Matplotlib Backend Differences between Agg and Cairo
Renderer | File types | Description |
---|---|---|
AGG | Png | Raster graphics − high-quality images using the Anti-Grain Geometry engine |
Cairo | png, ps, pdf, svg | Raster or vector graphics − using the Cairo library |
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Set the backend name as "Agg".
- Create a 5☓5 matrix array using numpy.
- Use imshow() method to display data as an image, i.e., on a 2D regular raster.
- To save the figure, use savefig() method.
Example
import matplotlib as mpl import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True mpl.use("Agg") data = np.random.rand(5, 5) plt.imshow(data, interpolation='nearest', cmap="copper") plt.savefig('agg.png')
