Matplotlib duplicate digit and apply changes

Question

I am making a series of numbers with the same layout. Since the layout accepts a lot of lines of code, I try to duplicate the first time, done and changing only a few things, such as markers, and, if possible, data, although I know that this can complicate the situation, as this will probably require rescaling so at the end, the "plt.show ()" command displays the original digit plus the duplicate.

I’m not sure that “duplicating the settings” in the form in which you are describing is really feasible ... it probably requires a lot of low-level access for all the objects involved in the layout (axes, axis objects, line objects, patch objects and etc.). I could be completely wrong, but this is my instinct. I put something here that may come close to what you want, although you don’t need to duplicate a lot of layout specifications.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np def make_layout(data): fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) p, = ax.plot(data,'o') p.set_markerfacecolor('green') # Presumably lots of complicated settings here return fig, ax, p data = np.linspace(0,1) f1, a1, p1 = make_layout(data) f2, a2, p2 = make_layout(data**2) # Make the tweaks you want a2.set(axis_bgcolor='m') p2.set_markerfacecolor('yellow')
