pytrnsys_process.util.utils.export_plots_in_configured_formats#

pytrnsys_process.util.utils.export_plots_in_configured_formats(fig: Figure, path_to_directory: str, plot_name: str, plots_folder_name: str = 'plots') → None[source]#

Save a matplotlib figure in multiple formats and sizes.

Saves the figure in all configured formats (png, pdf, emf) and sizes (A4, A4_HALF) as specified in the plot settings (api.settings.plot). For EMF format, the figure is first saved as SVG and then converted using Inkscape.

Parameters:

  • fig – The matplotlib Figure object to save.

  • path_to_directory – Directory path where the plots should be saved.

  • plot_name – Base name for the plot file (will be appended with size and format).

  • plots_folder_name – leave empty if you don’t want to save in a new folder

Note

  • Creates a ‘plots’ subdirectory if it doesn’t exist

  • For EMF files, requires Inkscape to be installed at the configured path

  • File naming format: {plot_name}-{size_name}.{format}

Example

>>> from pytrnsys_process import api, data_structures
>>> def processing_of_monthly_data(simulation: data_structures.Simulation):
>>>     monthly_df = simulation.monthly
>>>     columns_to_plot = ["QSnk60P", "QSnk60PauxCondSwitch_kW"]
>>>     fig, ax = api.bar_chart(monthly_df, columns_to_plot)
>>>
>>>     # Save the plot in multiple formats
>>>     api.export_plots_in_configured_formats(fig, simulation.path, "monthly-bar-chart")
>>>     # Creates files like:
>>>     #   results/simulation1/plots/monthly-bar-chart-A4.png
>>>     #   results/simulation1/plots/monthly-bar-chart-A4.pdf
>>>     #   results/simulation1/plots/monthly-bar-chart-A4.emf
>>>     #   results/simulation1/plots/monthly-bar-chart-A4_HALF.png
>>>     #   etc.
