def plot_cdf(self, x=None, unit=None, wrap_at=None, label=None, xlabel=None, show=False, **kwargs)

Plot the pdf function. Requires matplotlib to be installed.

Arguments

  • x (array, optional, default=None): the numpy array at which to sample the value on the x-axis. If unit is not None, the value of x are assumed to be in the original units BaseUnivariateDistribution.unit, not unit. If not provided or None, x will be based to cover the 99.9% of all distributions (see BaseUnivariateDistribution.interval) with 1000 points and 10% padding.
  • unit (astropy.unit, optional, default=None): units to use along the x-axis. Astropy must be installed.
  • wrap_at (float, None, or False, optional, default=None): value to use for wrapping. See BaseUnivariateDistribution.wrap. If not provided or None, will use the value from BaseUnivariateDistribution.wrap_at. Note: wrapping is computed before changing units, so wrap_at must be provided according to BaseUnivariateDistribution.unit not unit.
  • label (string, optional, default=None): override the label on the x-axis. If not provided or None, will use BaseUnivariateDistribution.label. Will only be used if show=True. Unit will automatically be appended. Will be ignored if xlabel is provided.
  • xlabel (string, optional, default=None): override the label on the x-axis without appending the unit. Will override label.
  • show (bool, optional, default=True): whether to show the resulting matplotlib figure.
  • **kwargs: all keyword arguments will be passed on to plt.plot. Note: if wrapping is enabled, either via wrap_at or BaseUnivariateDistribution.wrap_at, the resulting line will break when wrapping, resulting in using multiple colors. Sending color as a keyword argument will prevent this matplotlib behavior. Calling this through BaseUnivariateDistribution.plot with plot_gaussian=True defaults to sending color='blue' through the plot_gaussian_kwargs argument.

Returns

  • the return from plt.plot

Raises

  • ImportError: if matplotlib dependency is not met.
