plot(xlo, xhi, y, yerr=None, title=None, xlabel=None, ylabel=None, overplot=False, clearwindow=True, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]

Plot the data.

Parameters

xlo – The data values to plot (the bin edges along the X axis and the bin values for the Y axis). They should have the same length.
xhi – The data values to plot (the bin edges along the X axis and the bin values for the Y axis). They should have the same length.
y – The data values to plot (the bin edges along the X axis and the bin values for the Y axis). They should have the same length.
yerr (optional) – The symmetric errors to apply to the y values, or None for no errors along the axis. If given, they should match the length of the data.
title (optional, string) – The optional plot title and axis labels. These are ignored if overplot is set to True.
xlabel (optional, string) – The optional plot title and axis labels. These are ignored if overplot is set to True.
ylabel (optional, string) – The optional plot title and axis labels. These are ignored if overplot is set to True.
overplot (bool, optional) – If True then add the data to an existing plot, otherwise create a new plot.
clearwindow (bool, optional) – Should the existing plot area be cleared before creating this new plot (e.g. for multi-panel plots)?
**kwargs – These values are passed on to the plot backend, and must match the names of the keys of the object’s plot_prefs dictionary.
