Examples

First Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: python
from bfmplot import pl
import bfmplot as bp
import numpy as np
def sin_test(n=8,text_position='start'):
# new figure in the golden ratio
pl.figure(figsize=bp.golden_ratio(5))
x = np.linspace(0,5*np.pi,100)
# plot several functions with different markers
for i in range(n):
pl.plot(x, 1-np.sin(x[::-1]/np.sqrt(i+1)), marker=bp.markers[i],mfc='w',label='$i=%d$'%i)
# remove right and top axis
bp.strip_axis(pl.gca())
# order legend items to align to the right
leg = pl.legend()
bp.align_legend_right(leg)
# draw an arrow
bp.arrow(pl.gca(), r'$i$', (6, 0.8), (3, 1.8), text_position=text_position)
pl.xlabel('this is the x-label')
pl.ylabel('this is the y-label')
pl.gcf().tight_layout()
sin_test(n=4,text_position='start')
pl.show()
