Plot a timeseries

Parameters

x (array) – The time axis for the timeseries
y (array) – The values of the timeseries
figsize (list) – a list of two integers indicating the figure size
xlabel (str) – label for x-axis
ylabel (str) – label for y-axis
title (str) – the title for the figure
xlim (list) – set the limits of the x axis
ylim (list) – set the limits of the y axis
ax (pyplot.axis) – the pyplot.axis object
legend (bool) – plot legend or not
lgd_kwargs (dict) – the keyword arguments for ax.legend()
plot_kwargs (dict) – the keyword arguments for ax.plot()
mute (bool) – if True, the plot will not show; recommend to turn on when more modifications are going to be made on ax
savefig_settings (dict) –
the dictionary of arguments for plt.savefig(); some notes below: - “path” must be specified; it can be any existed or non-existed path,

with or without a suffix; if the suffix is not given in “path”, it will follow “format”
- ”format” can be one of {“pdf”, “eps”, “png”, “ps”}
invert_xaxis (bool, optional) – if True, the x-axis of the plot will be inverted

Returns

ax

Return type

the pyplot.axis object
