chaco.examples.demo.basic.cmap_segment_plot module

Segment plot with range-selectable data points

Draws a colormapped segment plot of random data.

In addition to normal zooming and panning on the plot, the user can select a range of data values by right-dragging in the color bar.

Left-click in the color bar to cancel the range selection.

class chaco.examples.demo.basic.cmap_segment_plot.Demo

Bases: traits.has_traits.HasTraits

chaco.examples.demo.basic.cmap_segment_plot.create_colorbar(colormap)

chaco.examples.demo.basic.cmap_segment_plot.random(size=None)

Return random floats in the half-open interval [0.0, 1.0). Alias for random_sample to ease forward-porting to the new random API.

chaco.examples.demo.basic.cmap_segment_plot.standard_normal(size=None)

Draw samples from a standard Normal distribution (mean=0, stdev=1).

Parameters

size (int or tuple of ints, optional) – Output shape. If the given shape is, e.g., (m, n, k), then m * n * k samples are drawn. Default is None, in which case a single value is returned.

Returns

out – A floating-point array of shape size of drawn samples, or a single sample if size was not specified.

Return type

float or ndarray

Notes

For random samples from \(N(\mu, \sigma^2)\), use one of:

mu + sigma * np.random.standard_normal(size=...)
np.random.normal(mu, sigma, size=...)

normal

Equivalent function with additional loc and scale arguments for setting the mean and standard deviation.

Examples

>>> np.random.standard_normal()
2.1923875335537315 #random

>>> s = np.random.standard_normal(8000)
>>> s
array([ 0.6888893 ,  0.78096262, -0.89086505, ...,  0.49876311,  # random
       -0.38672696, -0.4685006 ])                                # random
>>> s.shape
(8000,)
>>> s = np.random.standard_normal(size=(3, 4, 2))
>>> s.shape
(3, 4, 2)

Two-by-four array of samples from \(N(3, 6.25)\):

>>> 3 + 2.5 * np.random.standard_normal(size=(2, 4))
array([[-4.49401501,  4.00950034, -1.81814867,  7.29718677],   # random
       [ 0.39924804,  4.68456316,  4.99394529,  4.84057254]])  # random
