[Question] Possible bug in plotting large NumPy array

Community matplotlib-users
1

Dear Matplotlib users,

I am P?ter Juh?sz and I started experimenting with this demo:
http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/subplots_demo.html.

What I then tried to achieve is to let y be a NumPy array of 2 rows, the
first holding sin(x**2) values, the second holding something else (I set
cos(x**2)), and the make the same plots as in the original demo only by
using the first row of y. Unfortunately, I was quite surprised to see that
pyplot/matplotlib only succeeds with this plotting if scatter plots or
markers are used only, instead of the usual plotting with lines. On the
other hand, with some tricks in the NumPy array (some reshapes and slicing)
I was able to make pyplot/matplotlib work for both scatter plots and the
usual simple plots. This however possibly takes much more time, so for big
datasets does not seem feasible and anyway I do not see an obvious reason
why a dataset should only work with scatter plots but not the usual, simple
plots.

Please find attached my code below and I would appreciate any
help/explanation, or it is indeed a bug, then if it could be raised to the
developers' attention.

My original trial, working only with scatter plots (see for yourself! maybe
it's only my installation what is going wrong?):

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

# Simple data to display in various forms

x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400).reshape(1, 400)

print(x.shape)

y = np.vstack((np.sin(x ** 2), np.cos(x ** 2)))

print(y[:1].shape)

plt.close('all')

# Three subplots sharing both x/y axes

f, (ax1, ax2, ax3) = plt.subplots(3, sharex=True, sharey=True)

ax1.plot(x, y[:1]) # This is not showing!

ax1.set_title('Sharing both axes')

ax2.scatter(x, y[:1])

ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:1] ** 2 - 1, color='r')

# Fine-tune figure; make subplots close to each other and hide x ticks for

# all but bottom plot.

f.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)

plt.setp([a.get_xticklabels() for a in f.axes[:-1]], visible=False)

# row and column sharing

f, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='col', sharey='row')

ax1.plot(x, y[:1]) # This is not showing!

ax1.set_title('Sharing x per column, y per row')

ax2.scatter(x, y[:1])

ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:1] ** 2 - 1, color='r')

ax4.plot(x, 2 * y[:1] ** 2 - 1, color='r') # This is not showing!

plt.show()

The working solution:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

# Simple data to display in various forms

x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400).reshape(400, 1)

print(x.shape)

y = np.vstack((np.sin(x ** 2), np.cos(x ** 2))).reshape(400, 2)

print(y[:, 0].shape)

plt.close('all')

# Three subplots sharing both x/y axes

f, (ax1, ax2, ax3) = plt.subplots(3, sharex=True, sharey=True)

ax1.plot(x, y[:, 0])

ax1.set_title('Sharing both axes')

ax2.scatter(x, y[:, 0])

ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color='r')

# Fine-tune figure; make subplots close to each other and hide x ticks for

# all but bottom plot.

f.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)

plt.setp([a.get_xticklabels() for a in f.axes[:-1]], visible=False)

# row and column sharing

f, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='col', sharey='row')

ax1.plot(x, y[:, 0])

ax1.set_title('Sharing x per column, y per row')

ax2.scatter(x, y[:, 0])

ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color='r')

ax4.plot(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color='r')

plt.show()

I did not modify anything else in the code respective to the original demo
than what I mentioned. I hope you will be able to help.

Kind regards,

P?ter

The problem is the way you are slicing your data

by doing y[:1] you are creating a 1 by 400 array. When you try to plot that
you will get 400 individual line plots each with only one point. A line
plot with one point is invisible since there in no other points to draw the
lines between. You will not notice that with scatter since it defaults to
drawing a point for each data point. If you add a marker you can see whats
going on.
I.e. do
ax1.plot(x, y[:1], 'o')
in the first example and you will notice that the points color cycle as a
new plot is created.

If you really want to slice this way you have to ensure that your data is
along the first dimension. I.e. you can do `ax1.plot(x.transpose(),
y[:1].transpose())` which plots 400 by 1 arrays

Hope that helps

Hi Jens,

Thanks very much! This indeed works. I thought PyPlot automatically detects if the data is along which axes, but fair, expecting it in a certain way is more consistent.

Many thanks for your help once again!

Best wishes,
P?ter

Hi:

I am trying to learn the basics of plotting in matplotlib. My immediate need is for displaying grayscale images with titles, axis labels & ticks and within-image annotations. Where can I get good tutorials/demos for such things?

Thanks.

Dipu,

http://matplotlib.org/ has both a gallery if images (click the image to see
the source code) and a broad, organized list of examples.

I'd start there.

f, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=*'col'*, sharey=
*'row'*)
ax1.plot(x, y[:1]) # This is not showing!
ax1.set_title(*'Sharing x per column, y per row'*)
ax2.scatter(x, y[:1])
ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:1] ** 2 - 1, color=*'r'*)
ax4.plot(x, 2 * y[:1] ** 2 - 1, color=*'r'*) # This is not showing!

plt.show()

The working solution:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Simple data to display in various forms
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400).reshape(400, 1)
print(x.shape)
y = np.vstack((np.sin(x ** 2), np.cos(x ** 2))).reshape(400, 2)
print(y[:, 0].shape)

plt.close(*'all'*)

# Three *subplots* sharing both x/y axes
f, (ax1, ax2, ax3) = plt.subplots(3, sharex=True, sharey=True)
ax1.plot(x, y[:, 0])
ax1.set_title(*'Sharing both axes'*)
ax2.scatter(x, y[:, 0])
ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color=*'r'*)
# Fine-tune figure; make *subplots* close to each other and hide x ticks
for
# all but bottom plot.
f.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)
plt.setp([a.get_xticklabels() for a in f.axes[:-1]], visible=False)

# row and column sharing
f, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=*'col'*, sharey=
*'row'*)
ax1.plot(x, y[:, 0])
ax1.set_title(*'Sharing x per column, y per row'*)
ax2.scatter(x, y[:, 0])
ax3.scatter(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color=*'r'*)
ax4.plot(x, 2 * y[:, 0] ** 2 - 1, color=*'r'*)

plt.show()

I did not modify anything else in the code respective to the original demo
than what I mentioned. I hope you will be able to help.

Kind regards,
P?ter
