I just learned about the (new?) picker features in matplotlib. That is a
fantastic development!
Someone else mentioned about having a problem though when the points are
clustered together, which brings me to my question:
Is there a way to "browse" through the data points using the tab key?
What I
envision is that a particular point would have a "focus" because it had
previously been picked, and then you would press a key (such as tab) and
it
would move the focus to another point, in essence picking another point
in
the data set.
The TAB key is a little problematic, because it is already used by
some GUI toolkits, but this kind of thing is fairly easy to do. MPL
gives you access to the button press events, key press events, etc, so
all you have to do is connect up the callbacks to what you want your
figure to do.
Here is an example of a "data browser" which uses 'n' and 'p' to move
through the next and previous points after a mouse select.
import numpy as npy
from pylab import figure, show
X = npy.random.rand(100, 200)
xs = npy.mean(X, axis=1)
ys = npy.std(X, axis=1)
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(211)
ax.set_title('click on point to plot time series')
line, = ax.plot(xs, ys, 'o', picker=5) # 5 points tolerance
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(212)
class PointBrowser:
"""
Click on a point to select and highlight it -- the data that
generated the point will be shown in the lower axes. Use the 'n'
and 'p' keys to browse through the next and pervious points
"""
def __init__(self):
self.lastind = 0
self.text = ax.text(0.05, 0.95, 'selected: none',
transform=ax.transAxes, va='top')
self.selected, = ax.plot([xs[0]], [ys[0]], 'o', ms=12, alpha=0.4,
color='yellow', visible=False)
def onpress(self, event):
if self.lastind is None: return
if event.key not in ('n', 'p'): return
if event.key=='n': inc = 1
else: inc = -1
self.lastind += inc
self.lastind = npy.clip(self.lastind, 0, len(xs)-1)
self.update()
def onpick(self, event):
if event.artist!=line: return True
N = len(event.ind)
if not N: return True
# the click locations
x = event.mouseevent.xdata
y = event.mouseevent.ydata
distances = npy.hypot(x-xs[event.ind], y-ys[event.ind])
indmin = distances.argmin()
dataind = event.ind[indmin]
self.lastind = dataind
self.update()
def update(self):
if self.lastind is None: return
dataind = self.lastind
ax2.cla()
ax2.plot(X[dataind])
ax2.text(0.05, 0.9, 'mu=%1.3f\nsigma=%1.3f'%(xs[dataind],
ys[dataind]),
transform=ax2.transAxes, va='top')
ax2.set_ylim(-0.5, 1.5)
self.selected.set_visible(True)
self.selected.set_data(xs[dataind], ys[dataind])
self.text.set_text('selected: %d'%dataind)
fig.canvas.draw()
browser = PointBrowser()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', browser.onpick)
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('key_press_event', browser.onpress)
show()
Can that be done in a straight-forward way? Thanks,
j
