Design: Customizing element size and figure size

This example illustrates controlling sizing within an UpSet plot.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

from upsetplot import generate_counts, plot

example = generate_counts()
print(example)

plot(example)
plt.suptitle("Defaults")
plt.show()

cat0   cat1   cat2
False  False  False      56
              True      283
       True   False    1279
              True     5882
True   False  False      24
              True       90
       True   False     429
              True     1957
Name: value, dtype: int64

upsetplot uses a grid of square “elements” to display. Controlling the size of these elements affects all components of the plot.

plot(example, element_size=40)
plt.suptitle("Increased element_size")
plt.show()

When setting figsize explicitly, you then need to pass the figure to plot, and use element_size=None for optimal sizing.

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 3))
plot(example, fig=fig, element_size=None)
plt.suptitle("Setting figsize explicitly")
plt.show()

Components in the plot can be resized by indicating how many elements they should equate to.

plot(example, intersection_plot_elements=3)
plt.suptitle("Decreased intersection_plot_elements")
plt.show()

plot(example, totals_plot_elements=5)
plt.suptitle("Increased totals_plot_elements")
plt.show()
