matplotlib.pyplot
¶Provides a MATLAB-like plotting framework.
pylab
combines pyplot with numpy into a single namespace.
This is convenient for interactive work, but for programming it
is recommended that the namespaces be kept separate, e.g.:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(0, 5, 0.1);
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x, y)
matplotlib.pyplot.
acorr
(x, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the autocorrelation of x
.
Parameters: | x : sequence of scalar hold : boolean, optional, default: True detrend : callable, optional, default:
normed : boolean, optional, default: True
usevlines : boolean, optional, default: True
maxlags : integer, optional, default: 10
|
---|---|
Returns: | (lags, c, line, b) : where: |
Other Parameters: | |
linestyle :
marker : string, optional, default: ‘o’ |
Notes
In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
Examples
xcorr
is top graph, and
acorr
is bottom graph.

angle_spectrum
(x, Fs=None, Fc=None, window=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the angle spectrum.
Call signature:
angle_spectrum(x, Fs=2, Fc=0, window=mlab.window_hanning,
pad_to=None, sides='default', **kwargs)
Compute the angle spectrum (wrapped phase spectrum) of x. Data is padded to a length of pad_to and the windowing function window is applied to the signal.
- x: 1-D array or sequence
- Array or sequence containing the data
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performing the FFT. While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds to the n parameter in the call to fft(). The default is None, which sets pad_to equal to the length of the input signal (i.e. no padding).
Returns the tuple (spectrum, freqs, line):
- spectrum: 1-D array
- The values for the angle spectrum in radians (real valued)
- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the elements in spectrum
- line: a
Line2D
instance- The line created by this function

always spans the xrange, regardless of the xlim settings, even
if you change them, e.g., with the set_xlim()
command.
That is, the horizontal extent is in axes coords: 0=left,
0.5=middle, 1.0=right but the y location is in data
coordinates.

matplotlib.pyplot.
axis
(*v, **kwargs)¶Convenience method to get or set axis properties.
Calling with no arguments:
>>> axis()
returns the current axes limits [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]
.:
>>> axis(v)
sets the min and max of the x and y axes, with
v = [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]
.:
>>> axis('off')
turns off the axis lines and labels.:
>>> axis('equal')
changes limits of x or y axis so that equal increments of x and y have the same length; a circle is circular.:
>>> axis('scaled')
achieves the same result by changing the dimensions of the plot box instead of the axis data limits.:
>>> axis('tight')
changes x and y axis limits such that all data is shown. If all data is already shown, it will move it to the center of the figure without modifying (xmax - xmin) or (ymax - ymin). Note this is slightly different than in MATLAB.:
>>> axis('image')
is ‘scaled’ with the axis limits equal to the data limits.:
>>> axis('auto')
and:
>>> axis('normal')
are deprecated. They restore default behavior; axis limits are automatically scaled to make the data fit comfortably within the plot box.
if len(*v)==0
, you can pass in xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax
as kwargs selectively to alter just those limits without changing
the others.
>>> axis('square')
changes the limit ranges (xmax-xmin) and (ymax-ymin) of the x and y axes to be the same, and have the same scaling, resulting in a square plot.
The xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax tuple is returned
matplotlib.pyplot.
axvline
(x=0, ymin=0, ymax=1, hold=None, **kwargs)¶Add a vertical line across the axes.
Parameters: | x : scalar, optional, default: 0

axvspan
(xmin, xmax, ymin=0, ymax=1, hold=None, **kwargs)¶Add a vertical span (rectangle) across the axes.
Call signature:
axvspan(xmin, xmax, ymin=0, ymax=1, **kwargs)
x coords are in data units and y coords are in axes (relative 0-1) units.
Draw a vertical span (rectangle) from xmin to xmax. With
the default values of ymin = 0 and ymax = 1, this always
spans the yrange, regardless of the ylim settings, even if you
change them, e.g., with the set_ylim()
command. That is,
the vertical extent is in axes coords: 0=bottom, 0.5=middle,
1.0=top but the y location is in data coordinates.
Return value is the matplotlib.patches.Polygon
instance.

barbs
(*args, **kw)¶Plot a 2-D field of barbs.
Call signatures:
barb(U, V, **kw)
barb(U, V, C, **kw)
barb(X, Y, U, V, **kw)
barb(X, Y, U, V, C, **kw)
Arguments:
- X, Y:
- The x and y coordinates of the barb locations (default is head of barb; see pivot kwarg)
- U, V:
- Give the x and y components of the barb shaft
- C:
- An optional array used to map colors to the barbs
All arguments may be 1-D or 2-D arrays or sequences. If X and Y
are absent, they will be generated as a uniform grid. If U and V
are 2-D arrays but X and Y are 1-D, and if len(X)
and len(Y)
match the column and row dimensions of U, then X and Y will be
expanded with numpy.meshgrid()
.
U, V, C may be masked arrays, but masked X, Y are not supported at present.
Keyword arguments:
- length:
- Length of the barb in points; the other parts of the barb are scaled against this. Default is 9
- pivot: [ ‘tip’ | ‘middle’ ]
- The part of the arrow that is at the grid point; the arrow rotates about this point, hence the name pivot. Default is ‘tip’
- barbcolor: [ color | color sequence ]
- Specifies the color all parts of the barb except any flags. This parameter is analagous to the edgecolor parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However this parameter will override facecolor.
- flagcolor: [ color | color sequence ]
- Specifies the color of any flags on the barb. This parameter is analagous to the facecolor parameter for polygons, which can be used instead. However this parameter will override facecolor. If this is not set (and C has not either) then flagcolor will be set to match barbcolor so that the barb has a uniform color. If C has been set, flagcolor has no effect.
- sizes:
A dictionary of coefficients specifying the ratio of a given feature to the length of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included. These features include:
- ‘spacing’ - space between features (flags, full/half barbs)
- ‘height’ - height (distance from shaft to top) of a flag or full barb
- ‘width’ - width of a flag, twice the width of a full barb
- ‘emptybarb’ - radius of the circle used for low magnitudes
- fill_empty:
- A flag on whether the empty barbs (circles) that are drawn should be filled with the flag color. If they are not filled, they will be drawn such that no color is applied to the center. Default is False
- rounding:
- A flag to indicate whether the vector magnitude should be rounded when allocating barb components. If True, the magnitude is rounded to the nearest multiple of the half-barb increment. If False, the magnitude is simply truncated to the next lowest multiple. Default is True
- barb_increments:
A dictionary of increments specifying values to associate with different parts of the barb. Only those values one wishes to override need to be included.
- ‘half’ - half barbs (Default is 5)
- ‘full’ - full barbs (Default is 10)
- ‘flag’ - flags (default is 50)
- flip_barb:
- Either a single boolean flag or an array of booleans. Single boolean indicates whether the lines and flags should point opposite to normal for all barbs. An array (which should be the same size as the other data arrays) indicates whether to flip for each individual barb. Normal behavior is for the barbs and lines to point right (comes from wind barbs having these features point towards low pressure in the Northern Hemisphere.) Default is False
Barbs are traditionally used in meteorology as a way to plot the speed and direction of wind observations, but can technically be used to plot any two dimensional vector quantity. As opposed to arrows, which give vector magnitude by the length of the arrow, the barbs give more quantitative information about the vector magnitude by putting slanted lines or a triangle for various increments in magnitude, as show schematically below:
: /\ \
: / \ \
: / \ \ \
: / \ \ \
: ------------------------------
The largest increment is given by a triangle (or “flag”). After those come full lines (barbs). The smallest increment is a half line. There is only, of course, ever at most 1 half line. If the magnitude is small and only needs a single half-line and no full lines or triangles, the half-line is offset from the end of the barb so that it can be easily distinguished from barbs with a single full line. The magnitude for the barb shown above would nominally be 65, using the standard increments of 50, 10, and 5.
linewidths and edgecolors can be used to customize the barb.

Notes
The optional arguments color
, edgecolor
, linewidth
,
xerr
, and yerr
can be either scalars or sequences of
length equal to the number of bars. This enables you to use
bar as the basis for stacked bar charts, or candlestick plots.
Detail: xerr
and yerr
are passed directly to
errorbar()
, so they can also have shape 2xN for
independent specification of lower and upper errors.

In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
cla
()¶Clear the current axes.
matplotlib.pyplot.
clabel
(CS, *args, **kwargs)¶Label a contour plot.
Call signature:
clabel(cs, **kwargs)
Adds labels to line contours in cs, where cs is a
ContourSet
object returned by
contour.
clabel(cs, v, **kwargs)
only labels contours listed in v.
Optional keyword arguments:
- fontsize:
- size in points or relative size e.g., ‘smaller’, ‘x-large’
- colors:
- if None, the color of each label matches the color of the corresponding contour
- if one string color, e.g., colors = ‘r’ or colors = ‘red’, all labels will be plotted in this color
- if a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different labels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified
- inline:
- controls whether the underlying contour is removed or not. Default is True.
- inline_spacing:
- space in pixels to leave on each side of label when placing inline. Defaults to 5. This spacing will be exact for labels at locations where the contour is straight, less so for labels on curved contours.
- fmt:
- a format string for the label. Default is ‘%1.3f’ Alternatively, this can be a dictionary matching contour levels with arbitrary strings to use for each contour level (i.e., fmt[level]=string), or it can be any callable, such as a
Formatter
instance, that returns a string when called with a numeric contour level.- manual:
if True, contour labels will be placed manually using mouse clicks. Click the first button near a contour to add a label, click the second button (or potentially both mouse buttons at once) to finish adding labels. The third button can be used to remove the last label added, but only if labels are not inline. Alternatively, the keyboard can be used to select label locations (enter to end label placement, delete or backspace act like the third mouse button, and any other key will select a label location).
manual can be an iterable object of x,y tuples. Contour labels will be created as if mouse is clicked at each x,y positions.
- rightside_up:
- if True (default), label rotations will always be plus or minus 90 degrees from level.
- use_clabeltext:
- if True (default is False), ClabelText class (instead of matplotlib.Text) is used to create labels. ClabelText recalculates rotation angles of texts during the drawing time, therefore this can be used if aspect of the axes changes.
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
clf
()¶Clear the current figure.
matplotlib.pyplot.
clim
(vmin=None, vmax=None)¶Set the color limits of the current image.
To apply clim to all axes images do:
clim(0, 0.5)
If either vmin or vmax is None, the image min/max respectively will be used for color scaling.
If you want to set the clim of multiple images, use, for example:
for im in gca().get_images():
im.set_clim(0, 0.05)
matplotlib.pyplot.
close
(*args)¶Close a figure window.
close()
by itself closes the current figure
close(h)
where h is a Figure
instance, closes that figure
close(num)
closes figure number num
close(name)
where name is a string, closes figure with that label
close('all')
closes all the figure windows
matplotlib.pyplot.
cohere
(x, y, NFFT=256, Fs=2, Fc=0, detrend=<function detrend_none>, window=<function window_hanning>, noverlap=0, pad_to=None, sides='default', scale_by_freq=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the coherence between x and y.
Call signature:
cohere(x, y, NFFT=256, Fs=2, Fc=0, detrend = mlab.detrend_none,
window = mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=0, pad_to=None,
sides='default', scale_by_freq=None, **kwargs)
Plot the coherence between x and y. Coherence is the normalized cross spectral density:
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
callable
The function applied to each segment before fft-ing,
designed to remove the mean or linear trend. Unlike in
MATLAB, where the detrend parameter is a vector, in
matplotlib is it a function. The pylab
module defines detrend_none()
,
detrend_mean()
, and
detrend_linear()
, but you can use
a custom function as well. You can also use a string to choose
one of the functions. ‘default’, ‘constant’, and ‘mean’ call
detrend_mean()
. ‘linear’ calls
detrend_linear()
. ‘none’ calls
detrend_none()
.
Specifies whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scaling frequency, which gives density in units of Hz^-1. This allows for integration over the returned frequency values. The default is True for MATLAB compatibility.
The return value is a tuple (Cxy, f), where f are the frequencies of the coherence vector.
kwargs are applied to the lines.

