The code examples and results presented in this tutorial have been implemented in a Jupyter Notebook with a python (version 3.8.3) kernel having matplotlib version 3.2.In the past few weeks, I discussed the new HG2 axes Backdrop and Baseline properties with their associated ability to specify the transparency level using a fourth (undocumented) element in their Color. With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. You can notice that this image easily blends in with the colored background since it’s transparent.įor more on the matploblib’s savefig() function, refer to its documentation. Plt.savefig("employee_growth_tp.png", transparent=True) # save the plot as a PNG image with Transparent background Now let’s go ahead and plot the same line plot but this time we’ll save it with a transparent background. Saving a plot with transparent background You can see that the plot has its own white background, over and above the colored background. This is how the above saved image looks if we place it over a colored background. The below code creates a line chart of year-on-year employee growth at a company. Let’s create a sample line chart in matplotlib and save it as an image file without explicitly passing a value to the transparent keyword. Saving a plot with its default background
Let’s look at some examples to illustrate the usage of the above syntax. Note that the default value of the transparent argument is False. The above syntax assumes that “matplotlib.pyplot” is imported as “plt”. The following is the syntax: plt.savefig("filename.png", transparent=True) You can use the transparent argument to specify whether or not you want a transparent background for your saved image. The matplotlib pyplot’s savefig() function is used to save a plot as a file.
Export matplotlib image with a transparent background In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to save a matplotlib figure as a PNG image with a transparent background. The default background for matplotlib plots is white, you can change the background colors of the plot, and you can also save your plots with a transparent background.
