Three drawing interfaces

pyplot: face the current plot

axes: object-oriented

Pylab: follow the matlab style

This article uses plot drawing ( displaying the trend change of variables ) to display the basic parameters of the drawing, and uses the numpy library to obtain the drawing data (random). The final graphics are not carefully thought out, and everything is mainly to display the graphics parameters! ! !

Libraries used:


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

2. Function usage of graphic components

plot(): Display the trend change of variables

Usage: plt.plot(x, y, c, ls, lw, label, alpha, **kwargs)

x, y: the value on the x, y axis

c: set the color

ls: the line style of the line chart

lw: the line width of the line chart

label: the label text that marks the graphic content

alpha: transparency

**kwargs: specifies the use of the line2D attribute

2.1. figure(): background color

How to use: figure(num=None, figsize=None, dpi=None, facecolor=None,

edgecolor=None, frameon=True, FigureClass=Figure, clear=False, **kwargs)

on one :

If this parameter is not provided, a new figure object will be created and the figure count value will be incremented, which is stored in a number property of the figure object. If there is this parameter and there is a figure object corresponding to id, activate the figure object for id. If a figure object for id does not exist, create it and return it. If the value of num is a string, set the window title to this string

figsize: Width and height in inches, the default value is rc figure.figsize (1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm)

dpi: graphics resolution, the default value is rc figure.dpi

facecolor: background color


plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))
x = np.linspace(0.05, 10, 1000)  # 在0.05到10的区间中，等差选取1000个，端点不属于
y = np.sin(x)
plt.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['SimHei']
plt.rcParams['axes.unicode_minus'] = False
plt.plot(x, y,
         color='red',
         ls='-',
         label='sinx')
plt.show()

2.2 xlim() and ylim(): Set the numerical display range of the x and y axes

How to use: plt.xlim(xmin,xmax)

xmin: the minimum value on the x-axis

xmax: the maximum value on the x-axis

2.3 xlabel() and ylabel(): Set the label text of the x and y axes

How to use: plt.xlabel(fontsize, verticalalignment, horizontalalignment, rotation, bbox)

fontsize: number or (small, large, medium)

verticalalignment: the position from the coordinate axis (top, bottom, center, baseline)

hoizontalalignment: position (center, right, left)

ratio: position (vertical, horizontal, vertical)

bbox: add a border

2.4 grid(): Draw the grid lines of the tick marks

How to use: plt.grid(linestyle, color)

2.5 axhline(): Draw a horizontal reference line parallel to the x-axis

How to use: plt.axhline(y, c, ls, lw, label)

y: the starting point of the horizontal reference line


plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))
x = np.linspace(0.05, 10, 1000)  # 在0.05到10的区间中，等差选取1000个，端点不属于
y = np.sin(x)
plt.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['SimHei']
plt.rcParams['axes.unicode_minus'] = False
plt.plot(x, y,
         color='red',
         ls='-',
         label='sinx')
plt.xlim(1, 10)
plt.ylim(-1, 1)
plt.xlabel('x轴')
plt.ylabel('y轴')
plt.grid(ls=':',
         color='blue')  # 设置网格，颜色为蓝色
plt.axhline(0.5, color='green', lw=2, label="分割线")  # 绘制平行于x轴的水平参考线，绿色，名称
plt.show()

(The green line in the above figure is the reference line added by axjline())

2.6 axvspan(): Draw a reference area perpendicular to the x-axis

How to use: plt.axvspan( xmin, xmax ,facecolor, alpha)

xmin: the starting position of the reference area

xmax: the end position of the reference area

facecolor: the fill color of the reference area

alpha: the transparency of the fill color of the reference area, [0~1]

Note: Its usage method can also be used on axhspan()

In the previous code add


plt.axvspan(xmin=2,
            xmax=5,
            facecolor='r',
            alpha=0.2)  # 绘制垂直于x轴的参考区域

That is to get (note: this paragraph is the area)

2.7 xticks(),yticks()

Get or set the current x-axis or y-axis scale position and label (that is, set the label of the x or y axis)

It can be understood as setting the same effect as xilim and ylim, but you can specify the range and distance

plt.xticks(list(range(0, 12, 1)))  # 调整刻度范围和刻度标签

Pay attention to the x-axis, from the original 0~10 to the current 0~11, you can set the step size by setting the third parameter, here it is set to 1

2.8 annotate(): Add point-to-point annotation text for graphic content details

Function method: plt.annotate()

s: Comment text content

xy: the coordinate point to be annotated

xytext: the coordinate position of the annotation text

weight: Set font line style (Ultralight, light, normal, regular, book, medium, roman, semibold, demibold, demi, bold, heavy, extrabold, black)

color: Set the font color; you can also set the color of RGB or RGBA type; but it must be a floating point number between [0,1]

The xycoords= parameters are as follows

figure points: the point in the lower left corner of the figure

figure pixels: the pixels in the lower left corner of the figure

figure fraction: the lower left part of the figure

Axes points: the point at the lower left of the coordinate axis

Axes pixels: the pixel at the bottom left of the coordinate axis

data: use the coordinate system of the annotated object

arrowprops: Arrow parameters, parameter type is dictionary dict

width: the width of the arrow

headwidth: the width in points of the bottom of the arrow

headlength: the length of the arrow

shrink: a portion of the total length that "shrinks" from both ends

facecolor: arrow color (if the arrowstyle keyword is set, none of the above parameters can be used, you can

to use these:

|-|

-|>

<->

<|-

<|-|>

fancy

simple

wedge）


plt.annotate('local',
             xy=(2, 1),
             xytext=(0.5, 0.5),
             weight='bold',
             color='red',
             xycoords="data",
             arrowprops=
             dict(arrowstyle="->", connectionstyle='arc3', color='b'),
             bbox=
             dict(boxstyle="rarrow",

                  ec='k',
                  lw=1,
                  alpha=0.5)
             )

The yellow arrow and the blue slender line here are the parameters added by the parameter method. In the actual use process, it can be used according to your actual needs. It can be considered as adding some explanations to the image.

6. Summary

Many parameters are sometimes unusable, but you must know that there are, and it is reasonable to exist. Different parameters have different functions and functions. Do not add too many parameters to any graph. Generally, there are legends, titles, and xy-axis ranges.

No matter which one you use, it is recommended to try it first, practice is the only criterion for testing truth! ! !

I hope readers will forgive me for the bad writing. I am also groping step by step. If you have any questions, please discuss them in the comment area.
