Matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive() in Python (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 10 May, 2020

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface. There are various plots which can be used in Pyplot are Line Plot, Contour, Histogram, Scatter, 3D Plot, etc.

matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive() method

The isinteractive() method in pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to get whether to redraw after every plotting command.

Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Returns: This method returns whether to redraw after every plotting command or not.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive() function in matplotlib.pyplot:

Example 1:

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace( 0 , 10 , 500 )

y = np.sin(x * * 2 ) + np.cos(x)

plt.plot(x, y, label = 'Line 1' )

plt.plot(x, y - 0.6 , label = 'Line 2' )

w = plt.isinteractive()

print ( "Is we can redraw after every plotting command : " ,

`` str (w))

plt.title('matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive() function \

Example', fontweight = "bold" )

plt.show()

Output:

Is we can redraw after every plotting command : False

Example 2:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import numpy as np

t = np.arange( 0.01 , 5.0 , 0.01 )

s = np.exp( - t)

plt.plot(t, s)

plt.ylim( 1 , 0 )

plt.ylabel( 'Display Y-axis Label' , fontweight = 'bold' )

plt.grid( True )

w = plt.isinteractive()

print ( "Is we can redraw after every plotting command : " ,

`` str (w))

plt.title('matplotlib.pyplot.isinteractive() function \

Example', fontweight = "bold" )

plt.show()

Output:

Is we can redraw after every plotting command : False
