如何使用matplotlib在while循环中实时绘制?

问题:如何使用matplotlib在while循环中实时绘制?

我正在尝试使用OpenCV从摄像机实时绘制一些数据。但是,实时绘图(使用matplotlib)似乎不起作用。

我将问题隔离到以下简单示例中:

fig = plt.figure()
plt.axis([0, 1000, 0, 1])

i = 0
x = list()
y = list()

while i < 1000:
    temp_y = np.random.random()
    x.append(i)
    y.append(temp_y)
    plt.scatter(i, temp_y)
    i += 1
    plt.show()

我希望该示例可以单独绘制1000点。实际发生的是,窗口弹出并显示第一个点(表示正确),然后等待循环结束,然后再填充图的其余部分。

有什么想法为什么我一次看不到点呢?

I am trying to plot some data from a camera in real time using OpenCV. However, the real-time plotting (using matplotlib) doesn’t seem to be working.

I’ve isolated the problem into this simple example:

fig = plt.figure()
plt.axis([0, 1000, 0, 1])

i = 0
x = list()
y = list()

while i < 1000:
    temp_y = np.random.random()
    x.append(i)
    y.append(temp_y)
    plt.scatter(i, temp_y)
    i += 1
    plt.show()

I would expect this example to plot 1000 points individually. What actually happens is that the window pops up with the first point showing (ok with that), then waits for the loop to finish before it populates the rest of the graph.

Any thoughts why I am not seeing points populated one at a time?

这是有问题的代码的工作版本(至少需要从2011-11-14起版本Matplotlib 1.1.0):

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.axis([0, 10, 0, 1])

for i in range(10):
    y = np.random.random()
    plt.scatter(i, y)
    plt.pause(0.05)

plt.show()

注意一些更改:

  1. 调用plt.pause(0.05)均绘制新数据,并运行GUI的事件循环(允许鼠标交互)。

Here’s the working version of the code in question (requires at least version Matplotlib 1.1.0 from 2011-11-14):

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.axis([0, 10, 0, 1])

for i in range(10):
    y = np.random.random()
    plt.scatter(i, y)
    plt.pause(0.05)

plt.show()

Note some of the changes:

  1. Call plt.pause(0.05) to both draw the new data and it runs the GUI’s event loop (allowing for mouse interaction).

如果您对实时绘图感兴趣,建议您使用matplotlib的animation API。特别是,blit避免在每帧上绘制背景都会使您获得可观的速度提升(〜10倍):

#!/usr/bin/env python

import numpy as np
import time
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt


def randomwalk(dims=(256, 256), n=20, sigma=5, alpha=0.95, seed=1):
    """ A simple random walk with memory """

    r, c = dims
    gen = np.random.RandomState(seed)
    pos = gen.rand(2, n) * ((r,), (c,))
    old_delta = gen.randn(2, n) * sigma

    while True:
        delta = (1. - alpha) * gen.randn(2, n) * sigma + alpha * old_delta
        pos += delta
        for ii in xrange(n):
            if not (0. <= pos[0, ii] < r):
                pos[0, ii] = abs(pos[0, ii] % r)
            if not (0. <= pos[1, ii] < c):
                pos[1, ii] = abs(pos[1, ii] % c)
        old_delta = delta
        yield pos


def run(niter=1000, doblit=True):
    """
    Display the simulation using matplotlib, optionally using blit for speed
    """

    fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
    ax.set_aspect('equal')
    ax.set_xlim(0, 255)
    ax.set_ylim(0, 255)
    ax.hold(True)
    rw = randomwalk()
    x, y = rw.next()

    plt.show(False)
    plt.draw()

    if doblit:
        # cache the background
        background = fig.canvas.copy_from_bbox(ax.bbox)

    points = ax.plot(x, y, 'o')[0]
    tic = time.time()

    for ii in xrange(niter):

        # update the xy data
        x, y = rw.next()
        points.set_data(x, y)

        if doblit:
            # restore background
            fig.canvas.restore_region(background)

            # redraw just the points
            ax.draw_artist(points)

            # fill in the axes rectangle
            fig.canvas.blit(ax.bbox)

        else:
            # redraw everything
            fig.canvas.draw()

    plt.close(fig)
    print "Blit = %s, average FPS: %.2f" % (
        str(doblit), niter / (time.time() - tic))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run(doblit=False)
    run(doblit=True)

输出:

Blit = False, average FPS: 54.37
Blit = True, average FPS: 438.27

If you’re interested in realtime plotting, I’d recommend looking into matplotlib’s animation API. In particular, using blit to avoid redrawing the background on every frame can give you substantial speed gains (~10x):

