Howdy,
I’m a recent refugee from GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) and am very happy to have found matplotlib.
I’ve been having one nagging issue however that I must resolve as I require this ability. Basically, I need to mask 2d arrays and plot the result with pcolor via basemap.
From the documentation it seems this should be fairly straight forward and I’m hoping that this is the case.
Here is an example of problem.
···
from pylab import *
import matplotlib.numerix.ma as ma # matplotlibrc has numerix : numpy
from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap, shiftgrid, addcyclic
import numpy as N
.
.
.
im = 144
jm = 93
lons = N.array([0., … 357.5],dtype=float)
lats = N.array([-90., … 90.],dtype=float)
topo_screen = N.zeros((jm,im),dtype=‘float’)
topo_screen[10] = 1
new_test = 100.*
N.ones((jm,im),dtype=‘float’)
masked_test = ma.masked_where(topo_screen,new)
This works and a screen dump of masked_test seem correct.
A call to pcolor however results in the following:
matplotlib version 0.90.1
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
units is True
platform is linux2
numerix numpy 1.0.1
.
.
.
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/ma.py:604: UserWarning: Cannot automatically convert masked array to numeric because data is masked in one or more locations.
Is this an embarrassingly simple error on my part? I hope so. Any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Mike,
pcolor has had masked array support for a long time. Please send a minimal but complete example of a script that fails; based on what you sent below, I can't tell what the problem is.
