cbook

cbook

matplotlib.cbook

A collection of utility functions and classes. Originally, many (but not all) were from the Python Cookbook ? hence the name cbook.

This module is safe to import from anywhere within matplotlib; it imports matplotlib only at runtime.

class matplotlib.cbook.Bunch(**kwds)

Bases: object

Often we want to just collect a bunch of stuff together, naming each item of the bunch; a dictionary?s OK for that, but a small do- nothing class is even handier, and prettier to use. Whenever you want to group a few variables:

>>> point = Bunch(datum=2, squared=4, coord=12)
>>> point.datum

class matplotlib.cbook.CallbackRegistry

Bases: object

Handle registering and disconnecting for a set of signals and callbacks:

>>> def oneat(x):
...    print('eat', x)
>>> def ondrink(x):
...    print('drink', x)
>>> from matplotlib.cbook import CallbackRegistry
>>> callbacks = CallbackRegistry()
>>> id_eat = callbacks.connect('eat', oneat)
>>> id_drink = callbacks.connect('drink', ondrink)
>>> callbacks.process('drink', 123)
drink 123
>>> callbacks.process('eat', 456)
eat 456
>>> callbacks.process('be merry', 456) # nothing will be called
>>> callbacks.disconnect(id_eat)
>>> callbacks.process('eat', 456)      # nothing will be called

In practice, one should always disconnect all callbacks when they are no longer needed to avoid dangling references (and thus memory leaks). However, real code in matplotlib rarely does so, and due to its design, it is rather difficult to place this kind of code. To get around this, and prevent this class of memory leaks, we instead store weak references to bound methods only, so when the destination object needs to die, the CallbackRegistry won?t keep it alive. The Python stdlib weakref module can not create weak references to bound methods directly, so we need to create a proxy object to handle weak references to bound methods (or regular free functions). This technique was shared by Peter Parente on his ?Mindtrove? blog.

connect(s, func)

register func to be called when a signal s is generated func will be called

disconnect(cid)

disconnect the callback registered with callback id cid

process(s, *args, **kwargs)

process signal s. All of the functions registered to receive callbacks on s will be called with *args and **kwargs

class matplotlib.cbook.GetRealpathAndStat

Bases: object

class matplotlib.cbook.Grouper(init=())

Bases: object

This class provides a lightweight way to group arbitrary objects together into disjoint sets when a full-blown graph data structure would be overkill.

Objects can be joined using join(), tested for connectedness using joined(), and all disjoint sets can be retreived by using the object as an iterator.

The objects being joined must be hashable and weak-referenceable.

For example:

>>> from matplotlib.cbook import Grouper
>>> class Foo(object):
...     def __init__(self, s):
...         self.s = s
...     def __repr__(self):
...         return self.s
...
>>> a, b, c, d, e, f = [Foo(x) for x in 'abcdef']
>>> grp = Grouper()
>>> grp.join(a, b)
>>> grp.join(b, c)
>>> grp.join(d, e)
>>> sorted(map(tuple, grp))
[(a, b, c), (d, e)]
>>> grp.joined(a, b)
True
>>> grp.joined(a, c)
True
>>> grp.joined(a, d)
False
clean()

Clean dead weak references from the dictionary

get_siblings(a)

Returns all of the items joined with a, including itself.

join(a, *args)

Join given arguments into the same set. Accepts one or more arguments.

joined(a, b)

Returns True if a and b are members of the same set.

remove(a)
exception matplotlib.cbook.IgnoredKeywordWarning

Bases: UserWarning

A class for issuing warnings about keyword arguments that will be ignored by matplotlib

exception matplotlib.cbook.MatplotlibDeprecationWarning

Bases: UserWarning

A class for issuing deprecation warnings for Matplotlib users.