#!/usr/bin/env python

import numpy as np
import time
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt


def randomwalk(dims=(256, 256), n=20, sigma=5, alpha=0.95, seed=1):
    """ A simple random walk with memory """

    r, c = dims
    gen = np.random.RandomState(seed)
    pos = gen.rand(2, n) * ((r,), (c,))
    old_delta = gen.randn(2, n) * sigma

    while True:
        delta = (1. - alpha) * gen.randn(2, n) * sigma + alpha * old_delta
        pos += delta
        for ii in xrange(n):
            if not (0. <= pos[0, ii] < r):
                pos[0, ii] = abs(pos[0, ii] % r)
            if not (0. <= pos[1, ii] < c):
                pos[1, ii] = abs(pos[1, ii] % c)
        old_delta = delta
        yield pos


def run(niter=1000, doblit=True):
    """
    Display the simulation using matplotlib, optionally using blit for speed
    """

    fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
    ax.set_aspect('equal')
    ax.set_xlim(0, 255)
    ax.set_ylim(0, 255)
    ax.hold(True)
    rw = randomwalk()
    x, y = rw.next()

    plt.show(False)
    plt.draw()

    if doblit:
        # cache the background
        background = fig.canvas.copy_from_bbox(ax.bbox)

    points = ax.plot(x, y, 'o')[0]
    tic = time.time()

    for ii in xrange(niter):

        # update the xy data
        x, y = rw.next()
        points.set_data(x, y)

        if doblit:
            # restore background
            fig.canvas.restore_region(background)

            # redraw just the points
            ax.draw_artist(points)

            # fill in the axes rectangle
            fig.canvas.blit(ax.bbox)

        else:
            # redraw everything
            fig.canvas.draw()

    plt.close(fig)
    print "Blit = %s, average FPS: %.2f" % (
        str(doblit), niter / (time.time() - tic))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run(doblit=False)
    run(doblit=True)

Output:

Blit = False, average FPS: 54.37
Blit = True, average FPS: 438.27

Just try it out. Copy-paste this code in a new python-file, and run it. You should get a beautiful, smoothly moving graph:


回答 3

show可能不是最佳选择。我要做的是pyplot.draw()代替使用。您可能还希望time.sleep(0.05)在循环中包含一个小的时间延迟(例如),以便可以看到绘图的发生。如果我对您的示例进行了这些更改,它将对我有用,并且我看到每个点一次出现。

show is probably not the best choice for this. What I would do is use pyplot.draw() instead. You also might want to include a small time delay (e.g., time.sleep(0.05)) in the loop so that you can see the plots happening. If I make these changes to your example it works for me and I see each point appearing one at a time.


回答 4

这些方法都不适合我。但是我发现这个 实时matplotlib图在仍然处于循环中时无法正常工作

您只需要添加

plt.pause(0.0001)

然后您可以看到新的地块。

因此您的代码应如下所示,并且可以正常工作

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.ion() ## Note this correction
fig=plt.figure()
plt.axis([0,1000,0,1])

i=0
x=list()
y=list()

while i <1000:
    temp_y=np.random.random();
    x.append(i);
    y.append(temp_y);
    plt.scatter(i,temp_y);
    i+=1;
    plt.show()
    plt.pause(0.0001) #Note this correction

None of the methods worked for me. But I have found this Real time matplotlib plot is not working while still in a loop

All you need is to add

plt.pause(0.0001)

and then you could see the new plots.

So your code should look like this, and it will work

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
plt.ion() ## Note this correction
fig=plt.figure()
plt.axis([0,1000,0,1])

i=0
x=list()
y=list()

while i <1000:
    temp_y=np.random.random();
    x.append(i);
    y.append(temp_y);
    plt.scatter(i,temp_y);
    i+=1;
    plt.show()
    plt.pause(0.0001) #Note this correction

回答 5

上面的(以及许多其他)答案都建立在上plt.pause(),但这是在matplotlib中对情节进行动画处理的一种旧方法。它不仅很慢,而且还会导致每次更新都引起关注(我很难停止绘制python进程)。

TL; DR:您可能想使用matplotlib.animation如文档中所述)。

在研究了各种答案和代码段之后,事实证明,这对我来说是一种无限绘制传入数据的平滑方法。

这是我的快速入门代码。它每200ms无限地绘制一次[0,100)中的随机数的当前时间,同时还处理视图的自动缩放:

from datetime import datetime
from matplotlib import pyplot
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
from random import randrange

x_data, y_data = [], []

figure = pyplot.figure()
line, = pyplot.plot_date(x_data, y_data, '-')

def update(frame):
    x_data.append(datetime.now())
    y_data.append(randrange(0, 100))
    line.set_data(x_data, y_data)
    figure.gca().relim()
    figure.gca().autoscale_view()
    return line,

animation = FuncAnimation(figure, update, interval=200)

pyplot.show()

