perfplot extends Python's [timeit](https://docs.python.org/3/library/timeit.html) by
testing snippets with input parameters (e.g., the size of an array) and plotting the
results.

For example, to compare different NumPy array concatenation methods, the script
```python
import numpy as np
import perfplot

perfplot.show(
    setup=lambda n: np.random.rand(n),  # or setup=np.random.rand
    kernels=[
        lambda a: np.c_[a, a],
        lambda a: np.stack([a, a]).T,
        lambda a: np.vstack([a, a]).T,
        lambda a: np.column_stack([a, a]),
        lambda a: np.concatenate([a[:, None], a[:, None]], axis=1),
    ],
    labels=["c_", "stack", "vstack", "column_stack", "concat"],
    n_range=[2 ** k for k in range(25)],
    xlabel="len(a)",
    # More optional arguments with their default values:
    # logx="auto",  # set to True or False to force scaling
    # logy="auto",
    # equality_check=np.allclose,  # set to None to disable "correctness" assertion
    # show_progress=True,
    # target_time_per_measurement=1.0,
    # max_time=None,  # maximum time per measurement
    # time_unit="s",  # set to one of ("auto", "s", "ms", "us", or "ns") to force plot units
    # relative_to=1,  # plot the timings relative to one of the measurements
    # flops=lambda n: 3*n,  # FLOPS plots
)
```
produces

Clearly, `stack` and `vstack` are the best options for large arrays.

(By default, perfplot asserts the equality of the output of all snippets, too.)

If your plot takes a while to generate, you can also use
<!--pytest-codeblocks:skip-->
```python
perfplot.live(
    # ...
)
```
<img alt="live" src="https://nschloe.github.io/perfplot/live.gif" width="40%">

with the same arguments as above. It will plot the updates live.

Benchmarking and plotting can be separated. This allows multiple plots of the same data,
for example:
<!--pytest-codeblocks:skip-->
```python
out = perfplot.bench(
    # same arguments as above (except the plot-related ones, like time_unit or log*)
)
out.show()
out.save("perf.png", transparent=True, bbox_inches="tight")
```
