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_axesmatplotlib.axes.Axes Axes which contains the area of the inset axes. inset_axesmatplotlib.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 or aa unknown capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'} clip_box Bbox clip_on bool clip_path Patch or (Path, Transform) or None color color contains unknown edgecolor or ec color or None or 'auto' facecolor or fc color or None figure Figure fill bool gid str hatch {'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'} in_layout bool joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'} label object linestyle or ls {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...} linewidth or lw float or None path_effects AbstractPathEffect picker None or bool 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:

ppmatplotlib.patches.Patch The patch drawn to represent the area of the inset axes. p1, p2matplotlib.patches.Patch The patches connecting two corners of the inset axes and its area.
