[chaco] issue with ColorMapper

[fred-2]

Hi all,

In the following CME, I set two renderers in two plots.

If I put the second renderer in the first plot, the two ColorMapper are
then equals!!

cmap my_plot <enthought.chaco.color_mapper.ColorMapper object at 0x33e6530>
cmap my_plot2 <enthought.chaco.color_mapper.ColorMapper object at 0x34a4590>
plot container: {'my_plot2':
[<enthought.chaco.colormapped_scatterplot.ColormappedScatterPlot object
at 0x34a4890>], 'my_plot':
[<enthought.chaco.colormapped_scatterplot.ColormappedScatterPlot object
at 0x33e6650>]}
***** cmap my_plot <enthought.chaco.color_mapper.ColorMapper object at
0x34a4590> cmap my_plot2 <enthought.chaco.color_mapper.ColorMapper
object at 0x34a4590> ********

What am I doing wrong????

TIA

Cheers,

Between here and the next print statement, you have a third
plot.plot() call that overrides the my_plot2 plot with the first
color_mapper.

Sorry, Robert, I don't understand you :-/

I have two instances of Plot, each one with a renderer.

I want to put the second Plot renderer in the first Plot.

As color_mapper is an attribute of the renderer, and not the Plot
itself, I don't understand why adding the second renderer overrides
the color_mapper of the first renderer...

In other words, how could I put two renderers with different
color_mapper in a single Plot?

TIA

Ah. If you take a look at the implementation of Plot.plot(), you will
see that cmap_scatter plots share the same color_mapper (just like all
plots share the same index_mapper and value_mapper).

You can explicitly add a Renderer using Plot.add_xy_plot(). This will
bypass the extra machinery that you don't want.

Mmmh...

I can have different color_mapper in one Plot.

The issue just comes when added to the Plot container.
But after, I can set different color_mapper in the same Plot.

Thanks!!

I'll look at it asap!

The docstring says:

Add a BaseXYPlot renderer subclass to this Plot.

     Parameters
     ----------
     index_name : str
         The name of the index datasource.
     value_name : str
         The name of the value datasource.
     renderer_factory : callable
         The callable that creates the renderer.
     name : string (optional)
         The name of the plot.  If None, then a default one is created
         (usually "plotNNN").
     origin : string (optional)
         Which corner the origin of this plot should occupy:
             "bottom left", "top left", "bottom right", "top right"
     **kwds :
         Additional keywords to pass to the factory.

But I don't understand how I can apply this to my example... :-/

plot.add_xy_plot('index2', 'value2', ColormappedScatterPlot,
    name = 'my_plot2',
    color_data = plot._get_or_create_datasource('color2'),
    color_mapper = cmap,
    marker = "circle",
    fill_alpha = 0.5,
    marker_size = 6,
    outline_color = "black",
    border_visible = True,
    bgcolor = "white")
