plot.convert(ifile, ofile, density=300)[source]¶

Convert a file.

plot.crop(name, border=10)[source]¶

Crop a file.

plot.save(name, border=10, **kwargs)[source]¶

Save a file and crop it.

plot.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, w=6, h=6, l=1.0, r=1.0, t=1.0, b=1.0, ws=1.0, hs=1.0, units='in', **kwargs)[source]¶

Wrapper around matplotlib.pyplot.subplots() that uses absolute (instead of relative) lengths.

Parameters:	nrows – number of rows ncols – number of cols w – width of each subplot h – height of each subplot l – left margin r – right margin t – top margin b – bottom margin ws – horizontal space between subplots hs – vertical space between subplots units – units of length (default=in, cm)

plot.multiple_locator(axis=None, x=None, y=None, s=None, which='major')[source]¶

Easier way to set mpl.ticker.MultipleLocator.

plot.maxn_locator(axis=None, x=None, y=None, s=None, which='major')[source]¶

Easier way to set mpl.ticker.MaxNLocator.

plot.scilimits(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Easier way to set scilimits.

plot.zoom(axis=None, factor=0.05, l=None, r=None, t=None, b=None)[source]¶

Zoom out.

plot.shift_subplots(fig=None, horizontal=0.0, vertical=0.0)[source]¶

Shift center of subplots.

plot.create_colorbar_axes(axis=None, shift=0.01, width=0.05)[source]¶

Create colorbar axis next to subplot.

plot.fix_colorbar_labels(cax)[source]¶

Align colorbar labels.

plot.fake_alpha(rgb, alpha)[source]¶

Compute color.

plot.rectangle(x0, y0, x1, y1, axis=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Draw a rectangle.

plot.contourf(x, y, v, n, index=(slice(None, None, None), slice(None, None, None), 0), **kwargs)[source]¶

wrapper around contourf

plot.contour(x, y, v, n, index=(slice(None, None, None), slice(None, None, None), 0), **kwargs)[source]¶

wrapper around contour

plot.errorbar(x, y, color='r', **kwargs)[source]¶

wrapper around errorbar

plot.transformA(x, y, a=None)[source]¶

transform angle from data to screen coordinates

plot.transformX(x, transform_from=None, transform_to=None)[source]¶

transform x from axes to data coords

plot.transformY(y, transform_from=None, transform_to=None)[source]¶

transform y from axes to data coords

plot.scale_bars(patches)[source]¶

scales bars of bar plot

class plot.BarPlot(groups, members, rwidth=0.5, gshift=1.0)[source]¶

Helper for calculating x-values of bar plots.

>>> bar = BarPlot(groups=3, members=2)
>>> bar.ydata[0,:] = [1,1] #group 0
>>> bar.ydata[1,:] = [2,2] #group 1
>>> bar.ydata[2,:] = [3,3] #group 2
>>> bar.plot()

class plot.PeakFinder(figure=None, mode='fit', handle=None, callback=None, savename='plot.pdf')[source]¶

Interactive way to find peaks on a xy plot.

>>> fig, ax1 = plt.subplots(1, 1)
>>> x = np.linspace(-2*np.pi, 2*np.pi)
>>> plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), 'r-')
>>> finder = PeakFinder(figure=fig)
>>> plt.show()