Notes
In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
colorbar
(mappable=None, cax=None, ax=None, **kw)¶Add a colorbar to a plot.
Function signatures for the pyplot
interface; all
but the first are also method signatures for the
colorbar()
method:
colorbar(**kwargs)
colorbar(mappable, **kwargs)
colorbar(mappable, cax=cax, **kwargs)
colorbar(mappable, ax=ax, **kwargs)
arguments:
- mappable
- the
Image
,ContourSet
, etc. to which the colorbar applies; this argument is mandatory for thecolorbar()
method but optional for thecolorbar()
function, which sets the default to the current image.
keyword arguments:
- cax
- None | axes object into which the colorbar will be drawn
- ax
- None | parent axes object(s) from which space for a new colorbar axes will be stolen. If a list of axes is given they will all be resized to make room for the colorbar axes.
- use_gridspec
- False | If cax is None, a new cax is created as an instance of Axes. If ax is an instance of Subplot and use_gridspec is True, cax is created as an instance of Subplot using the grid_spec module.
Additional keyword arguments are of two kinds:
axes properties:
Property Description orientation vertical or horizontal fraction 0.15; fraction of original axes to use for colorbar pad 0.05 if vertical, 0.15 if horizontal; fraction of original axes between colorbar and new image axes shrink 1.0; fraction by which to shrink the colorbar aspect 20; ratio of long to short dimensions anchor (0.0, 0.5) if vertical; (0.5, 1.0) if horizontal; the anchor point of the colorbar axes panchor (1.0, 0.5) if vertical; (0.5, 0.0) if horizontal; the anchor point of the colorbar parent axes. If False, the parent axes’ anchor will be unchanged colorbar properties:
Property Description extend [ ‘neither’ | ‘both’ | ‘min’ | ‘max’ ] If not ‘neither’, make pointed end(s) for out-of- range values. These are set for a given colormap using the colormap set_under and set_over methods. extendfrac [ None | ‘auto’ | length | lengths ] If set to None, both the minimum and maximum triangular colorbar extensions with have a length of 5% of the interior colorbar length (this is the default setting). If set to ‘auto’, makes the triangular colorbar extensions the same lengths as the interior boxes (when spacing is set to ‘uniform’) or the same lengths as the respective adjacent interior boxes (when spacing is set to ‘proportional’). If a scalar, indicates the length of both the minimum and maximum triangular colorbar extensions as a fraction of the interior colorbar length. A two-element sequence of fractions may also be given, indicating the lengths of the minimum and maximum colorbar extensions respectively as a fraction of the interior colorbar length. extendrect [ False | True ] If False the minimum and maximum colorbar extensions will be triangular (the default). If True the extensions will be rectangular. spacing [ ‘uniform’ | ‘proportional’ ] Uniform spacing gives each discrete color the same space; proportional makes the space proportional to the data interval. ticks [ None | list of ticks | Locator object ] If None, ticks are determined automatically from the input. format [ None | format string | Formatter object ] If None, the ScalarFormatter
is used. If a format string is given, e.g., ‘%.3f’, that is used. An alternativeFormatter
object may be given instead.drawedges [ False | True ] If true, draw lines at color boundaries. The following will probably be useful only in the context of indexed colors (that is, when the mappable has norm=NoNorm()), or other unusual circumstances.
Property Description boundaries None or a sequence values None or a sequence which must be of length 1 less than the sequence of boundaries. For each region delimited by adjacent entries in boundaries, the color mapped to the corresponding value in values will be used.
If mappable is a ContourSet
, its extend
kwarg is included automatically.
Note that the shrink kwarg provides a simple way to keep a vertical colorbar, for example, from being taller than the axes of the mappable to which the colorbar is attached; but it is a manual method requiring some trial and error. If the colorbar is too tall (or a horizontal colorbar is too wide) use a smaller value of shrink.
For more precise control, you can manually specify the positions of the axes objects in which the mappable and the colorbar are drawn. In this case, do not use any of the axes properties kwargs.
It is known that some vector graphics viewer (svg and pdf) renders white gaps between segments of the colorbar. This is due to bugs in the viewers not matplotlib. As a workaround the colorbar can be rendered with overlapping segments:
cbar = colorbar()
cbar.solids.set_edgecolor("face")
draw()
However this has negative consequences in other circumstances. Particularly with semi transparent images (alpha < 1) and colorbar extensions and is not enabled by default see (issue #1188).
Colorbar
instance; see also its base class,
ColorbarBase
. Call the
set_label()
method
to label the colorbar.matplotlib.pyplot.
colors
()¶This is a do-nothing function to provide you with help on how matplotlib handles colors.
Commands which take color arguments can use several formats to specify the colors. For the basic built-in colors, you can use a single letter
Alias Color ‘b’ blue ‘g’ green ‘r’ red ‘c’ cyan ‘m’ magenta ‘y’ yellow ‘k’ black ‘w’ white
For a greater range of colors, you have two options. You can specify the color using an html hex string, as in:
color = '#eeefff'
or you can pass an R,G,B tuple, where each of R,G,B are in the range [0,1].
You can also use any legal html name for a color, for example:
color = 'red'
color = 'burlywood'
color = 'chartreuse'
The example below creates a subplot with a dark slate gray background:
subplot(111, facecolor=(0.1843, 0.3098, 0.3098))
Here is an example that creates a pale turquoise title:
title('Is this the best color?', color='#afeeee')
matplotlib.pyplot.
connect
(s, func)¶Connect event with string s to func. The signature of func is:
def func(event)
where event is a matplotlib.backend_bases.Event
. The
following events are recognized
For the location events (button and key press/release), if the
mouse is over the axes, the variable event.inaxes
will be
set to the Axes
the event occurs is
over, and additionally, the variables event.xdata
and
event.ydata
will be defined. This is the mouse location
in data coords. See
KeyEvent
and
MouseEvent
for more info.
Return value is a connection id that can be used with
mpl_disconnect()
.
Example usage:
def on_press(event):
print('you pressed', event.button, event.xdata, event.ydata)
cid = canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', on_press)
matplotlib.pyplot.
contour
(*args, **kwargs)¶Plot contours.
contour()
and
contourf()
draw contour lines and
filled contours, respectively. Except as noted, function
signatures and return values are the same for both versions.
contourf()
differs from the MATLAB
version in that it does not draw the polygon edges.
To draw edges, add line contours with
calls to contour()
.
Call signatures:
contour(Z)
make a contour plot of an array Z. The level values are chosen automatically.
contour(X,Y,Z)
X, Y specify the (x, y) coordinates of the surface
contour(Z,N)
contour(X,Y,Z,N)
contour up to N automatically-chosen levels.
contour(Z,V)
contour(X,Y,Z,V)
draw contour lines at the values specified in sequence V, which must be in increasing order.
contourf(..., V)
fill the len(V)-1
regions between the values in V,
which must be in increasing order.
contour(Z, **kwargs)
Use keyword args to control colors, linewidth, origin, cmap ... see below for more details.
X and Y must both be 2-D with the same shape as Z, or they
must both be 1-D such that len(X)
is the number of columns in
Z and len(Y)
is the number of rows in Z.
C = contour(...)
returns a
QuadContourSet
object.
Optional keyword arguments:
- corner_mask: [ True | False | ‘legacy’ ]
Enable/disable corner masking, which only has an effect if Z is a masked array. If False, any quad touching a masked point is masked out. If True, only the triangular corners of quads nearest those points are always masked out, other triangular corners comprising three unmasked points are contoured as usual. If ‘legacy’, the old contouring algorithm is used, which is equivalent to False and is deprecated, only remaining whilst the new algorithm is tested fully.
If not specified, the default is taken from rcParams[‘contour.corner_mask’], which is True unless it has been modified.
- colors: [ None | string | (mpl_colors) ]
If None, the colormap specified by cmap will be used.
If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color.
If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.
- alpha: float
- The alpha blending value
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A cm
Colormap
instance or None. If cmap is None and colors is None, a default Colormap is used.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance for scaling data values to colors. If norm is None and colors is None, the default linear scaling is used.- vmin, vmax: [ None | scalar ]
- If not None, either or both of these values will be supplied to the
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance, overriding the default color scaling based on levels.- levels: [level0, level1, ..., leveln]
- A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order; e.g., to draw just the zero contour pass
levels=[0]
- origin: [ None | ‘upper’ | ‘lower’ | ‘image’ ]
If None, the first value of Z will correspond to the lower left corner, location (0,0). If ‘image’, the rc value for
image.origin
will be used.This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
extent: [ None | (x0,x1,y0,y1) ]
If origin is not None, then extent is interpreted as in
matplotlib.pyplot.imshow()
: it gives the outer pixel boundaries. In this case, the position of Z[0,0] is the center of the pixel, not a corner. If origin is None, then (x0, y0) is the position of Z[0,0], and (x1, y1) is the position of Z[-1,-1].This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
- locator: [ None | ticker.Locator subclass ]
- If locator is None, the default
MaxNLocator
is used. The locator is used to determine the contour levels if they are not given explicitly via the V argument.- extend: [ ‘neither’ | ‘both’ | ‘min’ | ‘max’ ]
- Unless this is ‘neither’, contour levels are automatically added to one or both ends of the range so that all data are included. These added ranges are then mapped to the special colormap values which default to the ends of the colormap range, but can be set via
matplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_under()
andmatplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_over()
methods.- xunits, yunits: [ None | registered units ]
- Override axis units by specifying an instance of a
matplotlib.units.ConversionInterface
.- antialiased: [ True | False ]
- enable antialiasing, overriding the defaults. For filled contours, the default is True. For line contours, it is taken from rcParams[‘lines.antialiased’].
- nchunk: [ 0 | integer ]
- If 0, no subdivision of the domain. Specify a positive integer to divide the domain into subdomains of nchunk by nchunk quads. Chunking reduces the maximum length of polygons generated by the contouring algorithm which reduces the rendering workload passed on to the backend and also requires slightly less RAM. It can however introduce rendering artifacts at chunk boundaries depending on the backend, the antialiased flag and value of alpha.
contour-only keyword arguments:
- linewidths: [ None | number | tuple of numbers ]
If linewidths is None, the default width in
lines.linewidth
inmatplotlibrc
is used.If a number, all levels will be plotted with this linewidth.
If a tuple, different levels will be plotted with different linewidths in the order specified.
- linestyles: [ None | ‘solid’ | ‘dashed’ | ‘dashdot’ | ‘dotted’ ]
If linestyles is None, the default is ‘solid’ unless the lines are monochrome. In that case, negative contours will take their linestyle from the
matplotlibrc
contour.negative_linestyle
setting.linestyles can also be an iterable of the above strings specifying a set of linestyles to be used. If this iterable is shorter than the number of contour levels it will be repeated as necessary.
contourf-only keyword arguments:
- hatches:
- A list of cross hatch patterns to use on the filled areas. If None, no hatching will be added to the contour. Hatching is supported in the PostScript, PDF, SVG and Agg backends only.
Note: contourf fills intervals that are closed at the top; that is, for boundaries z1 and z2, the filled region is:
z1 < z <= z2
There is one exception: if the lowest boundary coincides with the minimum value of the z array, then that minimum value will be included in the lowest interval.
Examples:

