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: $3\pi$ .

def plot_sinl(a,b):
    x=np.linspace(0,4*np.pi,1000)
    plt.figure(figsize=(9,6))
    plt.plot(x, np.sin(a*x+b))
    plt.xticks([0,np.pi,2*np.pi,3*np.pi,4*np.pi],[0,'$\pi$','$2\pi$','$3\pi$','$4\pi$'])



In [17]:

    
plot_sinl(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 [18]:

    
interact(plot_sinl, a=(0.,5.,.1),b=(-5.,5.,.1))

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 [26]:

    
def plot_sine2(a,b,style='b'):
    x=np.linspace(0,4*np.pi,500)
    plt.figure(figsize=(9,6))
    plt.plot(x, np.sin(a*x+b),style)
    plt.xticks([0,np.pi,2*np.pi,3*np.pi,4*np.pi],[0,'$\pi$','$2\pi$','$3\pi$','$4\pi$'])



In [27]:

    
plot_sine2(4.0,-1.0)



In [28]:

    
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 [29]:

    
interact(plot_sine2, a=(0.,5.,.1),b=(-5.,5.,.1),style=('b.','ko','r^'))

assert True # leave this for grading the plot_sine2 exercise
