To create a temporary file with the PowerShell, we can use the New-TemporaryFile command. This command creates a temporary file tmp.tmp where NNNN represents the random hexadecimal number.ExamplePS C:\> New-TemporaryFile Directory: C:\Users\Administrator.AUTOMATIONLAB\AppData\Local\Temp Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name ----                -------------         ------ ---- -a----        4/10/2021   9:14 PM              0 tmpF624.tmpThe output path is selected based on the path defined at Path.GetTempPath() https://docs.microsoft.com/

To get the disk performance using PowerShell, we need to use the Performance counter of the disk. There are performance counters available for the Physical disk or the logical disk. To check what the disks related counter sets are available we can use the below command, ExamplePS C:\> Get-Counter -ListSet "*disk*" | Select CounterSetNameOutputCounterSetName -------------- FileSystem Disk Activity Storage Spaces Virtual Disk LogicalDisk PhysicalDiskWe will use a Logical disk to get more information about it. We will retrieve its counter first.ExampleGet-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk | Select -ExpandProperty CounterOutputWe need to retrieve the Disk read time counter, ExampleGet-Counter -Counter '\LogicalDisk(*)\% Disk Read ...

To plot the lines first and points last, we can take the following Steps −Create xpoints, y1points and y2points using numpy, to draw lines.Plot the curves using the plot() method with x, y1 and y2 points.Draw the scatter points using the scatter method.To display the figure, use the show() method.Exampleimport numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True xpoints = np.linspace(1, 1.5, 10) y1points = np.log(xpoints) y2points = np.exp(xpoints) plt.plot(xpoints, y1points) plt.plot(xpoints, y2points) for i in xpoints:    plt.scatter(i, np.random.randint(10)) plt.show()OutputRead More

It seems difficult to change the projection of an existing axis, but we can take the following steps to create different type projections −Using subplot() method, add a subplot to the current figure, with nrows=1, ncols=3 and current index=1.Add a title to the current axis.Using subplot() method, add a subplot to the current figure, with nrows=1, ncols=3 and current index=2, projection=hammer.Add a title to current axis, hammer.Using subplot() method, add a subplot to the current figure, with nrows=1, ncols=3 and current index=3, projection=polar.Add a title to current axis, polar.To display the figure, use the show() method.Examplefrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = ...
