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.
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

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
matplotlib.cbook.GetRealpathAndStat¶Bases: object
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)¶matplotlib.cbook.IgnoredKeywordWarning¶Bases: UserWarning
A class for issuing warnings about keyword arguments that will be ignored by matplotlib
matplotlib.cbook.Locked(path)¶Bases: object
Context manager to handle locks.

LOCKFN = '.matplotlib_lock'¶TimeoutError¶Bases: RuntimeError
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.

dict = [{'a': 3, 'b': 4}, {'a': 5, 'b': 2}, {'a': 0, 'b': 0},
{'a': 9, 'b': 9}]
sort(list) # default sort
sort(list, 1) # sort by index 1
sort(dict, 'a') # sort a list of dicts by key 'a'
byAttribute(data, attributename, inplace=1)¶byItem(data, itemindex=None, inplace=1)¶sort(data, itemindex=None, inplace=1)¶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()¶move the position forward and return the current element
home()¶push the first element onto the top of the stack
push(o)¶push object onto stack at current position - all elements occurring later than the current position are discarded
remove(o)¶remove element o from the stack
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
whis : float, string, or sequence (default = 1.5)
bootstrap : int, optional
labels : array-like, optional
autorange : bool, optional (False)

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.
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:
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
message : str, optional
name : str, optional
alternative : str, optional

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=<function is_scalar_or_string>)¶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_label(y, default_name)¶matplotlib.cbook.get_recursive_filelist(args)¶Recurse all the files and dirs in args ignoring symbolic links and return the files as a list of strings
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.

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.
Tries to get y.index (works if this is a pd.Series), if that
fails, return np.arange(y.shape[0]).
This will be extended in the future to deal with more types of labeled data.

matplotlib.cbook.local_over_kwdict(local_var, kwargs, *keys)¶Enforces the priority of a local variable over potentially conflicting argument(s) from a kwargs dict. The following possible output values are considered in order of priority:
local_var > kwargs[keys[0]] > ... > kwargs[keys[-1]]
The first of these whose value is not None will be returned. If all are None then None will be returned. Each key in keys will be removed from the kwargs dict in place.

|
|---|---|
| Returns: | out: any object
|
| Raises: | IgnoredKeywordWarning
|

corresponding to each of N uninterrupted runs of unmasked
values. If optional argument compressed is False, it returns
the start and stop indices into the original numpy.ndarray,

ii = unmasked_index_ranges(ma.getmaskarray(y))
# returns array [[0,2,] [2,4,]]
y.compressed()[ii[1,0]:ii[1,1]]
# returns array [3,4,]
ii = unmasked_index_ranges(ma.getmaskarray(y), compressed=False)
# returns array [[0, 2], [3, 5]]
y.filled()[ii[1,0]:ii[1,1]]
# returns array [3,4,]
