Array or sequence containing data on x axis. y : 1-D array or sequence. Array or sequence containing data on y axis. fname : str A string representing the path to a filename for storing the plot. If the given filename does not have a proper extension, the 'png' format is used by default, i.e. plot is saved as filename.png. Supported formats, which can be specified as filename extensions, include: - 'svgz' or 'svg' (Scalable Vector Graphics) - 'tif' or 'tiff' (Tagged Image File Format) - 'raw' (Raw RGBA bitmap) - 'png' (Portable Network Graphics) - 'ps' (Postscript) - 'eps' (Encapsulated Postscript) - 'rgba' (Raw RGBA bitmap) - 'pdf' (Portable Document Format) color : str, optional Color of plot. To customize color, see http://matplotlib.org/users/colors.html xlabel : str, optional The x axis label. ylabel : str, optional The y axis label. xlim : 1-D array or sequence of length 2, optional The lower and higher limit of x axis. ylim : 1-D array or sequence of length 2, optional The lower and higher limit of y axis.