In light of the fact that Python builtin DeprecationWarnings are ignored by default as of Python 2.7 (see link below), this class was put in to allow for the signaling of deprecation, but via UserWarnings which are not ignored by default.

http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html#the-future-for-python-2-x

byAttribute(data, attributename, inplace=1)
byItem(data, itemindex=None, inplace=1)
sort(data, itemindex=None, inplace=1)
class matplotlib.cbook.Stack(default=None)

Bases: object

Implement a stack where elements can be pushed on and you can move back and forth. But no pop. Should mimic home / back / forward in a browser

back()

move the position back and return the current element

bubble(o)

raise o to the top of the stack and return o. o must be in the stack

clear()

empty the stack

empty()
forward()

class matplotlib.cbook.Xlator

Bases: dict

All-in-one multiple-string-substitution class

Example usage:

text = "Larry Wall is the creator of Perl"
adict = {
"Larry Wall" : "Guido van Rossum",
"creator" : "Benevolent Dictator for Life",
"Perl" : "Python",
}

print(multiple_replace(adict, text))

xlat = Xlator(adict)
print(xlat.xlat(text))
xlat(text)

Translate text, returns the modified text.

matplotlib.cbook.align_iterators(func, *iterables)

This generator takes a bunch of iterables that are ordered by func It sends out ordered tuples:

(func(row), [rows from all iterators matching func(row)])

It is used by matplotlib.mlab.recs_join() to join record arrays

matplotlib.cbook.allequal(seq)

Return True if all elements of seq compare equal. If seq is 0 or 1 length, return True

matplotlib.cbook.allpairs(x)

return all possible pairs in sequence x

Condensed by Alex Martelli from this thread on c.l.python

matplotlib.cbook.alltrue(seq)

Return True if all elements of seq evaluate to True. If seq is empty, return False.

matplotlib.cbook.boxplot_stats(X, whis=1.5, bootstrap=None, labels=None, autorange=False)

Returns list of dictionaries of statistics used to draw a series of box and whisker plots. The Returns section enumerates the required keys of the dictionary. Users can skip this function and pass a user-defined set of dictionaries to the new axes.bxp method instead of relying on MPL to do the calculations.

Parameters:

X : array-like

Data that will be represented in the boxplots. Should have 2 or fewer dimensions.

whis : float, string, or sequence (default = 1.5)

As a float, determines the reach of the whiskers past the first and third quartiles (e.g., Q3 + whis*IQR, QR = interquartile range, Q3-Q1). Beyond the whiskers, data are considered outliers and are plotted as individual points. This can be set this to an ascending sequence of percentile (e.g., [5, 95]) to set the whiskers at specific percentiles of the data. Finally, whis can be the string 'range' to force the whiskers to the minimum and maximum of the data. In the edge case that the 25th and 75th percentiles are equivalent, whis can be automatically set to 'range' via the autorange option.

bootstrap : int, optional

Number of times the confidence intervals around the median should be bootstrapped (percentile method).

labels : array-like, optional

Labels for each dataset. Length must be compatible with dimensions of X.

autorange : bool, optional (False)

When True and the data are distributed such that the 25th and 75th percentiles are equal, whis is set to 'range' such that the whisker ends are at the minimum and maximum of the data.

Returns:

bxpstats : list of dict

A list of dictionaries containing the results for each column of data. Keys of each dictionary are the following:

Key Value Description
label tick label for the boxplot
mean arithemetic mean value
med 50th percentile
q1 first quartile (25th percentile)
q3 third quartile (75th percentile)
cilo lower notch around the median
cihi upper notch around the median
whislo end of the lower whisker
whishi end of the upper whisker
fliers outliers

Notes

Non-bootstrapping approach to confidence interval uses Gaussian- based asymptotic approximation:

General approach from: McGill, R., Tukey, J.W., and Larsen, W.A. (1978) ?Variations of Boxplots?, The American Statistician, 32:12-16.

class matplotlib.cbook.converter(missing='Null', missingval=None)

Bases: object

Base class for handling string -> python type with support for missing values

is_missing(s)
matplotlib.cbook.dedent(s)

Remove excess indentation from docstring s.

Discards any leading blank lines, then removes up to n whitespace characters from each line, where n is the number of leading whitespace characters in the first line. It differs from textwrap.dedent in its deletion of leading blank lines and its use of the first non-blank line to determine the indentation.

It is also faster in most cases.

matplotlib.cbook.delete_masked_points(*args)

Find all masked and/or non-finite points in a set of arguments, and return the arguments with only the unmasked points remaining.

