What is close() Matplotlib

The close() method in the Pyplot module of the Matplotlib library is used to close the window of the plot. By default, it closes the current window. Since the window is closed there will no output in this method.

Example:

Python3




import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
t = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0, 201)
s = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
 
fig, [ax, ax1] = plt.subplots(2, 1)
 
ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')
ax.plot(t, s)
ax.grid(True)
 
ax1.set_ylabel('y-axis')
ax1.set_xlabel('x-axis')
ax1.plot(t, s)
ax1.grid(True)
 
# Function call
plt.close()
 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.pyplot.close Example')
plt.show()


Difference Between cla(), clf() and close() Methods in Matplotlib

Matplotlib is a library in Python. It is a mathematical extension of the Numpy Library. It is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module. The Pyplot can create many types of plots such as line graphs, bar graphs, histograms, etc. The cla(), clf() and close() are different methods and functions of Matplotlib.