您还可以像FuncAnimation文档中一样探索blit更好的性能。

blit文档中的示例:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
xdata, ydata = [], []
ln, = plt.plot([], [], 'ro')

def init():
    ax.set_xlim(0, 2*np.pi)
    ax.set_ylim(-1, 1)
    return ln,

def update(frame):
    xdata.append(frame)
    ydata.append(np.sin(frame))
    ln.set_data(xdata, ydata)
    return ln,

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 128),
                    init_func=init, blit=True)
plt.show()

The top (and many other) answers were built upon plt.pause(), but that was an old way of animating the plot in matplotlib. It is not only slow, but also causes focus to be grabbed upon each update (I had a hard time stopping the plotting python process).

TL;DR: you may want to use matplotlib.animation (as mentioned in documentation).

After digging around various answers and pieces of code, this in fact proved to be a smooth way of drawing incoming data infinitely for me.

Here is my code for a quick start. It plots current time with a random number in [0, 100) every 200ms infinitely, while also handling auto rescaling of the view:

from datetime import datetime
from matplotlib import pyplot
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation
from random import randrange

x_data, y_data = [], []

figure = pyplot.figure()
line, = pyplot.plot_date(x_data, y_data, '-')

def update(frame):
    x_data.append(datetime.now())
    y_data.append(randrange(0, 100))
    line.set_data(x_data, y_data)
    figure.gca().relim()
    figure.gca().autoscale_view()
    return line,

animation = FuncAnimation(figure, update, interval=200)

pyplot.show()

You can also explore blit for even better performance as in FuncAnimation documentation.

An example from the blit documentation:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
xdata, ydata = [], []
ln, = plt.plot([], [], 'ro')

def init():
    ax.set_xlim(0, 2*np.pi)
    ax.set_ylim(-1, 1)
    return ln,

def update(frame):
    xdata.append(frame)
    ydata.append(np.sin(frame))
    ln.set_data(xdata, ydata)
    return ln,

ani = FuncAnimation(fig, update, frames=np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 128),
                    init_func=init, blit=True)
plt.show()

我知道这个问题很旧,但是现在在GitHub上有一个名为drawow的软件包,名为“ python-drawnow”。这提供了类似于MATLAB的drawow的界面-您可以轻松地更新图形。

您的用例示例:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from drawnow import drawnow

def make_fig():
    plt.scatter(x, y)  # I think you meant this

plt.ion()  # enable interactivity
fig = plt.figure()  # make a figure

x = list()
y = list()

for i in range(1000):
    temp_y = np.random.random()
    x.append(i)
    y.append(temp_y)  # or any arbitrary update to your figure's data
    i += 1
    drawnow(make_fig)

python-drawnow是一个薄包装,plt.draw但是提供了在图形显示后进行确认(或调试)的功能。

I know this question is old, but there’s now a package available called drawnow on GitHub as “python-drawnow”. This provides an interface similar to MATLAB’s drawnow — you can easily update a figure.

An example for your use case:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from drawnow import drawnow

def make_fig():
    plt.scatter(x, y)  # I think you meant this

plt.ion()  # enable interactivity
fig = plt.figure()  # make a figure

x = list()
y = list()

for i in range(1000):
    temp_y = np.random.random()
    x.append(i)
    y.append(temp_y)  # or any arbitrary update to your figure's data
    i += 1
    drawnow(make_fig)

python-drawnow is a thin wrapper around plt.draw but provides the ability to confirm (or debug) after figure display.

问题似乎是您希望plt.show()显示该窗口然后返回。它不会那样做。该程序将在此时停止,仅在关闭窗口后才能恢复。您应该能够测试以下内容:如果关闭窗口,然后弹出另一个窗口。

要解决该问题,只需plt.show()在循环后调用一次即可。然后,您可以获得完整的图。(但不是“实时绘图”)

您可以尝试block像这样设置关键字参数:plt.show(block=False)在开始时设置一次,然后用于.draw()更新。

The problem seems to be that you expect plt.show() to show the window and then to return. It does not do that. The program will stop at that point and only resume once you close the window. You should be able to test that: If you close the window and then another window should pop up.

To resolve that problem just call plt.show() once after your loop. Then you get the complete plot. (But not a ‘real-time plotting’)

You can try setting the keyword-argument block like this: plt.show(block=False) once at the beginning and then use .draw() to update.

