Hello,
I’ve just discovered blitting
technique to improve performances.
I’m using this example http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/animation_blit_qt4.html
I encounter an issue if instead of using
subplot I use add_axes method to hand define where I want my plot.
In this case blitting is no more working
like if restore_region was not restoring context…
def init(self):
FigureCanvas.init(self,
Figure())
#self.ax =
self.figure.add_subplot(111)
self.ax =
self.figure.add_axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.2])
Any idea why in this case the example given
is not working?
Cheers,
Laurent
I haven't tested it with qt4, but with gtk, add_axes DOES work.
So, can you try other backends and see if they work?
And, I believe that add_subplot -> add_axes is a only change you made?
Unless the problem is persistent among other backends, I hope other
developers who use qt4 backend step in and help.
Regards,
-JJ

Hello,
I've tested so far with wx and QT4 backend.
The two are buggy.
Easy way to reproduce the bug (another way I mean)
ax = p.subplot(212)
ax2 = p.subplot(211)
and the two backends got the same error.
Note that I'm under windows. I'll try under linux tonight just to check.
I'll also try gtk backend as you suggest.

I've just installer GTK on windows + tested your file and it works...
Moreover, I've modified the source to make the code use QT4Agg instead of GTK and the bug does not appears.
So I think it is more an issue of misusing bliting technique in other examples.
(still your gtk example is more beautiful but 10 times slower than other examples, so is blitting really working in this case ?)
I'll dig this a little more but any idea welcome

Hey, coparing on how GTK2 example is done I've seen a difference between the two!
In QT4Agg example and WX example the code use:
canvas.copy_from_bbox(ax.bbox)
replacing all occurrence of ax.bbox with ax.get_figure().bbox solved all the issue I add.
Perhaps we should correct the examples.
I can send you the good working example if you want.
Cheers,
Laurent

Hello,
I've tested so far with wx and QT4 backend.
The two are buggy.
Easy way to reproduce the bug (another way I mean)
ax = p.subplot(212)
ax2 = p.subplot(211)
On mac with wxgtk, it works fine.
Maybe this is an windows only issue.
and the two backends got the same error.
Since nobody steped in, and I don't use windows, can you file a bug report.
Please provide a short, complete example that reproduces the bug. Also
the error message you get.

I can send you the good working example if you want.
If using ax.bbox does not work, than it is a bug (either mpl or the example).
Unfortunately, this seems to happen only on windows.
So, please file a bug report (again).

What example do you mean?
The performance will depend on complexity of the plot items that need
to be drawn every time. So, some example may be slower than others.
