Just wanted to see if others thought that the following behaviour in matplotlib plot_date was buggy, or if it's just something I should put up with.
I have a multi-panel plot that I set up with sharex to facilitate zoom/pan on all axes, and I plot time series data in both panels. However, in the second panel, all of the data happens to be invalid (in this example I mask it).
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure,show
from datetime import datetime,timedelta
from numpy import sin,cos,linspace,pi,ma,array
fig=figure(figsize=(16,9))
ax1=fig.add_subplot(211)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(212,sharex=ax1)
# xdata is seconds
xdata=linspace(0,9999,10000)
tdata=array([datetime(2000,1,1)+timedelta(seconds=ss) for ss in xdata])
data1=ma.masked_array(sin(pi*xdata/300),mask=False)
data2=ma.masked_array(cos(pi*xdata/300),mask=True)
ax1.plot_date(tdata,data1,marker='',color='r')
ax2.plot_date(tdata,data2,marker='',color='b')
show()
I'd expect (prefer) it to just show up a blank panel, not to fail and give me a long unhelpful traceback. Is this the expected behaviour?
Notes:
This script also fails if I use ax.plot(...) instead of ax.plot_date(...)
It works fine (i.e. gives me an empty panel) if I just plot against xdata, not the datetime array tsdata (but I have to use ax1.set_xlim(xdata[0],xdata[-1]) to get a sensible domain displayed):
ax1.plot(xdata,data1,marker='',color='r')
ax2.plot(xdata,data2,marker='',color='b')
ax1.set_xlim(xdata[0],xdata[-1])
show()
I have just realised I can rescue the above plot by forcing the ax2 limits right before the show() command. I still think that the failure in the main example is inelegant:
ax2.set_xlim(tdata[0],tdata[-1])
show()
What do the experts think?
Thanks!
F.Y.I., This was on matplotlib 1.1.0, compiled from source on my PC.

If you suspect this is an IPython bug, please report it at:

Yes, I would call this a bug, or at least an oversight which looks like it has been fixed (via #ali_m https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/162).
I was getting this exception, but that was on a version of 1.3.x from June (my bad, thought I had a more current version on this computer). Current master does not have this problem and #ali_m reports that it also works on 1.2.1 and 1.3.0 so I suspect the fix is to upgrade you version of matplotlib.
What looks like is going on is that there isn't a check in the code that sorts out where to put the ticks has no check to make sure you have given in non-empty data.
The reason that setting the limits explicitly prevents the error is that the code never tries to figure out what the range of your empty data is.
Please create a github issue for this (and include the trace back in the issue).

I am using maplotlib's Basemap to draw maps of the world and want to include longitude and latitude lines. This can be done using drawmeridians() and drawparallels(), but the linestyle of the corresponding lines can only be set via the keyword dashes. According to the documentation, see see here, is should work as follows:
dash pattern for meridians (default [1,1], i.e. 1 pixel on, 1 pixel off)
I tried dashes=[1,0] but that did not worked. Is there any simple way to have solid linestyle?
Here is my code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots(1,1)
map1 = Basemap( resolution='l', projection='mill',
llcrnrlat=-60., llcrnrlon=-180.,
urcrnrlat=90., urcrnrlon=180. )
map1.drawcoastlines()
map1.drawmapboundary( fill_color='aqua' )
map1.fillcontinents( color='coral', lake_color='aqua' )
# labels=[left,right,top,bottom]
map1.drawparallels( np.arange(-80.,81.,20.), labels=[True,True,False,False] )
map1.drawmeridians( np.arange(-180.,181.,40.), labels=[False,False,True,True] )
plt.show()
Here is the resulting map:
Edit 1: I just tried on a different computer and there it works, i.e. dashes=[1,0] results in solid linestyle. The version used on that computer are (according to a pip freeze)
basemap==1.2.0
matplotlib==2.2.3
As soon as I have access again to the original computer, I'll check what is going on there (and which versions are installed).
Edit 2: Being back at the computer where it did not worked, I can now tell a bit more. First, the following versions are used:
basemap==1.1.1
matplotlib==3.0.2
Then the error message (which I forgot to include previously):
ValueError: All values in the dash list must be positive
Edit 3: For the sake of completeness (and since it was partly helpful to hunt down the solution), here is the full Traceback:

I would appreciate if anyone can assist me with the error, without changing the matlibplot code but only the auto code. I have read through the code but did not find anything suspicious.
I ran into this error using a given equation and auto file. But if you use matplotlib 2.0 and auto07p to plot most graphs in general, you are very likely to get this error if you zoom on the graph.
I used the files as the following:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!ArJqyyCr1FQOhkITst8JdVK_mIFV
Put them in auto folder.
Run auto.
and type:
auto("couple2.auto")
Thanks.

but then if I remove these matplotlib options and I remove the labels the figures are saved on the computing node without a problem.
How can I use latex for typesetting the figures on the computing node?
I'm trying to plot with seaborn.kdeplot with LaTeX labels. What I tried is the following:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.set(font_scale=1.5, rc={'text.usetex' : True})
x = np.linspace(-50,50,100)
y = np.sin(x)**2/x
fig = plt.figure(1)
sns.set_style('white')
sns.kdeplot(np.array(y), label='hey')
fig.gca().set(xlabel=r'$e(t_0)$ [s]', ylabel='PDF')
fig.savefig("seaborntest.png", close = True, verbose = True)
Running this I've got the following error:

What could be the problem? The strange thing is that I got this error even if I remove the line adding the labels. What is the proper way of using LaTeX in seaborn plot labels?
If you do not have latex install on your machine, this could be causing errors.
For Linux users try installing Latex:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended dvipng cm-super
If in notebook, restart the Kernel, and then the font should display using Latex.
I'm writing a lab report for uni and have decided to use pyplot to draw a graph for it. The units for one of my axes is V^(-1), but I can't seem to get matplotlib to write that with the power in superscript (it only superscripts the minus sign) when using the code:
plt.xlabel('$1/U (10^5 V ^-1 )$')
I'd also like to match the fonts used for the axes titles with that used for the values on the axes if at all possible. I've tried putting:
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
plt.rc('font', family='serif')
at the beginning of my code, but that gives me the error:

Here is the full report generated by LaTeX:
Any help would be much appreciated.
For the superscript add { } around the text that should be super scripted. For the fonts i don't know the solution.
plt.xlabel('$1/U (10^5 V ^{-1} )$')
