autoscale_None()#

Autoscale the scalar limits on the norm instance using the current array, changing only limits that are None

property axes#

The ~.axes.Axes instance the artist resides in, or None.

contains(mouseevent)#

Test whether the mouse event occurred in the collection.

Returns bool, dict(ind=itemlist), where every item in itemlist contains the event.

Convert x using the unit type of the xaxis.

If the artist is not contained in an Axes or if the xaxis does not have units, x itself is returned.

convert_yunits(y)#

Convert y using the unit type of the yaxis.

If the artist is not contained in an Axes or if the yaxis does not have units, y itself is returned.

draw(renderer)[source]#

Draw the Artist (and its children) using the given renderer.

This has no effect if the artist is not visible (.Artist.get_visible returns False).

Parameters:

renderer (~matplotlib.backend_bases.RendererBase subclass.)

Notes

This method is overridden in the Artist subclasses.

findobj(match=None, include_self=True)#

Find artist objects.

Recursively find all .Artist instances contained in the artist.

Parameters:
  • match

    A filter criterion for the matches. This can be

    • None: Return all objects contained in artist.

    • A function with signature def match(artist: Artist) -> bool. The result will only contain artists for which the function returns True.

    • A class instance: e.g., .Line2D. The result will only contain artists of this class or its subclasses (isinstance check).

  • include_self (bool) – Include self in the list to be checked for a match.

Note

This method is intended to be overridden by artist subclasses. As an end-user of Matplotlib you will most likely not call this method yourself.

The default implementation converts ints and floats and arrays of ints and floats into a comma-separated string enclosed in square brackets, unless the artist has an associated colorbar, in which case scalar values are formatted using the colorbar’s formatter.

Subclasses can override the method and return arbitrary data. However, when doing so, they must ensure that .format_cursor_data can convert the data to a string representation.

The only current use case is displaying the z-value of an .AxesImage in the status bar of a plot window, while moving the mouse.

Parameters:

event (~matplotlib.backend_bases.MouseEvent)

get_dashes()#

Alias for get_linestyle.

get_ec()#

Alias for get_edgecolor.

Return the clip path with the non-affine part of its transformation applied, and the remaining affine part of its transformation.

get_url()#

Return the url.

get_urls()#

Return a list of URLs, one for each element of the collection.

The list contains None for elements without a URL. See /gallery/misc/hyperlinks_sgskip for an example.

get_visible()#

Return the visibility.

get_window_extent(renderer=None)#

Get the artist’s bounding box in display space.

The bounding box’ width and height are nonnegative.

Subclasses should override for inclusion in the bounding box “tight” calculation. Default is to return an empty bounding box at 0, 0.

Be careful when using this function, the results will not update if the artist window extent of the artist changes. The extent can change due to any changes in the transform stack, such as changing the axes limits, the figure size, or the canvas used (as is done when saving a figure). This can lead to unexpected behavior where interactive figures will look fine on the screen, but will save incorrectly.

Return whether the Artist has an explicitly set transform.

This is True after .set_transform has been called.

pchanged()#

Call all of the registered callbacks.

This function is triggered internally when a property is changed.

pick(mouseevent)#

Process a pick event.

Each child artist will fire a pick event if mouseevent is over the artist and the artist has picker set.

pickable()#

Return whether the artist is pickable.

properties()#

Return a dictionary of all the properties of the artist.

remove()#

Remove the artist from the figure if possible.

The effect will not be visible until the figure is redrawn, e.g., with .FigureCanvasBase.draw_idle. Call ~.axes.Axes.relim to update the axes limits if desired.

Note: ~.axes.Axes.relim will not see collections even if the collection was added to the axes with autolim = True.

Note: there is no support for removing the artist’s legend entry.

remove_callback(oid)#

Remove a callback based on its observer id.

set_animated(b)#

Set whether the artist is intended to be used in an animation.

If True, the artist is excluded from regular drawing of the figure. You have to call .Figure.draw_artist / .Axes.draw_artist explicitly on the artist. This approach is used to speed up animations using blitting.

See also matplotlib.animation and blitting.

Parameters:

b (bool)

set_antialiased(aa)#

set_clip_box(clipbox)#

Set the artist’s clip .Bbox.

Parameters:

clipbox (~matplotlib.transforms.BboxBase or None) – Will typically be created from a .TransformedBbox. For instance, TransformedBbox(Bbox([[0, 0], [1, 1]]), ax.transAxes) is the default clipping for an artist added to an Axes.

set_clip_on(b)#

Set whether the artist uses clipping.

When False, artists will be visible outside the Axes which can lead to unexpected results.

Parameters:

b (bool)

set_clip_path(path, transform=None)#

Set the artist’s clip path.

Parameters:
  • path (~matplotlib.patches.Patch or .Path or .TransformedPath or None) – The clip path. If given a .Path, transform must be provided as well. If None, a previously set clip path is removed.

  • transform (~matplotlib.transforms.Transform, optional) – Only used if path is a .Path, in which case the given .Path is converted to a .TransformedPath using transform.

Notes

For efficiency, if path is a .Rectangle this method will set the clipping box to the corresponding rectangle and set the clipping path to None.

For technical reasons (support of ~.Artist.set), a tuple (path, transform) is also accepted as a single positional parameter.

  • A boolean: If True then picking will be enabled and the artist will fire a pick event if the mouse event is over the artist.

