Convenience Methods for Exporting Plot to a File or File-Like Object¶

You can export figure created by ggplot() or gggrid() functions
to a vector or raster format using the following methods:

to_svg(path)
to_html(path, iframe)
to_png(path, scale)
to_pdf(path, scale)

To save plot to a file on disc, specify the file' pathname in path.
To stream plot image to a file-like object, supply such object in the path parameter instead of a pathname.

from IPython import display
from lets_plot import *

LetsPlot.setup_html()

data = {'x': np.random.normal(size=100)}
p = ggplot(data, aes(x='x')) + geom_histogram()

1. Saving to a File¶

In [4]:

path = p.to_svg('lets-plot-images/hist.svg')

In [5]:

display.SVG(path)

2. Wrighting to a Stream of In-Memory Bytes¶

In [6]:

stream = io.BytesIO()

p.to_svg(stream)

In [7]:

display.SVG(stream.getvalue())
