mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.anchored_artists.AnchoredDrawingArea

class mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.anchored_artists.AnchoredDrawingArea(width, height, xdescent, ydescent, loc, pad=0.4, borderpad=0.5, prop=None, frameon=True, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.offsetbox.AnchoredOffsetbox

An anchored container with a fixed size and fillable DrawingArea.

Artists added to the drawing_area will have their coordinates interpreted as pixels. Any transformations set on the artists will be overridden.

Parameters:

width, height : int or float width and height of the container, in pixels. xdescent, ydescent : int or float descent of the container in the x- and y- direction, in pixels. loc : int Location of this artist. Valid location codes are: 'upper right' : 1, 'upper left' : 2, 'lower left' : 3, 'lower right' : 4, 'right' : 5, 'center left' : 6, 'center right' : 7, 'lower center' : 8, 'upper center' : 9, 'center' : 10 pad : int or float, optional Padding around the child objects, in fraction of the font size. Defaults to 0.4. borderpad : int or float, optional Border padding, in fraction of the font size. Defaults to 0.5. prop : matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties, optional Font property used as a reference for paddings. frameon : bool, optional If True, draw a box around this artists. Defaults to True. **kwargs : Keyworded arguments to pass to matplotlib.offsetbox.AnchoredOffsetbox.

Examples

To display blue and red circles of different sizes in the upper right of an axes ax:

>>> ada = AnchoredDrawingArea(20, 20, 0, 0,
...                           loc='upper right', frameon=False)
>>> ada.drawing_area.add_artist(Circle((10, 10), 10, fc="b"))
>>> ada.drawing_area.add_artist(Circle((30, 10), 5, fc="r"))
>>> ax.add_artist(ada)

Attributes:	drawing_area : matplotlib.offsetbox.DrawingArea A container for artists to display.
