### Plot only 1 sigma or 2 sigma contours

Hello,

In a context of covariane matrix with Fisher's formism, I would like to plot, with triangle_plot function only 1 sigma contour or 2 sigma contours, not the both in the same time.

Here is below my current code snippet that plots 1 and 2 sigma at the same time of 2 covariance matrixes (matrix1 and matrix 2) :

Code: Select all

# Call triplot
g.triangle_plot([matrix1, matrix2],
names,
filled = True,
legend_labels = ['1240', '1565'],
legend_loc = 'upper right',
contour_colors = ['red','darkblue'],
line_args = [{'lw':2, 'color':'red'},
{'lw':2, 'color':'darkblue'}],
)
I saw during my researches a paramater called contour_levels for example in the function add_2d_contours but I don't know how to use it
in triangle_plot for plotting only 1 or 2 sigma contours.

If anyone could help, this would be fine.

You can set "contours" in analysis settings to determine which contours are calculated (and then numbered 0, 1,2.. in getdist plotting):

"num_plot_contours" in the plot settings determines which are actually plotted

As usually, thanks Antony.

Step by step, all the answers I got help me a lot to produce almost the rendering I want.

Below a figure of what I get for the moment :

Remains now 2 issues to solve :

1) keep an equi-distant space between each subplot (box) : that's not the case as you can see it in above figure and I don't know which parameter I have to modify or to assign that controls the space between each subplot.

I tried to manually set a space character :

Code: Select all

      spacex = '  '
spacey = '  '
ax.set_xlabel(spacex, rotation=0, fontsize=20, labelpad=15)
But unfortulately, this doesn't work. Have you got another idea ?

2) Find a way to set the priority of 2 sigma red filled (red = Lower Figure of Merit = FoM) zone on 1 sigma blue shaded filled (blue = Higher Figure of Merit = FoM) zone in the following figure :

This issue 2) makes reference to the following post : [url]viewtopic.php?t=3374[url]

Indeed, I would like to have the same behabior than this other image got by another team (don't take into account of yellow contours).

You can see that 2 sigma blue filled zone (Lower FoM) is over the 1 sigma red filled zone (Higher FoM), and so not shaded like in my current situation.

Anyone help about theses 2 issues would be fine.
