toyplot.broadcast module

Functions for broadcasting values into 1D or 2D arrays.

The functions in this module are used by Toyplot to handle the conversion from constant, per-series, and per-datum values into their canonical 1D and 2D array representations.

toyplot.broadcast.pyobject(value, shape)[source]

Return a 1D or 2D array of objects with the given shape.

Parameters:shape ((tuple)) – Shape of the desired output array. A 1-tuple will produce a 1D output vector containing \(N\) per-series values. A 2-tuple will produce an \(M \times N\) output matrix of per-datum values grouped into \(N\) series.
Returns:array
Return type:numpy.ndarray
toyplot.broadcast.scalar(value, shape)[source]

Return a 1D or 2D array of floats with the given shape.

Parameters:shape ((tuple)) – Shape of the desired output array. A 1-tuple will produce a 1D output vector containing \(N\) per-series values. A 2-tuple will produce an \(M \times N\) output matrix of per-datum values grouped into \(N\) series.
Returns:array
Return type:numpy.ndarray
