Click Menus ¶

Scripting ¶

Click the generate a script button on a 1D Plot:

# import mantid algorithms, numpy and matplotlib
from mantid.simpleapi import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

from mantid.api import AnalysisDataService as ADS

MAR11060 = ADS.retrieve('MAR11060') #May replace with Load('MAR11060')

fig, axes = plt.subplots(edgecolor='#ffffff', num='MAR11060-1', subplot_kw={'projection': 'mantid'})
axes.plot(MAR11060, color='#1f77b4', label='MAR11060: spec 1', specNum=1)
axes.plot(MAR11060, color='#ff7f0e', label='MAR11060: spec 2', specNum=2)
axes.plot(MAR11060, color='#2ca02c', label='MAR11060: spec 3', specNum=3)
axes.set_title('MAR11060')
axes.set_xlabel('Time-of-flight ($\mu s$)')
axes.set_ylabel('Counts ($\mu s$)$^{-1}$')
axes.legend().draggable()

plt.show()

Tiled Plots ¶

Plot Toolbar ¶

Click Menus ¶

ptions Menu¶

Tiled plots are essentially an array of axes (1D plots) on the same figure. As such, when editing them in the Options Menu, you should take care to select the correct set of axes:

TIP: Change a Legend entry by editing Set curve label on the Curves tab.
Then on the Legend tab there are Color and Font options.

Scripting ¶

An example script for a Tiled Plot:

# import mantid algorithms, numpy and matplotlib
from mantid.simpleapi import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

from mantid.api import AnalysisDataService as ADS

MAR11060 = ADS.retrieve('MAR11060') #May replace with Load('MAR11060')

fig, axes = plt.subplots(edgecolor='#ffffff', ncols=2, nrows=2, num='MAR11060-1', subplot_kw={'projection': 'mantid'})
axes[0][0].plot(MAR11060, color='#1f77b4', label='MAR11060: spec 1', specNum=1)
axes[0][0].set_xlabel('Time-of-flight ($\mu s$)')
axes[0][0].set_ylabel('Counts ($\mu s$)$^{-1}$')
axes[0][0].legend().draggable()

axes[0][1].plot(MAR11060, color='#1f77b4', label='MAR11060: spec 2', specNum=2)
axes[0][1].set_xlabel('Time-of-flight ($\mu s$)')
axes[0][1].set_ylabel('Counts ($\mu s$)$^{-1}$')
axes[0][1].legend().draggable()

axes[1][0].plot(MAR11060, color='#1f77b4', label='MAR11060: spec 3', specNum=3)
axes[1][0].set_xlabel('Time-of-flight ($\mu s$)')
axes[1][0].set_ylabel('Counts ($\mu s$)$^{-1}$')
axes[1][0].legend().draggable()

axes[1][1].plot(MAR11060, color='#1f77b4', label='MAR11060: spec 4', specNum=4)
axes[1][1].set_xlabel('Time-of-flight ($\mu s$)')
axes[1][1].set_ylabel('Counts ($\mu s$)$^{-1}$')
axes[1][1].legend().draggable()

plt.show()
