brokenaxes

brokenaxes makes matplotlib plots with breaks in the axes for showing data across a discontinuous range.

Installation

pip install brokenaxes

Usage

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from brokenaxes import brokenaxes
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5,2))
bax = brokenaxes(xlims=((0, .1), (.4, .7)), ylims=((-1, .7), (.79, 1)), hspace=.05)
x = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
bax.plot(x, np.sin(10 * x), label='sin')
bax.plot(x, np.cos(10 * x), label='cos')
bax.legend(loc=3)
bax.set_xlabel('time')
bax.set_ylabel('value')

Features:

• Break x and y axes.
• Supports multiple breaks on a single axis.
• Automatically scales axes according to relative ranges.
• Plot multiple lines.
• Legend with positioning relative to entire broken axes object
• x and y label centered to entire plot
• Make brokenaxes object a subplot itself with matplotlib.GridSpec.subplot_spec.
