To change the default path for "save the figure", we can use rcParams["savefig.directory"] to set the directory path.
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create random data using numpy.
- Use imshow() method. Display the data as an image, i.e., on a 2D regular raster.
- Save the figure using plt.savefig() method.
Example
import os import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True dir_name = "C:/Windows/Temp/" plt.rcParams["savefig.directory"] = os.chdir(os.path.dirname(dir_name)) data = np.random.rand(5, 5) plt.imshow(data, cmap="copper") plt.savefig("img.png")
Output
When we execute the code, it will save the following plot as "img.png" in the specified path: " C:/Windows/Temp/"
