Plotting TRIQS objects
|
|
################################
|
|
|
|
TRIQS objects can be easily plotted, for example with the standard python plot toolkit `matplotlib
|
|
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/>`_.
|
|
In fact, TRIQS introduces a simple :ref:`plot protocol <plot_protocol>`, which allows to plot
|
|
objects which have a graphical representation.
|
|
|
|
A thin layer above matplotlib
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
TRIQS defines a function *oplot*, similar to the standard matplotlib pyplot.plot function,
|
|
but that can plot TRIQS objects (in fact *any* object, see below).
|
|
|
|
We can reproduce the first example of the Green function tutorial :
|
|
|
|
.. plot:: reference/python/green/example.py
|
|
:include-source:
|
|
:scale: 70
|
|
|
|
The *oplot* function takes :
|
|
|
|
* as arguments any object that implements the :ref:`plot protocol <plot_protocol>`,
|
|
for example Green function, Density of state : in fact any object where plotting is reasonable and has been defined ...
|
|
|
|
* string formats following objects, as in regular matplotlib, like in the example above.
|
|
|
|
* regular options of the matplotlib *pyplot.plot* function
|
|
|
|
* options specific to the object to be plotted : here the `x_window` tells the Green function to plot itself in a reduced window of :math:`\omega_n`.
|
|
|
|
Multiple panels figures
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
`Only valid for matplotlib v>=1.0`.
|
|
|
|
While one can use the regular matplotlib subfigure to make multi-panel figures,
|
|
subplots makes it a bit more pythonic :
|
|
|
|
.. plot:: reference/python/data_analysis/plotting/example.py
|
|
:include-source:
|
|
:scale: 70
|
|
|
|
.. index:: plotting protocol
|
|
|
|
.. _plot_protocol:
|
|
|
|
Plot protocol [Advanced]
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
What do we need to implement to plot an object ?
|
|
Simply a little `_plot_` method that reduces the object to a set of curves.
|
|
This section describes the conventions on this function.
|
|
|
|
As soon as an object defines this method, it can be plotted by the `oplot` function of `pytriqs.plot.mpl_interface`.
|
|
See example below.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: _plot_( OptionsDict )
|
|
|
|
* OptionDict is a dictionnary of options.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
* The method _plot_ must consume the options it uses (using e.g. the pop method of dict).
|
|
* Other options will be passed to matplotlib, so leaving spurious options here will lead to errors.
|
|
|
|
:rtype: a list of dict representing one curve each. These dict must have the following fields:
|
|
|
|
* *xdata* : A 1-dimensional numpy array describing the x-axis points
|
|
* *ydata* : A 1-dimensional numpy array describing the y-axis points
|
|
* *label* : Label of the curve for the legend of the graph
|
|
* *type* : a string : currently "XY" [ optional]
|
|
|
|
and optionally :
|
|
|
|
* *xlabel* : a label for the x axis. The last object plotted will overrule the previous ones.
|
|
* *ylabel* : a label for the y axis. The last object plotted will overrule the previous ones.
|
|

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Here's a simple example to illustrate the protocol:
|
|
|
|
.. plot:: reference/python/data_analysis/plotting/myobject.py
|
|
:include-source:
|
|
:scale: 70
|
|
|
|
Example with options
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
A little bit more complex, with options.
|
|
Note the use of the `pop method of dict <http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#dict>`_,
|
|
which returns and removes the entry from the dict (with a default value).
|
|
|
|
.. plot:: reference/python/data_analysis/plotting/myobject2.py
|
|
:include-source:
|
|
:scale: 70
|
