new_pulse_fig(figsize: Tuple[int, int] | None = None, ax: matplotlib.axes.Axes | None = None) Tuple[matplotlib.figure.Figure, matplotlib.axes.Axes | List[matplotlib.axes.Axes]][source]#

Open a new figure and configure it to plot pulse schemes.

Parameters:
  • figsize – Size of the figure.

  • ax – Axis to use for plotting. If None, then creates a new one.

Returns:

Tuple of figure handle and axis handle.

new_pulse_subplot(fig: matplotlib.figure.Figure, *args, **kwargs) matplotlib.axes.Axes[source]#

Add a new subplot configured for plotting pulse schemes to a figure.

All *args and **kwargs are passed to fig.add_subplot.

Parameters:
  • fig – Figure to add the subplot to.

  • *args – Positional arguments to pass to fig.add_subplot.

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments to pass to fig.add_subplot.
