Alternative Curve Styles - cytoscape.js

Is it possible to import our own curve-style instead of the default cytoscape ones? e.g. bezier, unbundled-bezier, haystack etc.
Thanks,

You can specify arbitrary straight line segments or curves. Unless your line shape is somehow not in those two categories, the existing lines suffice.

How do I plot different trials with separate lines with equal styles using FacetGrid in seaborn?

My pandas dataset has velocity curves for different trials of an experiment and for different conditions ('shifts'). I want to plot the velocity lines for each trial in the same facet per condition, but without specifying that I want the trials to influence a style they are just plotted in one continuous line, where the end of the first is connected to the start of the second line, and so on. This also means I can't use alpha values to see where the velocity curves are most dense, because it's just one big line. Is there a way to separate them?
this is what it looks like without separation
this is what it's supposed to look like, just not with different hues for each line
This is the code I used for the second example
grid = sns.FacetGrid(half_second_df, col='shift', hue='trial', col_wrap=3)
grid.map(plt.plot, 't_rel_sacc', 'yaw_velo', linewidth=0.5, alpha=0.3)

How do I save color mapped array of same dimensions of the original array?

I have data that I would like to save as png's. I need to keep the exact pixel dimensions - I don't want any inter-pixel interpolation, smoothing, or up/down sizing, etc. I do want to use a colormap, though (and mayber some other features of matplotlib's imshow). As I see it there are a couple ways I could do this:
1) Manually roll my own colormapping. (I'd rather not do this)
2) Figure out how to make sure the pixel dimenensions of the image in the figure produced by imshow are exactly correct, and then extract just the image portion of the figure for saving.
3) Use some other method which will directly give me a color mapped array (i.e. my NxN grayscale array -> NxNx3 array, using one of matplotlibs colormaps). Then save it using another png save method such as scipy.misc.imsave.
How can I do one of the above? (Or another alternate)
My problem arose when I was just saving the figure directly using savefig, and realized that I couldn't zoom into details. Upscaling wouldn't solve the problem, since the blurring between pixels is exactly one of the things I'm looking for - and the pixel size has a physical meaning.
EDIT:
Example:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
X,Y = np.meshgrid(np.arange(-50.0,50,.1), np.arange(-50.0,50,.1))
Z = np.abs(np.sin(2*np.pi*(X**2+Y**2)**.5))/(1+(X/20)**2+(Y/20)**2)
plt.imshow(Z,cmap='inferno', interpolation='nearest')
plt.savefig('colormapeg.png')
plt.show()
Note zooming in on the interactive figure gives you a very different view then trying to zoom in on the saved figure. I could up the resolution of the saved figure - but that has it's own problems. I really just need the resolution fixed.
It seems you are looking for plt.imsave().
In this case,
plt.imsave("filename.png", Z, cmap='inferno')

Selecting a single color from a matplotlib colormap in Juila

I'm constructing a graph plot in Julia and need to color each edge of the graph differently, based on some weighting factor. I can't find a way to get a specific RGB (or HSV, it doesn't matter) value from a colormap. Let's say I'd like to get the RGB value on 'jet' that would correspond to a data value of n on imshow plot.
In python, I would just use jet(n), where n is the value along the colormap in which I am interested. PyPlot in Julia doesn't seem to have wrapped this functionality. I've also already tried indexing into the cmap object returned from get_cmap(). Any advice?
I'm stumped, so even an approximate solution would help. Thanks!
Maybe you can look at the Colors.jl package (https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Colors.jl):
using Colors
palette = colormap("Oranges", 100)
Then you can access each color with palette[n]. Or are you using PyCall? A code describing what you're trying to do would help.

Easiest way to plot values as symbols in scatter plot?

In an answer to an earlier question of mine regarding fixing the colorspace for scatter images of 4D data, Tom10 suggested plotting values as symbols in order to double-check my data. An excellent idea. I've run some similar demos in the past, but I can't for the life of me find the demo I remember being quite simple.
So, what's the easiest way to plot numerical values as the symbol in a scatter plot instead of 'o' for example? Tom10 suggested plt.txt(x,y,value)- and that is the implementation used in a number of examples. I however wonder if there's an easy way to evaluate "value" from my array of numbers? Can one simply say: str(valuearray) ?
Do you need a loop to evaluate the values for plotting as suggested in the matplotlib demo section for 3D text scatter plots?
Their example produces:
(source: sourceforge.net)
However, they're doing something fairly complex in evaluating the locations as well as changing text direction based on data. So, is there a cute way to plot x,y,C data (where C is a value often taken as the color in the plot data- but instead I wish to make the symbol)?
Again, I think we have a fair answer to this- I just wonder if there's an easier way?
The easiest way I've seen to do this is:
for x, y, val in zip(x_array, y_array, val_array):
plt.text(x, y, val)
Also, btw, you suggested using str(valarray), and this, as you may have noticed doesn't work. To convert an array of numbers to a sequence of strings you could use
valarray.astype(str)
to get a numpy array, or,
[str(v) for v in valarray]
to get a Python list. But even with valarray as a proper sequence of strings, plt.text won't iterate over it's inputs.

Octave colorbar and units

In GNU Octave you can make a picture where different colors represent different values in a matrix. You can also add a colorbar, which shows what color corresponds to what value.
Is it possible to somehow add units to the values shown in the colorbar? Instead of saying “0.36” it would say “0.36 V/nm”? I know this is possible in Matlab, but I can’t figure out how to do it in Octave. Any good workarounds?
I assume someone here will mention that I should use matplotlib instead (that usually happens). How would you accomplish the same thing with that?
The matplotlib answer (using pylab) is
imshow(random((20,20)))
colorbar(format='%.2f V/nm')
In Octave it seems that the following works (but I'm no Octave expert so maybe there's a better way):
c=colorbar();
labels = {};
for v=get(c,'ytick'), labels{end+1} = sprintf('%.2f V/nm',v); end
set(c,'yticklabel',labels);
