如何在matplotlib中使用极轴上的对数比例

Question

我试图创建一个极坐标图，在径向轴上有一个对数刻度，但我一直得到一个错误。下面是一些示例代码和错误。在笛卡尔坐标系下似乎很好，有人知道发生了什么吗

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm

bazbins = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 360)
fbins = np.logspace(np.log10(0.05), np.log10(0.5), 101)
theta, r = np.meshgrid(bazbins, fbins) 

# Set up plot window
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,9))#, subplot_kw=dict(projection='polar'))

# polar
ax.set_theta_zero_location('N')
ax.set_theta_direction(-1)
ax.set_rscale('log')

# carthesia
#ax.set_yscale('log')

# Plot data
#ax.pcolormesh(theta, r, r)
plt.gca().invert_yaxis()
ax.contourf(theta, r, r)
ax.set_ylim((0.0, 0.5))
plt.show()

Tkinter回调中出现异常：

Answer 1

更新为matplotlib v3.3.4

• 更新def scatter_logpolar_mpl以使用'symlog'，因为使用'log'会导致posx and posy should be finite values，并且'log-polar matplotlib'的绘图为空

# updated function with symlog
def scatter_logpolar_mpl(ax, theta, r):
    ax.scatter(theta, r)
    ax.set_rlim(0)
    ax.set_rscale('symlog')
    ax.set_title('log-polar matplotlib')

# use other unchanged original functions

# setup the plot
r = np.arange(0, 3.0, 0.01) + 0.001

theta = 2 * np.pi * r

ax = plt.subplots(1, 3, subplot_kw=dict(polar=True), figsize=(12, 7))[1].flatten()
scatter_polar_mpl(ax[0], theta, r)
scatter_logpolar_mpl(ax[1], theta, r)
scatter_logpolar(ax[2], theta, r)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

原始答案

当前matplotlib和对数极坐标图存在更多问题

例如，尝试为极坐标图的matplotlib example中的半径添加一个小值，然后使用set_rlim(0)和set_rscale('log')对其进行绘制（如这里的注释所示）。所有低于0.1的值都会得到一些特殊处理。这会影响r轴上的刻度（注意完全错位的10e-2和10e-3）以及打印数据：

这种行为似乎没有记录在案。我最终手动完成了日志转换（上面系列中的第三个绘图）。对于遇到此线程的其他人，以下是我的代码：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def scatter_polar_mpl(ax, theta, r):
    ax.scatter(theta, r)
    ax.set_rlim(0)
    ax.set_title('polar matplotlib')
    
def scatter_logpolar_mpl(ax, theta, r):
    ax.scatter(theta, r)
    ax.set_rlim(0)
    ax.set_rscale('log')
    ax.set_title('log-polar matplotlib')
    
def scatter_logpolar(ax, theta, r_, bullseye=0.3, **kwargs):
    min10 = np.log10(np.min(r_))
    max10 = np.log10(np.max(r_))
    r = np.log10(r_) - min10 + bullseye
    ax.scatter(theta, r, **kwargs)
    l = np.arange(np.floor(min10), max10)
    ax.set_rticks(l - min10 + bullseye) 
    ax.set_yticklabels(["1e%d" % x for x in l])
    ax.set_rlim(0, max10 - min10 + bullseye)
    ax.set_title('log-polar manual')
    return ax
    
r = np.arange(0, 3.0, 0.01) + 0.001

theta = 2 * np.pi * r

ax = plt.subplots(1, 3, subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))[1].flatten()
scatter_polar_mpl(ax[0], theta, r)
scatter_logpolar_mpl(ax[1], theta, r)
scatter_logpolar(ax[2], theta, r)

plt.show()

当我在设置绘图窗口的行中取出注释时，它会为我运行

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm

bazbins = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 360)
fbins = np.logspace(np.log10(0.05), np.log10(0.5), 101)
theta, r = np.meshgrid(bazbins, fbins) 

# Set up plot window
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,9), subplot_kw=dict(projection='polar'))

# polar
ax.set_theta_zero_location('N')
ax.set_theta_direction(-1)
ax.set_rscale('log')

plt.gca().invert_yaxis()
ax.contourf(theta, r, r)
ax.set_ylim((0.0, 0.5))
plt.show()

这似乎是matplotlib中的一个错误。您不应该在set_rscale（或set_yscale）之前调用set_rlim（或set_ylim）方法。此外，必须使用0或0.0作为下限调用set_rlim或set_ylim。下限的其他值也会导致崩溃。这个问题也发生在其他后端（我已经确认了gtkagg和pdf后端的问题）

我为这个问题提交了一份bug报告，可以在here找到。如果此问题影响您，请转到错误报告页面并留下评论，让matplotlib开发人员知道此问题对用户很重要
