API Reference
=============
Matplotlib interfaces
---------------------
Matplotlib has two interfaces. See :ref:`api_interfaces` for a more detailed
description of both and their recommended use cases.
.. grid:: 1 1 2 2
:padding: 0
:gutter: 2
.. grid-item-card::
:shadow: none
:class-footer: api-interface-footer
**Axes interface** (object-based, explicit)
create a `.Figure` and one or more `~.axes.Axes` objects, then *explicitly* use
methods on these objects to add data, configure limits, set labels etc.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
API:
- `~.pyplot.subplots`: create Figure and Axes
- :mod:`~matplotlib.axes`: add data, limits, labels etc.
- `.Figure`: for figure-level methods
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Example:
.. code-block:: python
:class: api-interface-example
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.set_title("Sample plot")
plt.show()
.. grid-item-card::
:shadow: none
:class-footer: api-interface-footer
**pyplot interface** (function-based, implicit)
consists of functions in the `.pyplot` module. Figure and Axes are manipulated
through these functions and are only *implicitly* present in the background.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
API:
- `matplotlib.pyplot`
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Example:
.. code-block:: python
:class: api-interface-example
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.title("Sample plot")
plt.show()
