Choosing the thumbnail figure#
This example demonstrates how to choose the figure that is displayed as the
thumbnail, if the example generates more than one figure. This is done by
specifying the keyword-value pair
sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = <fig number>
as a
comment somewhere below the docstring in the example file. In this example, we
specify that we wish for the second figure to be the thumbnail.

x = np.linspace(-1, 2, 100)

# The next line sets the thumbnail for the second figure in the gallery

# sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = 2

plt.plot(x, -np.exp(-x), color='orange', linewidth=4)

plt.ylabel('$-\exp(-x)$')
# To avoid matplotlib text output
plt.show()
