How to Plot Synchronously With Matplotlib?

To plot synchronously with matplotlib, you can use the matplotlib.pyplot module to create plots and display them in real-time. By using functions such as plt.plot() and plt.show(), you can generate plots and show them on the screen as they are created. This allows you to update the plot in real-time as new data is added or modified. Additionally, you can use functions such as plt.pause() to pause the execution of the code and update the plot at specific intervals. By using these functions in combination, you can create synchronous plots with matplotlib that update in real-time.

How to plot multiple graphs on the same figure with matplotlib?

To plot multiple graphs on the same figure with matplotlib, you can create subplots using the subplot() function. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to plot multiple graphs on the same figure:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Generate some data for plotting
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

# Create a figure and axis objects
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2)

# Plot the first graph
axs[0].plot(x, y1)
axs[0].set_title('Sin(x)')

# Plot the second graph
axs[1].plot(x, y2)
axs[1].set_title('Cos(x)')

# Show the plot
plt.show()

In this code, we first generate some sample data using NumPy. Then, we create a figure and two axis objects using the subplots() function. We use the plot() function on each axis object to plot the data for each graph. Finally, we show the plot using plt.show().

You can customize the layout of the subplots by specifying the number of rows and columns in the subplots() function, e.g., plt.subplots(2, 2) would create a 2x2 grid of subplots.

What is the matplotlib.pyplot.show() function used for?

The matplotlib.pyplot.show() function is used to display all the figures that have been created using Matplotlib. It opens a new interactive window that shows the plots, allowing the user to view, save, or interact with the plots as needed. It is typically the last line of code in a Matplotlib script and is used to finalize and display the plots.

How to set the size of a matplotlib plot?

To set the size of a matplotlib plot, you can use the figsize parameter when creating a new figure using plt.figure() or when specifying the size of a subplot using plt.subplots().

Here's an example of how to set the size of a matplotlib plot using the figsize parameter:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Set the figure size
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))

# Plot your data
plt.plot(x, y)

# Display the plot
plt.show()

In this example, the figsize=(8, 6) parameter sets the width and height of the plot to be 8 inches and 6 inches, respectively. You can adjust the width and height values to make the plot larger or smaller as needed.
