问题
When I plot a function in matplotlib, the plot is framed by a rectangle. I want the ratio of the length and height of this rectangle to be given by the golden mean ,i.e., dx/dy=1.618033...
If the x and y scale are linear I found this solution using google
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as pl
golden_mean = (np.sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0
dy=pl.gca().get_ylim()[1]-pl.gca().get_ylim()[0]
dx=pl.gca().get_xlim()[1]-pl.gca().get_xlim()[0]
pl.gca().set_aspect((dx/dy)*golden_mean,adjustable='box')
If it is a log-log plot I came up with this solution
dy=np.abs(np.log10(pl.gca().get_ylim()[1])-np.log10(pl.gca().get_ylim()[0]))
dx=np.abs(np.log10(pl.gca().get_xlim()[1])-np.log10(pl.gca().get_xlim()[0]))
pl.gca().set_aspect((dx/dy)*golden_mean,adjustable='box')
However, for a semi-log plot, when I call set_aspect, I get
UserWarning: aspect is not supported for Axes with xscale=log, yscale=linear
Can anyone think of a work-around for this?
回答1:
the most simple solution would be to log your data and then use the method for lin-lin.
you can then label the axes to let it look like a normal log-plot.
ticks = np.arange(min_logx, max_logx, 1)
ticklabels = [r"$10^{}$".format(tick) for tick in ticks]
pl.yticks(ticks, ticklabels)
if you have higher values than 10e9 you will need three pairs of braces, two pairs for the LaTeX braces and one for the .format()
ticklabels = [r"$10^{{{}}}$".format(tick) for tick in ticks]
Edit: if you want also the ticks for 0.1ex ... 0.9ex, you want to use the minor ticks as well: they need to be located at log10(1), log10(2), log10(3) ..., log10(10), log10(20) ...
you can create and set them with:
minor_ticks = []
for i in range(min_exponent, max_exponent):
for j in range(2,10):
minor_ticks.append(i+np.log10(j))
plt.gca().set_yticks(minor_labels, minor=True)
