Matplotlib
Tricks
fig, axes = plt.subplots(rows, cols, ...) is the preferred way to create
axis objects — the returned result is a 2-D array.- Setting
label="__nolegend__" disables legend on a plot.
- Calling
ax.set_xxx() methods without arguments returns the current val.
- A shape is called a
patch
- DPI of images defaults to
100 in IPython and 72 in
Jupyter — pretty low.
plt.rc("figure", figsize=(10, 10)) to set defaults to methods,
.matplotlibrc file can be used to configure the behavior of Matplotlib.
