materials.plot_utils.plot_property_vs_state(prop, state_model=None, state_name=None, state_range=None, value_for_other_state=None, axes=None, **pyplot_kwargs)[source]

Plot a state-dependent property.

Parameters:
  • prop (Property) – The property to plot.
  • state_model (string) – The name of the state model to plot from (i.e. a key of variations_with_state)
  • state_name (string) – Name of the state variable to plot the property value against.
  • state_range (tuple of length 2) – Range of state variable values to plot over (low, high).
  • value_for_other_state (scalar) – If the property depends on two states, fix the other state at this value.
  • axes (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – Axes to plot on. Makes a new figure if axes is None.

Other keyword arguments are passed to pyplot.plot.

Returns:The axes on which the plot was drawn.
Return type:matplotlib.axes.Axes
