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, heightint or float width and height of the container, in pixels. xdescent, ydescentint or float descent of the container in the x- and y- direction, in pixels. locint 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 padint or float, optional Padding around the child objects, in fraction of the font size. Defaults to 0.4. borderpadint or float, optional Border padding, in fraction of the font size. Defaults to 0.5. propmatplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties, optional Font property used as a reference for paddings. frameonbool, 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_areamatplotlib.offsetbox.DrawingArea A container for artists to display.
