pcolor or contour

hi i have been trying to use pcolor and/or contour to make a contor map
or intensity map
i want to do an intensity or contour map of an electric field
i have an array (or list) of points [x,y] and for each point i have the respective value of the electric field (in another list)

i have tried the examples in matplotlib but they are different because they use meshgrid
and from the points calculated in the mesh get values and plot…
in my case i want to plot directly…each poin (x,z) its magnitude(E_fiel_Mag)
i do not think i need to use meshgrid any more how can i do my plot?
below is my
code…pls help me!!!

#!/usr/bin/env python

This example demonstrates how to use a constraint polygon in

Delaunay triangulation.

from scipy import*
from pylab import*

read_file= open (‘W:/Serio/necfile.out’,‘r’)

L =read_file.readlines()

fieldlist =
f = 0
for line in L:
f=f+1
if 'NEAR ELECTRIC FIELDS’in line:

            rpoints = 3
            phipoints = 3
             tetapoints =

1

            for line in range (f+3,f+4+rpoints*phipoints*tetapoints):
                    fieldlist.append(L[line])

Ex = ;Ey = ;Ez =
x1 =;y1=;z1=
Exphase=; Eyphase=; Ezphase=

for i in range(len(fieldlist)-1):

    splitlines= fieldlist[i].split()
    

    x1.append(float(splitlines[0]))     #here we pick up the x,y,x coordinates of the points
    y1.append(float(splitlines[1]))     #where the manitude has been calculated
    z1.append(float(splitlines[2]))

    Ex.append(float(splitlines[3]))     #pick up the e-filed magnitudes
    Ey.append(float(splitlines[5]))     #u append as floats instead os string for later calculations
    Ez.append(float(splitlines[7]))

    Exphase.append(float(splitlines[4])) # pick up the phases just in case they are needed

Eyphase.append(float(splitlines[6]))
Ezphase.append(float(splitlines[8]))
read_file.close()

i want to see if i can calculate the magnitude of the electric field

E_field_Mag =
for i in range(len(Ex)):
E_Magnitude = sqrt((Ex[i])**2 + (Ey[i])**2+(Ez[i])**2)
E_field_Mag.append(E_Magnitude)

#E_field_Mag = array(E_field_Mag)

#y values are zero
#X,Z = meshgrid(x1, z1)

pcolor(x1,y1,E_field_Mag)

Is it a rotten egg?

Googling around has indicated that the X11 stuff wasn’t available when the
numpy and matplotlib were made. The gtk files and “-devel” seem to be there
when I do an “rpm -qa”. I went and got a new numpy from source and did
“python setup.py install”. It is interesting that when I get in to python
now, I can do:

import gtk
import numpy
import matplotlib

and they all just return the prompt, indicating, I thought, that the
programs were installed ok.

Here is the naive question → Is there something wrong, then with a
“from pylab import *”? The user is trying to do that.

No, that should work fine. I don’t know how the egg-based
matplotlib/pylab should work with the installed-from-source numpy,
though. If the versions are compatible, then I expect it would work.

You gave a traceback resulting from “from pylab import *” after
installing the two eggs, correct? If so, what was the result after you
installed numpy from source? I would expect no difference, because the
problem reported in the traceback is a missing matplotlib module, not a
missing numpy module.

Or did you mean that you installed matplotlib from source? That would
make more sense, and certainly should work if all the right header files
and libraries are present.

If you installed matplotlib from
source, what do you get from
ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/*.so

Another diagnostic would be to delete the build directory from the
matplotlib source tree (assuming you are now building matplotlib from
source), and save the output from the “python setup.py build” command.
This should make it clear whether the necessary headers really were found.

Hi Eric, John,

Have either of you been following this thread?

I am now :slight_smile:

As Eric suggests, None is overloaded vis-a-vis color handling, because
for mpl properties it generally means do the default as defined by rc.
For colors people often want to use None for “no color” which is why
we added support for the string “None”. Does
this work in your use

I am having the same problem as Eugen, and the suggested solution of using
a.xaxis.get_major_locator().refresh()
to force the creation of the full set of ticklabels doesn’t seem to work for
me.

matplotlib creates a prototypical tick (the prototick) and then
creates new ones on as as needed basis, copying properties from the
prototick. Of course, position is one of the properties that cannot
be copied, which is why you are having trouble in your example.
Fortunately, there is an easy solution.

Call ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks() and access the label attribute:

for tick in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks():

label = tick.label1

Axis.get_major_ticks will force a call to the locator and update the
tick list. The Axes methods like get_xticklabels are just working on
the existing tick list rather than calling the get_major_ticks method
which is why you are not getting the full list. This is a bug. I
just made changes in svn so that all the accessor methods
(ax.get_xticklines, ax.get_yticklabels, and friends) all trigger a
call to axis.get_major_ticks rather so they should give the same
results going forward.

JDH

FYI, the Tick attributes are:

  tick1line  : a Line2D instance
  tick2line  : a Line2D instance
  gridline   : a Line2D instance
   label1     : a Text

instance
label2 : a Text instance
gridOn : a boolean which determines whether to draw the tickline
tick1On : a boolean which determines whether to draw the 1st tickline
tick2On : a boolean which determines whether to draw the 2nd tickline
label1On : a boolean which determines whether to draw tick label
label2On : a boolean which determines whether to draw tick label

Hello.

I’ve been having trouble getting Unicode characters to render. I just
get a box in the title of my figure, rather than the character I need.

Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3,4])
title(u"\u0251")
savefig(“test.eps”)
savefig(“test.png”)
show()

That character is LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA. It’s used in the
International Phonetic Alphabet.

I’m on Linux and I’m using matplotlib 0.90.1-2 (debian package
version). I have a few TTF fonts in my system that contain that
glyph. One is ‘Arial Unicode MS’, which I copied from my windows
machine.

As you can see, I will need to generate an EPS that renders
the
character… That EPS file will be imported into MS Word on a Windows
PC and printed.

I will happily use any solution that allows me to use that character
in the final product… :slight_smile: It doesn’t have to be unicode…

I believe that my fonts are configured correctly on this Linux
system–I can use the Arial Unicode MS font in Open Office. However,
I’m not sure that MPL is finding them.

When I point the TTFPATH environment variable a directory that only
contains ARIALUNI.TTF, I get gibberish for all characters in my
figure.

When I use ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc to list Arial Unicode MS as the
only font in the san-serif family, I don’t observe any change in the
text in the figure.

…I did successfully instantiate an FT2FONT object out of my
ARIALUNI.TTF file, but, I didn’t know what to do with it at that
point.

Help?

Cheers,

Hi Dirk,

If you haven’t already done so, look at the numpy.ma <http://numpy.ma/>
module. It provides a masked array
object that
deals gracefully with
missing values. To the best of my knowledge, most matplotlib functions
understand masked arrays and deal with it accordingly, exception made of
those requiring a full matrix (such as contour). Take a look at

contour handles masked arrays correctly, as far as I know; contourf has
some bugs in its masked array handling, but depending on the type and
distribution of voids, it may still be good enough.

pcolor and image have no problems with masked arrays.

Eric

examples/image_masked.py. Also, in the Basemap toolkit, there is at
least one example showing how to plot a masked array on a map.

Cheers,

David
