Hi there, I would like to overlay some boxplots onto a time series.
I have tried pylab.hold(True) in between the two plots in my code but this hasn't worked. The problem is that the x-axes of the boxplots and the time series are not the same. Code for time series: python2.7 import netCDF4 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np swh_Q0_con_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q0/swh/controlperiod/south_west/swhcontrol_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q0_con_sw=swh_Q0_con_sw.variables['hs'][:] year_con=swh_Q0_con_sw.variables['year'][:] swh_Q3_con_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q3/swh/controlperiod/south_west/swhcontrol_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q3_con_sw=swh_Q3_con_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q4_con_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q4/swh/controlperiod/south_west/swhcontrol_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q4_con_sw=swh_Q4_con_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q14_con_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q14/swh/controlperiod/south_west/swhcontrol_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q14_con_sw=swh_Q14_con_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q16_con_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q16/swh/controlperiod/south_west/swhcontrol_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q16_con_sw=swh_Q16_con_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q0_fut_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q0/swh/2050s/south_west/swh2050s_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q0_fut_sw=swh_Q0_fut_sw.variables['hs'][:] year_fut=swh_Q0_fut_sw.variables['year'][:] swh_Q3_fut_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q3/swh/2050s/south_west/swh2050s_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q3_fut_sw=swh_Q3_fut_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q4_fut_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q4/swh/2050s/south_west/swh2050s_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q4_fut_sw=swh_Q4_fut_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q14_fut_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q14/swh/2050s/south_west/swh2050s_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q14_fut_sw=swh_Q14_fut_sw.variables['hs'][:] swh_Q16_fut_sw=netCDF4.Dataset('/data/cr1/jmitchel/Q16/swh/2050s/south_west/swh2050s_swest_annavg1D.nc','r') hs_Q16_fut_sw=swh_Q16_fut_sw.variables['hs'][:] fit_Q0_con_sw=np.polyfit(year_con,hs_Q0_con_sw,1) fit_fn_Q0_con_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q0_con_sw) plt.plot(year_con,hs_Q0_con_sw,'g.') plt.plot(year_con,fit_fn_Q0_con_sw(year_con),'g',label='Q0 no pert') fit_Q3_con_sw=np.polyfit(year_con,hs_Q3_con_sw,1) fit_fn_Q3_con_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q3_con_sw) plt.plot(year_con,hs_Q3_con_sw,'b.') plt.plot(year_con,fit_fn_Q3_con_sw(year_con),'b',label='Q3 low sens') fit_Q4_con_sw=np.polyfit(year_con,hs_Q4_con_sw,1) fit_fn_Q4_con_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q4_con_sw) plt.plot(year_con,hs_Q4_con_sw,'y.') plt.plot(year_con,fit_fn_Q4_con_sw(year_con),'y',label='Q4 low sens') fit_Q14_con_sw=np.polyfit(year_con,hs_Q14_con_sw,1) fit_fn_Q14_con_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q14_con_sw) plt.plot(year_con,hs_Q14_con_sw,'r.') plt.plot(year_con,fit_fn_Q14_con_sw(year_con),'r',label='Q14 high sens') fit_Q16_con_sw=np.polyfit(year_con,hs_Q16_con_sw,1) fit_fn_Q16_con_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q16_con_sw) plt.plot(year_con,hs_Q16_con_sw,'c.') plt.plot(year_con,fit_fn_Q16_con_sw(year_con),'c',label='Q16 high sens') fit_Q0_fut_sw=np.polyfit(year_fut,hs_Q0_fut_sw,1) fit_fn_Q0_fut_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q0_fut_sw) plt.plot(year_fut,hs_Q0_fut_sw,'g.') plt.plot(year_fut,fit_fn_Q0_fut_sw(year_fut),'g') fit_Q3_fut_sw=np.polyfit(year_fut,hs_Q3_fut_sw,1) fit_fn_Q3_fut_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q3_fut_sw) plt.plot(year_fut,hs_Q3_fut_sw,'b.') plt.plot(year_fut,fit_fn_Q3_fut_sw(year_fut),'b') fit_Q4_fut_sw=np.polyfit(year_fut,hs_Q4_fut_sw,1) fit_fn_Q4_fut_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q4_fut_sw) plt.plot(year_fut,hs_Q4_fut_sw,'y.') plt.plot(year_fut,fit_fn_Q4_fut_sw(year_fut),'y') fit_Q14_fut_sw=np.polyfit(year_fut,hs_Q14_fut_sw,1) fit_fn_Q14_fut_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q14_fut_sw) plt.plot(year_fut,hs_Q14_fut_sw,'r.') plt.plot(year_fut,fit_fn_Q14_fut_sw(year_fut),'y') fit_Q16_fut_sw=np.polyfit(year_fut,hs_Q16_fut_sw,1) fit_fn_Q16_fut_sw=np.poly1d(fit_Q16_fut_sw) plt.plot(year_fut,hs_Q16_fut_sw,'c.') plt.plot(year_fut,fit_fn_Q16_fut_sw(year_fut),'c') plt.legend(loc='best') plt.xlabel('Year') plt.ylabel('Significant Wave Height annual averages SW England') plt.title('Time series of Significant Wave Height') plt.show() Code for boxplots: python2.7 from pylab import * import netCDF4 data=(hs_Q0_con_sw,hs_Q3_con_sw,hs_Q4_con_sw,hs_Q14_con_sw,hs_Q16_con_sw) figure(1) boxplot(data) labels=('QO no pert','Q3 low sens','Q4 low sens','Q14 high sens','Q16 high sens') xticks(range(1,6),labels,rotation=15) xlabel('Ensemble Member') ylabel('Significant Wave Height Annual Average') title('Significant Wave Height SW England 1981-2010') show() If anybody knows how I could integrate these two plots I would be eternally grateful!
