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.
matplotlib.artist.Artist.draw() method
The draw() method in the artist module of the matplotlib library is used to draw the Artist using the given renderer.
Syntax: Artist.draw(self, renderer, \*args, \*\*kwargs)
Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.
- renderer: This parameter is the RendererBase subclass.
Returns: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.draw() function in matplotlib:
Example 1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig, ax = plt.subplots() def tellme(s): ax.set_title(s, fontsize = 16) fig.canvas.draw() renderer = fig.canvas.renderer Artist.draw(ax, renderer) tellme('matplotlib.artist.Artist.draw() function Example') ax.grid() plt.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection ='3d') X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.1) ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride = 5, cstride = 5) for angle in range(0, 90): ax.view_init(30, angle) fig.canvas.draw() renderer = fig.canvas.renderer Artist.draw(ax, renderer) plt.pause(.001) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.draw() function Example') ax.grid() plt.show() |
Output:
