First examples

this note is only for fun

Example 1

In [2]:
#!/usr/bin/env python

# implement the example graphs/integral from pyx
from pylab import *
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon

def func(x):
    return (x-3)*(x-5)*(x-7)+85

ax = subplot(111)

a, b = 2, 9 # integral area
x = arange(0, 10, 0.01)
y = func(x)

# make the shaded region
ix = arange(a, b, 0.01)

     r"$\int_a^b f(x)\mathrm{d}x$", horizontalalignment='center',
     fontsize=20)

axis([0,10, 0, 180])

figtext(0.1, 0.9, 'y')
ax.set_xticks((a,b))
ax.set_xticklabels(('a','b'))
ax.set_yticks([])
show()


Example 2


In [3]:
%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

N = 50
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
area = np.pi * (15 * np.random.rand(N))**2 # 0 to 15 point radiuses

plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()
