How do I set the axes range after I create an figure? I want create a 2 inch by 1 inch figure with three circles next to each other. Currently I am trying to play around with the following a,b,c,d with no success
a=0
b=0
c=5
d=10
sradius = .5
fig = plt.figure(num=0, figsize=[2,1], dpi=300, facecolor = 'w', edgecolor = 'k', frameon=True)
ax = fig.add_axes([a,b,c,d])
states = [plt.Circle((sradius+x,sradius), radius=sradius, fc='y') for x in range(4)]
for state in states: ax.add_patch(state)
fig.show()
What I want is a 2 inch by 1 inch figure where the y axis goes from 0 to 5 and the x axis goes from 0 to 10. Changing a,b,c,d always keeps the axes going from 0 to 1. What do I do?
There's a very similar example already: plot a circle with pyplot
However here's my take:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sradius = .5
circle1 = plt.Circle((0.5, 0.5), sradius, color='r')
circle2 = plt.Circle((1.5, 0.5), sradius, color='blue')
circle3 = plt.Circle((2.5, 0.5), sradius, color='g', clip_on=False)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,4))
ax.add_artist(circle1)
ax.add_artist(circle2)
ax.add_artist(circle3)
ax.set_xlim(0,3)
plt.show()
PS: People around here get pissy if you don't include import statements in your code.
