一个简单的样例：

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 4, 9, 16])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')
plt.show()

执行结果为：



我仅仅指定了一组list參数。从图中能够看书，这组參数自己主动分配为了纵坐标。为什么会这样呢？

你可能想知道为什么X轴的范围是0-3。假设你提供一个单一的列表或数组的plot()命令，matplotlib假定这是一个序列的y值，并自己主动生成X值。

由于Python范围从0開始，默认x向量从0開始并以1为步长自己主动得到X坐标。

因此X的数据为[ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]。

plot()是一种通用的命令，并将採取随意数量的參数。默认X和Y的參数为list（实际上内部都是转化为数组numpy）。而且长度同样，否则报错。

For every x, y pair of arguments, there is an optional third argument which is the format string
that indicates the color and line type of the plot. The letters and symbols of the format string are from MATLAB, and you concatenate a color string with a line style string. The default format string is ‘b-‘, which is a solid blue line. For example, to plot
the above with red circles, you would issue

对于每个X，Y參数对，有一个可选的第三个參数是表示颜色的和线型的格式字符串。

格式字符串的字母和符号来源于MATLAB。你能够制定颜色和线型。

默认的格式字符串为“b-”，这是一个蓝线实线。

如上图所看到的。

plot() 文档有完整的格式化字符串參数说明。axis() 命令指定坐标范围[xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]。

样例：

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# evenly sampled time at 200ms intervals
t = np.arange(0., 5., 0.2)
# red dashes, blue squares and green triangles
plt.plot(t, t, 'r--', t, t**2, 'bs', t, t**3, 'g^')
plt.show()

结果为：

Controlling line properties

Lines have many attributes that you can set: linewidth线宽, dash style, antialiased抗锯齿, etc;
see matplotlib.lines.Line2D.
There are several ways to set line properties
1、利用keyword：

plt.plot(x, y, linewidth=2.0)

2、利用setter方法

line1, line2 = plot(x1,y1,x2,y2)
line.set_antialiased(False) # turn off antialising

3、使用 setp() 命令

lines = plt.plot(x1, y1, x2, y2)
# use keyword args
plt.setp(lines, color='r', linewidth=2.0)
# or MATLAB style string value pairs
plt.setp(lines, 'color', 'r', 'linewidth', 2.0)

Here
are the available Line2D properties.



4、To get a list of settable line properties, call the setp() function
with a line or lines as argument
比如：

lines = plt.plot([1,2,3])

plt.setp(lines)
alpha: float
animated: [True | False]
antialiased or aa: [True | False]
...snip

以上为调用setp()第二种方法。

Working with multiple figures and axes

MATLAB, and pyplot,
have the concept of the current figure and the current axes. All plotting commands apply to the current axes. The function gca() returns
the current axes (amatplotlib.axes.Axes instance),
and gcf() returns
the current figure (matplotlib.figure.Figure instance).
Normally, you don’t have to worry about this, because it is all taken care of behind the scenes. Below is a script to create two subplots.

MATLAB和pyplot，有当前图和当前轴的概念。全部的画图命令适用于当前轴。

gca()方法返回当前轴（一个matplotlib.axes.axes实例）。和gcf()方法返回当前图形（matplotlib.figure.figure实例）。通常，你不用操心这个，由于它是幕后自己主动管理的。以下是一个脚本来创建两个图。

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def f(t):
return np.exp(-t) * np.cos(2*np.pi*t)

t1 = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.1)
t2 = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.02)

plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(211)
plt.plot(t1, f(t1), 'bo', t2, f(t2), 'k')

plt.subplot(212)
plt.plot(t2, np.cos(2*np.pi*t2), 'r--')
plt.show()

结果为：



The figure() command
here is optional because figure(1) will
be created by default, just as a subplot(111) will
be created by default if you don’t manually specify an axes. Thesubplot() command
specifies numrows, numcols, fignum where fignum ranges
from 1 to numrows*numcols.
The commas in the subplot command
are optional if numrows*numcols<10.
Sosubplot(211) is
identical to subplot(2,1,1).
You can create an arbitrary number of subplots and axes. If you want to place an axes manually, ie, not on a rectangular grid, use theaxes() command,
which allows you to specify the location as axes([left, bottom, width, height]) where
all values are in fractional (0 to 1) coordinates. See pylab_examples
example code: axes_demo.py for an example of placing axes manually and pylab_examples
example code: line_styles.py for an example with lots-o-subplots.

