I tried all of those above answers, and I then summarized a pipeline of how to draw the fixed-axes image. It applied both to show function and savefig function.
before you plot:
fig = pylab.figure() ax = fig.gca() ax.set_autoscale_on(False)
This is to request an ax which is subplot(1,1,1).
During the plot:
ax.plot('You plot argument') # Put inside your argument, like ax.plot(x,y,label='test') ax.axis('The list of range') # Put in side your range [xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax], like ax.axis([-5,5,-5,200])After the plot:
To show the image :
fig.show()To save the figure :
fig.savefig('the name of your figure')
I find out that put axis at the front of the code won't work even though I have set autoscale_on to False.
I used this code to create a series of animation. And below is the example of combing multiple fixed axes images into an animation.