matplotlib.pyplot.
contourf
(*args, **kwargs)¶Plot contours.
contour()
and
contourf()
draw contour lines and
filled contours, respectively. Except as noted, function
signatures and return values are the same for both versions.
contourf()
differs from the MATLAB
version in that it does not draw the polygon edges.
To draw edges, add line contours with
calls to contour()
.
Call signatures:
contour(Z)
make a contour plot of an array Z. The level values are chosen automatically.
contour(X,Y,Z)
X, Y specify the (x, y) coordinates of the surface
contour(Z,N)
contour(X,Y,Z,N)
contour up to N automatically-chosen levels.
contour(Z,V)
contour(X,Y,Z,V)
draw contour lines at the values specified in sequence V, which must be in increasing order.
contourf(..., V)
fill the len(V)-1
regions between the values in V,
which must be in increasing order.
contour(Z, **kwargs)
Use keyword args to control colors, linewidth, origin, cmap ... see below for more details.
X and Y must both be 2-D with the same shape as Z, or they
must both be 1-D such that len(X)
is the number of columns in
Z and len(Y)
is the number of rows in Z.
C = contour(...)
returns a
QuadContourSet
object.
Optional keyword arguments:
- corner_mask: [ True | False | ‘legacy’ ]
Enable/disable corner masking, which only has an effect if Z is a masked array. If False, any quad touching a masked point is masked out. If True, only the triangular corners of quads nearest those points are always masked out, other triangular corners comprising three unmasked points are contoured as usual. If ‘legacy’, the old contouring algorithm is used, which is equivalent to False and is deprecated, only remaining whilst the new algorithm is tested fully.
If not specified, the default is taken from rcParams[‘contour.corner_mask’], which is True unless it has been modified.
- colors: [ None | string | (mpl_colors) ]
If None, the colormap specified by cmap will be used.
If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color.
If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.
- alpha: float
- The alpha blending value
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A cm
Colormap
instance or None. If cmap is None and colors is None, a default Colormap is used.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance for scaling data values to colors. If norm is None and colors is None, the default linear scaling is used.- vmin, vmax: [ None | scalar ]
- If not None, either or both of these values will be supplied to the
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance, overriding the default color scaling based on levels.- levels: [level0, level1, ..., leveln]
- A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order; e.g., to draw just the zero contour pass
levels=[0]
- origin: [ None | ‘upper’ | ‘lower’ | ‘image’ ]
If None, the first value of Z will correspond to the lower left corner, location (0,0). If ‘image’, the rc value for
image.origin
will be used.This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
extent: [ None | (x0,x1,y0,y1) ]
If origin is not None, then extent is interpreted as in
matplotlib.pyplot.imshow()
: it gives the outer pixel boundaries. In this case, the position of Z[0,0] is the center of the pixel, not a corner. If origin is None, then (x0, y0) is the position of Z[0,0], and (x1, y1) is the position of Z[-1,-1].This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
- locator: [ None | ticker.Locator subclass ]
- If locator is None, the default
MaxNLocator
is used. The locator is used to determine the contour levels if they are not given explicitly via the V argument.- extend: [ ‘neither’ | ‘both’ | ‘min’ | ‘max’ ]
- Unless this is ‘neither’, contour levels are automatically added to one or both ends of the range so that all data are included. These added ranges are then mapped to the special colormap values which default to the ends of the colormap range, but can be set via
matplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_under()
andmatplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_over()
methods.- xunits, yunits: [ None | registered units ]
- Override axis units by specifying an instance of a
matplotlib.units.ConversionInterface
.- antialiased: [ True | False ]
- enable antialiasing, overriding the defaults. For filled contours, the default is True. For line contours, it is taken from rcParams[‘lines.antialiased’].
- nchunk: [ 0 | integer ]
- If 0, no subdivision of the domain. Specify a positive integer to divide the domain into subdomains of nchunk by nchunk quads. Chunking reduces the maximum length of polygons generated by the contouring algorithm which reduces the rendering workload passed on to the backend and also requires slightly less RAM. It can however introduce rendering artifacts at chunk boundaries depending on the backend, the antialiased flag and value of alpha.
contour-only keyword arguments:
- linewidths: [ None | number | tuple of numbers ]
If linewidths is None, the default width in
lines.linewidth
inmatplotlibrc
is used.If a number, all levels will be plotted with this linewidth.
If a tuple, different levels will be plotted with different linewidths in the order specified.
- linestyles: [ None | ‘solid’ | ‘dashed’ | ‘dashdot’ | ‘dotted’ ]
If linestyles is None, the default is ‘solid’ unless the lines are monochrome. In that case, negative contours will take their linestyle from the
matplotlibrc
contour.negative_linestyle
setting.linestyles can also be an iterable of the above strings specifying a set of linestyles to be used. If this iterable is shorter than the number of contour levels it will be repeated as necessary.
contourf-only keyword arguments:
- hatches:
- A list of cross hatch patterns to use on the filled areas. If None, no hatching will be added to the contour. Hatching is supported in the PostScript, PDF, SVG and Agg backends only.
Note: contourf fills intervals that are closed at the top; that is, for boundaries z1 and z2, the filled region is:
z1 < z <= z2
There is one exception: if the lowest boundary coincides with the minimum value of the z array, then that minimum value will be included in the lowest interval.

csd
(x, y, NFFT=None, Fs=None, Fc=None, detrend=None, window=None, noverlap=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, scale_by_freq=None, return_line=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the cross-spectral density.
Call signature:
csd(x, y, NFFT=256, Fs=2, Fc=0, detrend=mlab.detrend_none,
window=mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=0, pad_to=None,
sides='default', scale_by_freq=None, return_line=None, **kwargs)
The cross spectral density by Welch’s average periodogram method. The vectors x and y are divided into NFFT length segments. Each segment is detrended by function detrend and windowed by function window. noverlap gives the length of the overlap between segments. The product of the direct FFTs of x and y are averaged over each segment to compute , with a scaling to correct for power loss due to windowing.
If len(x) < NFFT or len(y) < NFFT, they will be zero padded to NFFT.
- x, y: 1-D arrays or sequences
- Arrays or sequences containing the data
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
callable
The function applied to each segment before fft-ing,
designed to remove the mean or linear trend. Unlike in
MATLAB, where the detrend parameter is a vector, in
matplotlib is it a function. The pylab
module defines detrend_none()
,
detrend_mean()
, and
detrend_linear()
, but you can use
a custom function as well. You can also use a string to choose
one of the functions. ‘default’, ‘constant’, and ‘mean’ call
detrend_mean()
. ‘linear’ calls
detrend_linear()
. ‘none’ calls
detrend_none()
.
Specifies whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scaling frequency, which gives density in units of Hz^-1. This allows for integration over the returned frequency values. The default is True for MATLAB compatibility.
If return_line is False, returns the tuple (Pxy, freqs). If return_line is True, returns the tuple (Pxy, freqs. line):
- Pxy: 1-D array
- The values for the cross spectrum
P_{xy}
before scaling (complex valued)- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the elements in Pxy
- line: a
Line2D
instance- The line created by this function. Only returend if return_line is True.
For plotting, the power is plotted as
for decibels, though P_{xy}
itself
is returned.

eventplot
(positions, orientation='horizontal', lineoffsets=1, linelengths=1, linewidths=None, colors=None, linestyles='solid', hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot identical parallel lines at specific positions.
Call signature:
eventplot(positions, orientation='horizontal', lineoffsets=0,
linelengths=1, linewidths=None, color =None,
linestyles='solid'
Plot parallel lines at the given positions. positions should be a 1D or 2D array-like object, with each row corresponding to a row or column of lines.
This type of plot is commonly used in neuroscience for representing neural events, where it is commonly called a spike raster, dot raster, or raster plot.
However, it is useful in any situation where you wish to show the timing or position of multiple sets of discrete events, such as the arrival times of people to a business on each day of the month or the date of hurricanes each year of the last century.
For linelengths, linewidths, colors, and linestyles, if only a single value is given, that value is applied to all lines. If an array-like is given, it must have the same length as positions, and each value will be applied to the corresponding row or column in positions.
Returns a list of matplotlib.collections.EventCollection

matplotlib.pyplot.
fill
(*args, **kwargs)¶Plot filled polygons.
Call signature:
fill(*args, **kwargs)
args is a variable length argument, allowing for multiple
x, y pairs with an optional color format string; see

for details on the argument
parsing. For example, to plot a polygon with vertices at x,
y in blue.:
ax.fill(x,y, 'b' )
An arbitrary number of x, y, color groups can be specified:
ax.fill(x1, y1, 'g', x2, y2, 'r')
Return value is a list of Patch
instances that were added.
The same color strings that plot()
supports are supported by the fill format string.
If you would like to fill below a curve, e.g., shade a region
between 0 and y along x, use fill_between()
The closed kwarg will close the polygon when True (default).

If n is zero or negative, accumulate clicks until a middle click (or potentially both mouse buttons at once) terminates the input.
Right clicking cancels last input.
The buttons used for the various actions (adding points, removing points, terminating the inputs) can be overriden via the arguments mouse_add, mouse_pop and mouse_stop, that give the associated mouse button: 1 for left, 2 for middle, 3 for right.
The keyboard can also be used to select points in case your mouse does not have one or more of the buttons. The delete and backspace keys act like right clicking (i.e., remove last point), the enter key terminates input and any other key (not already used by the window manager) selects a point.

grid
(b=None, which='major', axis='both', **kwargs)¶Turn the axes grids on or off.
Call signature:
grid(self, b=None, which='major', axis='both', **kwargs)
Set the axes grids on or off; b is a boolean. (For MATLAB compatibility, b may also be a string, ‘on’ or ‘off’.)
If b is None and len(kwargs)==0
, toggle the grid state. If
kwargs are supplied, it is assumed that you want a grid and b
is thus set to True.
which can be ‘major’ (default), ‘minor’, or ‘both’ to control whether major tick grids, minor tick grids, or both are affected.
axis can be ‘both’ (default), ‘x’, or ‘y’ to control which set of gridlines are drawn.
kwargs are used to set the grid line properties, e.g.,:
ax.grid(color='r', linestyle='-', linewidth=2)

Call signature:
hexbin(x, y, C = None, gridsize = 100, bins = None,
xscale = 'linear', yscale = 'linear',
cmap=None, norm=None, vmin=None, vmax=None,
alpha=None, linewidths=None, edgecolors='none'
reduce_C_function = np.mean, mincnt=None, marginals=True
**kwargs)
Make a hexagonal binning plot of x versus y, where x, y are 1-D sequences of the same length, N. If C is None (the default), this is a histogram of the number of occurences of the observations at (x[i],y[i]).
If C is specified, it specifies values at the coordinate (x[i],y[i]). These values are accumulated for each hexagonal bin and then reduced according to reduce_C_function, which defaults to numpy’s mean function (np.mean). (If C is specified, it must also be a 1-D sequence of the same length as x and y.)
x, y and/or C may be masked arrays, in which case only unmasked points will be plotted.
Optional keyword arguments:
If None, no binning is applied; the color of each hexagon directly corresponds to its count value.
If ‘log’, use a logarithmic scale for the color map. Internally, is used to determine the hexagon color.
If an integer, divide the counts in the specified number of bins, and color the hexagons accordingly.
If a sequence of values, the values of the lower bound of the bins to be used.
The limits of the bins. The default assigns the limits based on gridsize, x, y, xscale and yscale.
If xscale or yscale is set to ‘log’, the limits are expected to be the exponent for a power of 10. E.g. for x-limits of 1 and 50 in ‘linear’ scale and y-limits of 10 and 1000 in ‘log’ scale, enter (1, 50, 1, 3).
Other keyword arguments controlling color mapping and normalization arguments:
matplotlib.colors.Colormap
instance. If None,
defaults to rc image.cmap
.matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance is used to
scale luminance data to 0,1.RegularPolyCollection
.Other keyword arguments controlling the Collection properties:
'none'
| mpl color | color sequence ]If 'none'
, draws the edges in the same color as the fill color.
This is the default, as it avoids unsightly unpainted pixels
between the hexagons.
If None, draws the outlines in the default color.
If a matplotlib color arg or sequence of rgba tuples, draws the outlines in the specified color.

imread
(*args, **kwargs)¶Read an image from a file into an array.
fname may be a string path, a valid URL, or a Python file-like object. If using a file object, it must be opened in binary mode.
If format is provided, will try to read file of that type, otherwise the format is deduced from the filename. If nothing can be deduced, PNG is tried.
Return value is a numpy.array
. For grayscale images, the
return array is MxN. For RGB images, the return value is MxNx3.
For RGBA images the return value is MxNx4.
matplotlib can only read PNGs natively, but if PIL is installed, it will
use it to load the image and return an array (if possible) which
can be used with imshow()
. Note, URL strings
may not be compatible with PIL. Check the PIL documentation for more
information.

matplotlib.pyplot.
legend
(*args, **kwargs)¶Places a legend on the axes.
To make a legend for lines which already exist on the axes (via plot for instance), simply call this function with an iterable of strings, one for each legend item. For example:
ax.plot([1, 2, 3])
ax.legend(['A simple line'])
However, in order to keep the “label” and the legend element
instance together, it is preferable to specify the label either at
artist creation, or by calling the
set_label()
method on the artist:
line, = ax.plot([1, 2, 3], label='Inline label')
# Overwrite the label by calling the method.
line.set_label('Label via method')
ax.legend()
Specific lines can be excluded from the automatic legend element
selection by defining a label starting with an underscore.
This is default for all artists, so calling legend()
without
any arguments and without setting the labels manually will result in
no legend being drawn.
For full control of which artists have a legend entry, it is possible to pass an iterable of legend artists followed by an iterable of legend labels respectively:
legend((line1, line2, line3), ('label1', 'label2', 'label3'))
Parameters: | loc : int or string or pair of floats, default: ‘upper right’
bbox_to_anchor :
ncol : integer
prop : None or
fontsize : int or float or {‘xx-small’, ‘x-small’, ‘small’, ‘medium’, ‘large’, ‘x-large’, ‘xx-large’}
numpoints : None or int
scatterpoints : None or int
scatteryoffsets : iterable of floats
markerscale : None or int or float
markerfirst : bool

borderpad : float or None
labelspacing : float or None
handlelength : float or None
handletextpad : float or None

locator_params
(axis='both', tight=None, **kwargs)¶Control behavior of tick locators.
Keyword arguments:
autoscale_view()
.
Default is None, for no change.Remaining keyword arguments are passed to directly to the
set_params()
method.
Typically one might want to reduce the maximum number of ticks and use tight bounds when plotting small subplots, for example:
ax.locator_params(tight=True, nbins=4)
Because the locator is involved in autoscaling,
autoscale_view()
is called automatically after
the parameters are changed.
This presently works only for the
MaxNLocator
used
by default on linear axes, but it may be generalized.
matplotlib.pyplot.
loglog
(*args, **kwargs)¶Make a plot with log scaling on both the x and y axis.
Call signature:
loglog(*args, **kwargs)
loglog()
supports all the keyword
arguments of plot()
and
matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xscale()
/
matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_yscale()
.
Notable keyword arguments:
- basex/basey: scalar > 1
- Base of the x/y logarithm
- subsx/subsy: [ None | sequence ]
- The location of the minor x/y ticks; None defaults to autosubs, which depend on the number of decades in the plot; see
matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_xscale()
/matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_yscale()
for details- nonposx/nonposy: [‘mask’ | ‘clip’ ]
- Non-positive values in x or y can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a very small positive number

magnitude_spectrum
(x, Fs=None, Fc=None, window=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, scale=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the magnitude spectrum.
Call signature:
magnitude_spectrum(x, Fs=2, Fc=0, window=mlab.window_hanning,
pad_to=None, sides='default', **kwargs)
Compute the magnitude spectrum of x. Data is padded to a length of pad_to and the windowing function window is applied to the signal.
- x: 1-D array or sequence
- Array or sequence containing the data
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performing the FFT. While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds to the n parameter in the call to fft(). The default is None, which sets pad_to equal to the length of the input signal (i.e. no padding).
Returns the tuple (spectrum, freqs, line):
- spectrum: 1-D array
- The values for the magnitude spectrum before scaling (real valued)
- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the elements in spectrum
- line: a

