mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.AxisArtist

class mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.AxisArtist(axes, helper, offset=None, axis_direction='bottom', **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.artist.Artist

An artist which draws axis (a line along which the n-th axes coord is constant) line, ticks, ticklabels, and axis label.

Parameters:	axesmpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines.Axes helperAxisArtistHelper

property LABELPAD

ZORDER = 2.5

draw(self, renderer) [source]

Draw the axis lines, tick lines and labels.

get_axisline_style(self) [source]

Return the current axisline style.

get_helper(self) [source]

Return axis artist helper instance.

get_tightbbox(self, renderer) [source]

Like Artist.get_window_extent, but includes any clipping.

Parameters:	rendererRendererBase instance renderer that will be used to draw the figures (i.e. fig.canvas.get_renderer())
Returns:	bboxBbox The enclosing bounding box (in figure pixel co-ordinates).

get_transform(self) [source]

Return the Transform instance used by this artist.

invert_ticklabel_direction(self) [source]

set_axis_direction(self, axis_direction) [source]

Adjust the direction, text angle, text alignment of ticklabels, labels following the matplotlib convention for the rectangle axes.

The axis_direction must be one of [left, right, bottom, top].

property	left	bottom	right	top
ticklabels location	"-"	"+"	"+"	"-"
axislabel location	"-"	"+"	"+"	"-"
ticklabels angle	90	0	-90	180
ticklabel va	center	baseline	center	baseline
ticklabel ha	right	center	right	center
axislabel angle	180	0	0	180
axislabel va	center	top	center	bottom
axislabel ha	right	center	right	center

Note that the direction "+" and "-" are relative to the direction of the increasing coordinate. Also, the text angles are actually relative to (90 + angle of the direction to the ticklabel), which gives 0 for bottom axis.

set_axislabel_direction(self, label_direction) [source]

Adjust the direction of the axislabel.

Note that the label_directions '+' and '-' are relative to the direction of the increasing coordinate.

Parameters:	tick_direction{"+", "-"}

set_axisline_style(self, axisline_style=None, **kwargs) [source]

Set the axisline style.

The new style is completely defined by the passed attributes. Existing style attributes are forgotten.

Parameters:	axisline_stylestr or None The line style, e.g. '->', optionally followed by a comma-separated list of attributes. Alternatively, the attributes can be provided as keywords. If None this returns a string containing the available styles.

Examples

The following two commands are equal: >>> set_axisline_style("->,size=1.5") >>> set_axisline_style("->", size=1.5)

set_label(self, s) [source]

Set a label that will be displayed in the legend.

Parameters:	sobject s will be converted to a string by calling str.

set_ticklabel_direction(self, tick_direction) [source]

Adjust the direction of the ticklabel.

Note that the label_directions '+' and '-' are relative to the direction of the increasing coordinate.

Parameters:	tick_direction{"+", "-"}

toggle(self, all=None, ticks=None, ticklabels=None, label=None) [source]

Toggle visibility of ticks, ticklabels, and (axis) label. To turn all off,

axis.toggle(all=False)

To turn all off but ticks on

axis.toggle(all=False, ticks=True)

To turn all on but (axis) label off

axis.toggle(all=True, label=False))
