Simple matplotlib-related utility functions.
Project description
plotutils
=====
This is where I keep matplotlib-related plotting utility functions I have found useful.
Installation
------
To install::
pip install plotutils
Usage
------
How to use `setfig`:
This will create a new figure (same as plt.figure() call in
matplotlib):
.. code-block:: python
from plotutils import setfig
setfig(None) #or setfig()
You can also set the current figure to be a given figure number, clear it, and start over, e.g.: `setfig(3)`.
`setfig(0)` will do nothing, implying you want to overplot on the currently active figure.
I use the `setfig` function in every function that I write that makes
a plot, almost always as follows:
.. code-block:: python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def my_plot(x,y,fig=None,**kwargs):
setfig(fig)
plt.plot(x,y,**kwargs)
