I'm struggling on an application combining wxPython and matplotlib.
I want to embed an animated matplotlib object in an wxPanel. The Data should be added on runtime.
My Module Code:
(i cant get the correct formatting, see http://pastebin.com/PU5QFEzG )
'''
a panel to display a given set of data in a wxframe as a heatmap, using pcolor
from the matplotlib
@author: me
'''
import wx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.animation as animation
from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas #todo: OW 26.10.15 needed?
class plotPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
self.figure = plt.Figure()
self.subplot = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
plt.title('test')
self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure) #ToDo: OW 26.10.15 Verstehen
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.Fit()
self.dataSet = []
self.animator = animation.FuncAnimation(self.figure,self.anim, interval=1000)
def anim(self, a):
if(len(self.dataSet) == 0):
return 0
i = a % len(self.dataSet)
obj = self.subplot.pcolor(self.dataSet[i], cmap='RdBu')
return obj
def add_data(self, data):
self.dataSet.append(data)
#
# Code for a standalone test run
#
class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self,parent,title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,title=title,size=(1000,1000))
self.statusbar = self.CreateStatusBar()
self.statusbar.SetStatusText('Status Bar')
if __name__ == '__main__':
from numpy.random import rand #todo: OW 26.10.15 remove
app = wx.App(redirect=False)
frame = TestFrame(None, 'Debug Frame')
panel = plotPanel(frame)
frame.Show()
C = rand(10,10)
panel.add_data(C)
C = rand(10,10)
panel.add_data(C)
C = rand(10,10)
panel.add_data(C)
app.MainLoop()
Im now struggeling on adding more Details to the Graph, eg a colorbar or a title.
If I add self.subplot.title = 'test'
in the anim_Fkt, i get "'str' object has no attribute 'get_animated'". If i try plt.title('test')
, it has no effect. Whats the correct way to add a title or a colorbar or a legend?
To add the features to an embedded matplotlib graph, you have to use object-oriented matplotlib API. A matplotlib graph consists of a figure (a matplotlib.figure.Figure
instance), which has one or several axes ( matplotlib.axes.Axes
instances) in it. Each of them, in their turn, contains Drawables
(lines, images, scatter plots etc).
A title can be added (or modified) to the Figure
or to each Axes
with setter methods, such as Figure.suptitle
or Axes.set_title
(or, in your case, self.figure.suptitle()
or self.subplot.set_title
).
The colorbar is a little bit trickier, as it needs a data object (a mappable) to be created: we can create it only in the anim
function. Also, wo do not want to create many colorbar
instances; once created, we only need to update it. Achieving that is easy: instantiate self.colorbar
with None
in constructor, and then check it against None
in animation function: if it is None
, then create colorbar, if it is not, then update it:
class plotPanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
...
self.colorbar = None
def anim(self, a):
...
self.subplot.set_title("Frame %i" % a)
if self.colorbar is None:
self.colorbar = self.figure.colorbar(obj)
else:
self.colorbar.update_normal(obj)
self.colorbar.update_normal(obj)
return obj
