mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator.mark_inset

mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator.mark_inset(parent_axes, inset_axes, loc1, loc2, **kwargs) [source]

Draw a box to mark the location of an area represented by an inset axes.

This function draws a box in parent_axes at the bounding box of inset_axes, and shows a connection with the inset axes by drawing lines at the corners, giving a "zoomed in" effect.

Parameters:

parent_axes : matplotlib.axes.Axes Axes which contains the area of the inset axes. inset_axes : matplotlib.axes.Axes The inset axes. loc1, loc2 : {1, 2, 3, 4} Corners to use for connecting the inset axes and the area in the parent axes. **kwargs Patch properties for the lines and box drawn: Property Description agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array alpha float or None animated bool antialiased unknown capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'} clip_box Bbox clip_on bool clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None] color color contains callable edgecolor color or None or 'auto' facecolor color or None figure Figure fill bool gid str hatch {'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'} in_layout bool joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'} label object linestyle {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...} linewidth float or None for default path_effects AbstractPathEffect picker None or bool or float or callable rasterized bool or None sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float) snap bool or None transform Transform url str visible bool zorder float

Returns:

pp : matplotlib.patches.Patch The patch drawn to represent the area of the inset axes. p1, p2 : matplotlib.patches.Patch The patches connecting two corners of the inset axes and its area.
