matshow_new

mdtools.plot.matshow_new(*args, ax, cbar=True, cax=None, **kwargs)

Plot two dimensional data as colormap with matplotlib.axes.Axes.matshow().

See matplotlib.axes.Axes.matshow() and matplotlib.pyplot.colorbar() for more details.

Parameters:

• args (iterable, optional) – Positional arguments to parse to matplotlib.axes.Axes.matshow().

• ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – The matplotlib.axes.Axes to which to draw the image.

• cbar (bool, optional) – If True, create a colorbar and plot it either in the matplotlib.axes.Axes given by ax or cax.

• cax (matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional) – If given, the colorbar is placed in this matplotlib.axes.Axes. Is ignored if cbar is False.

• kwargs (dict, optional) – Keyword arguments to parse to matplotlib.axes.Axes.matshow().

Returns:

• img (matplotlib.image.AxesImage) – The image.

• cbar (matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar) – The colorbar. Only created and returned if cbar is True.

Notes

The following defaults of matplotlib.axes.Axes.matshow() are changed:

• rasterized is set to True.

In contrast to the default MDTools plotting style, the axis ticks are drawn outside of the plot.
