Matplotlib2DViewer(vars[, title, limits, ...])

Displays a contour plot of a 2D CellVariable object.

class fipy.viewers.matplotlibViewer.matplotlib2DViewer.Matplotlib2DViewer(vars, title=None, limits={}, cmap=None, colorbar='vertical', axes=None, figaspect='auto', **kwlimits)¶

Bases: AbstractMatplotlib2DViewer

Displays a contour plot of a 2D CellVariable object.

The Matplotlib2DViewer plots a 2D CellVariable using Matplotlib.

>>> import fipy as fp
>>> mesh = (fp.Grid2D(nx=5, ny=10, dx=0.1, dy=0.1)
...         + (fp.Tri2D(nx=5, ny=5, dx=0.1, dy=0.1)
...          + ((0.5,), (0.2,))))
>>> x, y = mesh.cellCenters
>>> xyVar = fp.CellVariable(mesh=mesh, name="x y", value=x * y)
>>> k = fp.Variable(name="k", value=0.)
>>> viewer = Matplotlib2DViewer(vars=fp.numerix.sin(k * xyVar) * 1000 + 1002,
...                 ymin=0.1, ymax=0.9,
...                 # datamin=1.1, datamax=4.0,
...                 title="Matplotlib2DViewer test")
>>> from builtins import range
>>> for kval in range(10):
...     k.setValue(kval)
...     viewer.plot()
>>> viewer._promptForOpinion()

>>> viewer.cmap = "ocean"
>>> viewer.log = True

>>> viewer.title = "Matplotlib2DViewer changed"
>>> viewer.plot()
>>> viewer._promptForOpinion()

Creates a Matplotlib2DViewer.

Parameters:

vars (CellVariable) – the Variable to display.
title (str, optional) – displayed at the top of the Viewer window
limits (dict, optional) – a (deprecated) alternative to limit keyword arguments
cmap (Colormap, optional) – the Colormap. Defaults to matplotlib.cm.jet
xmin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
xmax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
ymin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
ymax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
datamin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
datamax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
colorbar (bool, optional) – plot a color bar in specified orientation if not None
axes (Axes, optional) – if not None, vars will be plotted into this Matplotlib Axes object
figaspect (float, optional) – desired aspect ratio of figure. If arg is a number, use that aspect ratio. If arg is auto, the aspect ratio will be determined from the Variable’s mesh.

property axes¶: The Matplotlib Axes.

property cmap¶: The Matplotlib Colormap.

property collection¶: The Matplotlib PolyCollection representing the cells.

property colorbar¶: The Matplotlib Colorbar.

property fig¶: The Matplotlib Figure.

property id¶: The Matplotlib Figure number.

property log¶: Whether data has logarithmic scaling (bool).

plot(filename=None)¶

Update the display of the viewed variables.

Parameters:: filename (str) – If not None, the name of a file to save the image into.

plotMesh(filename=None)¶

Display a representation of the mesh

Parameters:: filename (str) – If not None, the name of a file to save the image into.

setLimits(limits={}, **kwlimits)¶

Update the limits.

Parameters:

limits (dict, optional) – a (deprecated) alternative to limit keyword arguments
xmin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
xmax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
ymin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
ymax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
zmin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
zmax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
datamin (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.
datamax (float, optional) – displayed range of data. A 1D Viewer will only use xmin and xmax, a 2D viewer will also use ymin and ymax, and so on. All viewers will use datamin and datamax. Any limit set to a (default) value of None will autoscale.

property title¶

The text appearing at the top center.

(default: if len(self.vars) == 1, the name of the only Variable, otherwise "".)
