Method Details

addCurve(self, y=[0], x=None, fit=True, **kwds)

Adds a curve to the plot.

In case x is None, it is set to x = list(range(len(y)))

param y:The y values of the curve.
type y:list[float]
param x:The x values of the curve.
type x:list[float]
param fit:Determines if curve gets fitted inside the plot.
type fit:bool
returns:The newly added Curve object.
rtype:Curve
addEventHandler(self, tool)

Adds a custom event handler to define the method associated to an event.

If the action returns True, other event handlers for the same event will be blocked.

This is useful if you want to listen for a mouse release and get the plot value instead of the mouse x/y.

addXslider(self, x=0, **kwds)

Adds a movable vertical line to the plot.

param x:The value where the slider will start from on the x-axis.
type x:float
returns:The new added XSlider object.
rtype:XSlider
addYslider(self, y=0, **kwds)

Adds a movable horizontal line to the plot.

param y:The value where the slider will start from on the y-axis.
type y:float
returns:The new added YSlider object.
rtype:YSlider
clear(self)

Resets the title, x-y labels and footer and remove all curves, sliders and tools, from the plot.

ensureVisible(self, x=None, y=None, points=None)

Scales the axes so they contains the x, y and points.

param x:Specified x value.
type x:float
param y:Specified y value.
type y:float
param points:Points to make visible. Points can be a list of CurvePoints of set to ‘selected’.
type points:Union[list[CurvePoints], str]
returns:A reference to the instance XyPlot object on which it was called.
rtype:XyPlot
fit(self, zoom=None, larger=False)

Rescales the axes so all curves are visible.

param zoom:Padding scale factor around the curves.
type zoom:float
param larger:Determines if it will be fitted only in the case the computed scale exceeds the current.
type larger:bool
returns:A reference to the instance XyPlot object on which it was called.
rtype:XyPlot
formatNumber(self, value, format=None)

Formats the axis tick values using Inspire number formatting.

param value:The value to be formatted
type value:float
param format:The format to be followed.
type format:str
returns:formatted axis tick values.
rtype:str
getPointUnderMouse(self, event, curves=None, tolerance=None)

Gets a CurvePoint under the mouse if a point could be found or None.

param event:The event to get the mouse cursor location.
type event:MouseEvent
param curves:The curves to consider to get the point from. Defaults to None, considering all the curves in the plot.
type curves:list[Curve]
param tolerance:
 The tolerance value to set the pick radius. Defaults to None, considering line maker radius only.
type tolerance:float
returns:The CurvePoint under the mouse.
rtype:CurvePoint
getSelectedPoints(self)

Returns all the selected points from plot.

getTheClosestPoint(self, x, y)

Gets the CurvePoint closest to specified x, y for all visible curves.

param x:The x value.
type x:float
param y:The y value.
type y:float
returns:The closet CurvePoint to the specified x, y values.
rtype:CurvePoint
pan(self, dx, dy)

Translate the axes by the specified dx, dy.

param dx:Differential x value to pan the x-axis by.
type dx:float
param dy:Differential y value to pan the y-axis by.
type dy:float
returns:A reference to the instance XyPlot object on which it was called.
rtype:XyPlot
redrawPlot(self, obj=None, name=None)

Refreshes the plot in gui idle.

selectPoints(self, points)

Selects the specified points in the plot.

param points:The list of points to be selected.
type points:list[Point]
setCursor(self, cursor, iconStrip=False, x=-1, y=-1)

Sets the mouse cursor at specified x, y location inside the plot.

param cursor:Cursor file name
type cursor:str
param iconStrip:
 
type iconStrip:bool
param x:The x location in the plot, to set the cursor at.
type x:float
param y:The y location in the plot, to set the cursor at.
type y:float
setSnapping(self, on=True, xgrid=None, ygrid=None, snapPoints=None)

Snap mouse moves to points/lines as the user moves the mouse.

param on:Determines the state of snapping.
type on:bool
param xgrid:Determines whether it snaps to x-axis
type xgrid:bool
param ygrid:Determines whether it snaps to y-axis.
type ygrid:bool
param snapPoints:
 The points/lines to snap to.
type snapPoints:
 list[CurvePoints]
returns:A reference to the instance XyPlot object on which it was called.
rtype:XyPlot
zoom(self, factor=1.5, point=None, axis='both')

Rescales the axes by the specified factor at the specified point.

param factor:The zoom factor. if factor > 1 the plot is zoomed out. If factor < 1 the plot is zoomed in.
type factor:float
param point:Specified point to zoom into. Defaults to None, and the plot is scaled at the center.
type point:Point
param axis:The axis to be zoomed into. Defaults to “both”, valid choices are ‘x’ and ‘y’.
type axis:str
returns:A reference to the instance XyPlot object on which it was called.
rtype:XyPlot
