Getting an object in Python Matplotlib -


to make plot, have written code in following fashion:

from pylab import *  x = [1,2,3] y = [1,2,3]  matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(x,y,label='blah') matplotlib.pyplot.legend(title='title') matplotlib.pyplot.show()

i want change font size of legend title. way go legend object , change title way (e.g., how set font size of matplotlib axis legend?)

instead of rewriting code using ax.xxx, figure.xxx, etc, there way @ legend object code have written, , go there?

that say, how define

legend

from original piece of code, such that

title = legend.get_title() title.set_fontsize(30)

would @ title object , allow me play .get_title()?

i think i'm on verge of eureka moment regarding object-orientated languages. have feeling answer give me eureka moment!

cheers,

ged

first, in code should stick using either from pylab import * , use imported methods directly, or import matplotlib.pyplot plt , plt.* instead of matplotlib.pyplot.*. both these "conventions" when comes working matplotlib. latter (i.e. pyplot) preferred scripting, pylab used interactive plotting.

to better understand difference between pylab , pyplot see matplotlib faq.

over problem @ hand; "get" object in python, assign object variable.

from pylab import *  x = [1,2,3] y = [1,2,3]  scatter(x,y,label='blah')  # assign legend object variable leg leg = legend(title='title') leg_title = leg.get_title() leg_title.set_fontsize(30)  # optionally can use one-liner #legend(title='title').get_title().set_fontsize(30)  show()

Java, Hibernate, MySQL - store UTC date-time -

i saw here on few related questions (like this one , of course, this one )... essentially, want store date-time utc, , let application user choose time zone wants display date-time in. since seems date-time fields affected underlying jdbc driver, wonder if acceptable way go storing utc date-time: set both mysql , application server machine utc time zone (no need separate) both mysql , jvm should pick underlying system time settings (if not instructed otherwise) use datetime table columns on mysql side use java.util.date corresponding mapping on hibernate side (i guess java.sql.timestamp used too) let application worry interpreting date-time fields - i.e. let user choose preferred time zone is ok? edit clarify - here meant refer timestamps created strictly on server (e.g.date-time of record creation). application server instantiates date objects (new date() equals current date-time on server, , time zone agnostic). if client user wants supply date searching/filte...
