MplDrawer¶

class MplDrawer[source]¶

Drawer for MatplotLib backend.

Options

The following can be set using set_options().

Options

Defined in the class BaseDrawer:
- axis (Any)
  
  Default value: None
  
  Arbitrary object that can be used as a canvas.
- subplots (Tuple[int, int])
  
  Default value: (1, 1)
  
  Number of rows and columns when the experimental result is drawn in the multiple windows.
- default_style (PlotStyle)
  
  Default value: {"figsize": ("figsize", (8, 5)), "legend_loc": ("legend_loc", None), "tick_label_size": ("tick_label_size", 14), "axis_label_size": ("axis_label_size", 16), "textbox_rel_pos": ("textbox_rel_pos", (0.5, -0.25)), "textbox_text_size": ("textbox_text_size", 12), "errorbar_capsize": ("errorbar_capsize", 4), "symbol_size": ("symbol_size", 6.0)}
  
  The default style for drawer. This must contain all required style parameters for drawer, as is defined in PlotStyle.default_style(). Subclasses can add extra required style parameters by overriding _default_style().

Figure options

The following can be set using set_figure_options().

Options

Defined in the class BaseDrawer:
- xlabel (Union[str, List[str]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  X-axis label string of the output figure. If there are multiple columns in the canvas, this could be a list of labels.
- ylabel (Union[str, List[str]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  Y-axis label string of the output figure. If there are multiple rows in the canvas, this could be a list of labels.
- xlim (Union[Tuple[float, float], List[Tuple[float, float]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  Min and max value of the horizontal axis. If not provided, it is automatically scaled based on the input data points. If there are multiple columns in the canvas, this could be a list of xlims.
- ylim (Union[Tuple[float, float], List[Tuple[float, float]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  Min and max value of the vertical axis. If not provided, it is automatically scaled based on the input data points. If there are multiple rows in the canvas, this could be a list of ylims.
- xval_unit (Union[str, List[str]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  Unit of x values. No scaling prefix is needed here as this is controlled by xval_unit_scale. If there are multiple columns in the canvas, this could be a list of xval_units.
- yval_unit (Union[str, List[str]])
  
  Default value: None
  
  Unit of y values. No scaling prefix is needed here as this is controlled by yval_unit_scale. If there are multiple rows in the canvas, this could be a list of yval_units.
- xval_unit_scale (Union[bool, List[bool]])
  
  Default value: True
  
  Whether to add an SI unit prefix to xval_unit if needed. For example, when the x values represent time and xval_unit="s", xval_unit_scale=True adds an SI unit prefix to "s" based on X values of plotted data. In the output figure, the prefix is automatically selected based on the maximum value in this axis. If your x values are in [1e-3, 1e-4], they are displayed as [1 ms, 10 ms]. By default, this option is set to True. If False is provided, the axis numbers will be displayed in the scientific notation. If there are multiple columns in the canvas, this could be a list of xval_unit_scale.
- yval_unit_scale (Union[bool, List[bool]])
  
  Default value: True
  
  Whether to add an SI unit prefix to yval_unit if needed. See xval_unit_scale for details. If there are multiple rows in the canvas, this could be a list of yval_unit_scale.
- xscale (str)
  
  Default value: None
  
  The scaling of the x-axis, such as log or linear.
- yscale (str)
  
  Default value: None
  
  The scaling of the y-axis, such as log or linear.
- figure_title (str)
  
  Default value: None
  
  Title of the figure. Defaults to None, i.e. nothing is shown.
- sharex (bool)
  
  Default value: True
  
  Set True to share x-axis ticks among sub-plots.
- sharey (bool)
  
  Default value: True
  
  Set True to share y-axis ticks among sub-plots.
- series_params (Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]])
  
  Default value: {}
  
  A dictionary of parameters for each series. This is keyed on the name for each series. Sub-dictionary is expected to have the following three configurations, “canvas”, “color”, “symbol” and “label”; “canvas” is the integer index of axis (when multi-canvas plot is set), “color” is the color of the drawn graphics, “symbol” is the series marker style for scatter plots, and “label” is a user provided series label that appears in the legend.
- custom_style (PlotStyle)
  
  Default value: {}
  
  The style definition to use when drawing. This overwrites style parameters in default_style in options. Defaults to an empty PlotStyle instance (i.e., PlotStyle()).

Initialization

figure¶

Return figure object handler to be saved in the database.

In the MatplotLib the Figure and Axes are different object. User can pass a part of the figure (i.e. multi-axes) to the drawer option axis. For example, a user wants to combine two different experiment results in the same figure, one can call pyplot.subplots with two rows and pass one of the generated two axes to each experiment drawer. Once all the experiments complete, the user will obtain the single figure collecting all experimental results.

Note that this method returns the entire figure object, rather than a single axis. Thus, the experiment data saved in the database might have a figure collecting all child axes drawings.

figure_options¶

Return the figure options.

These are typically updated by a plotter instance, and thus may change. It is recommended to set figure options in a parent BasePlotter instance that contains the BaseDrawer instance.

options¶: Return the drawer options.

style¶

The combined plot style for this drawer.

The returned style instance is a combination of options.default_style and figure_options.custom_style. Style parameters set in custom_style override those set in default_style. If custom_style is not an instance of PlotStyle, the returned style is equivalent to default_style.

