Python 画图存储（savefig）
比如现在有3个文档，每个文档都可以画一幅图，我想用循环语句，实现对这3副图的存储，但是有一个问题，就是第一幅图存完以后，当画第二幅图的时候，第一幅的图画会继续保留到第二幅图，之后的图也是如此，等到第3副图的时候就是前3副图的累积了。
具体例子：有TRACE983，TRACE984，TRACE985三个文档，我想以文档的第一列为X轴，第2-4列为Y轴作图，每个文档一幅图，输出图以983,984,985命名。
from pylab import *
from scipy import *
from numpy import *
f=['983','984','985']
for i in range(len(f)):
a=loadtxt('TRACE'+str(f[i])+'.csv',skiprows=15,delimiter=',')[:416].transpose()
x=a[0]
y1=a[1]
y2=a[2]
y3=a[3]
plot(x,y1)
plot(x,y2)
plot(x,y3)
savefig(str(f[i]))
最后输出的三幅图是这样的 展开
你可以安装python的第三方应用 chartdirector, 如下面用python代码生成多个曲线的png图形，并可以自定义layout.

建议你用面向对象的方式去画图，一个图作为一个对象，这样每次调用一个对象的保存图片方法就可以只保存当前图片。
你这种用法第三张图会有三个子图是因为三个子图都画在同一个对象上。
为了将面向对象的绘图库包装成只使用函数的调用接口，pyplot模块的内部保存了当前图表以及当前子图等信息。当前的图表和子图可以使用gcf()和gca()获得，它们分别是“Get Current Figure”和“Get Current Axis”的开头字母缩写。gcf()获得的是表示图表的Figure对象，而gca()则获得的是表示子图的Axes对象。下面我们在IPython中运行上节的“matplotlib_simple_plot.py”程序，然后调用gcf()和gca()查看当前的Figure和Axes对象。
给你个例子
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(1) # 创建图表1
plt.figure(2) # 创建图表2
ax1 = plt.subplot(211) # 在图表2中创建子图1
ax2 = plt.subplot(212) # 在图表2中创建子图2
x = np.linspace(0, 3, 100)
for i in xrange(5):
plt.figure(1) ❶ # 选择图表1
plt.plot(x, np.exp(i*x/3))
plt.sca(ax1) ❷ # 选择图表2的子图1
plt.plot(x, np.sin(i*x))
plt.sca(ax2) # 选择图表2的子图2
plt.plot(x, np.cos(i*x))
plt.show()
