Interactive plotting widgets — PlotPy 2.7 Manual (original) (raw)

Overview

The pyplot module provides an interactive plotting interface similar toMatplotlib’s, i.e. with MATLAB-like syntax.

The pyplot module was designed to be as close as possible to the matplotlib.pyplot module, so that one could easily switch between these two modules by simply changing the import statement. Basically, if plotpy does support the plotting commands called in your script, replacingimport matplotlib.pyplot by import plotpy.pyplot should be enough, as shown in the following example:

Examples

import numpy as np import plotpy.pyplot as plt plt.ion() # switching to interactive mode x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) plt.figure(1) plt.subplot(2, 1, 1) plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), "r+") plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), "g-") plt.errorbar(x, -1+x*2/20+.2np.random.rand(len(x)), x/20) plt.xlabel("Axe x") plt.ylabel("Axe y") plt.subplot(2, 1, 2) img = np.fromfunction(lambda x, y: np.sin((x/200.)*(y/200.)**2), (1000, 1000)) plt.xlabel("pixels") plt.ylabel("pixels") plt.zlabel("intensity") plt.gray() plt.imshow(img) plt.figure("plotyy") plt.plotyy(x, np.sin(x), x, np.cos(x)) plt.ylabel("sinus", "cosinus") plt.show()

Reference

plotpy.pyplot.interactive(state)[source]

Create a new figure

plotpy.pyplot.gcf()[source]

Get current figure

plotpy.pyplot.gca()[source]

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) figure(1) subplot(2, 1, 1) plot(x, np.sin(x), "r+") subplot(2, 1, 2) plot(x, np.cos(x), "g-") show()

Close figure

plotpy.pyplot.title(text)[source]

Set current figure title

plotpy.pyplot.xlabel(bottom='', top='')[source]

plotpy.pyplot.ylabel(left='', right='')[source]

Set current y-axis label

plotpy.pyplot.zlabel(label)[source]

Set current z-axis label

plotpy.pyplot.yreverse(reverse)[source]

Set y-axis direction of increasing values

reverse = False (default)

y-axis values increase from bottom to top

reverse = True

y-axis values increase from top to bottom

plotpy.pyplot.grid(act)[source]

Toggle grid visibility

plotpy.pyplot.legend(pos='TR')[source]

Add legend to current axes (pos=’TR’, ‘TL’, ‘BR’, …)

Set color map to name

plotpy.pyplot.savefig(fname, format=None)[source]

Save figure

Currently supports QImageWriter formats only (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimagewriter.html#supportedImageFormats)

plotpy.pyplot.plot(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Plot curves

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) plot(x, np.sin(x), "r+") plot(x, np.cos(x), "g-") show()

plotpy.pyplot.plotyy(x1, y1, x2, y2)[source]

Plot curves with two different y axes

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) plotyy(x, np.sin(x), x, np.cos(x)) ylabel("sinus", "cosinus") show()

plotpy.pyplot.semilogx(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Plot curves with logarithmic x-axis scale

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) semilogx(x, np.sin(12*x), "g-") show()

plotpy.pyplot.semilogy(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Plot curves with logarithmic y-axis scale

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) semilogy(x, np.sin(12*x), "g-") show()

plotpy.pyplot.loglog(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Plot curves with logarithmic x-axis and y-axis scales

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) loglog(x, np.sin(12*x), "g-") show()

plotpy.pyplot.errorbar(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Plot curves with error bars

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) errorbar(x, -1+x*2/20+.2np.random.rand(len(x)), x/20) show()

plotpy.pyplot.hist(data, bins=None, logscale=None, title=None, color=None)[source]

Plot 1-D histogram

Example:

from numpy.random import normal data = normal(0, 1, (2000, )) hist(data) show()

plotpy.pyplot.imshow(data, interpolation=None, mask=None)[source]

Display the image in data to current axes interpolation: ‘nearest’, ‘linear’ (default), ‘antialiasing’

Example:

import numpy as np x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 1000) img = np.fromfunction(lambda x, y: np.sin((x/200.)*(y/200.)**2), (1000, 1000)) gray() imshow(img) show()

plotpy.pyplot.pcolor(*args)[source]

Create a pseudocolor plot of a 2-D array

Example:

import numpy as np r = np.linspace(1., 16, 100) th = np.linspace(0., np.pi, 100) R, TH = np.meshgrid(r, th) X = Rnp.cos(TH) Y = Rnp.sin(TH) Z = 4*TH+R pcolor(X, Y, Z) show()
