### 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

Dear Antony, I think that it may be the trick to apply.

Do you think that if I can call several times the function triangle_plot respecting an order in the image rendering (one covariance matrix per each call), i.e I mean for example, the first call is the lower z-index which would correspond to the highest size of ellipse , the second one to a lower size of ellipse, and so on up to the smallest ellipse, therefore it would allow me to set a priority like I describe it in my last post viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3392 ?

Indeed, in this recent post, I already talk about the possibility to call several times the function triangle_plot and how to overlap the contours this way.