In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
margins
(*args, **kw)¶Set or retrieve autoscaling margins.
signatures:
margins()
returns xmargin, ymargin
margins(margin)
margins(xmargin, ymargin)
margins(x=xmargin, y=ymargin)
margins(..., tight=False)
All three forms above set the xmargin and ymargin parameters.
All keyword parameters are optional. A single argument
specifies both xmargin and ymargin. The tight parameter
is passed to autoscale_view()
, which is executed after
a margin is changed; the default here is True, on the
assumption that when margins are specified, no additional
padding to match tick marks is usually desired. Setting
tight to None will preserve the previous setting.
Specifying any margin changes only the autoscaling; for example, if xmargin is not None, then xmargin times the X data interval will be added to each end of that interval before it is used in autoscaling.
matplotlib.pyplot.
matshow
(A, fignum=None, **kw)¶Display an array as a matrix in a new figure window.
The origin is set at the upper left hand corner and rows (first dimension of the array) are displayed horizontally. The aspect ratio of the figure window is that of the array, unless this would make an excessively short or narrow figure.
Tick labels for the xaxis are placed on top.
With the exception of fignum, keyword arguments are passed to
imshow()
. You may set the origin
kwarg to “lower” if you want the first row in the array to be
at the bottom instead of the top.
By default, matshow()
creates a new figure window with
automatic numbering. If fignum is given as an integer, the
created figure will use this figure number. Because of how
matshow()
tries to set the figure aspect ratio to be the
one of the array, if you provide the number of an already
existing figure, strange things may happen.
If fignum is False or 0, a new figure window will NOT be created.

func(*args, **kwargs)
with hold(True)
and then restores the hold state.
matplotlib.pyplot.
pause
(interval)¶Pause for interval seconds.
If there is an active figure it will be updated and displayed, and the GUI event loop will run during the pause.
If there is no active figure, or if a non-interactive backend is in use, this executes time.sleep(interval).
This can be used for crude animation. For more complex
animation, see matplotlib.animation
.
This function is experimental; its behavior may be changed or extended in a future release.
matplotlib.pyplot.
pcolor
(*args, **kwargs)¶Create a pseudocolor plot of a 2-D array.
Note
pcolor can be very slow for large arrays; consider
using the similar but much faster
pcolormesh()
instead.
Call signatures:
pcolor(C, **kwargs)
pcolor(X, Y, C, **kwargs)
C is the array of color values.
X and Y, if given, specify the (x, y) coordinates of the colored quadrilaterals; the quadrilateral for C[i,j] has corners at:
(X[i, j], Y[i, j]),
(X[i, j+1], Y[i, j+1]),
(X[i+1, j], Y[i+1, j]),
(X[i+1, j+1], Y[i+1, j+1]).
Ideally the dimensions of X and Y should be one greater than those of C; if the dimensions are the same, then the last row and column of C will be ignored.
Note that the column index corresponds to the x-coordinate, and the row index corresponds to y; for details, see the Grid Orientation section below.
If either or both of X and Y are 1-D arrays or column vectors, they will be expanded as needed into the appropriate 2-D arrays, making a rectangular grid.
X, Y and C may be masked arrays. If either C[i, j], or one of the vertices surrounding C[i,j] (X or Y at [i, j], [i+1, j], [i, j+1],[i+1, j+1]) is masked, nothing is plotted.
Keyword arguments:
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Colormap
instance. If None, use rc settings.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- An
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance is used to scale luminance data to 0,1. If None, defaults tonormalize()
.- vmin/vmax: [ None | scalar ]
- vmin and vmax are used in conjunction with norm to normalize luminance data. If either is None, it is autoscaled to the respective min or max of the color array C. If not None, vmin or vmax passed in here override any pre-existing values supplied in the norm instance.
- shading: [ ‘flat’ | ‘faceted’ ]
If ‘faceted’, a black grid is drawn around each rectangle; if ‘flat’, edges are not drawn. Default is ‘flat’, contrary to MATLAB.
- This kwarg is deprecated; please use ‘edgecolors’ instead:
- shading=’flat’ – edgecolors=’none’
- shading=’faceted – edgecolors=’k’
- edgecolors: [ None |
'none'
| color | color sequence]If None, the rc setting is used by default.
If
'none'
, edges will not be visible.An mpl color or sequence of colors will set the edge color
- alpha:
0 <= scalar <= 1
or None- the alpha blending value
- snap: bool
- Whether to snap the mesh to pixel boundaries.
Return value is a matplotlib.collections.Collection
instance.
The grid orientation follows the MATLAB convention: an array C with shape (nrows, ncolumns) is plotted with the column number as X and the row number as Y, increasing up; hence it is plotted the way the array would be printed, except that the Y axis is reversed. That is, C is taken as C*(*y, x).
Similarly for meshgrid()
:
x = np.arange(5)
y = np.arange(3)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
is equivalent to:
X = array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]])
Y = array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[2, 2, 2, 2, 2]])
so if you have:
C = rand(len(x), len(y))
then you need to transpose C:
pcolor(X, Y, C.T)
or:
pcolor(C.T)
MATLAB pcolor()
always discards the last row and column
of C, but matplotlib displays the last row and column if X and
Y are not specified, or if X and Y have one more row and
column than C.

Note
The default antialiaseds is False if the default edgecolors*=”none” is used. This eliminates artificial lines at patch boundaries, and works regardless of the value of alpha. If *edgecolors is not “none”, then the default antialiaseds is taken from rcParams[‘patch.antialiased’], which defaults to True. Stroking the edges may be preferred if alpha is 1, but will cause artifacts otherwise.

pcolormesh
(*args, **kwargs)¶Plot a quadrilateral mesh.
Call signatures:
pcolormesh(C)
pcolormesh(X, Y, C)
pcolormesh(C, **kwargs)
Create a pseudocolor plot of a 2-D array.
pcolormesh is similar to pcolor()
,
but uses a different mechanism and returns a different
object; pcolor returns a
PolyCollection
but pcolormesh
returns a
QuadMesh
. It is much faster,
so it is almost always preferred for large arrays.
C may be a masked array, but X and Y may not. Masked
array support is implemented via cmap and norm; in
contrast, pcolor()
simply does not
draw quadrilaterals with masked colors or vertices.
Keyword arguments:
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Colormap
instance. If None, use rc settings.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance is used to scale luminance data to 0,1. If None, defaults tonormalize()

- vmin and vmax are used in conjunction with norm to normalize luminance data. If either is None, it is autoscaled to the respective min or max of the color array C. If not None, vmin or vmax passed in here override any pre-existing values supplied in the norm instance.
- shading: [ ‘flat’ | ‘gouraud’ ]
- ‘flat’ indicates a solid color for each quad. When ‘gouraud’, each quad will be Gouraud shaded. When gouraud shading, edgecolors is ignored.
- edgecolors: [None |

matplotlib.pyplot.
phase_spectrum
(x, Fs=None, Fc=None, window=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the phase spectrum.
Call signature:
phase_spectrum(x, Fs=2, Fc=0, window=mlab.window_hanning,
pad_to=None, sides='default', **kwargs)
Compute the phase spectrum (unwrapped angle spectrum) of x. Data is padded to a length of pad_to and the windowing function window is applied to the signal.
- x: 1-D array or sequence
- Array or sequence containing the data
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
The number of points to which the data segment is padded when performing the FFT. While not increasing the actual resolution of the spectrum (the minimum distance between resolvable peaks), this can give more points in the plot, allowing for more detail. This corresponds to the n parameter in the call to fft(). The default is None, which sets pad_to equal to the length of the input signal (i.e. no padding).
Returns the tuple (spectrum, freqs, line):
- spectrum: 1-D array
- The values for the phase spectrum in radians (real valued)
- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the elements in spectrum
- line: a

matplotlib.pyplot.
pie
(x, explode=None, labels=None, colors=None, autopct=None, pctdistance=0.6, shadow=False, labeldistance=1.1, startangle=None, radius=None, counterclock=True, wedgeprops=None, textprops=None, center=(0, 0), frame=False, hold=None, data=None)¶Plot a pie chart.
Call signature:
pie(x, explode=None, labels=None,
colors=None,
autopct=None, pctdistance=0.6, shadow=False,
labeldistance=1.1, startangle=None, radius=None,
counterclock=True, wedgeprops=None, textprops=None,
center = (0, 0), frame = False )
Make a pie chart of array x. The fractional area of each wedge is given by x/sum(x). If sum(x) <= 1, then the values of x give the fractional area directly and the array will not be normalized. The wedges are plotted counterclockwise, by default starting from the x-axis.
Keyword arguments:
- explode: [ None | len(x) sequence ]
- If not None, is a
len(x)
array which specifies the fraction of the radius with which to offset each wedge.- colors: [ None | color sequence ]
- A sequence of matplotlib color args through which the pie chart will cycle. If
None
, will use the colors in the currently active cycle.- labels: [ None | len(x) sequence of strings ]
- A sequence of strings providing the labels for each wedge
- autopct: [ None | format string | format function ]
- If not None, is a string or function used to label the wedges with their numeric value. The label will be placed inside the wedge. If it is a format string, the label will be
fmt%pct
. If it is a function, it will be called.- pctdistance: scalar
- The ratio between the center of each pie slice and the start of the text generated by autopct. Ignored if autopct is None; default is 0.6.
- labeldistance: scalar
- The radial distance at which the pie labels are drawn
- shadow: [ False | True ]
- Draw a shadow beneath the pie.
- startangle: [ None | Offset angle ]
- If not None, rotates the start of the pie chart by angle degrees counterclockwise from the x-axis.
radius: [ None | scalar ] The radius of the pie, if radius is None it will be set to 1.
- counterclock: [ False | True ]
- Specify fractions direction, clockwise or counterclockwise.
- wedgeprops: [ None | dict of key value pairs ]
- Dict of arguments passed to the wedge objects making the pie. For example, you can pass in wedgeprops = { ‘linewidth’ : 3 } to set the width of the wedge border lines equal to 3. For more details, look at the doc/arguments of the wedge object. By default
clip_on=False
.- textprops: [ None | dict of key value pairs ]
- Dict of arguments to pass to the text objects.
center: [ (0,0) | sequence of 2 scalars ] Center position of the chart.
- frame: [ False | True ]
- Plot axes frame with the chart.
The pie chart will probably look best if the figure and axes are square, or the Axes aspect is equal. e.g.:
figure(figsize=(8,8))
ax = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8])
or:
axes(aspect=1)
If autopct is None, return the tuple (patches, texts):
- patches is a sequence of
matplotlib.patches.Wedge
instances- texts is a list of the label
matplotlib.text.Text
instances.
If autopct is not None, return the tuple (patches,
texts, autotexts), where patches and texts are as
above, and autotexts is a list of
Text
instances for the numeric
labels.
Notes
In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
pink
()¶set the default colormap to pink and apply to current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information
matplotlib.pyplot.
plasma
()¶set the default colormap to plasma and apply to current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information
matplotlib.pyplot.
plot
(*args, **kwargs)¶Plot lines and/or markers to the
Axes
. args is a variable length
argument, allowing for multiple x, y pairs with an
optional format string. For example, each of the following is
legal:
plot(x, y) # plot x and y using default line style and color
plot(x, y, 'bo') # plot x and y using blue circle markers
plot(y) # plot y using x as index array 0..N-1
plot(y, 'r+') # ditto, but with red plusses
If x and/or y is 2-dimensional, then the corresponding columns will be plotted.
If used with labeled data, make sure that the color spec is not
included as an element in data, as otherwise the last case
plot("v","r", data={"v":..., "r":...)
can be interpreted as the first case which would do plot(v, r)
using the default line style and color.
If not used with labeled data (i.e., without a data argument), an arbitrary number of x, y, fmt groups can be specified, as in:
a.plot(x1, y1, 'g^', x2, y2, 'g-')
Return value is a list of lines that were added.
By default, each line is assigned a different style specified by a ‘style cycle’. To change this behavior, you can edit the axes.prop_cycle rcParam.
The following format string characters are accepted to control the line style or marker:
character | description |
---|---|
'-' |
solid line style |
'--' |
dashed line style |
'-.' |
dash-dot line style |
':' |
dotted line style |

