这将在GUI中显示图形:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
plt.show()

但我如何将图形保存到文件(例如foo.png)中?


当前回答

如果像我一样使用Spyder IDE,则必须禁用交互模式:

plt.ioff()

(此命令在科学启动时自动启动)

如果要再次启用,请使用:

plt.ion()

解决方案是:

pylab.savefig('foo.png')

如果像我一样使用Spyder IDE,则必须禁用交互模式:

plt.ioff()

(此命令在科学启动时自动启动)

如果要再次启用,请使用:

plt.ion()

你可以这样做:

def plotAFig():
  plt.figure()
  plt.plot(x,y,'b-')
  plt.savefig("figurename.png")
  plt.close()

使用matplotlib.pyplot.savefig时,可以通过扩展名指定文件格式:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.savefig('foo.png')
plt.savefig('foo.pdf')

这分别提供光栅化或矢量化输出。此外,图像周围有时存在不希望有的空白,可以通过以下方式删除:

plt.savefig('foo.png', bbox_inches='tight')

注意,如果显示绘图,plt.show()应跟随plt.savefig();否则,文件图像将为空。
