在绘制循环时,Matplotlib内存不足

我有一个相当简单的绘图程序,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时,matplotlib会抛出一个合适的......

这发生在迭代2(从1开始计算),如果这有所不同。代码在Windows XP 32位上运行,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,以反映崩溃实际发生在调用legend()的事实。评论这个问题可以解决这个问题,但很明显,我仍然希望能够在我的图表上添加一个传奇......

我也遇到过这个错误。似乎已经解决了什么

while True:
    fig = pyplot.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
    ax.plot(x,y)
    ax.legend(legendStrings, loc = 'best')
    fig.savefig('himom.png')
    #new bit here
    pylab.close(fig) #where f is the figure

现在稳定地运行我的循环,内存波动但没有一致的增加

答案 1 :(得分:19)

每个循环是否应该生成一个新数字?我没有看到你关闭它或从循环到循环创建一个新的图形实例。

此调用将在循环结束时保存后清除当前数字:

pyplot.clf()

我会重构,并使你的代码更加OO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....

答案 2 :(得分:11)

ninjasmith的回答也为我工作 - pyplot.close()使我的循环工作。

来自pyplot教程,Working with multiple figures and axes

  

您可以使用clf()和当前数据清除当前数字   轴cla()。如果你发现这种状态,烦人,不要   绝望,这只是一个对象周围的薄状态包装器   面向API,您可以使用它(参见Artist tutorial

     

如果要制作一长串数字,则需要注意   还有一件事:数字所需的内存并不完全   释放,直到使用close()明确关闭该数字。删除   所有对图的引用,和/或使用窗口管理器来杀死   屏幕上出现图形的窗口是不够的,   因为在调用close()之前,pyplot会维护内部引用。
