It is not properly documented. You need use the scaling package mizani to create a transform object. For that you need a transform function and an inverse function. Checkout some of the simpler transforms like sqrt_trans or reverse_trans.
from mizani.transforms import trans, trans_new
# 1.
class my_trans(trans):
"""
My Transformation
"""
@staticmethod
def transform(x):
return x
@staticmethod
def inverse(x):
return x
# 2.
# OR you could use the trans_new function to create the trans
# class for you.
def my_transform(x):
return x
def my_inverse(x):
return x
my_trans = trans_new('my', my_transform, my_inverse, ...)
scale_x_continuous(trans=my_trans, ...)
When you are done, can you post the final class, data and plotting code that shows the guitar neck. It would be great for the documentation. Thanks.

@has2k1 thanks for the guidance. Here's what I've come up with:
I am working on a guitar scale trainer in Python. The first step of this project is to create a visual representation of the neck of the guitar and the position of fingers as one plays a sequence of notes. After some experimentation, this is what I've come up with using plotnine. It shows a sequence through a "c chord" in standard tuning.
The code was a bit tricky, particularly getting the fret spacing correct. With @has2k1 advice, I was able to use the mizani package to transform the x-axis. I followed the formula on this page to actually build the transformation algebra (seems legit).
I plan to put all of this code on my own github page at some point. But I want to complete more of the project. So for now, here's some code to reproduce my c-chord. By the way, I'm a python beginner (more of an R guy), so any advice is welcome.
import math
import pandas as pd
from plotnine import *
from mizani.transforms import trans, trans_new
# Notes: the 0 fret is an open strum, all other frets are played half-way between fret bars.
# The strings are 1:low E, 2: A, 3: D, 4: G, 5: B, 6: E
c_chord = pd.DataFrame({
'Fret': [0, 2.5, 1.5, 0, 0.5, 0],
'String': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
})
# adding the sequence based on the number of notes in the chord
c_chord['Sequence'] = list(range(1, 1+len(c_chord['Fret'])))
# create the standard markings for a Stratocaster
markings = pd.DataFrame({
'Fret': [2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 11.5, 11.5, 14.5, 16.5, 18.5, 20.5],
'String': [3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 2, 5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5]
})
# create a transformation update the x-axis to resemble the narrowing width of frets on a 25.5 inch Strat
def scale_frets(frets):
return [25.5 - (25.5 / (2 ** (x/12))) for x in frets]
def scale_frets_inverse(frets_trans):
return [12 * math.log2(25.5/(25.5-y)) for y in frets_trans]
def scale_breaks(limits):
return [0, 22]
def scale_minor_breaks(domain_trans, limits):
domain = scale_frets_inverse(domain_trans)
return scale_frets(list(range(round(domain[0]),round(domain[1]))))
print(c_chord)
trans_frets = trans_new('trans', scale_frets, scale_frets_inverse, scale_breaks, scale_minor_breaks, domain=(0, 22))
# Plot the chord on top of the transformed scales, add markings.
# Note: To make the frets marks and strings look different I use the minor and major breaks independently.

I am musically illiterate, so
It shows a sequence through a "c chord" in standard tuning
plucks at untuned neurons in my brain. At least, I appreciate the scale manipulation.
Given that transform uses custom methods, it is clearer to declare a class the usual way. On the python style, you can use numpy, e.g np.range(0, 10)
instead of list(range(0, 10))
[1].
Here, I have changed a few things:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from plotnine import *
from mizani.transforms import trans,
# Notes: the 0 fret is an open strum, all other frets are played half-way between fret bars.
# The strings are 1:low E, 2: A, 3: D, 4: G, 5: B, 6: E
c_chord = pd.DataFrame({
'Fret': [0, 2.5, 1.5, 0, 0.5, 0],
'String': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
})
# adding the sequence based on the number of notes in the chord
c_chord['Sequence'] = list(range(1, 1+len(c_chord['Fret'])))
# create the standard markings for a Stratocaster
markings = pd.DataFrame({
'Fret': [2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 11.5, 11.5, 14.5, 16.5, 18.5, 20.5],
'String': [3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 2, 5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.5]
})
# create a transformation update the x-axis to resemble the narrowing width of frets on a 25.5 inch Strat
class frets_trans(trans):
number_of_frets = 23 # Including 0
domain = (0, number_of_frets-1)
@staticmethod
def transform(x):
x = np.asarray(x)
return 25.5 - (25.5 / (2 ** (x/12)))
@staticmethod
def inverse(x):
x = np.asarray(x)
return 12 * np.log2(25.5/(25.5-x))
@classmethod
def breaks_(cls, limits):
return cls.domain
@classmethod
def minor_breaks(cls, major, limits):
_major = cls.inverse(major)
# minor = cls.transform(np.arange(*np.round(_major))) # previous (potentially bad)
minor = cls.transform(np.linspace(*_major, cls.number_of_frets))
return minor
# Plot the chord on top of the transformed scales, add markings.
# Note: To make the frets marks and strings look different I use the minor and major breaks independently.
g = (ggplot(c_chord, aes('Fret', 'String')) +
geom_path(aes(color='Sequence'), size=3) +
geom_point(aes(color='Sequence'), fill='#FFFFFF', size=3.5) +
geom_point(data=markings, fill='#000000', size=5) +
scale_x_continuous(trans=frets_trans) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks=list(range(0, 7)), minor_breaks=[]) +
guides(color=False) +
theme(figure_size=(10, 1.43),
panel_background = element_rect(fill='#FFDDCC'),
panel_grid_major = element_line(color='#AA9944', size=2.2),
panel_grid_minor = element_line(color='#998888', size=1)
)
)
g
The key difference is how the minor breaks are computed. When you round
, you hope that you get there right whole numbers. This may not work when the numbers (number of frets aka domain) change, due to off by one errors.
It is easy to overlook, but this scale transformation demonstrates a use case where the breaks are fixed (I guess it is invaluable for demonstration graphics) I will include a little more explanation in the notebook for the documentation.
[1] I found a bug that prevents scale_y_continuous(breaks=np.arange(0, 7), ...)
from working.

Example added at. It will show up in the gallery for the next release.
