nilearn.plotting.plot_design_matrix

nilearn.plotting.plot_design_matrix(design_matrix, rescale=True, axes=None, output_file=None)[source]

Plot a design matrix provided as a pandas.DataFrame.

Parameters:
design matrixpandas.DataFrame

Describes a design matrix.

rescalebool, default=True

Rescale columns magnitude for visualization or not.

axesmatplotlib.axes.Axes or None, default=None

Handle to axes onto which we will draw the design matrix.

output_filestr, or None, optional

The name of an image file to export the plot to. Valid extensions are .png, .pdf, .svg. If output_file is not None, the plot is saved to a file, and the display is closed.

Returns:
axesmatplotlib.axes.Axes

The axes used for plotting.