You can create multiple figures by using multiple figure() calls
with an increasing figure number. Of course, each figure can contain as many axes and subplots as your heart desires:

这里的figure()指令是可选的由于figure(1)默认会被创建，就像subplot(111)将默认创建当你不手动指定axes的情况下。该subplot()命令指定numrows，numcols，fignum范围从1到numrows
* numcols【即211为2行1列第1幅图。和MATLAB同样】。

假设numrows * numcols＜10，subplot()命令中的逗号是可选的。您能够创建随意数量的subplots和axes。假设你想手动设置一个axes，能够使用axes()命令，它同意你指定的位置为axes([left, bottom, width, height])。全部的值都是分数（0～1）坐标。

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(1)                # the first figure
plt.subplot(211)             # the first subplot in the first figure
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.subplot(212)             # the second subplot in the first figure
plt.plot([4,5,6])

plt.figure(2)                # a second figure
plt.plot([4,5,6])            # creates a subplot(111) by default

plt.figure(1)                # figure 1 current; subplot(212) still current
plt.subplot(211)             # make subplot(211) in figure1 current
plt.title('Easy as 1,2,3')   # subplot 211 title
plt.show()

You can clear the current figure with clf() and
the current axes with cla().
If you find this statefulness, annoying, don’t despair, this is just a thin stateful wrapper around an object oriented API, which you can use instead (see Artist
tutorial)

If you are making a long sequence of figures, you need to be aware of one more thing: the memory required for a figure is not completely released until the figure is explicitly closed with close().
Deleting all references to the figure, and/or using the window manager to kill the window in which the figure appears on the screen, is not enough, because pyplot maintains internal references until close() is
called.

Working with text

The text() command
can be used to add text in an arbitrary location, and the xlabel(), ylabel() and title() are
used to add text in the indicated locations (see Text
introduction for a more detailed example)

加入标签！怎么加入中文标签？！

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mu, sigma = 100, 15
x = mu + sigma * np.random.randn(10000)

# the histogram of the data
n, bins, patches = plt.hist(x, 50, normed=1, facecolor='g', alpha=0.75)

plt.xlabel('Smarts')
plt.ylabel(u'概率', fontproperties='SimHei')
plt.title(u'IQ直方图', fontproperties='SimHei')
plt.text(60, .025, r'$\mu=100,\ \sigma=15$')
plt.axis([40, 160, 0, 0.03])
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

结果例如以下所看到的：



All of the text() commands
return an matplotlib.text.Text instance.
Just as with with lines above, you can customize the properties by passing keyword arguments into the text functions or using setp():

t = plt.xlabel('my data', fontsize=14, color='red')

These properties are covered in more detail in Text properties and layout.

Using mathematical expressions in text

在文本中使用的数学表达式。matplotlib accepts TeX equation
expressions in any text expression. For example to write the expression

in
the title, you can write a TeX expression surrounded by dollar signs:

plt.title(r'$\sigma_i=15$')

The r preceding
the title string is important – it signifies that the string is a raw string and not to treat backslashes and python escapes. matplotlib has a built-in TeX expression parser and layout engine, and ships its own math fonts – for details see Writing
mathematical expressions. Thus you can use mathematical text across platforms without requiring a TeX installation. For those who have LaTeX and dvipng installed, you can also use LaTeX to format your text and incorporate the output directly into
your display figures or saved postscript – see Text rendering With LaTeX.

Annotating text

The uses of the basic text() command
above place text at an arbitrary position on the Axes. A common use case of text is to annotate some feature of the plot, and the annotate()method
provides helper functionality to make annotations easy. In an annotation, there are two points to consider: the location being annotated represented by the argument xy and
the location of the text xytext.
Both of these arguments are (x,y) tuples.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax = plt.subplot(111)

t = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.01)
s = np.cos(2*np.pi*t)
line, = plt.plot(t, s, lw=2)

plt.annotate('local max', xy=(2, 1), xytext=(3, 1.5),
arrowprops=dict(facecolor='black', shrink=0.05),
)

plt.ylim(-2,2)
plt.show()

结果为：



In
this basic example, both the xy (arrow
tip) and xytext locations
(text location) are in data coordinates. There are a variety of other coordinate systems one can choose – seeAnnotating
text and Annotating
Axes for details. More examples can be found in pylab_examples
example code: annotation_demo.py.
