Hi All, I'm using matplotlib (with agg backends) from recent svn: In [63]: matplotlib.__version__ Out[63]: '0.87.4' and I can't seem to get contour() or contourf() to utilize the alpha keyword. No matter what value I set, alpha=1.0 on the output. Alpha in general works fine, as the scatter_demo2.py example gives very nicely alpha-channeled output. Any ideas?

Scott, Please send a minimal example that I can use as a test case. This sounds vaguely familiar. Thanks.

Hi Eric, This shows what I'm talking about: -------------------- from pylab import * delta = 0.025 x = arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta) y = arange(-2.0, 2.0, delta) X, Y = meshgrid(x, y) Z1 = bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0) Z2 = bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.5, 0.5, 1, 1) # difference of Gaussians Z = 10.0 * (Z2 - Z1) contourf(X, Y, sin(Y)*cos(X), alpha=0.2) hot() contour(X, Y, Z, 6, linewidths=4, colors=('r', 'green', 'blue', (1,1,0), '#afeeee', '0.5'), alpha=0.4) show() ------------------- On Thursday 31 August 2006 13:50, Eric Firing wrote: > Scott, > > Please send a minimal example that I can use as a test case.

Scott, This is fixed now in svn. (I will probably go back shortly and make another change to improve efficiency.) There was a one-line bug in contour.py, but the fundamental problem was that colors.ColorConverter (which handles color inputs for collections, among other things) was stripping off the alpha value and replacing it with 1.0. Thanks for highlighting the bug.

Eric, Now that this bug is sorted, will it enable pcolormesh to use alpha = 0 to not plot missing data? --George. |

George, Unfortunately not--it is a completely different bug. A while ago I tracked the pcolormesh alpha bug down into the bowels of the quadmesh code, where it is making fairly low-level Agg calls. I didn't write quadmesh, I have never dealt with Agg directly, and I don't think I can afford the time that it would take for me to understand it--assuming I could. So, I've been unable to fix the pcolormesh alpha bug. I think it will require an Agg wizard, preferably one of the original quadmesh authors. Eric |
