Just a quick question to see if anyone has plotted a mplot3d scatter 
plot inside a Traits dialog?

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone has done it. But it's definitely doable. Any
matplotlib plot can be put inside a traits view but it needs a
separate editor. Please refer to this
-http://gael-varoquaux.info/computers/traits_tutorial/traits_tutorial.html#making-a-traits-editor-from-a-matplotlib-plot

Got it going ok and yes I did a bit of a cut and paste of Gael's example 
code.
I get a 3D scatter plot but I don't have the interactive zoom/pan 
controls working but I suppose that is hardly surprising as they are 
matplotlib GUI interactions rather than Traits GUI interactions.

It is indeed possible to get the matplotlib zoom and pan operations
into the dialog. Out of curiosity, which part of the MPLFigureEditor
did you use?

Thanks

My code.....

import matplotlib.pyplot as mplplt
from mpl_figure_editor import MPLFigureEditor
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

....
     def create_plot(self):
         ....
         self.figure=mplplt.figure()
         ax = self.figure.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
         .....
         ax.scatter(xarray, yarray, zarray, c='b', marker='o')

         ax.set_xlabel(xvar.name)
         ax.set_ylabel(yvar.name)
         ax.set_zlabel(self.name)

         mplplt.ion()

Got the zoom working. I was overwriting my 'figure' which led to the 
zoom/rotate controls not working.

I just need to work out how to colour code my circles on my scatter plot 
now. They are all one colour. But that is a matplotlib question, not a 
Traits one.

Thanks to Gael for his work on this.

Scanning my mail quickly, I just saw that (one is primed to his name :$).

Thanks for you thanks :). It's a pleasure to see that this code is still
available.

 ^usefull, I meant.

Just another question about how Traits wraps around matplotlib...

I use a Treeeditor so quite often my application comes out of one view 
to display another in the rhs pane.

I'm using...

from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

and in my RZThing class definition I have...

figure=Instance(Figure)
axes3d=Instance(Axes3D)

and then in my class method to create the plot I go

self.figure=mplplt.figure()
self.axes3d = self.figure.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

This works ok the first time.

But if I go to another RZThing object in my tree (which creates a view 
for that instance of RZThing) and then come back to my original RZThing 
I get error messages such as....

  File "c:\program files\rezen27\rz_traits.py", line ..., in rebuildPlot2a
     self.axes3d = self.figure.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
   File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.py", line 777, 
in add_subplot

When I embed a matplotlib 3D scatter plot in my Traits app I can rotate, 
zoom etc but I don't get the x,y,z positional info down below the plot 
(and below the matplotlib buttons).
You do get that when running a standalone matplotlib script. But in 
Traits that part of the window/plot is not displayed. Anyone have an 
idea whether this is a Traits or a matplotlib issue?

The x,y,z positional information is in a status bar. Status bars are
part of the decoration of full-blown windows, not embedded widgets.
When you embed a matplotlib plot inside of a Traits UI, you are just
embedding the plain plot widget. If you know how to get this
information out of the matplotlib plot widget, then you can push it
into a Traits UI StatusBar:

  https://github.com/enthought/traitsui/blob/master/examples/demo/Advanced/Statusbar_demo.py

Or just a "readonly" Item on a Str trait, if you want to put it
somewhere else in the UI.

I'm afraid that I don't know how to get this information out of the
matplotlib plot widget. You will have to consult its documentation,
source, or mailing list.

OK, I thought that was probably the case. I'll keep looking in the 
matplotlib documentation.

Thanks for the confirmation.
