colour.plotting.plot_thin_film_comparison

colour.plotting.plot_thin_film_comparison(configurations: Sequence[Dict[str, Any]], shape: SpectralShape = SPECTRAL_SHAPE_DEFAULT, polarisation: Literal['S', 'P', 'Both'] | str = 'Both', **kwargs: Any) → Tuple[Figure, Axes]

Plot comparison of multiple thin film configurations.

Parameters:

• configurations (Sequence[Dict[str, Any]]) –

  List of dictionaries, each containing parameters for a thin film configuration.

  • Single layer: {'type': 'single', 'n_film': float, 't': float, 'n_substrate': float, 'label': str}

  • Multilayer: {'type': 'multilayer', 'refractive_indices': array, 't': array, 'n_substrate': float, 'label': str}

• shape (SpectralShape) – Spectral shape for wavelength sampling.

• polarisation (Literal['S', 'P', 'Both'] | str) – Polarisation to plot: ‘S’, ‘P’, or ‘Both’ (case-insensitive).

• kwargs (Any) – {colour.plotting.artist(), colour.plotting.render()}, See the documentation of the previously listed definitions.

Returns:

Current figure and axes.

Return type:

tuple
