python - Plotting candlesticks with tight resolution - understanding "width" parameters -


i have been using tutorials candlestick data , work daily charts. however, i'm guessing since rely on default behaviour matplotlib.finance candlestick function, there pieces i'm missing in understanding switching intraday.

my data looks (but convert date/time numbers prior call finance.candlestick)

                           high         low        open       close  volume        vwap 2013-09-18 18:05:00  126.343750  125.468750  125.468750  126.046875     721  126.285909 2013-09-18 18:10:00  126.296875  126.078125  126.078125  126.187500     271  126.194649 2013-09-18 18:15:00  126.234375  125.843750  126.234375  125.843750      83  126.157003 2013-09-18 18:20:00  125.984375  125.953125  125.953125  125.953125     505  125.953311 2013-09-18 18:25:00  126.250000  126.250000  126.250000  126.250000       1  126.250000 2013-09-18 18:30:00  126.250000  126.250000  126.250000  126.250000       0  126.250000

and code (stripped of attempts i've made) i'm using follows:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) ax = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.2, 0.85, 0.7]) # customization of axis ax.spines['right'].set_color('none') ax.spines['top'].set_color('none') ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom') ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left') ax.tick_params(axis='both', direction='out', width=2, length=8,                labelsize=12, pad=8) ax.spines['left'].set_linewidth(2) ax.spines['bottom'].set_linewidth(2)  ax.set_ylabel('quote ($)', size=20)  ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(fiveminutelocator) ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(oneminutelocator)  # candlestick call requires following format: #    (time, open, close, high, low, ...) print(bars.to_records()) bars.index = bars.index.map(date2num) candle_bars = bars[ ['open', 'close', 'high', 'low' ] ] candle_bars = map(list, candle_bars.to_records()) finance.candlestick(ax, candle_bars, width=0.1, colorup='g', colordown='r') plt.show()

the resulting plot follows:

plot

edit: problem lies lack of understanding of relationship between "figure.size" gather in inches, "figure.dpi", , width parameters passed in line2d , rectangles patches in matplotlib.

i don't quite how relation works. smaller range of times in (i.e. 10 millisecond bars, , total range of 10 seconds) requires tiny width in finance.candlestick plot (0.000005 seems work). larger range of times (day-bars , months of data) can use default width of 0.8.

so not understand width measured in. it's described "points". fiddling dpi in figure doesn't seem i'd want do.

html - Sizing a high-res image (~8MB) to display entirely in a small div (circular, diameter 100px) -

first of all, thank being patient know simple question more couple of weeks' experience figure out. i've seen folks persevere , helpful on here , hope you're willing me. here fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/65uzf/ here 1 of places searched answers on here: ( vertically center image thumbnails fix-sized div ) tried solutions on there , didn't work out me. i've searched ~4 or 5 others, , been unsuccessful those, too. what want take large image (what linked background-image #ysypic , #tabpic divs) , display thumbnail version of image in confines of divs have set it. is, using background properties have laid out in css, portion of image displays inside of circular divs. without these properties, display defaults smaller section of image [presumably pi*(50^2) area in top left] terrible resolution. i not care if entire image doesn't display inside of circles (it won't, given difference in shape), , overflow not being displayed fine. want able see figu

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
