Plotting with parameters

Write a plot_sin1(a, b) function that plots $sin(ax+b)$ over the interval $[0,4\pi]$.

Customize your visualization to make it effective and beautiful.
Customize the box, grid, spines and ticks to match the requirements of this data.
Use enough points along the x-axis to get a smooth plot.
For the x-axis tick locations use integer multiples of $\pi$.
For the x-axis tick labels use multiples of pi using LaTeX: $3\pi$ .

# YOUR CODE HERE
t=np.linspace(0,4*3.14,1000)
def plot_sine1(a,b):
    plt.plot(t,np.sin(t*a)+b)
    plt.xlim(0,4*3.14)
    plt.ylim(b-2,b+2)
    plt.tick_params(direction='out')



In [5]:

    
plot_sine1(5, 3.4)

Then use interact to create a user interface for exploring your function:

a should be a floating point slider over the interval $[0.0,5.0]$ with steps of $0.1$.
b should be a floating point slider over the interval $[-5.0,5.0]$ with steps of $0.1$.



In [6]:

    
# YOUR CODE HERE
interact(plot_sine1,a=(0,5,0.1),b=(-5,5,0.1));



In [7]:

    
assert True # leave this for grading the plot_sine1 exercise

In matplotlib, the line style and color can be set with a third argument to plot. Examples of this argument:

dashed red: r--
blue circles: bo
dotted black: k.

Write a plot_sine2(a, b, style) function that has a third style argument that allows you to set the line style of the plot. The style should default to a blue line.



In [8]:

    
# YOUR CODE HERE
t=np.linspace(0,4*3.14,1000)
def plot_sine2(a,b,c):
    plt.plot(t,np.sin(t*a)+b,c)
    plt.xlim(0,4*3.14)
    plt.ylim(b-2,b+2)
    plt.tick_params(direction='out')



In [9]:

    
plot_sine2(4.0, -1.0,'r--')

Use interact to create a UI for plot_sine2.

Use a slider for a and b as above.
Use a drop down menu for selecting the line style between a dotted blue line line, black circles and red triangles.



In [10]:

    
# YOUR CODE HERE
interact(plot_sine2,a=(0,5,0.1),b=(-5,5,0.1), c={'blue dots': 'b.','black circles': 'ko','red triangles': 'r^'});



In [11]:

    
assert True # leave this for grading the plot_sine2 exercise