Returns:: The plot style for this drawer.

Methods

config()¶

Return the config dictionary for this drawer.

Return type:: Dict

filled_x_area(x_ub, x_lb, y_data, name=None, label=None, legend=False, **options)[source]¶

Draw filled area as a function of y-values.

Parameters:

x_ub (Sequence[float]) – The upper boundary of X values.
x_lb (Sequence[float]) – The lower boundary of X values.
y_data (Sequence[float]) – Y values.
name (str | int | float | None) – Name of this series.
label (str | None) – Optional legend label to override name and series_params.
legend (bool) – Whether the drawn area must have a legend entry. Defaults to False. The series label in the legend will be label if it is not None. If it is, then series_params is searched for a "label" entry for the series identified by name. If this is also None, then name is used as the fallback. If no name is provided, then no legend entry is generated.
options – Valid options for the drawer backend API.

filled_y_area(x_data, y_ub, y_lb, name=None, label=None, legend=False, **options)[source]¶

Draw filled area as a function of x-values.

y_lb (Sequence[float]) – The lower boundary of Y values.
name (str | int | float | None) – Name of this series.
label (str | None) – Optional legend label to override name and series_params.
legend (bool) – Whether the drawn area must have a legend entry. Defaults to False. The series label in the legend will be label if it is not None. If it is, then series_params is searched for a "label" entry for the series identified by name. If this is also None, then name is used as the fallback. If no name is provided, then no legend entry is generated.
options – Valid options for the drawer backend API.

format_canvas()[source]¶: Final cleanup for the canvas appearance.

hline(y_value, name=None, label=None, legend=False, **options)[source]¶

Draw a horizontal line.

Parameters:

y_value (float) – Y value for line.
name (str | int | float | None) – Name of this series.
label (str | None) – Optional legend label to override name and series_params.
legend (bool) – Whether the drawn area must have a legend entry. Defaults to False. The series label in the legend will be label if it is not None. If it is, then series_params is searched for a "label" entry for the series identified by name. If this is also None, then name is used as the fallback. If no name is provided, then no legend entry is generated.
options – Valid options for the drawer backend API.

image(data, extent=None, name=None, label=None, cmap=None, cmap_use_series_colors=False, colorbar=False, **options)[source]¶

Draw an image of numerical values, series names, or RGB/A values.

Parameters:

data (ndarray) – The two-/three-dimensional data defining an image. If data.dims==2, then the pixel colors are determined by cmap and cmap_use_series_colors. If data.dims==3, then it is assumed that data contains either RGB or RGBA data; which requires the third dimension to have length 3 or 4 respectively. For RGB/A data, the elements of data must be floats or integers in the range 0-1 and 0-255 respectively. If the data is two-dimensional, there is no limit on the range of the values if they are numerical. If cmap_use_series_colors=True, then data contains series names; which can be strings or numerical values, as long as they are appropriate series names.
extent (Tuple[float, float, float, float] | None) – An optional tuple (x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max) which defines a rectangular region within which the values inside data should be plotted. The units of extent are the same as those of the X and Y axes for the axis. If None, the extent of the image is taken as (0, data.shape[0], 0, data.shape[1]). Default is None.
name (str | int | float | None) – Name of this image. Used to lookup canvas and label in series_params.
label (str | None) – An optional label for the colorbar, if colorbar=True.
cmap (str | Any | None) – Optional colormap for assigning colors to the image values, if data is not an RGB/A image. cmap must be a string or object instance which is recognized by the drawer. Defaults to None.
cmap_use_series_colors (bool) – Whether to assign colors to the image based on series colors, where the values inside data are series names. If cmap_use_series_colors=True,``cmap`` is ignored. This only works for two-dimensional images as three-dimensional data contains explicit colors as RGB/A values. If len(data.shape)=3, cmap_use_series_colours is ignored. Defaults to False.
colorbar (bool) – Whether to add a bar showing the color-value mapping for the image. Defaults to False.
options – Valid options for the drawer backend API.

initialize_canvas()[source]¶: Initialize the drawer canvas.

label_for(name, label)¶

Get the legend label for the given series, with optional overrides.

This method determines the legend label for a series, with optional overrides label and the "label" entry in the series_params option (see options). label is returned if it is not None, as this is the override with the highest priority. If it is None, then the drawer will look for a "label" entry in series_params, for the series identified by name. If this entry doesn’t exist, or is None, then name is used as the label. If all these options are None, then None is returned; signifying that a legend entry for the provided series should not be generated. Note that label_for() will convert name to str when it is returned.

Parameters:

name (str | int | float | None) – The name of the series.
label (str | int | float | None) – Optional label override.

Returns:

The legend entry label, or None.

Return type:

str | None

name (str | int | float | None) – Name of this series.
label (str | None) – Optional legend label to override name and series_params.
legend (bool) – Whether the drawn area must have a legend entry. Defaults to False. The series label in the legend will be label if it is not None. If it is, then series_params is searched for a "label" entry for the series identified by name. If this is also None, then name is used as the fallback. If no name is provided, then no legend entry is generated.
options – Valid options for the drawer backend API.

scatter(x_data, y_data, x_err=None, y_err=None, name=None, label=None, legend=False, **options)[source]¶
