Hi everybody,
In my own application, I want to specialize matplotlib.lines.Line2D to be
able to deal with units.
Concerning this class, is there a direct means to plot instances?
For example, if I do:
a=matplotlib.lines.Line2D([5,6],[7,8],color='m')
To plot it, I have not found another way than doing:
plot(a.get_xdata(), a.get_ydata())
But it is clumsy, because if I want to keep the line color:
plot(a.get_xdata(), a.get_ydata(), a.get_color())
And so on for marker style, etc.
Is there a direct means to plot a Line2D instance?
Some time ago, a colleague wrote a "Curve_2D" class from scratch, to store a
2D curve, independently from matplotlib. Instead of that, I would like to be
able to specialize Line2D matplotlib class.
Am I compelled to write a .plot() method to Line2D?
In other words, when I do:
a=plot((1,2),(2,3),'r--')
I obtain a Line2D instance:
a[0]
<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x954d08c>
I would like to do the contrary: define a Line2D instance, and then plot
this Line2D. The goal is to avoid re-inventing the wheel in my application,
as did my colleague.
Thanks a lot for your help
Julien
