I have tried to make a plot of points with longitude and latitude coordinate, and draw shaded area with distance from one point. So, I thought that I could uae contourf function from matplotlibrary. My code is: import haversine import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt with open(filin, 'r') as f: arrays = [map(float, line.split()) for line in f] newa = [[x[1],-x[2]] for x in arrays]
lat = np.zeros(275) lon = np.zeros(275) for c in range(0,275): lat[c] = newa[c][0] lon[c] = newa[c][1] with open(filin, 'r') as f: arrays = [map(float, line.split()) for line in f] newa = [[x[1],-x[2]] for x in arrays] lat = np.zeros(275) lon = np.zeros(275) for c in range(0,275): lat[c] = newa[c][0] lon[c] = newa[c][1] dis = np.zeros(275) for c in range(0,275): dis[c] = haversine.distance(newa[0],[lat[c],lon[c]]) dis1 = [[]]*1 for c in range(0,275): dis1[0].append(dis[c]) cs = plt.contourf(lon,lat,dis1) cb = plt.colorbar(cs) plt.plot(-lon[0],lat[0],'ro') plt.plot(-lon[275],lat[275],'ko') plt.plot(-lon[1:275],lat[1:275],'bo') plt.xlabel('Longitude(West)') plt.ylabel('Latitude(North)') plt.gca().invert_xaxis() plt.show() My idea in this code was that I could made a shaded contour by distance from a certain point which was noted as newa[0] in the code. I calculated distances between newa[0] and other points by haversine module which calculate distances with longitudes and latitudes of two points. However, whenever I ran this code, I got the error related to X, Y or Z in contourf such as: TypeError: Length of x must be number of columns in z, and length of y must be number of rows. IF I use meshgrid for X and Y, I also get: TypeError: Inputs x and y must be 1D or 2D. I just need to draw shaded contour with distance from one point on the top of the plot of each point. If you give any idea or hint, I will really apprecite. Thank you, Isaac -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
