class plot_class(path)[source]

Bases: object

Defines parameters and methods for the plotting of data produced by functions belonging to the bm3_thermal_2 module

multi(x, y, sl, lgl, title='', xlab='default', ylab='default', fsize=0, tsize=0, save=False, dpi=0, name='default', ext='default', tex='default')[source]

Plot multiple curves.

Parameters:

  • x – array of independent variable arrays

  • y – array of dependent variable arrays

  • sl – array of styles (one for each curve)

  • lgl – array of curve labels (for the legend)

Note

See the documentation for the ‘simple’ method for information about the other keyword arguments.

Example

>>> x=np.linspace(-2, 2, 24)
>>> y1=x**2
>>> y2=x**3
>>> x=[x,x]
>>> y=[y1,y2]
>>> style=['k-', 'r+']
>>> label=[r'Y=X$^2$', r'Y=X$^3$']
>>> plot.multi(x,y, style, label, tex=True)
reset_param()[source]

Resets parameters to their default values

set_param(dpi=0, fsize=0, tsize=0, style='', name='', ext='', tex='')[source]

Sets parameters relevant to the production of plots.

Parameters:

  • dpi – resolution of the saved picture (default 80)

  • fsize – fontsize of labels and title (default 10)

  • tsize – fontsize of ticks (default 10)

  • style – style of the plot (line or point types and color; default ‘k-‘)

  • name – name of the saved file (default ‘myplot’)

  • ext – extension (and format) of the saved file (default jpg)

  • tex – if True, LaTeX fonts and format is used (default False)

Note

Some of these parameters affect the output from the methods ‘simple’ and ‘multi’ of the class, as a function of the argument ‘save’ passed to the methods themselves.

simple(x, y, title='', style='default', xlab='default', ylab='default', fsize=0, tsize=0, save=False, dpi=0, name='default', ext='default', tex='default')[source]

Plots a single (x, y) curve.

Parameters:

  • x – independent variable (array of data)

  • y – dependent variable (array of data)

  • title – plot title (default no title ‘’)

  • style – style of the plot (default self.style)

  • xlab – X axis label (default self.xlab)

  • ylab – Y axis label (default self.ylab)

  • fsize – label and title size (default self.fsize)

  • tsize – tick size (default self.tsize)

  • save – if True, the plot will be saved on a file (default False)

  • dpi – resolution of the saved file (default self.dpi)

  • name – name of the saved file (default self.name)

  • ext – extension (and format) of the saved file (default self.ext)

  • tex – if True, tex fonts and format are used

Note

The arguments dpi, name and ext are relevant only if save is True

Examples

>>> plot.simple(x,y, style='r-', xlab='T (K)', ylab='Alpha (K^-1)', fsize=12)

>>> plot.set_param(fsize=12, style='r-')
>>> plot.simple(x,y, xlab='T (K)', ylab='alpha (K^-1)')
