Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.
Matplotlib.axis.Tick.set_sketch_params() Function
The Tick.set_sketch_params() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to sets the sketch parameters.
Syntax: Tick.set_sketch_params(self, scale=None, length=None, randomness=None)
Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.
- scale: This parameter is the amplitude of the wiggle perpendicular to the source line, in pixels.
- length: This parameter is the length of the wiggle along the line, in pixels.
- randomness: This parameter is the scale factor by which the length is shrunken or expanded.
Return value: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.set_sketch_params() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.axis import Tick import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.colors as mcolors import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec import numpy as np plt.rcParams['savefig.facecolor'] = "0.8"plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = 6, 5 fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.plot([1, 2, 3, 4, 5] , [2, 3,6,2,5]) ax.locator_params("x", nbins = 3) ax.locator_params("y", nbins = 5) ax.set_xlabel('x-label') ax.set_ylabel('y-label') Tick.set_sketch_params(ax, 50, 50, 10) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Tick.set_sketch_params() \ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
