mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator.zoomed_inset_axes(parent_axes, zoom, loc='upper right', bbox_to_anchor=None, bbox_transform=None, axes_class=None, axes_kwargs=None, borderpad=0.5) [source]

Create an anchored inset axes by scaling a parent axes. For usage, also see the examples.

Parameters:

parent_axesmatplotlib.axes.Axes Axes to place the inset axes. zoomfloat Scaling factor of the data axes. zoom > 1 will enlargen the coordinates (i.e., "zoomed in"), while zoom < 1 will shrink the coordinates (i.e., "zoomed out"). locint or str, default: 'upper right' Location to place the inset axes. The valid locations 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 bbox_to_anchortuple or matplotlib.transforms.BboxBase, optional Bbox that the inset axes will be anchored to. If None, parent_axes.bbox is used. If a tuple, can be either [left, bottom, width, height], or [left, bottom]. If the kwargs width and/or height are specified in relative units, the 2-tuple [left, bottom] cannot be used. Note that the units of the bounding box are determined through the transform in use. When using bbox_to_anchor it almost always makes sense to also specify a bbox_transform. This might often be the axes transform parent_axes.transAxes. bbox_transformmatplotlib.transforms.Transform, optional Transformation for the bbox that contains the inset axes. If None, a transforms.IdentityTransform is used (i.e. pixel coordinates). This is useful when not providing any argument to bbox_to_anchor. When using bbox_to_anchor it almost always makes sense to also specify a bbox_transform. This might often be the axes transform parent_axes.transAxes. Inversely, when specifying the axes- or figure-transform here, be aware that not specifying bbox_to_anchor will use parent_axes.bbox, the units of which are in display (pixel) coordinates. axes_classmatplotlib.axes.Axes type, optional If specified, the inset axes created will be created with this class's constructor. axes_kwargsdict, optional Keyworded arguments to pass to the constructor of the inset axes. Valid arguments include: Property Description adjustable {'box', 'datalim'} 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 anchor 2-tuple of floats or {'C', 'SW', 'S', 'SE', ...} animated bool aspect {'auto'} or num autoscale_on bool autoscalex_on bool autoscaley_on bool axes_locator Callable[[Axes, Renderer], Bbox] axisbelow bool or 'line' box_aspect None, or a number clip_box Bbox clip_on bool clip_path Patch or (Path, Transform) or None contains unknown facecolor or fc color figure Figure frame_on bool gid str in_layout bool label object navigate bool navigate_mode unknown path_effects AbstractPathEffect picker None or bool or callable position [left, bottom, width, height] or Bbox prop_cycle unknown rasterization_zorder float or None rasterized bool or None sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float) snap bool or None title str transform Transform url str visible bool xbound unknown xlabel str xlim (bottom: float, top: float) xmargin float greater than -0.5 xscale {"linear", "log", "symlog", "logit", ...} xticklabels unknown xticks unknown ybound unknown ylabel str ylim (bottom: float, top: float) ymargin float greater than -0.5 yscale {"linear", "log", "symlog", "logit", ...} yticklabels unknown yticks unknown zorder float borderpadfloat, default: 0.5 Padding between inset axes and the bbox_to_anchor. The units are axes font size, i.e. for a default font size of 10 points borderpad = 0.5 is equivalent to a padding of 5 points.

Returns:

inset_axesaxes_class Inset axes object created.
