Matplotlib is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays. Matplotlib is a multi-platform data visualization library built on NumPy arrays and designed to work with the broader SciPy stack.
matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()
matplotlib.pyplot.gcf() is primarily used to get the current figure. If no current figure is available then one is created with the help of the figure() function.
Syntax:
matplotlib.pyplot.gcf()
Example 1:
Python3
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
plot.plot([ 2 , 3 , 4 ])
# implementation of the # matplotlib.pyplot.gcf() # function figure = plot.gcf().canvas
ag = figure.switch_backends(FigureCanvasAgg)
ag.draw() A = np.asarray(ag.buffer_rgba())
# Pass off to PIL. from PIL import Image
img = Image.fromarray(A)
# show image img.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
Python3
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.tri import Triangulation
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
import numpy as np
# helper function to update # the polygon def polygon_updater(tr):
if tr = = - 1 :
points = [ 0 , 0 , 0 ]
else :
points = tri.triangles[tr]
x_axis = tri.x[points]
y_axis = tri.y[points]
polygon.set_xy(np.column_stack([x_axis, y_axis]))
# helper function to set the motion # of polygon def motion_handler(e):
if e.inaxes is None :
tr = - 1
else :
tr = trifinder(e.xdata, e.ydata)
polygon_updater(tr)
e.canvas.draw()
# Making the Triangulation. all_angles = 16
all_radii = 5
minimum_radii = 0.25
radii = np.linspace(minimum_radii, 0.95 , all_radii)
triangulation_angles = np.linspace( 0 , 2 * np.pi,
all_angles,
endpoint = False )
triangulation_angles = np.repeat(triangulation_angles[...,
np.newaxis],
all_radii, axis = 1 )
triangulation_angles[:, 1 :: 2 ] + = np.pi / all_angles
a = (radii * np.cos(triangulation_angles)).flatten()
b = (radii * np.sin(triangulation_angles)).flatten()
tri = Triangulation(a, b)
tri.set_mask(np.hypot(a[tri.triangles].mean(axis = 1 ),
b[tri.triangles].mean(axis = 1 ))
< minimum_radii)
# Using TriFinder object from # Triangulation trifinder = tri.get_trifinder()
# Setting up the plot and the callbacks. plt.subplot( 111 , aspect = 'equal' )
plt.triplot(tri, 'g-' )
# dummy data for (x-axis, y-axis)
polygon = Polygon([[ 0 , 0 ], [ 0 , 0 ]],
facecolor = 'b' )
polygon_updater( - 1 )
plt.gca().add_patch(polygon) # implementation of the matplotlib.pyplot.gcf() function plt.gcf().canvas.mpl_connect( 'motion_notification' ,
motion_handler)
plt.show() |
