothly with QTimer.

Dear all,

Did anyone try to make plots using matplotlib, and then put the figure in
the powerpoint for presentation? Currently I am using the ipython notebook
--pylab mode to make the plots, and then save them to *jpg format. But when
I put it into the powerpoint, it does not look nice as I see on the screen
(a little bit blurred). You can really not notice it if you don't examine
carefully. But I really want to make high quality slides. So does anyone
have the same problem? could it be related with the figure format or
backend (GTKAgg) currently I am uisng? thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Chao

I'm creating a simple little sound file editor, which includes the ability
to play a sound file as a vertical line (a "cursor") moves across the plot
of the waveform in sync with the sound. So the trick is, how to create this
moving line. First I tried FuncAnimation, but I had problems with the
synchronization with the sound. I'm guessing that the animation
capabilities of matplotlib weren't really designed to be synchronized with
outside activities. So then I tried using QTimer's and modifying the Line2D
instance that is the vertical bar. This didn't work unless I called draw()
on the figure canvas every time I modified the Line2D, which caused
slowdown (probably because my audio data consists of 1000's of points).

So is there a way to animate a vertical line moving across the plot with
good control over exact timing, in the presence of other plots with
thousands of points?

If you want to clear the axes, call the "cla()" or "clear()" method.
If you want to remove an artist such as a line, call its "remove()" method.

I agree. What is needed is a listing of methods by category instead of 
all together as a single alphabetical list.  In the meantime, you might 
find browsing the User Guide to be of some help.  Also, the "Quick 
Search" box can help.

This will clear the figure:

plt.clf()

Is this what you're looking for, or just to pop one plot form the stack?

Sorry for what is a beginnerish question but I'm having  a hard time using
the docs. I want to remove a previous plot from an axes. How do I do this?

Incidentally, it makes the docs hard to use that there are so many methods
on Axes which are spread a great distance over the page. It would be nice
to have a concise listing of the methods of Axes.

Note that I'm not using pyplot, but I think the term for what I'm doing is
using the API. I'm subclassing FigureCanvas in PyQt, creating a Figure, and
creating an axes using Figure.add_subplot().

matplotlib is impressive in its capabilities, I didn't realize how much so
until I download from the git, and made a little script to run all of the
examples.

I'm way too much of a newbie here to check anything in, but I thought
someone may find this trinket useful.  As written, it should be in the
'matplotlib/examples' directory named 'runAll.py', if someone is so inclined
to check it in.  Feel free to edit or eviscerate it or whatever.

Are there any webagg examples you could point me to?  With webagg configured as the backend in my matplotlibrc and the following code, my browser opens after the call to show() with a webpage “MPL | WebAgg current figures” and a link to “Figure 1”, but I don’t get any plot, before or after clicking the link …

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as pyplot
>>> import numpy
>>> pyplot.plot(numpy.random.random(100))
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x103398f90>]
>>> pyplot.show()