这是我必须在系统上使用的版本。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from drawnow import drawnow
import numpy as np

def makeFig():
    plt.scatter(xList,yList) # I think you meant this

plt.ion() # enable interactivity
fig=plt.figure() # make a figure

xList=list()
yList=list()

for i in np.arange(50):
    y=np.random.random()
    xList.append(i)
    yList.append(y)
    drawnow(makeFig)
    #makeFig()      The drawnow(makeFig) command can be replaced
    #plt.draw()     with makeFig(); plt.draw()
    plt.pause(0.001)

drawow(makeFig)行可以用makeFig()代替;plt.draw()序列,它仍然可以正常工作。

Here is a version that I got to work on my system.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from drawnow import drawnow
import numpy as np

def makeFig():
    plt.scatter(xList,yList) # I think you meant this

plt.ion() # enable interactivity
fig=plt.figure() # make a figure

xList=list()
yList=list()

for i in np.arange(50):
    y=np.random.random()
    xList.append(i)
    yList.append(y)
    drawnow(makeFig)
    #makeFig()      The drawnow(makeFig) command can be replaced
    #plt.draw()     with makeFig(); plt.draw()
    plt.pause(0.001)

The drawnow(makeFig) line can be replaced with a makeFig(); plt.draw() sequence and it still works OK.

如果要绘制而不在绘制更多点时冻结线程,则应使用plt.pause()而不是time.sleep()

im使用以下代码绘制一系列xy坐标。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import math


pi = 3.14159

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

x = []
y = []

def PointsInCircum(r,n=20):
    circle = [(math.cos(2*pi/n*x)*r,math.sin(2*pi/n*x)*r) for x in xrange(0,n+1)]
    return circle

circle_list = PointsInCircum(3, 50)

for t in range(len(circle_list)):
    if t == 0:
        points, = ax.plot(x, y, marker='o', linestyle='--')
        ax.set_xlim(-4, 4) 
        ax.set_ylim(-4, 4) 
    else:
        x_coord, y_coord = circle_list.pop()
        x.append(x_coord)
        y.append(y_coord)
        points.set_data(x, y)
    plt.pause(0.01)

If you want draw and not freeze your thread as more point are drawn you should use plt.pause() not time.sleep()

im using the following code to plot a series of xy coordinates.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import math


pi = 3.14159

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

x = []
y = []

def PointsInCircum(r,n=20):
    circle = [(math.cos(2*pi/n*x)*r,math.sin(2*pi/n*x)*r) for x in xrange(0,n+1)]
    return circle

circle_list = PointsInCircum(3, 50)

for t in range(len(circle_list)):
    if t == 0:
        points, = ax.plot(x, y, marker='o', linestyle='--')
        ax.set_xlim(-4, 4) 
        ax.set_ylim(-4, 4) 
    else:
        x_coord, y_coord = circle_list.pop()
        x.append(x_coord)
        y.append(y_coord)
        points.set_data(x, y)
    plt.pause(0.01)

另一个选择是使用bokeh。海事组织,至少对于实时绘图而言,它是一个很好的选择。这是问题代码的bokeh版本:

from bokeh.plotting import curdoc, figure
import random
import time

def update():
    global i
    temp_y = random.random()
    r.data_source.stream({'x': [i], 'y': [temp_y]})
    i += 1

i = 0
p = figure()
r = p.circle([], [])
curdoc().add_root(p)
curdoc().add_periodic_callback(update, 100)

并运行它:

pip3 install bokeh
bokeh serve --show test.py

bokeh通过websocket通信在Web浏览器中显示结果。当数据由远程无头服务器进程生成时,它特别有用。

Another option is to go with bokeh. IMO, it is a good alternative at least for real-time plots. Here is a bokeh version of the code in the question:

from bokeh.plotting import curdoc, figure
import random
import time

def update():
    global i
    temp_y = random.random()
    r.data_source.stream({'x': [i], 'y': [temp_y]})
    i += 1

i = 0
p = figure()
r = p.circle([], [])
curdoc().add_root(p)
curdoc().add_periodic_callback(update, 100)

and for running it:

pip3 install bokeh
bokeh serve --show test.py

bokeh shows the result in a web browser via websocket communications. It is especially useful when data is generated by remote headless server processes.

一个实时绘制CPU使用情况的示例用例。

import time
import psutil
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

i = 0
x, y = [], []

while True:
    x.append(i)
    y.append(psutil.cpu_percent())

    ax.plot(x, y, color='b')

    fig.canvas.draw()

    ax.set_xlim(left=max(0, i - 50), right=i + 50)
    fig.show()
    plt.pause(0.05)
    i += 1

An example use-case to plot CPU usage in real-time.

import time
import psutil
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

i = 0
x, y = [], []

while True:
    x.append(i)
    y.append(psutil.cpu_percent())

    ax.plot(x, y, color='b')

    fig.canvas.draw()

    ax.set_xlim(left=max(0, i - 50), right=i + 50)
    fig.show()
    plt.pause(0.05)
    i += 1