The following color abbreviations are supported:
character | color |
---|---|
‘b’ | blue |
‘g’ | green |
‘r’ | red |
‘c’ | cyan |
‘m’ | magenta |
‘y’ | yellow |
‘k’ | black |
‘w’ | white |
In addition, you can specify colors in many weird and
wonderful ways, including full names ('green'
), hex
strings ('#008000'
), RGB or RGBA tuples ((0,1,0,1)
) or
grayscale intensities as a string ('0.8'
). Of these, the
string specifications can be used in place of a fmt
group,
but the tuple forms can be used only as kwargs
.
Line styles and colors are combined in a single format string, as in
'bo'
for blue circles.
The kwargs can be used to set line properties (any property that has
a set_*
method). You can use this to set a line label (for auto
legends), linewidth, anitialising, marker face color, etc. Here is an
example:
plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3], 'go-', label='line 1', linewidth=2)
plot([1,2,3], [1,4,9], 'rs', label='line 2')
axis([0, 4, 0, 10])
legend()
If you make multiple lines with one plot command, the kwargs apply to all those lines, e.g.:
plot(x1, y1, x2, y2, antialiased=False)
Neither line will be antialiased.
You do not need to use format strings, which are just abbreviations. All of the line properties can be controlled by keyword arguments. For example, you can set the color, marker, linestyle, and markercolor with:
plot(x, y, color='green', linestyle='dashed', marker='o',
markerfacecolor='blue', markersize=12).
See Line2D
for details.

plot_date
(x, y, fmt='o', tz=None, xdate=True, ydate=False, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶A plot with data that contains dates.
Similar to the plot()
command, except
the x or y (or both) data is considered to be dates, and the
axis is labeled accordingly.
x and/or y can be a sequence of dates represented as float days since 0001-01-01 UTC.
Note if you are using custom date tickers and formatters, it
may be necessary to set the formatters/locators after the call
to meth:plot_date
since meth:plot_date
will set the
default tick locator to
class:matplotlib.dates.AutoDateLocator
(if the tick
locator is not already set to a
class:matplotlib.dates.DateLocator
instance) and the
default tick formatter to
class:matplotlib.dates.AutoDateFormatter
(if the tick
formatter is not already set to a

Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
plotfile
(fname, cols=(0, ), plotfuncs=None, comments='#', skiprows=0, checkrows=5, delimiter=', ', names=None, subplots=True, newfig=True, **kwargs)¶Plot the data in in a file.
cols is a sequence of column identifiers to plot. An identifier
is either an int or a string. If it is an int, it indicates the
column number. If it is a string, it indicates the column header.
matplotlib will make column headers lower case, replace spaces with
underscores, and remove all illegal characters; so 'Adj Close*'
will have name 'adj_close'
.
plotfuncs, if not None, is a dictionary mapping identifier to
an Axes
plotting function as a string.
Default is ‘plot’, other choices are ‘semilogy’, ‘fill’, ‘bar’,
etc. You must use the same type of identifier in the cols
vector as you use in the plotfuncs dictionary, e.g., integer
column numbers in both or column names in both. If subplots
is False, then including any function such as ‘semilogy’
that changes the axis scaling will set the scaling for all
columns.
comments, skiprows, checkrows, delimiter, and names
are all passed on to matplotlib.pylab.csv2rec()
to
load the data into a record array.
If newfig is True, the plot always will be made in a new figure; if False, it will be made in the current figure if one exists, else in a new figure.
kwargs are passed on to plotting functions.
Example usage:
# plot the 2nd and 4th column against the 1st in two subplots
plotfile(fname, (0,1,3))
# plot using column names; specify an alternate plot type for volume
plotfile(fname, ('date', 'volume', 'adj_close'),
plotfuncs={'volume': 'semilogy'})
Note: plotfile is intended as a convenience for quickly plotting data from flat files; it is not intended as an alternative interface to general plotting with pyplot or matplotlib.

Multiple theta, r arguments are supported, with format
strings, as in plot()
.

psd
(x, NFFT=None, Fs=None, Fc=None, detrend=None, window=None, noverlap=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, scale_by_freq=None, return_line=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the power spectral density.
Call signature:
psd(x, NFFT=256, Fs=2, Fc=0, detrend=mlab.detrend_none,
window=mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=0, pad_to=None,
sides='default', scale_by_freq=None, return_line=None, **kwargs)
The power spectral density by Welch’s average periodogram method. The vector x is divided into NFFT length segments. Each segment is detrended by function detrend and windowed by function window. noverlap gives the length of the overlap between segments. The of each segment are averaged to compute , with a scaling to correct for power loss due to windowing.
If len(x) < NFFT, it will be zero padded to NFFT.
- x: 1-D array or sequence
- Array or sequence containing the data
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
callable
The function applied to each segment before fft-ing,
designed to remove the mean or linear trend. Unlike in
MATLAB, where the detrend parameter is a vector, in
matplotlib is it a function. The pylab
module defines detrend_none()
,
detrend_mean()
, and
detrend_linear()
, but you can use
a custom function as well. You can also use a string to choose
one of the functions. ‘default’, ‘constant’, and ‘mean’ call
detrend_mean()
. ‘linear’ calls
detrend_linear()
. ‘none’ calls
detrend_none()
.
Specifies whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scaling frequency, which gives density in units of Hz^-1. This allows for integration over the returned frequency values. The default is True for MATLAB compatibility.
If return_line is False, returns the tuple (Pxx, freqs). If return_line is True, returns the tuple (Pxx, freqs. line):
- Pxx: 1-D array
- The values for the power spectrum
P_{xx}
before scaling (real valued)- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the elements in Pxx
- line: a
Line2D
instance- The line created by this function. Only returend if return_line is True.
For plotting, the power is plotted as for decibels, though Pxx itself is returned.

matplotlib.pyplot.
quiver
(*args, **kw)¶Plot a 2-D field of arrows.
call signatures:
quiver(U, V, **kw)
quiver(U, V, C, **kw)
quiver(X, Y, U, V, **kw)
quiver(X, Y, U, V, C, **kw)
Arguments:
- X, Y:
- The x and y coordinates of the arrow locations (default is tail of arrow; see pivot kwarg)
- U, V:
- Give the x and y components of the arrow vectors
- C:
- An optional array used to map colors to the arrows
All arguments may be 1-D or 2-D arrays or sequences. If X and Y
are absent, they will be generated as a uniform grid. If U and V
are 2-D arrays but X and Y are 1-D, and if len(X)
and len(Y)
match the column and row dimensions of U, then X and Y will be
expanded with numpy.meshgrid()
.
U, V, C may be masked arrays, but masked X, Y are not supported at present.
Keyword arguments:
- units: [ ‘width’ | ‘height’ | ‘dots’ | ‘inches’ | ‘x’ | ‘y’ | ‘xy’ ]
Arrow units; the arrow dimensions except for length are in multiples of this unit.
- ‘width’ or ‘height’: the width or height of the axes
- ‘dots’ or ‘inches’: pixels or inches, based on the figure dpi
- ‘x’, ‘y’, or ‘xy’: X, Y, or sqrt(X^2+Y^2) data units
The arrows scale differently depending on the units. For ‘x’ or ‘y’, the arrows get larger as one zooms in; for other units, the arrow size is independent of the zoom state. For ‘width or ‘height’, the arrow size increases with the width and height of the axes, respectively, when the window is resized; for ‘dots’ or ‘inches’, resizing does not change the arrows.
- angles: [ ‘uv’ | ‘xy’ | array ]
- With the default ‘uv’, the arrow axis aspect ratio is 1, so that if U*==*V the orientation of the arrow on the plot is 45 degrees CCW from the horizontal axis (positive to the right). With ‘xy’, the arrow points from (x,y) to (x+u, y+v). Use this for plotting a gradient field, for example. Alternatively, arbitrary angles may be specified as an array of values in degrees, CCW from the horizontal axis. Note: inverting a data axis will correspondingly invert the arrows only with
angles='xy'
.- scale: [ None | float ]
- Data units per arrow length unit, e.g., m/s per plot width; a smaller scale parameter makes the arrow longer. If None, a simple autoscaling algorithm is used, based on the average vector length and the number of vectors. The arrow length unit is given by the scale_units parameter
- scale_units: None, or any of the units options.
For example, if scale_units is ‘inches’, scale is 2.0, and
(u,v) = (1,0)
, then the vector will be 0.5 inches long. If scale_units is ‘width’, then the vector will be half the width of the axes.If scale_units is ‘x’ then the vector will be 0.5 x-axis units. To plot vectors in the x-y plane, with u and v having the same units as x and y, use “angles=’xy’, scale_units=’xy’, scale=1”.
- width:
- Shaft width in arrow units; default depends on choice of units, above, and number of vectors; a typical starting value is about 0.005 times the width of the plot.
- headwidth: scalar
- Head width as multiple of shaft width, default is 3
- headlength: scalar
- Head length as multiple of shaft width, default is 5
- headaxislength: scalar
- Head length at shaft intersection, default is 4.5
- minshaft: scalar
- Length below which arrow scales, in units of head length. Do not set this to less than 1, or small arrows will look terrible! Default is 1
- minlength: scalar
- Minimum length as a multiple of shaft width; if an arrow length is less than this, plot a dot (hexagon) of this diameter instead. Default is 1.
- pivot: [ ‘tail’ | ‘mid’ | ‘middle’ | ‘tip’ ]
- The part of the arrow that is at the grid point; the arrow rotates about this point, hence the name pivot.
- color: [ color | color sequence ]
- This is a synonym for the
PolyCollection
facecolor kwarg. If C has been set, color has no effect.
The defaults give a slightly swept-back arrow; to make the head a triangle, make headaxislength the same as headlength. To make the arrow more pointed, reduce headwidth or increase headlength and headaxislength. To make the head smaller relative to the shaft, scale down all the head parameters. You will probably do best to leave minshaft alone.
linewidths and edgecolors can be used to customize the arrow
outlines. Additional PolyCollection

