Ngl.set_values

Sets resource values for a specified plot object.

Prototype

ier = Ngl.set_values(plotid, res)

Arguments

plotid

The identifier returned from calling any object creation function, like Ngl.xy, Ngl.contour_map, or Ngl.open_wks.

res

An instance of the Resources class having PyNGL resources as attributes containing the resources you want to set.

Description

This function sets resource values for a plot object independently from a call to a plotting function. This allows for setting values for resources after a plotting function has been called. For example, if you are creating many plots that differ only in the setting of a given resource, then you can loop over the plots while changing only the appropriate resource.

The first argument is a plot id and the second argument is a resource list.
