Plotting

driada.recurrence.plotting.plot_recurrence(rg, ax=None, markersize=0.5, color='black', **kwargs)[source]

Plot a recurrence matrix as a spy plot.

Uses matplotlib’s spy() for efficient rendering of sparse binary matrices.

Parameters:

  • rg (RecurrenceGraph or Network) – Object with .adj sparse adjacency matrix.

  • ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional) – Axis to plot on. If None, creates new figure.

  • markersize (float, default=0.5) – Size of recurrence dots.

  • color (str, default='black') – Color of recurrence dots.

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to ax.spy().

Returns:

  • fig (matplotlib.figure.Figure or None) – Figure (None if ax was provided).

  • ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – Axes with the plot.
