Generating Plot Images

The relevant package is pbreports.plot

The code is structured as a set of static functions in helper.py. The general strategy for any plot type is to get a figure/axis tuple, then to pass the axis into a plot function, and to finally pass the figure into a save function.

from pbreports.plot.helper import get_fig_axes_lpr, apply_histogram_data, save_figure_with_thumbnail

def _save_histogram(data):
    """ Example showing how to save a histogram.
    data: numpy array
    """
    axis_labels = ('X Label', 'Y Label')
    bins = np.logspace(0, 4, 50)
    fig, ax = get_fig_axes_lpr()
    ax.set_xscale('log')
    apply_histogram_data(ax, mas, bins, axis_labels=axis_labels, \
                        barcolor='#505050', xlim=(0, 20000) )

    png_fn = os.path.join(output_dir, "adapter_" + pg_id + ".png" )
    png_fn, thumb = save_figure_with_thumbnail(fig, '/my/fig.png')