  • A float: If picker is a number it is interpreted as an epsilon tolerance in points and the artist will fire off an event if its data is within epsilon of the mouse event. For some artists like lines and patch collections, the artist may provide additional data to the pick event that is generated, e.g., the indices of the data within epsilon of the pick event

  • A function: If picker is callable, it is a user supplied function which determines whether the artist is hit by the mouse event:

    hit, props = picker(artist, mouseevent)
    

    to determine the hit test. if the mouse event is over the artist, return hit=True and props is a dictionary of properties you want added to the PickEvent attributes.

set_pickradius(pickradius)#

Set the pick radius used for containment tests.

Parameters:

pickradius (float) – Pick radius, in points.

set_rasterized(rasterized)#

Force rasterized (bitmap) drawing for vector graphics output.

Rasterized drawing is not supported by all artists. If you try to enable this on an artist that does not support it, the command has no effect and a warning will be issued.

This setting is ignored for pixel-based output.

See also /gallery/misc/rasterization_demo.

Parameters:

rasterized (bool)

set_sketch_params(scale=None, length=None, randomness=None)#

Set the sketch parameters.

Parameters:
  • scale (float, optional) – The amplitude of the wiggle perpendicular to the source line, in pixels. If scale is None, or not provided, no sketch filter will be provided.

  • length (float, optional) – The length of the wiggle along the line, in pixels (default 128.0)

  • randomness (float, optional) –

    The scale factor by which the length is shrunken or expanded (default 16.0)

    The PGF backend uses this argument as an RNG seed and not as described above. Using the same seed yields the same random shape.

set_snap(snap)#

Set the snapping behavior.

Snapping aligns positions with the pixel grid, which results in clearer images. For example, if a black line of 1px width was defined at a position in between two pixels, the resulting image would contain the interpolated value of that line in the pixel grid, which would be a grey value on both adjacent pixel positions. In contrast, snapping will move the line to the nearest integer pixel value, so that the resulting image will really contain a 1px wide black line.

Snapping is currently only supported by the Agg and MacOSX backends.

Parameters:

snap (bool or None) –

Possible values:

  • True: Snap vertices to the nearest pixel center.

  • False: Do not modify vertex positions.

  • None: (auto) If the path contains only rectilinear line segments, round to the nearest pixel center.

set_transOffset(offset_transform)#

Alias for set_offset_transform.

set_transform(t)#

Set the artist transform.

Parameters:

t (~matplotlib.transforms.Transform)

set_url(url)#

Set the url for the artist.

Parameters:

url (str)

set_urls(urls)#
Parameters:

urls (list of str or None)

Notes

URLs are currently only implemented by the SVG backend. They are ignored by all other backends.

set_visible(b)#

Set the artist’s visibility.

Parameters:

b (bool)

set_zorder(level)#

Set the zorder for the artist. Artists with lower zorder values are drawn first.

Parameters:

level (float)

property stale#

Whether the artist is ‘stale’ and needs to be re-drawn for the output to match the internal state of the artist.

property sticky_edges#

x and y sticky edge lists for autoscaling.

When performing autoscaling, if a data limit coincides with a value in the corresponding sticky_edges list, then no margin will be added–the view limit “sticks” to the edge. A typical use case is histograms, where one usually expects no margin on the bottom edge (0) of the histogram.

Moreover, margin expansion “bumps” against sticky edges and cannot cross them. For example, if the upper data limit is 1.0, the upper view limit computed by simple margin application is 1.2, but there is a sticky edge at 1.1, then the actual upper view limit will be 1.1.

This attribute cannot be assigned to; however, the x and y lists can be modified in place as needed.

Examples

>>> artist.sticky_edges.x[:] = (xmin, xmax)
>>> artist.sticky_edges.y[:] = (ymin, ymax)
to_rgba(x, alpha=None, bytes=False, norm=True)#

Return a normalized RGBA array corresponding to x.

In the normal case, x is a 1D or 2D sequence of scalars, and the corresponding ~numpy.ndarray of RGBA values will be returned, based on the norm and colormap set for this ScalarMappable.

There is one special case, for handling images that are already RGB or RGBA, such as might have been read from an image file. If x is an ~numpy.ndarray with 3 dimensions, and the last dimension is either 3 or 4, then it will be treated as an RGB or RGBA array, and no mapping will be done. The array can be ~numpy.uint8, or it can be floats with values in the 0-1 range; otherwise a ValueError will be raised. If it is a masked array, any masked elements will be set to 0 alpha. If the last dimension is 3, the alpha kwarg (defaulting to 1) will be used to fill in the transparency. If the last dimension is 4, the alpha kwarg is ignored; it does not replace the preexisting alpha. A ValueError will be raised if the third dimension is other than 3 or 4.

In either case, if bytes is False (default), the RGBA array will be floats in the 0-1 range; if it is True, the returned RGBA array will be ~numpy.uint8 in the 0 to 255 range.

If norm is False, no normalization of the input data is performed, and it is assumed to be in the range (0-1).

update(props)#

Update this artist’s properties from the dict props.

Parameters:

props (dict)

update_from(other)#

Copy properties from other to self.

update_scalarmappable()#

Update colors from the scalar mappable array, if any.

Assign colors to edges and faces based on the array and/or colors that were directly set, as appropriate.