quiverkey
(*args, **kw)¶Add a key to a quiver plot.
Call signature:
quiverkey(Q, X, Y, U, label, **kw)
Arguments:
- Q:
- The Quiver instance returned by a call to quiver.
- X, Y:
- The location of the key; additional explanation follows.
- U:
- The length of the key
- label:
- A string with the length and units of the key
Keyword arguments:
- coordinates = [ ‘axes’ | ‘figure’ | ‘data’ | ‘inches’ ]
- Coordinate system and units for X, Y: ‘axes’ and ‘figure’ are normalized coordinate systems with 0,0 in the lower left and 1,1 in the upper right; ‘data’ are the axes data coordinates (used for the locations of the vectors in the quiver plot itself); ‘inches’ is position in the figure in inches, with 0,0 at the lower left corner.
- color:
- overrides face and edge colors from Q.
- labelpos = [ ‘N’ | ‘S’ | ‘E’ | ‘W’ ]
- Position the label above, below, to the right, to the left of the arrow, respectively.
- labelsep:
- Distance in inches between the arrow and the label. Default is 0.1
- labelcolor:
- defaults to default
Text
color.- fontproperties:
- A dictionary with keyword arguments accepted by the
FontProperties
initializer: family, style, variant, size, weight
Any additional keyword arguments are used to override vector properties taken from Q.
The positioning of the key depends on X, Y, coordinates, and labelpos. If labelpos is ‘N’ or ‘S’, X, Y give the position of the middle of the key arrow. If labelpos is ‘E’, X, Y positions the head, and if labelpos is ‘W’, X, Y positions the tail; in either of these two cases, X, Y is somewhere in the middle of the arrow+label key object.
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
rc
(*args, **kwargs)¶Set the current rc params. Group is the grouping for the rc, e.g.,
for lines.linewidth
the group is lines
, for
axes.facecolor
, the group is axes
, and so on. Group may
also be a list or tuple of group names, e.g., (xtick, ytick).
kwargs is a dictionary attribute name/value pairs, e.g.,:
rc('lines', linewidth=2, color='r')
sets the current rc params and is equivalent to:
rcParams['lines.linewidth'] = 2
rcParams['lines.color'] = 'r'
The following aliases are available to save typing for interactive users:
Alias | Property |
---|---|
‘lw’ | ‘linewidth’ |
‘ls’ | ‘linestyle’ |
‘c’ | ‘color’ |
‘fc’ | ‘facecolor’ |
‘ec’ | ‘edgecolor’ |
‘mew’ | ‘markeredgewidth’ |
‘aa’ | ‘antialiased’ |
Thus you could abbreviate the above rc command as:
rc('lines', lw=2, c='r')
Note you can use python’s kwargs dictionary facility to store dictionaries of default parameters. e.g., you can customize the font rc as follows:
font = {'family' : 'monospace',
'weight' : 'bold',
'size' : 'larger'}
rc('font', **font) # pass in the font dict as kwargs
This enables you to easily switch between several configurations.
Use rcdefaults()
to restore the default
rc params after changes.
matplotlib.pyplot.
rc_context
(rc=None, fname=None)¶Return a context manager for managing rc settings.
This allows one to do:
with mpl.rc_context(fname='screen.rc'):
plt.plot(x, a)
with mpl.rc_context(fname='print.rc'):
plt.plot(x, b)
plt.plot(x, c)
The ‘a’ vs ‘x’ and ‘c’ vs ‘x’ plots would have settings from ‘screen.rc’, while the ‘b’ vs ‘x’ plot would have settings from ‘print.rc’.
A dictionary can also be passed to the context manager:
with mpl.rc_context(rc={'text.usetex': True}, fname='screen.rc'):
plt.plot(x, a)
The ‘rc’ dictionary takes precedence over the settings loaded from ‘fname’. Passing a dictionary only is also valid.
matplotlib.pyplot.
rcdefaults
()¶Restore the default rc params. These are not the params loaded by the rc file, but mpl’s internal params. See rc_file_defaults for reloading the default params from the rc file
matplotlib.pyplot.
rgrids
(*args, **kwargs)¶Get or set the radial gridlines on a polar plot.
call signatures:
lines, labels = rgrids()
lines, labels = rgrids(radii, labels=None, angle=22.5, **kwargs)
When called with no arguments, rgrid()
simply returns the
tuple (lines, labels), where lines is an array of radial
gridlines (Line2D
instances) and
labels is an array of tick labels
(Text
instances). When called with
arguments, the labels will appear at the specified radial
distances and angles.
labels, if not None, is a len(radii) list of strings of the labels to use at each angle.
If labels is None, the rformatter will be used
Examples:
# set the locations of the radial gridlines and labels
lines, labels = rgrids( (0.25, 0.5, 1.0) )
# set the locations and labels of the radial gridlines and labels
lines, labels = rgrids( (0.25, 0.5, 1.0), ('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry' )
matplotlib.pyplot.
savefig
(*args, **kwargs)¶Save the current figure.
Call signature:
savefig(fname, dpi=None, facecolor='w', edgecolor='w',
orientation='portrait', papertype=None, format=None,
transparent=False, bbox_inches=None, pad_inches=0.1,
frameon=None)
The output formats available depend on the backend being used.
Arguments:
- fname:
A string containing a path to a filename, or a Python file-like object, or possibly some backend-dependent object such as
PdfPages
.If format is None and fname is a string, the output format is deduced from the extension of the filename. If the filename has no extension, the value of the rc parameter
savefig.format
is used.If fname is not a string, remember to specify format to ensure that the correct backend is used.
Keyword arguments:
- dpi: [ None |
scalar > 0
| ‘figure’]- The resolution in dots per inch. If None it will default to the value
savefig.dpi
in the matplotlibrc file. If ‘figure’ it will set the dpi to be the value of the figure.- facecolor, edgecolor:
- the colors of the figure rectangle
- orientation: [ ‘landscape’ | ‘portrait’ ]
- not supported on all backends; currently only on postscript output
- papertype:
- One of ‘letter’, ‘legal’, ‘executive’, ‘ledger’, ‘a0’ through ‘a10’, ‘b0’ through ‘b10’. Only supported for postscript output.
- format:
- One of the file extensions supported by the active backend. Most backends support png, pdf, ps, eps and svg.
- transparent:
- If True, the axes patches will all be transparent; the figure patch will also be transparent unless facecolor and/or edgecolor are specified via kwargs. This is useful, for example, for displaying a plot on top of a colored background on a web page. The transparency of these patches will be restored to their original values upon exit of this function.
- frameon:
- If True, the figure patch will be colored, if False, the figure background will be transparent. If not provided, the rcParam ‘savefig.frameon’ will be used.
- bbox_inches:
- Bbox in inches. Only the given portion of the figure is saved. If ‘tight’, try to figure out the tight bbox of the figure.
- pad_inches:
- Amount of padding around the figure when bbox_inches is ‘tight’.
- bbox_extra_artists:
- A list of extra artists that will be considered when the tight bbox is calculated.

matplotlib.pyplot.
set_cmap
(cmap)¶Set the default colormap. Applies to the current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information.
cmap must be a Colormap
instance, or
the name of a registered colormap.
See matplotlib.cm.register_cmap()
and
matplotlib.cm.get_cmap()
.
matplotlib.pyplot.
setp
(*args, **kwargs)¶Set a property on an artist object.
matplotlib supports the use of setp()
(“set property”) and
getp()
to set and get object properties, as well as to do
introspection on the object. For example, to set the linestyle of a
line to be dashed, you can do:
>>> line, = plot([1,2,3])
>>> setp(line, linestyle='--')
If you want to know the valid types of arguments, you can provide the name of the property you want to set without a value:
>>> setp(line, 'linestyle')
linestyle: [ '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'steps' | 'None' ]
If you want to see all the properties that can be set, and their possible values, you can do:
>>> setp(line)
... long output listing omitted
setp()
operates on a single instance or a list of instances.
If you are in query mode introspecting the possible values, only
the first instance in the sequence is used. When actually setting
values, all the instances will be set. e.g., suppose you have a
list of two lines, the following will make both lines thicker and
red:
>>> x = arange(0,1.0,0.01)
>>> y1 = sin(2*pi*x)
>>> y2 = sin(4*pi*x)
>>> lines = plot(x, y1, x, y2)
>>> setp(lines, linewidth=2, color='r')
setp()
works with the MATLAB style string/value pairs or
with python kwargs. For example, the following are equivalent:
>>> setp(lines, 'linewidth', 2, 'color', 'r') # MATLAB style
>>> setp(lines, linewidth=2, color='r') # python style
matplotlib.pyplot.
show
(*args, **kw)¶Display a figure. When running in ipython with its pylab mode, display all figures and return to the ipython prompt.
In non-interactive mode, display all figures and block until the figures have been closed; in interactive mode it has no effect unless figures were created prior to a change from non-interactive to interactive mode (not recommended). In that case it displays the figures but does not block.
A single experimental keyword argument, block, may be set to True or False to override the blocking behavior described above.

specgram
(x, NFFT=None, Fs=None, Fc=None, detrend=None, window=None, noverlap=None, cmap=None, xextent=None, pad_to=None, sides=None, scale_by_freq=None, mode=None, scale=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶Plot a spectrogram.
Call signature:
specgram(x, NFFT=256, Fs=2, Fc=0, detrend=mlab.detrend_none,
window=mlab.window_hanning, noverlap=128,
cmap=None, xextent=None, pad_to=None, sides='default',
scale_by_freq=None, mode='default', scale='default',
**kwargs)
Compute and plot a spectrogram of data in x. Data are split into NFFT length segments and the spectrum of each section is computed. The windowing function window is applied to each segment, and the amount of overlap of each segment is specified with noverlap. The spectrogram is plotted as a colormap (using imshow).
Keyword arguments:
- Fs: scalar
- The sampling frequency (samples per time unit). It is used to calculate the Fourier frequencies, freqs, in cycles per time unit. The default value is 2.
- window: callable or ndarray
- A function or a vector of length NFFT. To create window vectors see
window_hanning()
,window_none()
,numpy.blackman()
,numpy.hamming()
,numpy.bartlett()
,scipy.signal()
,scipy.signal.get_window()
, etc. The default iswindow_hanning()
. If a function is passed as the argument, it must take a data segment as an argument and return the windowed version of the segment.- sides: [ ‘default’ | ‘onesided’ | ‘twosided’ ]
- Specifies which sides of the spectrum to return. Default gives the default behavior, which returns one-sided for real data and both for complex data. ‘onesided’ forces the return of a one-sided spectrum, while ‘twosided’ forces two-sided.
callable
The function applied to each segment before fft-ing,
designed to remove the mean or linear trend. Unlike in
MATLAB, where the detrend parameter is a vector, in
matplotlib is it a function. The pylab
module defines detrend_none()
,
detrend_mean()
, and
detrend_linear()
, but you can use
a custom function as well. You can also use a string to choose
one of the functions. ‘default’, ‘constant’, and ‘mean’ call
detrend_mean()
. ‘linear’ calls
detrend_linear()
. ‘none’ calls
detrend_none()
.
Specifies whether the resulting density values should be scaled by the scaling frequency, which gives density in units of Hz^-1. This allows for integration over the returned frequency values. The default is True for MATLAB compatibility.
matplotlib.colors.Colormap
instance; if None, use
default determined by rcspecgram()
Note
detrend and scale_by_freq only apply when mode is set to ‘psd’
Returns the tuple (spectrum, freqs, t, im):
- spectrum: 2-D array
- columns are the periodograms of successive segments
- freqs: 1-D array
- The frequencies corresponding to the rows in spectrum
- t: 1-D array
- The times corresponding to midpoints of segments (i.e the columns in spectrum)
- im: instance of class
AxesImage
- The image created by imshow containing the spectrogram
Example:

differs in the default overlap; in returning
the mean of the segment periodograms; in not returning
times; and in generating a line plot instead of colormap.magnitude_spectrum()
angle_spectrum()
phase_spectrum()
Notes
In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
spectral
()¶set the default colormap to spectral and apply to current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information
matplotlib.pyplot.
spring
()¶set the default colormap to spring and apply to current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information

spy
(Z, precision=0, marker=None, markersize=None, aspect='equal', hold=None, **kwargs)¶Plot the sparsity pattern on a 2-D array.
spy(Z)
plots the sparsity pattern of the 2-D array Z.
Parameters: | Z : sparse array (n, m)
precision : float, optional, default: 0
origin : [“upper”, “lower”], optional, default: “upper”
aspect : [‘auto’ | ‘equal’ | scalar], optional, default: “equal”
Two plotting styles are available: image or marker. Both are available for full arrays, but only the marker style works for :class:`scipy.sparse.spmatrix` instances. If *marker* and *markersize* are *None*, an image will be returned and any remaining kwargs are passed to :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.imshow`; else, a :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` object will be returned with the value of marker determining the marker type, and any remaining kwargs passed to the :meth:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot` method. If *marker* and *markersize* are *None*, useful kwargs include: * *cmap* * *alpha* |

stackplot
(x, *args, **kwargs)¶Draws a stacked area plot.
x : 1d array of dimension N
- y
: 2d array of dimension MxN, OR any number 1d arrays each of dimension1xN. The data is assumed to be unstacked. Each of the following calls is legal:
stackplot(x, y) # where y is MxN stackplot(x, y1, y2, y3, y4) # where y1, y2, y3, y4, are all 1xNmKeyword arguments:
- baseline
: [‘zero’, ‘sym’, ‘wiggle’, ‘weighted_wiggle’]- Method used to calculate the baseline. ‘zero’ is just a simple stacked plot. ‘sym’ is symmetric around zero and is sometimes called
ThemeRiver
. ‘wiggle’ minimizes the sum of the squared slopes. ‘weighted_wiggle’ does the same but weights to account for size of each layer. It is also calledStreamgraph
-layout. More details can be found at http://www.leebyron.com/else/streamgraph/.labels : A list or tuple of labels to assign to each data series.
- colors
: A list or tuple of colors. These will be cycled through and- used to colour the stacked areas. All other keyword arguments are passed to
fill_between()
Returns r : A list of
PolyCollection
, one for each element in the stacked area plot.
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
stem
(*args, **kwargs)¶Create a stem plot.
Call signatures:
stem(y, linefmt='b-', markerfmt='bo', basefmt='r-')
stem(x, y, linefmt='b-', markerfmt='bo', basefmt='r-')
A stem plot plots vertical lines (using linefmt) at each x location from the baseline to y, and places a marker there using markerfmt. A horizontal line at 0 is is plotted using basefmt.
If no x values are provided, the default is (0, 1, ..., len(y) - 1)
Return value is a tuple (markerline, stemlines, baseline).

