Examples

Simplest example:

The code:

import numpy as np
from plotter import Plotter

x = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 201)

to_plot = [{
    "title": "Example",
    "type": "plot",
    "data": [x, np.sin(x)]
}]

pl = Plotter(to_plot)
pl.show()

Gives:

First example

Multi-plot:

The code:

import numpy as np
from plotter import Plotter

x = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 201)

to_plot = [{
    "title": "Example 1",
    "type": "plot",
    "data": [x, np.sin(x)]
},
{
    "title": "Example 2",
    "type": "matrix",
    "data": np.random.random((100,100))
}]

pl = Plotter(to_plot, figsuptitle="Multi-plot")
pl.show()

Gives:
