okay so i decided to put the differences in a jupyter notebook for you to execute and see the difference,Please Note:
**add_layout_image**
is used to add images to the layout of the figure, allowing for precise control over the positioning and layering of the image.
**add_image**
(not used here) would be used to add images directly to the figure, but it is less flexible in terms of positioning and layering compared to **add_layout_image**
.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
# Create a sequence of numbers from 0 to 9
x = np.arange(10)
# Set up a new figure and plotting area
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.subplot(111)
# Draw multiple lines on the same graph
# Each line will be a different multiple of x
for i in range(5):
ax.plot(x, i * x, label='$y = %ix$' % i)
# Add a legend outside the main plot area
ax.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.1, 1.05))
# Display the graph
plt.show()
#pip install plotly
import plotly.graph_objects as go
# Start creating an interactive figure
fig = go.Figure()
# Add the first image to the figure
# This places a semi-transparent placeholder image on the graph
fig.add_layout_image(
dict(
source="https://via.placeholder.com/150",
xref="x",
yref="y",
x=5,
y=5,
sizex=2,
sizey=2,
sizing="stretch",
opacity=0.5,
layer="below"
)
)
# Add a second image to the figure
# Positioned differently from the first image
fig.add_layout_image(
dict(
source="https://via.placeholder.com/150",
xref="x",
yref="y",
x=7,
y=7,
sizex=2,
sizey=2,
sizing="stretch",
opacity=0.5,
layer="below"
)
)
# Set up the graph's viewing area
fig.update_layout(
xaxis=dict(range=[0, 10]),
yaxis=dict(range=[0, 10])
)
# Show the interactive figure
fig.show()
