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:
