synthesizer.utils.plt

A module containg helper functions for working with matplotlib.

Example usage:

fig, ax = single(3.5) fig, ax, haxx, haxy = single_histxy(size=3.5, set_axis_off=True)

Functions

synthesizer.utils.plt.single(size=3.5)

Set up a matplotlib figure containing a single axis.

Parameters:

size (float) – The size of the plot along both axes in inches.

Returns:

matplotlib.Figure

The created figure containing the axes.

matplotlib.Axis

The axis on which to plot.

synthesizer.utils.plt.single_histxy(size=3.5, set_axis_off=True)

Set up a matplotlib figure containing a single axis, and a histogram on each axis.

Parameters:

• size (float) – The size of the plot along both axes in inches.

• set_axis_off (bool) – Should the histograms have their axes removed?

Returns:

matplotlib.Figure

The created figure containing the axes.

ax (matplotlib.Axis)

The axis on which to plot.

haxx (matplotlib.Axis)

The axis for the x histogram.

haxy (matplotlib.Axis)

The axis for the y histogram.

synthesizer.utils.plt.single_wcbar_right(hsize=3.5)

Set up a matplotlib figure containing a single axis and a colorbar.

Parameters:

hsize (float) – The horizontal size of the plot in inches.

Returns:

matplotlib.Figure

The created figure containing the axes.

ax (matplotlib.Axis)

The axis on which to plot.

cax (matplotlib.Axis)

The axis for the colorbar.
