I am trying to save multiple histograms while iterating through a loop but it just ends up saving as a blank image. I tried the exact same code outside the loop and it seems to work, so I'm not sure why it's not working in the loop.
This is what I have right now
for x in range(len(7)):
plt.figure(figsize = (10, 6))
hist, bins, patches = plt.hist(list[x], 100)
plt.title('pol frac reg '+ str(x))
plt.show()
plt.savefig('pol_frac_' + str(x))
When you show an image, it clears it afterwards. As explained in the Matplotlib documentation:
If you want an image file as well as a user interface window, use pyplot.savefig before pyplot.show. At the end of (a blocking) show() the figure is closed and thus unregistered from pyplot. Calling pyplot.savefig afterwards would save a new and thus empty figure.
Try to save first, and then show:
for x in range(len(7)):
plt.figure(figsize = (10, 6))
hist, bins, patches = plt.hist(list[x], 100)
plt.title('pol frac reg '+ str(x))
plt.savefig('pol_frac_' + str(x))
plt.show()