streamplot
(x, y, u, v, density=1, linewidth=None, color=None, cmap=None, norm=None, arrowsize=1, arrowstyle='-|>', minlength=0.1, transform=None, zorder=2, start_points=None, hold=None, data=None)¶Draws streamlines of a vector flow.
- x, y
: 1d arrays- an evenly spaced grid.
- u, v
: 2d arrays- x and y-velocities. Number of rows should match length of y, and the number of columns should match x.
- density
: float or 2-tuple- Controls the closeness of streamlines. When
density = 1
, the domain is divided into a 30x30 grid—density linearly scales this grid. Each cell in the grid can have, at most, one traversing streamline. For different densities in each direction, use [density_x, density_y].- linewidth
: numeric or 2d array- vary linewidth when given a 2d array with the same shape as velocities.
- color
: matplotlib color code, or 2d array- Streamline color. When given an array with the same shape as velocities, color values are converted to colors using cmap.
- cmap
:Colormap
- Colormap used to plot streamlines and arrows. Only necessary when using an array input for color.
- norm
:Normalize
- Normalize object used to scale luminance data to 0, 1. If None, stretch (min, max) to (0, 1). Only necessary when color is an array.
- arrowsize
: float- Factor scale arrow size.
- arrowstyle
: str- Arrow style specification. See
FancyArrowPatch
.- minlength
: float- Minimum length of streamline in axes coordinates.
- start_points: Nx2 array
- Coordinates of starting points for the streamlines. In data coordinates, the same as the
x
andy
arrays.- zorder
: int- any number
Returns:
- stream_container
: StreamplotSetContainer object with attributes
- lines:
matplotlib.collections.LineCollection
of streamlines- arrows: collection of
matplotlib.patches.FancyArrowPatch
objects representing arrows half-way along stream lines.This container will probably change in the future to allow changes to the colormap, alpha, etc. for both lines and arrows, but these changes should be backward compatible.
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
subplot
(*args, **kwargs)¶Return a subplot axes positioned by the given grid definition.
Typical call signature:
subplot(nrows, ncols, plot_number)
Where nrows and ncols are used to notionally split the figure
into nrows * ncols
sub-axes, and plot_number is used to identify
the particular subplot that this function is to create within the notional
grid. plot_number starts at 1, increments across rows first and has a
maximum of nrows * ncols
.
In the case when nrows, ncols and plot_number are all less than 10, a convenience exists, such that the a 3 digit number can be given instead, where the hundreds represent nrows, the tens represent ncols and the units represent plot_number. For instance:
subplot(211)
produces a subaxes in a figure which represents the top plot (i.e. the first) in a 2 row by 1 column notional grid (no grid actually exists, but conceptually this is how the returned subplot has been positioned).
Note
Creating a new subplot with a position which is entirely inside a pre-existing axes will trigger the larger axes to be deleted:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plot a line, implicitly creating a subplot(111)
plt.plot([1,2,3])
# now create a subplot which represents the top plot of a grid
# with 2 rows and 1 column. Since this subplot will overlap the
# first, the plot (and its axes) previously created, will be removed
plt.subplot(211)
plt.plot(range(12))
plt.subplot(212, facecolor='y') # creates 2nd subplot with yellow background
If you do not want this behavior, use the
add_subplot()
method or the
axes()
function instead.
Keyword arguments:
- facecolor:
- The background color of the subplot, which can be any valid color specifier. See
matplotlib.colors
for more information.- polar:
- A boolean flag indicating whether the subplot plot should be a polar projection. Defaults to False.
- projection:
- A string giving the name of a custom projection to be used for the subplot. This projection must have been previously registered. See
matplotlib.projections
.

subplot2grid
(shape, loc, rowspan=1, colspan=1, **kwargs)¶Create a subplot in a grid. The grid is specified by shape, at location of loc, spanning rowspan, colspan cells in each direction. The index for loc is 0-based.
subplot2grid(shape, loc, rowspan=1, colspan=1)
is identical to
gridspec=GridSpec(shape[0], shape[1])
subplotspec=gridspec.new_subplotspec(loc, rowspan, colspan)
subplot(subplotspec)
matplotlib.pyplot.
subplot_tool
(targetfig=None)¶Launch a subplot tool window for a figure.
A matplotlib.widgets.SubplotTool
instance is returned.
matplotlib.pyplot.
subplots
(nrows=1, ncols=1, sharex=False, sharey=False, squeeze=True, subplot_kw=None, gridspec_kw=None, **fig_kw)¶Create a figure with a set of subplots already made.
This utility wrapper makes it convenient to create common layouts of subplots, including the enclosing figure object, in a single call.
Keyword arguments:
- nrows
: int- Number of rows of the subplot grid. Defaults to 1.
- ncols
: int- Number of columns of the subplot grid. Defaults to 1.
- sharex
: string or bool- If True, the X axis will be shared amongst all subplots. If True and you have multiple rows, the x tick labels on all but the last row of plots will have visible set to False If a string must be one of “row”, “col”, “all”, or “none”. “all” has the same effect as True, “none” has the same effect as False. If “row”, each subplot row will share a X axis. If “col”, each subplot column will share a X axis and the x tick labels on all but the last row will have visible set to False.
- sharey
: string or bool- If True, the Y axis will be shared amongst all subplots. If True and you have multiple columns, the y tick labels on all but the first column of plots will have visible set to False If a string must be one of “row”, “col”, “all”, or “none”. “all” has the same effect as True, “none” has the same effect as False. If “row”, each subplot row will share a Y axis and the y tick labels on all but the first column will have visible set to False. If “col”, each subplot column will share a Y axis.
- squeeze
: boolIf True, extra dimensions are squeezed out from the returned axis object:
- if only one subplot is constructed (nrows=ncols=1), the resulting single Axis object is returned as a scalar.
- for Nx1 or 1xN subplots, the returned object is a 1-d numpy object array of Axis objects are returned as numpy 1-d arrays.
- for NxM subplots with N>1 and M>1 are returned as a 2d array.
If False, no squeezing at all is done: the returned axis object is always a 2-d array containing Axis instances, even if it ends up being 1x1.
- subplot_kw
: dict- Dict with keywords passed to the
add_subplot()
call used to create each subplots.- gridspec_kw
: dict- Dict with keywords passed to the
GridSpec
constructor used to create the grid the subplots are placed on.- fig_kw
: dict- Dict with keywords passed to the
figure()
call. Note that all keywords not recognized above will be automatically included here.
Returns:
fig, ax : tuple
- fig is the
matplotlib.figure.Figure
object- ax can be either a single axis object or an array of axis objects if more than one subplot was created. The dimensions of the resulting array can be controlled with the squeeze keyword, see above.
Examples:
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 400)
y = np.sin(x**2)
# Just a figure and one subplot
f, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.set_title('Simple plot')
# Two subplots, unpack the output array immediately
f, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, sharey=True)
ax1.plot(x, y)
ax1.set_title('Sharing Y axis')
ax2.scatter(x, y)
# Four polar axes
plt.subplots(2, 2, subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))
# Share a X axis with each column of subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='col')
# Share a Y axis with each row of subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharey='row')
# Share a X and Y axis with all subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='all', sharey='all')
# same as
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True, sharey=True)
matplotlib.pyplot.
subplots_adjust
(*args, **kwargs)¶Tune the subplot layout.
call signature:
subplots_adjust(left=None, bottom=None, right=None, top=None,
wspace=None, hspace=None)
The parameter meanings (and suggested defaults) are:
left = 0.125 # the left side of the subplots of the figure
right = 0.9 # the right side of the subplots of the figure
bottom = 0.1 # the bottom of the subplots of the figure
top = 0.9 # the top of the subplots of the figure
wspace = 0.2 # the amount of width reserved for blank space between subplots
hspace = 0.2 # the amount of height reserved for white space between subplots
The actual defaults are controlled by the rc file
matplotlib.pyplot.
summer
()¶set the default colormap to summer and apply to current image if any. See help(colormaps) for more information
matplotlib.pyplot.
suptitle
(*args, **kwargs)¶Add a centered title to the figure.
kwargs are matplotlib.text.Text
properties. Using figure
coordinates, the defaults are:
- x
: 0.5- The x location of the text in figure coords
- y
: 0.98- The y location of the text in figure coords
- horizontalalignment
: ‘center’- The horizontal alignment of the text
- verticalalignment
: ‘top’- The vertical alignment of the text
If the fontproperties
keyword argument is given then the
rcParams defaults for fontsize
(figure.titlesize
) and
fontweight
(figure.titleweight
) will be ignored in favour
of the FontProperties
defaults.
A matplotlib.text.Text
instance is returned.
Example:
fig.suptitle('this is the figure title', fontsize=12)
matplotlib.pyplot.
switch_backend
(newbackend)¶Switch the default backend. This feature is experimental, and is only expected to work switching to an image backend. e.g., if you have a bunch of PostScript scripts that you want to run from an interactive ipython session, you may want to switch to the PS backend before running them to avoid having a bunch of GUI windows popup. If you try to interactively switch from one GUI backend to another, you will explode.
Calling this command will close all open windows.
matplotlib.pyplot.
table
(**kwargs)¶Add a table to the current axes.
Call signature:
table(cellText=None, cellColours=None,
cellLoc='right', colWidths=None,
rowLabels=None, rowColours=None, rowLoc='left',
colLabels=None, colColours=None, colLoc='center',
loc='bottom', bbox=None):
Returns a matplotlib.table.Table
instance. For finer
grained control over tables, use the
Table
class and add it to the axes
with add_table()
.
Thanks to John Gill for providing the class and table.

Add text in string s
to axis at location x
, y
, data
coordinates.
Parameters: | x, y : scalars
s : string
fontdict : dictionary, optional, default: None
withdash : boolean, optional, default: False
|
---|---|
Other Parameters: | |
kwargs :
|
Examples
Individual keyword arguments can be used to override any given parameter:
>>> text(x, y, s, fontsize=12)
The default transform specifies that text is in data coords, alternatively, you can specify text in axis coords (0,0 is lower-left and 1,1 is upper-right). The example below places text in the center of the axes:
>>> text(0.5, 0.5,'matplotlib', horizontalalignment='center',
... verticalalignment='center',
... transform=ax.transAxes)
You can put a rectangular box around the text instance (e.g., to
set a background color) by using the keyword bbox
. bbox
is
a dictionary of Rectangle
properties. For example:
>>> text(x, y, s, bbox=dict(facecolor='red', alpha=0.5))
matplotlib.pyplot.
thetagrids
(*args, **kwargs)¶Get or set the theta locations of the gridlines in a polar plot.
If no arguments are passed, return a tuple (lines, labels)
where lines is an array of radial gridlines
(Line2D
instances) and labels is an
array of tick labels (Text
instances):
lines, labels = thetagrids()
Otherwise the syntax is:
lines, labels = thetagrids(angles, labels=None, fmt='%d', frac = 1.1)
set the angles at which to place the theta grids (these gridlines are equal along the theta dimension).
angles is in degrees.
labels, if not None, is a len(angles) list of strings of the labels to use at each angle.
If labels is None, the labels will be fmt%angle
.
frac is the fraction of the polar axes radius at which to place the label (1 is the edge). e.g., 1.05 is outside the axes and 0.95 is inside the axes.
Return value is a list of tuples (lines, labels):
Note that on input, the labels argument is a list of strings,
and on output it is a list of Text
instances.
Examples:
# set the locations of the radial gridlines and labels
lines, labels = thetagrids( range(45,360,90) )
# set the locations and labels of the radial gridlines and labels
lines, labels = thetagrids( range(45,360,90), ('NE', 'NW', 'SW','SE') )
matplotlib.pyplot.
tick_params
(axis='both', **kwargs)¶Change the appearance of ticks and tick labels.
Keyword arguments:
Example:
ax.tick_params(direction='out', length=6, width=2, colors='r')
This will make all major ticks be red, pointing out of the box, and with dimensions 6 points by 2 points. Tick labels will also be red.
matplotlib.pyplot.
ticklabel_format
(**kwargs)¶Change the ScalarFormatter
used by
default for linear axes.
Optional keyword arguments:
Keyword Description style [ ‘sci’ (or ‘scientific’) | ‘plain’ ] plain turns off scientific notation scilimits (m, n), pair of integers; if style is ‘sci’, scientific notation will be used for numbers outside the range 10`m`:sup: to 10`n`:sup:. Use (0,0) to include all numbers. useOffset [True | False | offset]; if True, the offset will be calculated as needed; if False, no offset will be used; if a numeric offset is specified, it will be used. axis [ ‘x’ | ‘y’ | ‘both’ ] useLocale If True, format the number according to the current locale. This affects things such as the character used for the decimal separator. If False, use C-style (English) formatting. The default setting is controlled by the axes.formatter.use_locale rcparam.
Only the major ticks are affected.
If the method is called when the
ScalarFormatter
is not the
Formatter
being used, an
AttributeError
will be raised.
matplotlib.pyplot.
tight_layout
(pad=1.08, h_pad=None, w_pad=None, rect=None)¶Automatically adjust subplot parameters to give specified padding.
Parameters:
pad_inches
.matplotlib.pyplot.
title
(s, *args, **kwargs)¶Set a title of the current axes.
Set one of the three available axes titles. The available titles are positioned above the axes in the center, flush with the left edge, and flush with the right edge.

