Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.
The get_clip_box() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get the clipbox.
Syntax: Artist.get_clip_box(self)
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.
Returns: This method return the animated state.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_box() function in matplotlib:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib functionfrom matplotlib.artist import Artistimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse     delta = 45.0    angles = np.arange(0, 360 + delta, delta) ells = [Ellipse((2, 2), 5, 2, a) for a in angles]     fig, ax = plt.subplots()    print("Value Return by get_clip_box()") for e in ells:     Artist.set_clip_box(e, ax.bbox)     print(Artist.get_clip_box(e))     e.set_alpha(0.1)     ax.add_artist(e)     plt.xlim(-1, 5) plt.ylim(-1, 5)          fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_box() \function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() | 
Output:
 
Value Return by get_clip_box()
