This can be done very easily (for any artist) with a minor
modification of artist.py. The base class forewards all drawing to
the derived classes so no other changes are required. Just replace
artist.py with the attached file below and then you can do:

    from matplotlib.matlab import *

    x = arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.05)
    l1, l2 = plot(x, sin(2*pi*x), x, sin(4*pi*x))
    l1.set_visible(False)
    show()

artist.py (2.77 KB)

Sæl !

Thanks for the change of the artist class. It should do exaclty what I want
I modified artist accordingly (no more 'transform' defined ?
I can run you example witout problem.

But If I implement it in my program which is embedded within gtk with the object_picker, it does not work:

If I try to set_visible on lines I just define with plot I get an error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./novi.py", line 604, in ?
    main()
  File "./novi.py", line 576, in main
    MaxP = plot_Haps(canvas, map, Haps)
  File "./novi.py", line 367, in plot_Haps
    line = plot_hap(canvas, map, h, sym[s])
  File "./novi.py", line 389, in plot_hap
    line.set_visible(Plot.False)
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'set_visible'

And this happens even if I redo the full installation of matplotlib 0.51:

This is my routine:

def plot_hap(canvas, map, h , symbol, size=None):
  """ plot the specific haplotype """

  lh=len(h.haplist)
  Xrange=[map[m] for m in [y for x,y in h.haplist]]
  Yrange=[-math.log10(h.pval) for i in range(lh)]
  line=canvas.figure.axes[0].plot(Xrange, Yrange, symbol)
  line.set_visible(Plot.False)
  return line

Any idea ?

Thanks
