Bar Plot

class MatPlus.BarPlot.BarPlot(x, y, lowerlimx=None, lowerlimy=None, upperlimx=None, upperlimy=None, barwidth=None, linewidth=None, xlabel=None, ylabel=None, title=None, height=3, width=3)[source]

A class for creating bar plots with customizable properties.

The BarPlot class provides a simplified interface for creating bar plots with customizable axis limits and bar properties such as width and line weight.

Parameters:

x (array-like) – The x-coordinates of the bars.
y (array-like) – The heights of the bars.
lowerlimx (float, optional) – Lower limit of the x-axis. Default is None (auto-determined as 90% of minimum x).
lowerlimy (float, optional) – Lower limit of the y-axis. Default is None (auto-determined as 90% of minimum y).
upperlimx (float, optional) – Upper limit of the x-axis. Default is None (auto-determined as 110% of maximum x).
upperlimy (float, optional) – Upper limit of the y-axis. Default is None (auto-determined as 110% of maximum y).
barwidth (float, optional) – The width of the bars. Default is None (uses default width of 1).
linewidth (float, optional) – The linewidth of the bar edges. Default is None (uses default linewidth of 1).
xlabel (str, optional) – The x-axis label. Default is None.
ylabel (str, optional) – The y-axis label. Default is None.
title (str, optional) – The title of the plot. Default is None.

Examples

>>> # Basic bar plot
>>> x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> y = [10, 15, 7, 12, 9]
>>> bar = BarPlot(x, y)
>>> bar.plot()

>>> # Bar plot with custom width and axis limits
>>> bar = BarPlot(x, y, lowerlimx=0, upperlimx=6, barwidth=0.5)
>>> bar.plot()

>>> # Bar plot with custom linewidth
>>> bar = BarPlot(x, y, linewidth=2)
>>> bar.plot()

plot()[source]

Create and display the bar plot.

This method creates a matplotlib figure and plots the data as bars with the specified properties. It applies all configured settings such as bar width, linewidth, and axis limits before displaying the plot.

Returns:: The plot is displayed but not returned.
Return type:: None
