Create Collections

Matplotlib collections can be created from pandapower networks with the following functions:

Bus Collections

pandapower.plotting.create_bus_collection(net, buses=None, size=5, marker='o', patch_type='circle', colors=None, z=None, cmap=None, norm=None, infofunc=None, picker=False, bus_geodata=None, cbar_title='Bus Voltage [pu]', **kwargs)

Creates a matplotlib patch collection of pandapower buses.

Input:

net (pandapowerNet) - The pandapower network

OPTIONAL:

buses (list, None) - The buses for which the collections are created. If None, all buses in the network are considered.

size (int, 5) - patch size

marker (str, “o”) - patch marker

patch_type (str, “circle”) - patch type, can be

• “circle” for a circle
• “rect” for a rectangle
• “poly<n>” for a polygon with n edges

infofunc (function, None) - infofunction for the patch element

colors (list, None) - list of colors for every element

cmap - colormap for the patch colors

bus_geodata (DataFrame, None) - coordinates to use for plotting If None, net[“bus_geodata”] is used

picker - picker argument passed to the patch collection

**kwargs - key word arguments are passed to the patch function

Branch Collections

pandapower.plotting.create_line_collection(net, lines=None, line_geodata=None, use_bus_geodata=False, infofunc=None, cmap=None, norm=None, picker=False, z=None, cbar_title='Line Loading [%]', clim=None, **kwargs)

Creates a matplotlib line collection of pandapower lines.

Input:

net (pandapowerNet) - The pandapower network

OPTIONAL:

lines (list, None) - The lines for which the collections are created. If None, all lines in the network are considered.

line_geodata (DataFrame, None) - coordinates to use for plotting If None, net[“line_geodata”] is used

infofunc (function, None) - infofunction for the patch element

**kwargs - key word arguments are passed to the patch function

pandapower.plotting.create_trafo_collection(net, trafos=None, bus_geodata=None, infofunc=None, **kwargs)

Creates a matplotlib line collection of pandapower transformers.

Input:

net (pandapowerNet) - The pandapower network

OPTIONAL:

trafos (list, None) - The transformers for which the collections are created. If None, all transformers in the network are considered.

**kwargs - key word arguments are passed to the patch function
