You can emulate gradients using matplotlib images -- either with colormaps or
defining your own rgba endpoints for the gradients. Here's an example
of an axes background gradient
from pylab import figure, show, nx, cm
fig = figure()
xmin, xmax = xlim = 0,2
ymin, ymax = ylim = -1,1
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim,
autoscale_on=False)
X = [[.6, .6],[.7,.7]]
ax.imshow(X, interpolation='bicubic', cmap=cm.Blues,
extent=(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax), alpha=1)
t = nx.arange(xmin, xmax,0.01)
ax.plot(t, nx.sin(2*nx.pi*t), lw=2, color='black')
show()
Likewise, you can make your own gradient bars charts:
from pylab import figure, show, nx, cm
def gbar(ax, x, y, width=0.5, bottom=0):
X = [[.6, .6],[.7,.7]]
for left,top in zip(x, y):
right = left+width
ax.imshow(X, interpolation='bicubic', cmap=cm.Blues,
extent=(left, right, bottom, top), alpha=1)
fig = figure()
xmin, xmax = xlim = 0,10
ymin, ymax = ylim = 0,1
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, xlim=xlim, ylim=ylim,
autoscale_on=False)
X = [[.6, .6],[.7,.7]]
ax.imshow(X, interpolation='bicubic', cmap=cm.copper,
extent=(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax), alpha=1)
N = 10
x = nx.arange(N)+0.25
y = nx.mlab.rand(N)
gbar(ax, x, y, width=0.7)
ax.set_aspect('normal')
show()
Viewer discretion is advised.
If you want to get clever, you can define patterns and fills this way
too. We should add an interface to expose this functionality more
readily...
