Hello!
I try to use a background image in my plot:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
im = plt.imread("WTunnel.png")
plt.xlim([-3,4])
plt.ylim([-0.01,0.05])
plt.plot(some stuff)
plt.imshow(im, aspect="auto", extent=(-5, 4, -0.01, 0.05))
This works more or less.
As far as I understand the extent argument works as scaling factor. Is there a
way to move the background picture? I need to exactly set the x position since
the background image is associated with the x data from the plots.
The origin argument seems to be promising, but it accepts only
[None|‘upper’|‘lower’].
What is the best way to handle such a picture?
Background: The data is pressure measurements over x. The background image
shows the geometric features of the measured object. Exact x_0 and dx is
crucial, y values of the picture just need to look good
Thanks!
