Show 2 plots at same time instead of one after ano

问题:

I have the following code which shows a matplotlib plot first. Then, I have to close the first plot so that the second plot appears.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mglearn

# generate dataset
X, y = mglearn.datasets.make_forge()
# plot dataset
mglearn.discrete_scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], y)
plt.legend(["Class 0", "Class 1"], loc=4)
plt.xlabel("First feature")
plt.ylabel("Second feature")
print("X.shape: {}".format(X.shape))

plt.show()

X, y = mglearn.datasets.make_wave(n_samples=40)
plt.plot(X, y, 'o')
plt.ylim(-3, 3)
plt.xlabel("Feature")
plt.ylabel("Target")

plt.show()

I would like to have the 2 matplotlib plots appear at the same time.

回答1:

plt.show() plots all the figures present in the state machine. Calling it only at the end of the script, ensures that all previously created figures are plotted.

Now you need to make sure that each plot indeed is created in a different figure. That can be achieved using plt.figure(fignumber) where fignumber is a number starting at index 1.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mglearn

# generate dataset
X, y = mglearn.datasets.make_forge()

plt.figure(1)
mglearn.discrete_scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], y)
plt.legend(["Class 0", "Class 1"], loc=4)
plt.xlabel("First feature")
plt.ylabel("Second feature")


plt.figure(2)
X, y = mglearn.datasets.make_wave(n_samples=40)
plt.plot(X, y, 'o')
plt.ylim(-3, 3)
plt.xlabel("Feature")
plt.ylabel("Target")

plt.show()

回答2:

Create two figures, and only call show() once

fig1 = plt.figure()
fig2 = plt.figure()

ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111)

ax1.plot(x1,y1)
ax2.plot(x2,y2)

plt.show()
