Chart2D

class Chart2D(*args, **kwargs)

2D chart class similar to a matplotlib figure.

Parameters:

sizesequence[float], default: (1, 1)

Size of the chart in normalized coordinates. A size of (0, 0) is invisible, a size of (1, 1) occupies the whole renderer’s width and height.

locsequence[float], default: (0, 0)

Location of the chart (its bottom left corner) in normalized coordinates. A location of (0, 0) corresponds to the renderer’s bottom left corner, a location of (1, 1) corresponds to the renderer’s top right corner.

x_labelstr, default: “x”

Label along the x-axis.

y_labelstr, default: “y”

Label along the y-axis.

gridbool, default: True

Show the background grid in the plot.

Examples

Download Python source code | Download Jupyter notebook

Plot a simple sine wave as a scatter and line plot.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 20)
>>> y = np.sin(x)
>>> chart = pv.Chart2D()
>>> _ = chart.scatter(x, y)
>>> _ = chart.line(x, y, color='r')
>>> chart.show()

Combine multiple types of plots in the same chart.

>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(1)
>>> x = np.arange(1, 8)
>>> y = rng.integers(5, 15, 7)
>>> e = np.abs(rng.normal(scale=2, size=7))
>>> z = rng.integers(0, 5, 7)
>>> chart = pv.Chart2D()
>>> _ = chart.area(x, y - e, y + e, color=(0.12, 0.46, 0.71, 0.2))
>>> _ = chart.line(x, y, color='tab:blue', style='--', label='Scores')
>>> _ = chart.scatter(x, y, color='tab:blue', style='d')
>>> _ = chart.bar(x, z, color='tab:orange', label='Violations')
>>> chart.x_axis.tick_locations = x
>>> chart.x_axis.tick_labels = [
...     'Mon',
...     'Tue',
...     'Wed',
...     'Thu',
...     'Fri',
...     'Sat',
...     'Sun',
... ]
>>> chart.x_label = 'Day of week'
>>> chart.show()