matplotlib.pyplot.
tricontour
(*args, **kwargs)¶Draw contours on an unstructured triangular grid.
tricontour()
and
tricontourf()
draw contour lines and
filled contours, respectively. Except as noted, function
signatures and return values are the same for both versions.
The triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either:
tricontour(triangulation, ...)
where triangulation is a matplotlib.tri.Triangulation
object, or
tricontour(x, y, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles=triangles, ...)
tricontour(x, y, mask=mask, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles, mask=mask, ...)
in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See
Triangulation
for a explanation of
these possibilities.
The remaining arguments may be:
tricontour(..., Z)
where Z is the array of values to contour, one per point in the triangulation. The level values are chosen automatically.
tricontour(..., Z, N)
contour N automatically-chosen levels.
tricontour(..., Z, V)
draw contour lines at the values specified in sequence V, which must be in increasing order.
tricontourf(..., Z, V)
fill the (len(V)-1) regions between the values in V, which must be in increasing order.
tricontour(Z, **kwargs)
Use keyword args to control colors, linewidth, origin, cmap ... see below for more details.
C = tricontour(...)
returns a
TriContourSet
object.
Optional keyword arguments:
- colors: [ None | string | (mpl_colors) ]
If None, the colormap specified by cmap will be used.
If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color.
If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.
- alpha: float
- The alpha blending value
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A cm
Colormap
instance or None. If cmap is None and colors is None, a default Colormap is used.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance for scaling data values to colors. If norm is None and colors is None, the default linear scaling is used.- levels [level0, level1, ..., leveln]
- A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order; e.g., to draw just the zero contour pass
levels=[0]
- origin: [ None | ‘upper’ | ‘lower’ | ‘image’ ]
If None, the first value of Z will correspond to the lower left corner, location (0,0). If ‘image’, the rc value for
image.origin
will be used.This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
extent: [ None | (x0,x1,y0,y1) ]
If origin is not None, then extent is interpreted as in
matplotlib.pyplot.imshow()
: it gives the outer pixel boundaries. In this case, the position of Z[0,0] is the center of the pixel, not a corner. If origin is None, then (x0, y0) is the position of Z[0,0], and (x1, y1) is the position of Z[-1,-1].This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
- locator: [ None | ticker.Locator subclass ]
- If locator is None, the default
MaxNLocator
is used. The locator is used to determine the contour levels if they are not given explicitly via the V argument.- extend: [ ‘neither’ | ‘both’ | ‘min’ | ‘max’ ]
- Unless this is ‘neither’, contour levels are automatically added to one or both ends of the range so that all data are included. These added ranges are then mapped to the special colormap values which default to the ends of the colormap range, but can be set via
matplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_under()
andmatplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_over()
methods.- xunits, yunits: [ None | registered units ]
- Override axis units by specifying an instance of a
matplotlib.units.ConversionInterface
.
tricontour-only keyword arguments:
- linewidths: [ None | number | tuple of numbers ]
If linewidths is None, the default width in
lines.linewidth
inmatplotlibrc
is used.If a number, all levels will be plotted with this linewidth.
If a tuple, different levels will be plotted with different linewidths in the order specified
- linestyles: [ None | ‘solid’ | ‘dashed’ | ‘dashdot’ | ‘dotted’ ]
If linestyles is None, the ‘solid’ is used.
linestyles can also be an iterable of the above strings specifying a set of linestyles to be used. If this iterable is shorter than the number of contour levels it will be repeated as necessary.
If contour is using a monochrome colormap and the contour level is less than 0, then the linestyle specified in
contour.negative_linestyle
inmatplotlibrc
will be used.
tricontourf-only keyword arguments:
- antialiased: [ True | False ]
- enable antialiasing
Note: tricontourf fills intervals that are closed at the top; that is, for boundaries z1 and z2, the filled region is:
z1 < z <= z2
There is one exception: if the lowest boundary coincides with the minimum value of the z array, then that minimum value will be included in the lowest interval.
Examples:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
tricontourf
(*args, **kwargs)¶Draw contours on an unstructured triangular grid.
tricontour()
and
tricontourf()
draw contour lines and
filled contours, respectively. Except as noted, function
signatures and return values are the same for both versions.
The triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either:
tricontour(triangulation, ...)
where triangulation is a matplotlib.tri.Triangulation
object, or
tricontour(x, y, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles=triangles, ...)
tricontour(x, y, mask=mask, ...)
tricontour(x, y, triangles, mask=mask, ...)
in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See
Triangulation
for a explanation of
these possibilities.
The remaining arguments may be:
tricontour(..., Z)
where Z is the array of values to contour, one per point in the triangulation. The level values are chosen automatically.
tricontour(..., Z, N)
contour N automatically-chosen levels.
tricontour(..., Z, V)
draw contour lines at the values specified in sequence V, which must be in increasing order.
tricontourf(..., Z, V)
fill the (len(V)-1) regions between the values in V, which must be in increasing order.
tricontour(Z, **kwargs)
Use keyword args to control colors, linewidth, origin, cmap ... see below for more details.
C = tricontour(...)
returns a
TriContourSet
object.
Optional keyword arguments:
- colors: [ None | string | (mpl_colors) ]
If None, the colormap specified by cmap will be used.
If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color.
If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.
- alpha: float
- The alpha blending value
- cmap: [ None | Colormap ]
- A cm
Colormap
instance or None. If cmap is None and colors is None, a default Colormap is used.- norm: [ None | Normalize ]
- A
matplotlib.colors.Normalize
instance for scaling data values to colors. If norm is None and colors is None, the default linear scaling is used.- levels [level0, level1, ..., leveln]
- A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order; e.g., to draw just the zero contour pass
levels=[0]
- origin: [ None | ‘upper’ | ‘lower’ | ‘image’ ]
If None, the first value of Z will correspond to the lower left corner, location (0,0). If ‘image’, the rc value for
image.origin
will be used.This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
extent: [ None | (x0,x1,y0,y1) ]
If origin is not None, then extent is interpreted as in
matplotlib.pyplot.imshow()
: it gives the outer pixel boundaries. In this case, the position of Z[0,0] is the center of the pixel, not a corner. If origin is None, then (x0, y0) is the position of Z[0,0], and (x1, y1) is the position of Z[-1,-1].This keyword is not active if X and Y are specified in the call to contour.
- locator: [ None | ticker.Locator subclass ]
- If locator is None, the default
MaxNLocator
is used. The locator is used to determine the contour levels if they are not given explicitly via the V argument.- extend: [ ‘neither’ | ‘both’ | ‘min’ | ‘max’ ]
- Unless this is ‘neither’, contour levels are automatically added to one or both ends of the range so that all data are included. These added ranges are then mapped to the special colormap values which default to the ends of the colormap range, but can be set via
matplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_under()
andmatplotlib.colors.Colormap.set_over()
methods.- xunits, yunits: [ None | registered units ]
- Override axis units by specifying an instance of a
matplotlib.units.ConversionInterface
.
tricontour-only keyword arguments:
- linewidths: [ None | number | tuple of numbers ]
If linewidths is None, the default width in
lines.linewidth
inmatplotlibrc
is used.If a number, all levels will be plotted with this linewidth.
If a tuple, different levels will be plotted with different linewidths in the order specified
- linestyles: [ None | ‘solid’ | ‘dashed’ | ‘dashdot’ | ‘dotted’ ]
If linestyles is None, the ‘solid’ is used.
linestyles can also be an iterable of the above strings specifying a set of linestyles to be used. If this iterable is shorter than the number of contour levels it will be repeated as necessary.
If contour is using a monochrome colormap and the contour level is less than 0, then the linestyle specified in
contour.negative_linestyle
inmatplotlibrc
will be used.
tricontourf-only keyword arguments:
- antialiased: [ True | False ]
- enable antialiasing
Note: tricontourf fills intervals that are closed at the top; that is, for boundaries z1 and z2, the filled region is:
z1 < z <= z2
There is one exception: if the lowest boundary coincides with the minimum value of the z array, then that minimum value will be included in the lowest interval.
Examples:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
tripcolor
(*args, **kwargs)¶Create a pseudocolor plot of an unstructured triangular grid.
The triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either:
tripcolor(triangulation, ...)
where triangulation is a matplotlib.tri.Triangulation
object, or
tripcolor(x, y, ...)
tripcolor(x, y, triangles, ...)
tripcolor(x, y, triangles=triangles, ...)
tripcolor(x, y, mask=mask, ...)
tripcolor(x, y, triangles, mask=mask, ...)
in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See
Triangulation
for a explanation of these
possibilities.
The next argument must be C, the array of color values, either one per point in the triangulation if color values are defined at points, or one per triangle in the triangulation if color values are defined at triangles. If there are the same number of points and triangles in the triangulation it is assumed that color values are defined at points; to force the use of color values at triangles use the kwarg facecolors*=C instead of just *C.
shading may be ‘flat’ (the default) or ‘gouraud’. If shading is ‘flat’ and C values are defined at points, the color values used for each triangle are from the mean C of the triangle’s three points. If shading is ‘gouraud’ then color values must be defined at points.
The remaining kwargs are the same as for
pcolor()
.
Example:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state
matplotlib.pyplot.
triplot
(*args, **kwargs)¶Draw a unstructured triangular grid as lines and/or markers.
The triangulation to plot can be specified in one of two ways; either:
triplot(triangulation, ...)
where triangulation is a matplotlib.tri.Triangulation
object, or
triplot(x, y, ...)
triplot(x, y, triangles, ...)
triplot(x, y, triangles=triangles, ...)
triplot(x, y, mask=mask, ...)
triplot(x, y, triangles, mask=mask, ...)
in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See
Triangulation
for a explanation of these
possibilities.
The remaining args and kwargs are the same as for
plot()
.
Return a list of 2 Line2D
containing
respectively:
- the lines plotted for triangles edges
- the markers plotted for triangles nodes
Example:
Additional kwargs: hold = [True|False] overrides default hold state

matplotlib.pyplot.
xkcd
(scale=1, length=100, randomness=2)¶Turns on xkcd sketch-style drawing mode. This will only have effect on things drawn after this function is called.
For best results, the “Humor Sans” font should be installed: it is not included with matplotlib.
Parameters: | scale : float, optional
length : float, optional
randomness : float, optional
|
---|
Notes
This function works by a number of rcParams, so it will probably override others you have set before.
If you want the effects of this function to be temporary, it can be used as a context manager, for example:
with plt.xkcd():
# This figure will be in XKCD-style
fig1 = plt.figure()
# ...
# This figure will be in regular style
fig2 = plt.figure()
matplotlib.pyplot.
xlabel
(s, *args, **kwargs)¶Set the x axis label of the current axis.
Default override is:
override = {
'fontsize' : 'small',
'verticalalignment' : 'top',
'horizontalalignment' : 'center'
}

matplotlib.pyplot.
xlim
(*args, **kwargs)¶Get or set the x limits of the current axes.
xmin, xmax = xlim() # return the current xlim
xlim( (xmin, xmax) ) # set the xlim to xmin, xmax
xlim( xmin, xmax ) # set the xlim to xmin, xmax
If you do not specify args, you can pass the xmin and xmax as kwargs, e.g.:
xlim(xmax=3) # adjust the max leaving min unchanged
xlim(xmin=1) # adjust the min leaving max unchanged
Setting limits turns autoscaling off for the x-axis.
The new axis limits are returned as a length 2 tuple.
matplotlib.pyplot.
xscale
(*args, **kwargs)¶Set the scaling of the x-axis.
call signature:
xscale(scale, **kwargs)
The available scales are: ‘linear’ | ‘log’ | ‘logit’ | ‘symlog’
Different keywords may be accepted, depending on the scale:
‘linear’
‘log’
- basex/basey:
- The base of the logarithm
- nonposx/nonposy: [‘mask’ | ‘clip’ ]
- non-positive values in x or y can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a very small positive number
- subsx/subsy:
Where to place the subticks between each major tick. Should be a sequence of integers. For example, in a log10 scale:
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
will place 8 logarithmically spaced minor ticks between each major tick.
‘logit’
- nonpos: [‘mask’ | ‘clip’ ]
- values beyond ]0, 1[ can be masked as invalid, or clipped to a number very close to 0 or 1
‘symlog’
- basex/basey:
- The base of the logarithm
- linthreshx/linthreshy:
- The range (-x, x) within which the plot is linear (to avoid having the plot go to infinity around zero).
- subsx/subsy:
Where to place the subticks between each major tick. Should be a sequence of integers. For example, in a log10 scale:
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
will place 8 logarithmically spaced minor ticks between each major tick.
- linscalex/linscaley:
- This allows the linear range (-linthresh to linthresh) to be stretched relative to the logarithmic range. Its value is the number of decades to use for each half of the linear range. For example, when linscale == 1.0 (the default), the space used for the positive and negative halves of the linear range will be equal to one decade in the logarithmic range.
matplotlib.pyplot.
xticks
(*args, **kwargs)¶Get or set the x-limits of the current tick locations and labels.
# return locs, labels where locs is an array of tick locations and
# labels is an array of tick labels.
locs, labels = xticks()
# set the locations of the xticks
xticks( arange(6) )
# set the locations and labels of the xticks
