I want to correlate geometry of surfaces with the target variable. In tutorials on scikit learn or tensorflow and so on some routine features are evaluated. For example relation between price of house in Boston with some other features like numbers of rooms, neighborhood and so on.
In my work I have some coordinates in 3D space (x, y and z) representing surfaces. Then, I want to find out how the arrangement of this points can affect the target variable. I very much appreciate if anyone can propose me maybe especial types of ML methods in python that can do so. I have uploaded a view on two simple surfaces created. Then, I want to correlate depth (z values) of surfaces with an arbitrary target. For each surface I may have hundreds of points i.e. z values.
Follwong code makes the fig:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
from matplotlib.ticker import (AutoMinorLocator, MultipleLocator)
%matplotlib qt5
x_s_up = np.array([[1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2]])
y_s_up = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
z_s_up = np.array([[5, 5, 5], [5.1, 5.2, 5.1]])
x_s_d = np.array([[1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2]])
y_s_d = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
z_s_d = np.array([[3.9, 4., 3.8], [4.1, 4.1, 4.2]])
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot (111, projection="3d")
ax.plot_surface(x_s_up, y_s_up, z_s_up, color='b') # upper surface
ax.plot_surface(x_s_d, y_s_d, z_s_d, color='r') # lower surface
ax.set_xlabel('X'); ax.set_ylabel('Y'); ax.set_zlabel('Z')
I have 6 points in the (x,y) plane: x=[x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6] and y=[y1,y2,y3,y4,y5,y6]
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [0, 2, 4, 0, 2, 4, 0, 2, 4]
y = [0, 0, 0, 3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7]
plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.show()
I want to between the points, draw entirely parallel lines on each axis x,y(like photo). and how to hide x and y axis on diagram. I want to draw a 2D view of the beams and columns of 3 story building; does matplotlib bring me to my goal or should I go to other libraries?
Absolutely matplotlib can do this. Take a look at their Rectangle Patch:
Example usage (you'll have to modify this to your needs):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot()
rect = patches.Rectangle(
(0.1, 0.1),
0.5,
0.5,
fill=False
)
ax.add_patch(rect)
fig.show()
Does anybody have a suggestion on what's the best way to present overlapping lines on a plot? I have a lot of them, and I had the idea of having full lines of different colors where they don't overlap, and having dashed lines where they do overlap so that all colors are visible and overlapping colors are seen.
But still, how do I that.
I have the same issue on a plot with a high degree of discretization.
Here the starting situation:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
grid=[x for x in range(10)]
graphs=[
[1,1,1,4,4,4,3,5,6,0],
[1,1,1,5,5,5,3,5,6,0],
[1,1,1,0,0,3,3,2,4,0],
[1,2,4,4,3,2,3,2,4,0],
[1,2,3,3,4,4,3,2,6,0],
[1,1,3,3,0,3,3,5,4,3],
]
for gg,graph in enumerate(graphs):
plt.plot(grid,graph,label='g'+str(gg))
plt.legend(loc=3,bbox_to_anchor=(1,0))
plt.show()
No one can say where the green and blue lines run exactly
and my "solution"
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
grid=[x for x in range(10)]
graphs=[
[1,1,1,4,4,4,3,5,6,0],
[1,1,1,5,5,5,3,5,6,0],
[1,1,1,0,0,3,3,2,4,0],
[1,2,4,4,3,2,3,2,4,0],
[1,2,3,3,4,4,3,2,6,0],
[1,1,3,3,0,3,3,5,4,3],
]
for gg,graph in enumerate(graphs):
lw=10-8*gg/len(graphs)
ls=['-','--','-.',':'][gg%4]
plt.plot(grid,graph,label='g'+str(gg), linestyle=ls, linewidth=lw)
plt.legend(loc=3,bbox_to_anchor=(1,0))
plt.show()
I am grateful for suggestions on improvement!
Just decrease the opacity of the lines so that they are see-through. You can achieve that using the alpha variable. Example:
plt.plot(x, y, alpha=0.7)
Where alpha ranging from 0-1, with 0 being invisible.
imagine your panda data frame is called respone_times, then you can use alpha to set different opacity for your graphs. Check the picture before and after using alpha.
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 7))
plt.plot(respone_times,alpha=0.5)
plt.title('a sample title')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
Depending on your data and use case, it might be OK to add a bit of random jitter to artificially separate the lines.
from numpy.random import default_rng
import pandas as pd
rng = default_rng()
def jitter_df(df: pd.DataFrame, std_ratio: float) -> pd.DataFrame:
"""
Add jitter to a DataFrame.
Adds normal distributed jitter with mean 0 to each of the
DataFrame's columns. The jitter's std is the column's std times
`std_ratio`.
Returns the jittered DataFrame.
