How to clear the memory completely of all Matplotlib plots?
Using the following methods, we can clear the memory occupied by Matplotlib plots.plt.figure() - Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.plt.figure().close() - Close a figure window.close() by itself closes the current figureclose(h), where h is a Figure instance, closes that figureclose(num) closes the figure number, numclose(name), where name is a string, closes figure with that labelclose('all') closes all the figure windowsplt.figure().clear() - It is the same as clf.plt.cla() - Clear the current axes.plt.clf() - Clear the current figure.Examplefrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() plt.figure().clear() plt.close() plt.cla() plt.clf()OutputWhen we execute the code, it will clear all the plots from ...
Read MorePlot a bar using matplotlib using a dictionary
First, we can define our dictionary and then, convert that dictionary into keys and values. Finally, we can use the data to plot a bar chart.StepsCreate a dictionary, i.e., data, where milk and water are the keys.Get the list of keys of the dictionary.Get the list of values of the dictionary.Plot the bar using plt.bar().Using plt.show(), show the figure.Exampleimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt data = {'milk': 60, 'water': 10} names = list(data.keys()) values = list(data.values()) plt.bar(range(len(data)), values, tick_label=names) plt.show()Output
Read MoreSave the plots into a PDF in matplotlib
Using plt.savefig("myImagePDF.pdf", format="pdf", bbox_inches="tight") method, we can save a figure in PDF format.StepsCreate a dictionary with Column 1 and Column 2 as the keys and Values are like i and i*i, where i is from 0 to 10, respectively.Create a data frame using pd.DataFrame(d), d created in step 1.Plot the data frame with ‘o’ and ‘rx’ style.To save the file in PDF format, use savefig() method where the image name is myImagePDF.pdf, format = ”pdf”.To show the image, use the plt.show() method.Exampleimport pandas as pd from matplotlib import pyplot as plt d = {'Column 1': [i for i in ...
Read MoreHow to hide axes and gridlines in Matplotlib?
To hide axes (X and Y) and gridlines, we can take the following steps −Create x and y points using numpy.Plot a horizontal line (y=0) for X-Axis, using the plot() method with linestyle, labels.Plot x and y points using the plot() method with linestyle, labels.To hide the grid, use plt.grid(False).To hide the axes, use plt.axis('off')To activate the labels' legend, use the legend() 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 x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 50) y = np.sin(x) plt.axhline(y=0, c="green", linestyle="dashdot", label="y=0") plt.plot(x, y, c="red", lw=5, linestyle="dashdot", label="y=sin(x)") plt.grid(False) plt.axis('off') ...
Read MoreHow to Resize Matplotlib RadioButtons
Matplotlib is a popular data visualization library in Python that provides a wide range of tools for creating interactive plots and charts. One of the interactive components offered by Matplotlib is the RadioButtons widget, which allows users to select a single option from a group of mutually exclusive choices. While working with RadioButtons, you may encounter situations where you need to resize them to better fit your plot or application layout. In this article, we will explore different methods to resize Matplotlib RadioButtons. Syntax radio_buttons.ax.set_position([left, bottom, width, height]) Here, radio_buttons refers to the instance of the RadioButtons widget. ...
Read MoreIn Matplotlib, show the percentage or proportional data where each slice of pie represents a category
In this article, we can create a pie chart to show our daily activities, i.e., sleeping, eating, working, and playing. Using plt.pie() method, we can create a pie chart with the given different data sets for different activities.StepsCreate a list of days, i.e., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Similarly, make lists for sleeping, eating, playing, and working. There is an activities list that keeps “sleeping”, “eating”, “working” and “playing”.Make a list of colors.Use plt.pie() method to draw the pie chart, where slices, activities, colors as cols, etc. are passed.Set a title for the axes, i.e., “Pie Chart”.To show the figure ...
Read MoreHow to convert a .wav file to a spectrogram in Python3?
To convert a .wav file to a spectrogram in python3, we can take the following steps −Load a .wav file from local machine.Compute a spectrogram with consecutive Fourier transforms using spectrogram() method.Create a pseudocolor plot with a non-regular rectangular grid using pcolormesh() method.Use imshow() method with spectrogram.To display the figure, use show() method.Exampleimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy import signal from scipy.io import wavfile plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True sample_rate, samples = wavfile.read('test.wav') frequencies, times, spectrogram = signal.spectrogram(samples, sample_rate) plt.pcolormesh(times, frequencies, spectrogram, shading='flat') plt.imshow(spectrogram) plt.show()Output
Read MoreWhat is the preferred way to set Matplotlib figure/axes properties?
To set the properties of a plot, we can get the current axis of the plot. After that, we can perform several set_* methods to set the properties of the plot.StepsCreate a figure and a set of subplots using subplots() method with figsize=(5, 5).Create x and y data points using numpy.Plot x and y using plot() method.Set the title and labels (for X and Y axis) using set_xlabel() and set_ylabel() methods.To display the figure, use show() method.Exampleimport numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig, ax = plt.subplots() x = np.linspace(-1, 1, 10) y = ...
Read MoreHow to remove gaps between bars in Matplotlib bar chart?
To remove gaps between bars, we can change the align value to center in the argument of bar() method.StepsCreate a dictionary called data with two keys, milk and water.Get the list of keys and values in the dictionay.Using subplots() method, create a figure and add a set of two subplots.On axis 2, use bar method to plot bars without gaps. Set the width attribute as 1.0. Set the title using set_title() method.Use tight_layout() to adjust the padding between and around the subplots.To display the figure, use show() method.Exampleimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True data = {'milk': 12, 'water': ...
Read MoreRotate theta=0 on a Matplotlib polar plot
To set theta=0 on a matplotlib polar plot, we can take the following steps −Create random theta in the range of 0 to 100; convert them into radian.Using set_theta_zero_location() method, we can set the location of theta to 0.Plot theta_in_rad and data_r using plot() method.Set the title of the plot using title() method.To display the figure, use show() method.Exampleimport numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import random plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True theta_in_rad = [float(i) * np.pi / 180.0 for i in range(0, 100, 10)] data_r = random.sample(range(70, 90), 10) ax = plt.subplot(111, polar=True) ax.set_theta_zero_location("W") ax.plot(theta_in_rad, data_r, color='r', linewidth=3) ax.set_title("Example", ...
