Python equivalent to 'hold on' in Matlab

graph, matlab, matplotlib, python

Solution

Just call `plt.show()` at the end:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.axis([0,50,60,80])
for i in np.arange(1,5):
    z = 68 + 4 * np.random.randn(50)
    zm = np.cumsum(z) / range(1,len(z)+1)
    plt.plot(zm)    

n = np.arange(1,51)
su = 68 + 4 / np.sqrt(n)
sl = 68 - 4 / np.sqrt(n)

plt.plot(n,su,n,sl)

plt.show()

Problem

Is there an explicit equivalent command in Python's matplotlib for Matlab's `hold on`? I'm trying to plot all my graphs on the same axes. Some graphs are generated inside a `for` loop, and these are plotted separately from `su` and `sl`: ``` import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt for i in np.arange(1,5): z = 68 + 4 * np.random.randn(50) zm = np.cumsum(z) / range(1,len(z)+1) plt.plot(zm) plt.axis([0,50,60,80]) plt.show() n = np.arange(1,51) su = 68 + 4 / np.sqrt(n) sl = 68 - 4 / np.sqrt(n) plt.plot(n,su,n,sl) plt.axis([0,50,60,80]) plt.show() ```
