Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface.
matplotlib.pyplot.pause() Function:
The pause() function in pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to pause for interval seconds.
Syntax:
matplotlib.pyplot.pause(interval)Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.
Return value: This method does not returns any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.pause() function in matplotlib.pyplot:
Example #1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt np.random.seed( 19 ) data = np.random.random(( 5 , 10 , 10 )) for i in range ( len (data)): plt.cla() plt.title( 'matplotlib.pyplot.pause() function Example\n\n Window {}' . format (i), fontweight = "bold" ) plt.imshow(data[i]) plt.pause( 0.1 ) |
Output:
Example #2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot( 111 , projection = '3d' ) X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data( 0.1 ) ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride = 5 , cstride = 5 ) for angle in range ( 0 , 360 ): ax.view_init( 30 , angle) plt.draw() plt.pause(. 001 ) ax.set_title( 'matplotlib.pyplot.pause() function Example' , fontweight = "bold" ) |
Output:
