python - Matplotlib 在循环中绘制时内存不足

Question

我有一个相当简单的绘图例程，如下所示:

from __future__ import division
import datetime
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, plot, show, legend, close, savefig, rcParams
import numpy
from globalconstants import *

    def plotColumns(columnNumbers, t, out, showFig=False, filenamePrefix=None, saveFig=True, saveThumb=True):
        lineProps = ['b', 'r', 'g', 'c', 'm', 'y', 'k', 'b--', 'r--', 'g--', 'c--', 'm--', 'y--', 'k--', 'g--', 'b.-', 'r.-', 'g.-', 'c.-', 'm.-', 'y.-', 'k.-']

        rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (13,11)
        for i in columnNumbers:
            plot(t, out[:,i], lineProps[i])

        legendStrings = list(numpy.zeros(NUMCOMPONENTS)) 
        legendStrings[GLUCOSE] = 'GLUCOSE'
        legendStrings[CELLULOSE] = 'CELLULOSE'
        legendStrings[STARCH] = 'STARCH'
        legendStrings[ACETATE] = 'ACETATE'
        legendStrings[BUTYRATE] = 'BUTYRATE'
        legendStrings[SUCCINATE] = 'SUCCINATE'
        legendStrings[HYDROGEN] = 'HYDROGEN'
        legendStrings[PROPIONATE] = 'PROPIONATE'
        legendStrings[METHANE] = "METHANE"

        legendStrings[RUMINOCOCCUS] = 'RUMINOCOCCUS'
        legendStrings[METHANOBACTERIUM] = "METHANOBACTERIUM"
        legendStrings[BACTEROIDES] = 'BACTEROIDES'
        legendStrings[SELENOMONAS] = 'SELENOMONAS'
        legendStrings[CLOSTRIDIUM] = 'CLOSTRIDIUM'

        legendStrings = [legendStrings[i] for i in columnNumbers]
        legend(legendStrings, loc='best')

        dt = datetime.datetime.now()
        dtAsString = dt.strftime('%d-%m-%Y_%H-%M-%S')

        if filenamePrefix is None:
            filenamePrefix = ''

        if filenamePrefix != '' and filenamePrefix[-1] != '_':
            filenamePrefix += '_'

        if saveFig: 
            savefig(filenamePrefix+dtAsString+'.eps')

        if saveThumb:
            savefig(filenamePrefix+dtAsString+'.png', dpi=300)


        if showFig: f.show()

        close('all')

当我在单次迭代中绘制它时，它工作正常。然而，当我把它放在一个循环中的那一刻，matplotlib 抛出了一个嘶嘶声......

这发生在第 2 次迭代(从 1 开始计数)，如果这有影响的话。该代码在 Windows XP 32 位上运行，带有 python 2.5 和 matplotlib 0.99.1、numpy 1.3.0 和 scipy 0.7.1。

编辑:代码现已更新，以反射(reflect)崩溃实际上发生在调用 legend() 的事实。评论调用解决了问题，但很明显，我仍然希望能够在我的图表上放置一个图例......

Answer 1

每个循环都应该生成一个新图形吗？我没有看到你关闭它或从一个循环到另一个循环创建一个新的图形实例。

此调用将在循环结束保存当前图形后清除它:

pyplot.clf()

不过，我会重构，让您的代码更面向对象，并在每个循环上创建一个新的图形实例:

from matplotlib import pyplot

while True:
  fig = pyplot.figure()
  ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
  ax.plot(x,y)
  ax.legend(legendStrings, loc = 'best')
  fig.savefig('himom.png')
  # etc....
