I know that my question sounds desperate and also it is not a short reproducible example. However I am writing my thesis and I tried a test print. I couldnt print the document, written in TeX and viewed in pdf, because of one plot that is based on python (all other ones are created in R). I would be so gratefull to someone how could have a quick look at it. I'm really desperate right now because I don't want to take this graphic out of my work. I am not really familiar with python as I am using R, but just wanted to generate this plot for my thesis.
I am referring to the figure in the section "Lasso coordinate descent Vary parameter l (lamda) for different results" (field [20]).
I am trying to save it as follows:
%matplotlib inline
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (16,8))
#Surface plot
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 1, projection='3d')
ax.plot_surface(T1, T2, Z, rstride = 5, cstride = 5, cmap = 'jet', alpha=0.5)
ax.plot(theta_0,theta_1,J_history_lasso, marker = '*', color = 'r', alpha = .4, label = 'Gradient descent')
ax.set_xlabel('theta 1')
ax.set_ylabel('theta 2')
ax.set_zlabel('error')
ax.set_title('RSS gradient descent: Root at {}'.format(theta_result_lasso.ravel()))
ax.view_init(25, -40)
#Contour plot
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 2)
ax.contour(T1, T2, Z, 100, cmap = 'jet')
ax.quiver(theta_0[:-1], theta_1[:-1], anglesx, anglesy, scale_units = 'xy', angles = 'xy', scale = 1, color = 'r', alpha = .9)
ax.set_xlabel(r'$\beta_1$', fontsize=20, labelpad = 10)
ax.set_ylabel(r'$\beta_2$', fontsize=20, labelpad = 10)
ax.set_zlabel(r'$\mathcal{L}(\beta)$', fontsize=20, labelpad = 10)
ax.tick_params(labelsize=16)
ax.set_title(r'Globales Minimum $\hat \beta$ = [{:0.0f}, {:0.2f}]'.format(roundi[0],roundi[1]), fontsize=20, pad=40)
plt.show()
fig.savefig("l18.pdf", bbox_inches='tight')
but I cant print out the regarding pdf. I also tried different types of printers. So it should be problem with the regarding figure.
plt.show()
