"""

`matplotlib.pyplot` is a state-based interface to matplotlib. It provides

a MATLAB-like way of plotting.

pyplot is mainly intended for interactive plots and simple cases of programmatic

plot generation::

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(0, 5, 0.1)

y = np.sin(x)

plt.plot(x, y)

The object-oriented API is recommended for more complex plots.

Create a new figure.

Parameters

----------

num : integer or string, optional, default: None

If not provided, a new figure will be created, and the figure number

will be incremented. The figure objects holds this number in a `number`

attribute.

If num is provided, and a figure with this id already exists, make

it active, and returns a reference to it. If this figure does not

exists, create it and returns it.

If num is a string, the window title will be set to this figure's

`num`.

figsize : tuple of integers, optional, default: None

width, height in inches. If not provided, defaults to

:rc:`figure.figsize` = ``[6.4, 4.8]``.

dpi : integer, optional, default: None

resolution of the figure. If not provided, defaults to

:rc:`figure.dpi` = ``100``.

facecolor :

the background color. If not provided, defaults to

:rc:`figure.facecolor` = ``'w'``.

edgecolor :

the border color. If not provided, defaults to

:rc:`figure.edgecolor` = ``'w'``.

frameon : bool, optional, default: True

If False, suppress drawing the figure frame.

FigureClass : subclass of `~matplotlib.figure.Figure`

Optionally use a custom `.Figure` instance.

clear : bool, optional, default: False

If True and the figure already exists, then it is cleared.

Returns

-------

figure : `~matplotlib.figure.Figure`

The `.Figure` instance returned will also be passed to new_figure_manager

in the backends, which allows to hook custom `.Figure` classes into the

pyplot interface. Additional kwargs will be passed to the `.Figure`

init function.

Notes

-----

If you are creating many figures, make sure you explicitly call

:func:`.pyplot.close` on the figures you are not using, because this will

enable pyplot to properly clean up the memory.

`~matplotlib.rcParams` defines the default values, which can be modified

in the matplotlibrc file.

"""

Add an axes to the current figure and make it the current axes.

Call signatures::

plt.axes()

plt.axes(rect, projection=None, polar=False, **kwargs)

plt.axes(ax)

Parameters

----------

arg : { None, 4-tuple, Axes }

The exact behavior of this function depends on the type:

- *None*: A new full window axes is added using

``subplot(111, **kwargs)``

- 4-tuple of floats *rect* = ``[left, bottom, width, height]``.

A new axes is added with dimensions *rect* in normalized

(0, 1) units using `~.Figure.add_axes` on the current figure.

- `~.axes.Axes`: This is equivalent to `.pyplot.sca`.

It sets the current axes to *arg*. Note: This implicitly

changes the current figure to the parent of *arg*.

.. note:: The use of an `.axes.Axes` as an argument is deprecated

and will be removed in v3.0. Please use `.pyplot.sca`

instead.

projection : {None, 'aitoff', 'hammer', 'lambert', 'mollweide', \

'polar', 'rectilinear', str}, optional

The projection type of the `~.axes.Axes`. *str* is the name of

a costum projection, see `~matplotlib.projections`. The default

None results in a 'rectilinear' projection.

polar : boolean, optional

If True, equivalent to projection='polar'.

sharex, sharey : `~.axes.Axes`, optional

Share the x or y `~matplotlib.axis` with sharex and/or sharey.

The axis will have the same limits, ticks, and scale as the axis

of the shared axes.

label : str

A label for the returned axes.

Other Parameters

----------------

**kwargs

This method also takes the keyword arguments for

the returned axes class. The keyword arguments for the

rectilinear axes class `~.axes.Axes` can be found in

the following table but there might also be other keyword

arguments if another projection is used, see the actual axes

class.

%(Axes)s

Returns

-------

axes : `~.axes.Axes` (or a subclass of `~.axes.Axes`)

The returned axes class depends on the projection used. It is

`~.axes.Axes` if rectilinear projection are used and

`.projections.polar.PolarAxes` if polar projection

are used.

Notes

-----

If the figure already has a axes with key (*args*,

*kwargs*) then it will simply make that axes current and

return it. This behavior is deprecated. Meanwhile, if you do

not want this behavior (i.e., you want to force the creation of a

new axes), you must use a unique set of args and kwargs. The axes

*label* attribute has been exposed for this purpose: if you want

two axes that are otherwise identical to be added to the figure,

make sure you give them unique labels.
