Plotting

Overview

While the user can of course take the isotherm data and generate their own customised plots, pyGAPS includes a few plotting functions which make it easier for standard plots to be generated.

The main plotting tool is in the plot_iso() function, which handles the plotting of all isotherm types. Some common use-case scenarios for the functionality are:

  • Visualising the data after isotherm instantiation.

  • Quickly comparing several isotherms.

  • Checking the overlap of a model isotherm and the point data.

  • Generating graphs for a publication.

The function can take many parameters which will modify the graph style, colours etc. The function also accepts keywords to specify the unit, pressure mode and basis of the graphs. A complete list of parameters can be found in the reference.

The function also returns the matplotlib.Axes, to allow for further customisation for the resulting plot.
