pycalphad.plot.eqplot module

The eqplot module contains functions for general plotting of the results of equilibrium calculations.

pycalphad.plot.eqplot.eqplot(eq, ax=None, x=None, y=None, z=None, tielines=True, tieline_color=(0, 1, 0, 1), tie_triangle_color=(1, 0, 0, 1), legend_generator=<function phase_legend>, **kwargs)[source]

Plot the result of an equilibrium calculation.

The type of plot is controlled by the degrees of freedom in the equilibrium calculation.

Parameters:
  • eq (xarray.Dataset) – Result of equilibrium calculation.

  • ax (matplotlib.Axes) – Default axes used if not specified.

  • x (StateVariable, optional)

  • y (StateVariable, optional)

  • z (StateVariable, optional)

  • tielines (bool) – If True, will plot tielines

  • tieline_color (color) – A valid matplotlib color, such as a named color string, hex RGB string, or a tuple of RGBA components to set the color of the two phase region tielines. The default is an RGBA tuple for green: (0, 1, 0, 1).

  • tie_triangle_color (color) – A valid matplotlib color, such as a named color string, hex RGB string, or a tuple of RGBA components to set the color of the two phase region tielines. The default is an RGBA tuple for red: (1, 0, 0, 1).

  • legend_generator (Callable) – A function that will be called with the list of phases and will return legend labels and colors for each phase. By default pycalphad.plot.utils.phase_legend is used

  • kwargs (kwargs) – Passed to matplotlib.pyplot.scatter.

Return type:

matplotlib AxesSubplot

pycalphad.plot.ternary module

The ternary module enables plotting of ternary isobaric phase diagrams.

pycalphad.plot.ternary.ternplot(dbf, comps, phases, conds, x=None, y=None, eq_kwargs=None, **plot_kwargs)[source]

Calculate the ternary isothermal, isobaric phase diagram. This function is a convenience wrapper around equilibrium() and eqplot().

Parameters:
  • dbf (Database) – Thermodynamic database containing the relevant parameters.

  • comps (list) – Names of components to consider in the calculation.

  • phases (list) – Names of phases to consider in the calculation.

  • conds (dict) – Maps StateVariables to values and/or iterables of values. For ternplot only one changing composition and one potential coordinate each is supported.

  • x (v.MoleFraction) – instance of a pycalphad.variables.composition to plot on the x-axis. Must correspond to an independent condition.

  • y (v.MoleFraction) – instance of a pycalphad.variables.composition to plot on the y-axis. Must correspond to an independent condition.

  • eq_kwargs (optional) – Keyword arguments to equilibrium().

  • plot_kwargs (optional) – Keyword arguments to eqplot().

Return type:

A phase diagram as a figure.

pycalphad.plot.triangular module

Register a 'triangular' projection with matplotlib to plot diagrams on triangular axes.

Users should not have to instantiate the TriangularAxes class directly. Instead, the projection name can be passed as a keyword argument to matplotlib.

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> import numpy as np
>>> plt.gca(projection='triangular')
>>> plt.scatter(np.random.random(10), np.random.random(10))
class pycalphad.plot.triangular.TriangularAxes(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Axes

A custom class for triangular projections.

can_zoom()[source]

Return True if this axes support the zoom box

clear()[source]

Hard-code axes limits to be on [0, 1] for both axes.

Warning: Limits not on [0, 1] may lead to clipping issues!

drag_pan(button, key, x, y)[source]

Called when the mouse moves during a pan operation.

Parameters:
  • button (.MouseButton) – The pressed mouse button.

  • key (str or None) – The pressed key, if any.

  • x (float) – The mouse coordinates in display coords.

  • y (float) – The mouse coordinates in display coords.

Notes

This is intended to be overridden by new projection types.

end_pan()[source]

Called when a pan operation completes (when the mouse button is up.)

Notes

This is intended to be overridden by new projection types.

get_xaxis_text1_transform(pad)[source]
Returns:

  • transform (Transform) – The transform used for drawing x-axis labels, which will add pad_points of padding (in points) between the axis and the label. The x-direction is in data coordinates and the y-direction is in axis coordinates

  • valign ({‘center’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘baseline’, ‘center_baseline’}) – The text vertical alignment.

  • halign ({‘center’, ‘left’, ‘right’}) – The text horizontal alignment.

Notes

This transformation is primarily used by the ~matplotlib.axis.Axis class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.

get_xaxis_text2_transform(pad)[source]
Returns:

  • transform (Transform) – The transform used for drawing secondary x-axis labels, which will add pad_points of padding (in points) between the axis and the label. The x-direction is in data coordinates and the y-direction is in axis coordinates

  • valign ({‘center’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘baseline’, ‘center_baseline’}) – The text vertical alignment.

  • halign ({‘center’, ‘left’, ‘right’}) – The text horizontal alignment.

Notes

This transformation is primarily used by the ~matplotlib.axis.Axis class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.

get_xaxis_transform(which='grid')[source]

Get the transformation used for drawing x-axis labels, ticks and gridlines. The x-direction is in data coordinates and the y-direction is in axis coordinates.

Note

This transformation is primarily used by the ~matplotlib.axis.Axis class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.

Parameters:

which ({'grid', 'tick1', 'tick2'})

get_yaxis_text1_transform(pad)[source]
Returns:

  • transform (Transform) – The transform used for drawing y-axis labels, which will add pad_points of padding (in points) between the axis and the label. The x-direction is in axis coordinates and the y-direction is in data coordinates

  • valign ({‘center’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘baseline’, ‘center_baseline’}) – The text vertical alignment.

  • halign ({‘center’, ‘left’, ‘right’}) – The text horizontal alignment.

Notes

get_yaxis_text2_transform(pad)[source]
Returns:

  • transform (Transform) – The transform used for drawing secondart y-axis labels, which will add pad_points of padding (in points) between the axis and the label. The x-direction is in axis coordinates and the y-direction is in data coordinates

  • valign ({‘center’, ‘top’, ‘bottom’, ‘baseline’, ‘center_baseline’}) – The text vertical alignment.

  • halign ({‘center’, ‘left’, ‘right’}) – The text horizontal alignment.

get_yaxis_transform(which='grid')[source]

Get the transformation used for drawing y-axis labels, ticks and gridlines. The x-direction is in axis coordinates and the y-direction is in data coordinates.

Note

This transformation is primarily used by the ~matplotlib.axis.Axis class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.

Parameters:

which ({'grid', 'tick1', 'tick2'})

name = 'triangular'
set(**kwargs)[source]
set_ylabel(ylabel, fontdict=None, labelpad=None, *, loc=None, **kwargs)[source]

Set the label for the y-axis. Default rotation=60 degrees.

Parameters:
  • ylabel (str) – The label text.

  • labelpad (float, default: None) – Spacing in points from the axes bounding box including ticks and tick labels.

  • loc ({‘bottom’, ‘center’, ‘top’}, default: yaxis.labellocation) – The label position. This is a high-level alternative for passing parameters y and horizontalalignment.

  • **kwargs (.Text properties) – .Text properties control the appearance of the label.

Documents the properties supported by .Text.

start_pan(x, y, button)[source]

Called when a pan operation has started.

Parameters:
