Hello Friends. Welcome to the spoken tutorial on "Multiple plots".
Show Slide

Objectives


At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to,
  1. Draw multiple plots which are overlaid.
  2. Use the figure command.
  3. Use the legend command.
  4. Switch between the plots and perform some operations on each of them like saving the plots.
Show Slide

System Requirements

To record this tutorial, I am using
  • Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system
  • Python 3.4.3
  • IPython 5.1.0
Show Slide

Pre-requisites

To practise this tutorial, you should know how to
  • use Plots interactively
  • Embellish a plot
  • Save plots

If not, see the pre-requisite Python tutorials on this website.

[Terminal]

ipython3


Let us first open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously.


Now, type ipython3 and press Enter.

[IPython console]

%pylab and press Enter.

Let us initialise the pylab package.


Type percentage pylab and press Enter.

[IPython Terminal]

x = linspace(0, 50, 10)


Let us create set of points for our plot by using command linspace


Type x equals to linspace inside the brackets 0 comma 50 comma 10

[IPython Terminal]

plot(x, sin(x))

Now let us draw a simple sine curve using these points.


Type plot inside the brackets x comma sin(x)

[Plot Window] As we can see, this sine curve is not a smooth curve. What really caused this?
Pause for a while


This happened because we selected few points that is 10 for a large interval of 0 to 50.


Plot function does not plot the analytical function.

It plots the points given by the analytical function.

[IPython Terminal]


y = linspace(0, 50, 500)

plot(y, sin(y))


Now, let us use linspace command to get 500 points between 0 and 50 and draw the sine curve again.


Type

y equals to linspace inside the brackets 0 comma 50 comma 500.

plot inside the brackets y comma sin(y)

[Plot Window] Now we see a sine curve with a smooth curve.


Notice we also have two plots one overlaid upon another.


In pylab, by default all the plots are overlaid.

[IPython Terminal]


legend(['sin(x)', 'sin(y)'])

To distinguish between two overlaid plots we use legend command.

Type legend inside the brackets square brackets sin(x) comma sin(y).


The legend command takes parameter as a list of strings.


Then it assigns strings to plots in the order they were created.

[Plot Window]


Now we can see the legends being displayed for the two sine curves on the plot area.
[IPython Terminal]


In the IPython terminal now type clf() to clear the plot window.

Exercise 1

Draw two plots for the given form

  1. First plot is a parabola of the form y = 4(x ^ 2)
  2. Second plot is a straight line of the form y = 2x + 3 in the interval -5 to 5.
  3. Use legends to indicate each plot.


Pause the video. Try this exercise and then resume the video.


Draw two plots first plot being a parabola of the form y equals to 4x square

and

the second being a straight line of the form y equals to 2x plus 3 in the interval minus 5 to 5.

Use legends to indicate what each plot is doing.

[IPython Terminal]

x = linspace(-5, 5, 100)

plot(x, 4 * (x * x))

plot(x, (2 * x) + 3)

Switch to the terminal for solution.

Type x equals to linspace inside the brackets minus 5 comma 5 comma 100


We can obtain the two plots in different colours using the following commands.

Type

plot inside the brackets x comma 4 multiplied by inside the brackets x multiplied by x.

plot inside the brackets x comma (2 multiplied by x) plus 3

[IPython Terminal]

legend([r'$y = 4(x ^ 2)$', r'$y = 2x + 3$'])

Now, we will add a legend to identify the plots.

Type legend inside the brackets inside square brackets r inside inverted commas dollar y equals to 4 x square dollar comma r inside inverted commas dollar y equals to 2x plus 3 dollar.

[Plot Window] We can see the legend added to the plot.

[IPython Terminal]

clf()


Next we will learn to switch between the plots and perform operations such as saving the plots etc.


Let us see how to accomplish this.


But before we move on, let us clear our screen.

Type clf()

[IPython Terminal]

x = linspace(0, 50, 500)

Switch to terminal

Type x equals to linspace inside the brackets 0 comma 50 comma 500

[IPython Terminal]

figure(1)

plot(x, sin(x), 'b')

figure(2)

plot(x, cos(x), 'g')

To accomplish more control over individual plots we use the figure command

Type

figure(1)

plot inside the brackets x comma sin(x) comma inside inverted commas b


figure(2)

plot inside the brackets x comma cos(x) comma inside inverted commas g

[Plot Window]


Now we have two plots, a sine curve and a cosine curve in two different figures.
[Ipython Terminal]


The figure command takes an integer as an argument.


This is the serial number of the plot to select corresponding plot.


All the plot commands we run hereafter are applied to the selected plot.


In this example, figure 1 is the sine plot and figure 2 is the cosine plot.

[IPython Terminal]

title('cos(x)')

savefig('cosine.png')

figure(1)

title('sin(x)')

savefig('sine.png')

For example, we can save each plot separately.


Type

title inside brackets inside inverted commas cos(x)

savefig inside brackets inside inverted commas cosine.png


figure(1)

title inside brackets inside inverted commas sin(x)

savefig inside brackets inside inverted commas sine.png


The figures will be saved in current working directory.

Now close both the plot windows.

Exercise2

Pause the video.Try this exercise and then resume the video.


Draw a line of the form y equals to x as one figure and another line of the form y equals to 2x plus 3.

Save each of them.

[IPython Terminal]

figure(1)

x = linspace(-5, 5, 100)

plot(x, x)

Switch to the terminal for solution.

To solve this problem we will use the figure command to create first plotting area

Type

figure(1)

x equals to linspace inside the brackets minus 5 comma 5 comma 100

plot inside the brackets x comma x

[IPython Terminal]

figure(2)

plot(x, ((2 * x) + 3))

Now use the figure command to create second plotting area and plot the figure

Type

figure(2)

plot inside the brackets x comma 2x plus 3

[IPython Terminal]


figure(1)

savefig('plot1.png')

figure(2)

savefig('plot2.png')

We will save the figure as follows.


Type

figure(1)

savefig inside brackets inside inverted commas plot1.png

figure(2)

savefig inside brackets inside inverted commas plot2.png

Summary slide


This brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial, we have learnt to,
  1. Draw multiple plots which are overlaid.
  2. Use the figure command.
  3. Use the legend command.
  4. Switch between the plots and perform some operations on each of them like saving the plots.

Evaluation


Here are some self assessment questions for you to solve
  1. What command is used to get individual plots separately?
  2. What will be the command to identify sine and cosine curve?
Show Slide

Solutions


And the answers,
  1. The command "figure()" can get us the individual plots separately.
  2. legend inside brackets inside square brackets inside inverted commas sin(x) comma inside inverted commas cos(x)
