pyplot

matplotlib.pyplot

Provides a MATLAB-like plotting framework.

pylab combines pyplot with numpy into a single namespace. This is convenient for interactive work, but for programming it is recommended that the namespaces be kept separate, e.g.:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(0, 5, 0.1);
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x, y)

matplotlib.pyplot.acorr(x, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)

Plot the autocorrelation of x.

Parameters:	x : sequence of scalar hold : boolean, optional, deprecated, default: True detrend : callable, optional, default: mlab.detrend_none x is detrended by the detrend callable. Default is no normalization. normed : boolean, optional, default: True if True, input vectors are normalised to unit length. usevlines : boolean, optional, default: True if True, Axes.vlines is used to plot the vertical lines from the origin to the acorr. Otherwise, Axes.plot is used. maxlags : integer, optional, default: 10 number of lags to show. If None, will return all 2 * len(x) - 1 lags.
Returns:	(lags, c, line, b) : where: lags are a length 2`maxlags+1 lag vector. c is the 2`maxlags+1 auto correlation vectorI line is a Line2D instance returned by plot. b is the x-axis.
Other Parameters:
	linestyle : Line2D prop, optional, default: None Only used if usevlines is False. marker : string, optional, default: ‘o’

Notes

The cross correlation is performed with numpy.correlate() with mode = 2.

Examples

xcorr is top graph, and acorr is bottom graph.
