Bode diagram plot issue

[mbriday]

Hi, Thanks for this great python module!!

Environment (OS, Python version, PySpice version, simulator)

Linux Debian 12.1 with Python 3.11.2, pyspice v1.5, installed from pip3 (using a venv)

Actual Behaviour

There is an issue with matplotlib (installed using pip3) , the example filter/low-pass-rc-filter.py does not work. It complains about 'basex' and stops the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spice/examples/filter/low-pass-rc-filter.py", line 44, in <module>
    bode_diagram(axes=axes,
[...]
TypeError: LogScale.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'basex'

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

just run the filter/low-pass-rc-filter.py example, using Python 3.11.2 and pip3 (matplotlib, pyspice).

workaround

from semilog matplotlib doc, replacing basex with base in lines 36 and 46 of file PySpice/Plot/BodeDiagram.py fix the problem.

regards, Mik

hello, same problem encountered here.

you should have a look on PR #358 proposal (need maintainer review)

[lionelsaintecluque]

I faced the bug and I applied the patch proposed above (PR#358).

It resolves the issue and does not causes unwanted behaviour.

This keywords "basex", basey" were replaced in the most recent matplotlib releases. So you either need to downgrade the matplotlib or fix PySpice. So really PySpice needs a fix to support latest matplotlib. see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71213873/receiving-typeerror-init-got-an-unexpected-keyword-argument-basey-in

[shahnewazRvis]

for matplotlib version 3.5.1 changing function call axe.semilogx(frequency, phase, base=10, **kwargs) works.

Matplotlib (version 3.5.1) throws error with basex keyword which has been used in BodeDiagram.py
