add(plot: Plot | HistogramPlot) → None[source] [edit on github]

Add the plot to the list of data to plot.

A copy of the plot object is stored, rather than the input argument. The title attribute can be set or changed.

Parameters:: plot (instance) – The plot or histogram object to add. It must have a plot method.

plot(overplot: bool = False, clearwindow: bool = True, **kwargs) → None[source] [edit on github]

Plot the data.

Parameters:

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. Note that the same arguments are passed to each plot.
