Chart2D.plot

Chart2D.plot(x, y=None, fmt='-')

Matplotlib like plot method.

Parameters:

xarray_like

Values to plot on the X-axis. In case y is None, these are the values to plot on the Y-axis instead.

yarray_like, optional

Values to plot on the Y-axis.

fmtstr, default: “-”

A format string, e.g. 'ro' for red circles. See the Notes section for a full description of the format strings.

Returns:

scatter_plotplotting.charts.ScatterPlot2D, optional

The created scatter plot when a valid marker style was present in the format string, None otherwise.

line_plotplotting.charts.LinePlot2D, optional

The created line plot when a valid line style was present in the format string, None otherwise.

>>> _, line_plot = chart.plot(range(10), range(10))

>>> chart.show()

Generate a line and scatter plot.

>>> chart = pv.Chart2D()
>>> scatter_plot, line_plot = chart.plot(range(10), fmt='o-')

>>> chart.show()