"""
std = df.std().values * std_ratio
jitter = pd.DataFrame(
std * rng.standard_normal(df.shape),
index=df.index,
columns=df.columns,
)
return df + jitter
Here's a plot of the original data from Markus Dutschke's example:
And here's the jittered version, with std_ratio set to 0.1:
Replacing solid lines by dots or dashes works too
g = sns.FacetGrid(data, col='config', row='outputs', sharex=False)
g.map_dataframe(sns.lineplot, x='lag',y='correlation',hue='card', linestyle='dotted')
Instead of random jitter, the lines can be offset just a little bit, creating a layered appearance:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.transforms import offset_copy
grid = list(range(10))
graphs = [[1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 3, 5, 6, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 6, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 3, 3, 2, 4, 0],
[1, 2, 4, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 0],
[1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 6, 0],
[1, 1, 3, 3, 0, 3, 3, 5, 4, 3]]
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
lw = 1
for gg, graph in enumerate(graphs):
trans_offset = offset_copy(ax.transData, fig=fig, x=lw * gg, y=lw * gg, units='dots')
ax.plot(grid, graph, lw=lw, transform=trans_offset, label='g' + str(gg))
ax.legend(loc='upper left', bbox_to_anchor=(1.01, 1.01))
# manually set the axes limits, because the transform doesn't set them automatically
ax.set_xlim(grid[0] - .5, grid[-1] + .5)
ax.set_ylim(min([min(g) for g in graphs]) - .5, max([max(g) for g in graphs]) + .5)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
I am displaying information with two y-axes and a common x-axis using the following script.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA
#creating a host plot with x and y axis
hostplot = host_subplot(111, axes_class=AA.Axes)
#creating a second y axis
extra_y_axis = hostplot.twinx()
extra_y_axis.set_navigate_mode(True)
extra_y_axis.set_navigate(True)
print extra_y_axis.can_zoom() #prints true on output
hostplot.set_xlabel("host_x")
hostplot.set_ylabel("host_y")
extra_y_axis.set_ylabel("extra_y")
hostplot.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2])
extra_y_axis.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 3, 2])
plt.draw()
plt.show()
After this I used the 'Zoom to Rectangle' tool from the tray in the bottom-left as shown below:
.
And I got the following output:
.
Please notice the y-axis scales in both the images. While the zoom functionality is working correctly for the host plot, I am unable to get the extra_y_axis to rescale and it just maintains a constant scale throughout (so I can't really zoom in on plots using the second axis).
How can I make it so that all the axes are rescaled on zooming in a small portion?
Thanks
I've traced down your problem to the sue of the axes_grid1 toolkit. If you don't require the use of this toolkit you can easily fix your issue by initialising your figure in the usual manner:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#creating a host plot with x and y axis
fig, hostplot = plt.subplots()
#creating a second y axis
extra_y_axis = hostplot.twinx()
hostplot.set_xlabel("host_x")
hostplot.set_ylabel("host_y")
extra_y_axis.set_ylabel("extra_y")
hostplot.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2])
extra_y_axis.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 3, 2])
plt.show()
If you do want to use the toolkit then you have to add a couple of lines to get the two y axes to scale and transform together:
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes import SubplotHost
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = SubplotHost(fig, 1, 1, 1)
#set the scale difference between the two y axes
aux_trans = mtransforms.Affine2D().scale(sx = 1.,sy= 1.5)
ax2 = ax1.twin(aux_trans)
fig.add_subplot(ax1)
ax1.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2])
ax2.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 3, 2])
ax1.set_ylim(0,3)
plt.show()
So, I thought this was going to be really simple, but I've been having a lot of difficult finding exactly what I'm looking for in a comprehensible example.
Basically I want to make phase plots, so assuming I have a 2d array, how can I get matplotlib to convert this to a plot that I can attach titles, axes, and legends (color bars) to.
I'm looking for an extremely simple bare bones solution that only uses what is required that will work with any 2D array.
I'm certain this is simple and I'm just being thick somehow, but I'm really having a lot of trouble with this.
I have been tooling with the examples, but they don't seem well suited to what I'm trying to do: I like the general appearance of this graph, I'd just like to be able to pass in a 2dArray and have this same result:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as ml
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
H = [[1,2,3,4][5,6,7,8][9,10,11,12][13,14,15,16]]
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6, 3.2))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_title('colorMap')
X,Y = np.meshgrid(xedges, yedges)
plt.pcolormesh(X, Y, H)
ax.set_aspect('equal')
cax = fig.add_axes([0.12, 0.1, 0.78, 0.8])
cax.get_xaxis().set_visible(False)
cax.get_yaxis().set_visible(False)
cax.patch.set_alpha(0)
cax.set_frame_on(False)
plt.colorbar(orientation='vertical')
plt.show()
I'm afraid your posted example is not working, since X and Y aren't defined. So instead of pcolormesh let's use imshow:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
H = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4],
[5, 6, 7, 8],
[9, 10, 11, 12],
[13, 14, 15, 16]]) # added some commas and array creation code
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6, 3.2))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_title('colorMap')
plt.imshow(H)
ax.set_aspect('equal')
cax = fig.add_axes([0.12, 0.1, 0.78, 0.8])
cax.get_xaxis().set_visible(False)
cax.get_yaxis().set_visible(False)
cax.patch.set_alpha(0)
cax.set_frame_on(False)
plt.colorbar(orientation='vertical')
plt.show()
Here is the simplest example that has the key lines of code:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
H = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4],
[5, 6, 7, 8],
[9, 10, 11, 12],
[13, 14, 15, 16]])
plt.imshow(H, interpolation='none')
plt.show()
