pylipid.plot.plot_surface_area

pylipid.plot.plot_surface_area(surface_area, fig_fn, timeunit=None, fig_close=False)[source]

Plot binding site surface area as a function of time.

The provided surface_area needs to be a pandas.DataFrame object, which has columns named as “Binding Site {idx}” to record binding site surface areas and a column named “Time” to record the timesteps at which the surface area data are taken.

Parameters

  • surface_area (pandas.DataFrame) – A pandas.DataFrame object which has columns named as “Binding Site {idx}” to record binding site surface areas and a column named “Time” to record the timesteps at which the surface area data

  • fig_fn (str) – Figure filename.

  • timeunit ({"ns", "us"} or None, optional, default=None) – Time unit shown in x label.

  • fig_close (bool, optional, default=False) – Use plt.close() to close the figure. Can be used to save memory if many figures are opened.
