Plot objects that inherit from the template plot classes have the following properties.
- Fast plotting by use of matplotlib.canvas.blit.
- Redrawing past iterations of the figure by storing all changes in history.
- Keyboard navigation for iteration selection.
- Plot object information by picking.
When the focus is on the figure, indicated by a green circle in the bottom right corner, the user can navigate through the history of the figure by the commands below.
| key | function |
|---|---|
| h | show help |
| i | show all iterations |
| enter or right | go to next iteration, enter iteration number |
| backspace or left | go to previous iteration |
| n | go to newest iteration |
| 0-9 | input iteration number |
If the focus is lost, it can be regained by calling template.focus on the plot object.
Default values for plot properties such as colors and linewidths are saved in a plot.ini file. Any plot property can be overwritten by supplying the override value as a keyword argument during object initialization or a custom plot.ini file in the working directory.
