我画了一条椭圆曲线。我想沿着P,Q,R画一条线（其中P和Q将独立于此问题确定）。P的主要问题是sympy solve()返回另一个方程，它需要返回一个值，以便用于绘制P的x值。据我所知，solve()应该返回一个值，所以我显然在这里做了一些错误的事情，只是我完全没有看到。作为参考，下面是P+Q=R的外观：

我已经检查了文档和other material，这是我能让自己陷入麻烦的最远距离：

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines import SubplotZero
from pylab import *
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.path import Path
import matplotlib.patches as patches
from matplotlib import rc

from sympy.solvers import solve

def plotGraph():
    fig = plt.figure(1)
    #ax = SubplotZero(fig, 111)
    #fig.add_subplot(ax)
    #for direction in ["xzero", "yzero"]:
        #ax.axis[direction].set_axisline_style("-|>")
        #ax.axis[direction].set_visible(True)
    #ax.axis([-10,10,-10,10])
    a = -2; b = 1
    y, x = np.ogrid[-10:10:100j, -10:10:100j]
    xlist = x.ravel(); ylist = y.ravel()
    elliptic_curve = pow(y, 2) - pow(x, 3) - x * a - b
    plt.contour(xlist, ylist, elliptic_curve, [0])
    #rand = random.uniform(-5,5)
    randmid = random.randint(30,70)
    #y = ylist[randmid]; x = xlist[randmid]
    xsym, ysym = symbols('x ylist[randmid]')
    x_result = solve(pow(ysym, 2) - pow(xsym, 3) - xsym * a - b, xsym) # 11/5/13 needs to return a value
    plt.plot([-1.5,5], [-1,8], color = "c", linewidth=1) # plot([x1,x2,x3,...],[y1,y2,y3,...])
    plt.plot([xlist[randmid],5], [ylist[randmid],8], color = "m", linewidth=1)
    #rc('text', usetex=True)
    text(-9,6,' size of xlist: %s \n size of ylist: %s \n x_coord: %s \n random_y: %s'
        %(len(xlist),len(ylist),x_result,ylist[randmid]),
        fontsize=10, color = 'blue',bbox=dict(facecolor='tan', alpha=0.5))
    plt.annotate('$P+Q=R$', xy=(2, 1), xytext=(3, 1.5),arrowprops=dict(facecolor='black', shrink=0.05))

##    verts = [(-5, -10),(5, 10)] # [(x,y)startpoint,(x,y)endpoint] #,(0, 0)]
##    codes = [Path.MOVETO,Path.LINETO] # related to verts[] #,Path.STOP]
##    path = Path(verts, codes)
##    patch = patches.PathPatch(path, facecolor='none', lw=2)
##    ax.add_patch(patch)

    plt.grid(True)
    plt.show()

def main():
    plotGraph()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

最后，我想画一条线来显示P+Q=R，所以如果有人还想增加一些关于如何编码得到Q的东西，那将是非常感谢的。我正在自学Python和椭圆曲线，所以我相信任何入门级程序员都可以在2分钟内弄清楚我已经学了一段时间了。