Arguments can be in any of 5 categories:

  1. 1-D masked arrays
  2. 1-D ndarrays
  3. ndarrays with more than one dimension
  4. other non-string iterables
  5. anything else

The first argument must be in one of the first four categories; any argument with a length differing from that of the first argument (and hence anything in category 5) then will be passed through unchanged.

Masks are obtained from all arguments of the correct length in categories 1, 2, and 4; a point is bad if masked in a masked array or if it is a nan or inf. No attempt is made to extract a mask from categories 2, 3, and 4 if np.isfinite() does not yield a Boolean array.

All input arguments that are not passed unchanged are returned as ndarrays after removing the points or rows corresponding to masks in any of the arguments.

A vastly simpler version of this function was originally written as a helper for Axes.scatter().

matplotlib.cbook.deprecated(since, message='', name='', alternative='', pending=False, obj_type='function')

Decorator to mark a function as deprecated.

Parameters:

since : str

The release at which this API became deprecated. This is required.

message : str, optional

Override the default deprecation message. The format specifier %(func)s may be used for the name of the function, and %(alternative)s may be used in the deprecation message to insert the name of an alternative to the deprecated function. %(obj_type) may be used to insert a friendly name for the type of object being deprecated.

name : str, optional

The name of the deprecated function; if not provided the name is automatically determined from the passed in function, though this is useful in the case of renamed functions, where the new function is just assigned to the name of the deprecated function. For example:

def new_function():
    ...
oldFunction = new_function

alternative : str, optional

An alternative function that the user may use in place of the deprecated function. The deprecation warning will tell the user about this alternative if provided.

pending : bool, optional

If True, uses a PendingDeprecationWarning instead of a DeprecationWarning.

Examples

Basic example:

@deprecated('1.4.0')
def the_function_to_deprecate():
    pass
matplotlib.cbook.dict_delall(d, keys)

delete all of the keys from the dict d

matplotlib.cbook.exception_to_str(s=None)
matplotlib.cbook.file_requires_unicode(x)

Returns True if the given writable file-like object requires Unicode to be written to it.

matplotlib.cbook.finddir(o, match, case=False)

return all attributes of o which match string in match. if case is True require an exact case match.

matplotlib.cbook.flatten(seq, scalarp=)

Returns a generator of flattened nested containers

For example:

>>> from matplotlib.cbook import flatten
>>> l = (('John', ['Hunter']), (1, 23), [[([42, (5, 23)], )]])
>>> print(list(flatten(l)))
['John', 'Hunter', 1, 23, 42, 5, 23]

matplotlib.cbook.get_sample_data(fname, asfileobj=True)

Return a sample data file. fname is a path relative to the mpl-data/sample_data directory. If asfileobj is True return a file object, otherwise just a file path.

Set the rc parameter examples.directory to the directory where we should look, if sample_data files are stored in a location different than default (which is ?mpl-data/sample_data` at the same level of ?matplotlib` Python module files).

If the filename ends in .gz, the file is implicitly ungzipped.

seq is a list of words. Return the index into seq such that:

len(' '.join(seq[:ind])<=N

.

matplotlib.cbook.index_of(y)

A helper function to get the index of an input to plot against if x values are not explicitly given.

y : scalar or array-like

The proposed y-value

Returns:

x, y : ndarray

The x and y values to plot.

Parameters:

local_var: any object

The local variable (highest priority)

kwargs: dict

Dictionary of keyword arguments; modified in place

keys: str(s)

Name(s) of keyword arguments to process, in descending order of priority

Returns:

Raises:

IgnoredKeywordWarning

For each key in keys that is removed from kwargs but not used as the output value

A mapping between a canonical name to a list of aliases, in order of precedence from lowest to highest.

If the canonical value is not in the list it is assumed to have the highest priority.

required : iterable, optional

A tuple of fields that must be in kwargs.

forbidden : iterable, optional

A list of keys which may not be in kwargs

allowed : tuple, optional

A tuple of allowed fields. If this not None, then raise if kw contains any keys not in the union of required and allowed. To allow only the required fields pass in () for allowed

Raises:
