Good morning,
I have an odd problem with saving plot images via the navigation bar
(unsure if it is unique to the navigation bar) if I have added custom
text.
BACKGROUND.
I have a python gui which is used to connect to some hardware as a
diagnosis tool. Its a pyGTK program and on one ui tab there is an
embeded matplotlib plot.
Now some of the signals I plot rather than being a waveform is more of
a collection of flags (16bit but thats a by and by)
eg:
fault
0 = fault1
0 = fault2
1 = fault3
0 = fault4
so for this I can plot this and it will show 2 (possibly changing w.r.t. time).
I then hook in via a onpick event such that if I click on a plot I
essentially do this:
self.figtxt =
self.fig.text(0.79,0.92,'\n'.join(txt),va='top',
bbox=dict(boxstyle='round', facecolor='white',alpha=0.7))
self.plot_marker =
self.plot_area.plot(xdata,ydata,'x',color=event.artist.get_color(),ms=7)
ie I put a cross where someone clicked (for indication) and I also
create a texxbox which lists human readable version of what bits are
set.
Great, really helpful in debugging.
The issue is if you click on the save image icon on the navigation
toolbar it saves the waveform and legend BUT not the additional
content (the cross and the textbox).
any idea as to how todo this?

Hi,
I am preparing figures with the following matplotlib preamble:
plt.rc('font', **{'family':'serif', 'serif':['Computer Modern Roman'],
'monospace':['Computer Modern Typewriter']})
params = {'backend': 'ps',
'text.latex.preamble': [r"\usepackage{upgreek}",
r"\usepackage[nice]{units}"],
'axes.labelsize': 12,
'text.fontsize': 12,
'legend.fontsize': 8,
'xtick.labelsize': 10,
'ytick.labelsize': 10,
'text.usetex': True,
'figure.figsize': fig_size,
'axes.unicode_minus': True}
plt.rcParams.update(params)
But when using subscript and superscript in math mode the sizes end up
different than in my LaTeX document (my .cls is using "book" as base class).
Attached are two screenshots of it rendered from matplotlib and from
Latex (sorry for the different sizes). The "mean" is clearly of
different size in relation to the "d".
Is there an option to specify a .cls file in rcParams that should be
used for rendering?
I tried:
text.latex.preamble': [r"\documentclass[twoside]{mycls}",
r"\usepackage{upgreek}",
r"\usepackage[nice]{units}"],
but then I get the error:
! LaTeX Error: Two \documentclass or \documentstyle commands.
How to overwrite default matplotlib one? my matplotlibrc has a commented
preamble.

Is it possible that you could make a simple, self-contained version (hopefully it doesn't need to be embedded to reproduce the problem)? Maybe a modification of one of the existing examples in the online docs might be able to reproduce your issue? Ben Root |

This might have been fixed at one point. Which version of matplotlib are
you using?

I found the solution. My LaTeX file uses the package amsmath, which
also loads amstext. And that is invoked when using \text{} or
\textnormal{} inside a formula.<br>
<br>
So the solution in matplotlib is to add the following to the
preamble:<br>
'text.latex.preamble': [r"\usepackage{upgreek}",<br>
r"\usepackage[nice]{units}",<br>
<span class="comment-copy"><code>r"\usepackage{amstext}"</code></span>],<br>
<br>
I was using matplotlib 1.1, now updated to 1.1.1, but that did not
affect it. Also, I am not using the built-in LaTeX typesetting.<br>

Well I have narrowed down exactly what causes it and produced a
stripped down piece of code that reproduces the effect.
It is related to events. I use mpl_connect to connect two functions
#1 onpick - when a plot is picked annotate plot (in practice IF it is
a binary array then annotate)
#2 onpress - click anywhere else and it clears said annotation.
Works well (probably not the best way todo this, but it works). Thing
is it seems my onpress method is called when I click on the save on
the toolbar
I guess I should add an if statement ( if event.inaxis ...) so that
the remove method isn't called outside of the axes area
#!/usr/bin/env python
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, show
import numpy as np
fig = figure()
text = None
x = np.arange(0,10,0.2)
y = np.arange(10,20,0.2)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(x,y,picker=5)
def onpick(event):
global text
x = event.artist.get_xdata()[event.ind][0]
y = event.artist.get_ydata()[event.ind][0]
text = ax.annotate('foo',xy=(x,y),xytext=(0.8,
0.9),textcoords='axes fraction')
fig.canvas.draw()
def onpress(event):
global text
try:
text.remove()
except:
fig.canvas.draw()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', onpress)
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('pick_event', onpick)
show()

Because of how you structured your try/except statement in onpress(), the canvas is only re-drawn upon any unsuccessful attempts of removing the text. So, after you save, you still see the text objects there because the canvas hasn't been redrawn. Doing a test for "event.inaxes" is the correct way to go there (and making sure you do the draw at the right situation). Cheers! Ben Root |

Thats the plan. The problem is clicking on a plot calls both onpick and onpress (hence the additional fig.canvas.draw() to work around this). ill put a flag in and do an if/else on that as well |
