I have code to crawl through every file in a directory and plot every csv file it comes across. Each CSV has a header of the form
Timestamp, P1rms (A), P2rms (A), P3rms (A), P4rms (A), P5rms (A), Vrms (V), P1 theta, P2 theta, P3 theta, P4 theta, P5 theta

I am developing a fft visualization option, and I am running into an overflow error when I fft my data sets. here is my exact problem:
When I run my code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pandas import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import os
import sys
import platform
import numpy.fft as np
# name of plots folder
plotfold='plots'
# System specific info
if platform.system()=='Darwin':comsep="/"
else: comsep="\\"
# How many columns should I plot?
numcol=6
if len(sys.argv)<2:
print 'usage: ./canaryCrawler.py [-c] or [-f] rootdir'
quit()
if len(sys.argv)>2:
ylim=1500
root = sys.argv[2]
else:
ylim=1200
root = sys.argv[1]
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(root):
# plot each file
for file in files:
if str(file)[-4:]=='.csv':
print 'plotting '+str(file)+'...'
# load csv as data frame
df=pandas.io.parsers.read_csv(subdir+comsep+file)
for i in range(0,len(df.Timestamp)):
df.Timestamp[i] = datetime.strptime(df.Timestamp[i], '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y')
# We only want the first 6 columns
df = df.ix[:,0:numcol]
if len(sys.argv)>=2:
if sys.argv[1]=='-c' or sys.argv[1]=='-f':
plotfold='plots_Specialty'
df2 = df
df=pandas.DataFrame(df2.Timestamp)
df['Residence']=df2['P1rms (A)']+df2['P2rms (A)']
df['Specialty']=df2['P3rms (A)']+df2['P4rms (A)']
if sys.argv[1]=='-f':
df2['Residence']=np.fft(df['Residence'])
df2['Specialty']=np.fft(df['Specialty'])
df=df2
print 'Fourier Transformation Complete'
plotfold='plots_Specialty_fft'
# set up plot
plt.figure()
df.plot(df.Timestamp,alpha=0.6,linewidth=2.3) # add transparency to see overlapping colors
plt.tight_layout(pad=1.08)
plt.legend(loc='best') # add legend in non-intrusive location
plt.legend(loc=5,prop={'size':14}) #
plt.ylabel('Current')
plt.xlabel('Time')
plt.gcf().autofmt_xdate()
plt.gcf().set_size_inches(12.7,9.2)
plt.gca().set_ylim([0,ylim])
stamp = df.Timestamp[0]
day = datetime.strftime(stamp,'%a')
DOM=datetime.strftime(stamp,'%d')
month = datetime.strftime(stamp,'%b')
year = datetime.strftime(stamp,'%Y')
plt.title(subdir+' '+day+' '+month+' '+DOM+' '+year)
# keep plot
# check for existing plots folder,
# create one if it doesn't exist
if plotfold not in os.listdir(subdir):
print '** adding plots directory to ',subdir
os.mkdir(subdir+comsep+plotfold)
# save in plots directory
spsubs = str(subdir).split(comsep)
filnam=''
for piece in range(len(spsubs)-4,len(spsubs)-1):
filnam+='_'+spsubs[piece]
filnam+='_'+str(file)[:-4]
saveto=subdir+comsep+plotfold+comsep+filnam
print '**** saving plot to ',saveto
plt.savefig(saveto)
plt.close()
I get this error:

OverflowError: Allocated too many blocks
I specified the agg.path.chunksize
parameter in matplotlibrc
to o agg.path.chunksize : 10000000
. I only get this error when I run the -f fft option. How can I prevent this error?
Not sure but try pdf, svg backends
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pandas import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Insert just before import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('pdf') # Insert just before import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib as mpl
# ['pdf', 'pgf', 'Qt4Agg', 'GTK', 'GTKAgg', 'ps', 'agg',
# 'cairo', 'MacOSX', 'GTKCairo', 'WXAgg', 'template', 'TkAgg',
# 'GTK3Cairo', 'GTK3Agg', 'svg', 'WebAgg', 'CocoaAgg', 'emf', 'gdk', 'WX']
# (...)
plt.savefig('svg.pdf') # Consider file extension (!)
