I would like to extend the animated plot paradigm to an application
where I need to autoscale the vertical axis each time the plot is
updated. Any suggestions as to how to do so? I assume I need to tell
the axis to autoscale, then draw the axis' artist. However, I am not
sure how to do these things, I'm having trouble finding the
appropriate methods in the matplotlib class documentation.
Thanks,
Glenn
Hello Glenn
Do you refer to a special example?
Maybe the following helps you.
···
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from pylab import *
ion()
ax = subplot(111)
# ... some plotting
ax.relim() # reset intern limits of the current axes
ax.autoscale_view() # reset axes limits
ioff()
show()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck,
Matthias

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion. However, I am refering to the
canvas.restore_region, draw_artist, blit, gui_repaint sort of
animation.

His suggestion is still correct -- after you update the line data and
before you call draw_artist, you can acll relim and autoscale_view as
Mattias suggested. However, this will not always do what you want,
because it will autoscale both the x and the y. In animated plots,
often you are just updating the ydata an want to manually control the
xlim and autoscale the ylim (eg strip charting). In that case, I
would do :
self.ax1.relim()
self.ax1.set_ylim(*self.ax1.yaxis.major.locator.autoscale())

Hi,
Thank you for pointing that out, that does indeed do what I want
mostly. However, while the data is autoscaled to the plot, the values
on the y axis are not updated and they remain at their original
values. I suspect this is because I am not giving a command to redraw
the axes. How would I go about doing that? I think I need to blit a
larger bbox that encompasses the axes as well, but I'm not sure how to
get that.
By the way, I found that self.ax1.autoscale_view(scalex=False, scaley
= True) seems to autoscale just the y axis and seems clearer than the
set_ylim code suggested below.
Thanks again,
Glenn
