python - Intelligently calculating chart tick positions -

-

whatever i'm using matplotlib, open-flash-charts or other charts frameworks end needing find way set x/y scales limits , intervals since builtins not enough smart (or not @ all...)

just try in pylab (ipyhton -pylab) understand mean:

in [1]: a, b, x = np.zeros(10), np.ones(10), np.arange(10)  in [2]: plot(x, a); plot(x, b)

you'll see , empty frame grid hiding 2 horizontal lines under it's top , bottom borders.

i wonder if there algorithm around (that can port python) set smartly top , bottom y limits , steps , calculate every how many values show x thick.

for example, let's have 475 measures (datetime, temperature) (x, y) with

2011-01-15 10:45:00 < datetime < 2011-01-17 02:20:00

(one every 5 minutes) and

26.5 < temperature < 28.3

my suggestion particular case set:

26.4 <= y_scale <= 28.4 thick every .2

and tick on x_scale every 12 items (once per hour).

but if have 20 measures on 20 days -21.5 < temperature < 38.7, , on? there standardized method around?

the following i've used years simple , works enough. forgive me being c translating python shouldn't difficult.

the following function needed , graphic gems volume 1.

double nicenumber (const double value, const int round) {   int    exponent;   double fraction;   double nicefraction;    exponent = (int) floor(log10(value));   fraction = value/pow(10, (double)exponent);    if (round) {     if (fraction < 1.5)        nicefraction = 1.0;     else if (fraction < 3.0)       nicefraction = 2.0;     else if (fraction < 7.0)       nicefraction = 5.0;     else       nicefraction = 10.0;    }   else {     if (fraction <= 1.0)       nicefraction = 1.0;     else if (fraction <= 2.0)       nicefraction = 2.0;     else if (fraction <= 5.0)       nicefraction = 5.0;     else       nicefraction = 10.0;    }    return nicefraction*pow(10, (double)exponent);  }

use in following example choose "nice" start/end of axis based on number of major ticks wish displayed. if don't care ticks can set constant value (ex: 10).

      //input parameters   double axisstart = 26.5;   double axisend   = 28.3;   double numticks  = 10;    double axiswidth;   double newaxisstart;   double newaxisend;   double nicerange;   double nicetick;      /* check special cases */   axiswidth = axisend - axisstart;   if (axiswidth == 0.0) return (0.0);      /* compute new nice range , ticks */   nicerange = nicenumber(axisend - axisstart, 0);   nicetick = nicenumber(nicerange/(numticks - 1), 1);      /* compute new nice start , end values */   newaxisstart = floor(axisstart/nicetick)*nicetick;   newaxisend = ceil(axisend/nicetick)*nicetick;    axisstart = newaxisstart; //26.4   axisend = newaxisend;     //28.4

i want make logharitmic fit. keep getting runtime error: optimal parameters not found: number of calls function has reached maxfev = 1000 i use following script. can tell me go wrong? use spyder still beginner. import math import matplotlib mpl scipy.optimize import curve_fit import numpy np #data f1=[735.0,696.0,690.0,683.0,680.0,678.0,679.0,675.0,671.0,669.0,668.0,664.0,664.0] t1=[1,90000.0,178200.0,421200.0,505800.0,592200.0,768600.0,1036800.0,1371600.0,1630800.0,1715400.0,2345400.0,2409012.0] f1n=np.array(f1) t1n=np.array(t1) plt.plot(t1,f1,'ro',label="original data") # curvefit def func(t,a,b): return a+b*np.log(t) t=np.linspace(0,3600*24*28,13) popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, t, f1n, maxfev=1000) plt.plot(t, func(t, *popt), label="fitted curve") plt.legend(loc='upper left') plt.show() your original data t1 , f1 . therefore curve_fit should given t1 second argument, not t . popt, pcov = curve_fit(func,...

binding - How can you make the color of elements of a WPF DrawingImage dynamic? -

-
we have need make vector graphic images change color of elements within graphic @ runtime. seem setting colors based on either static or dynamic resource values wouldn't work. want have multiple versions of same graphic, each abilty set graphic elements (path, line, etc) different colors don't think dynamic resource approach work. leaves data binding seems right approach. update graphic use data binding expr instead of hard-coded brush color so: <drawingimage x:key="graphic1"> <drawingimage.drawing> <drawinggroup> <drawinggroup.children> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 8.4073,23.9233l"> <geometrydrawing.pen> <pen linejoin="round" brush="{binding line1brush, mode=oneway}"/> </geometrydrawing.pen> </geometrydrawing> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 3.6875,2.56251l"> <geometrydrawing....
