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.get_children() Method
The get_children() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to return a list of the child Artists of this Artist.
Syntax: Artist.get_children(self)
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Returns: This method return a list of the child Artists of this Artist.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_children() function in matplotlib:
Example 1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.lines import Line2D import numpy as np from numpy.random import rand fig, ax2 = plt.subplots() art = ax2.bar(range(10), rand(10), picker = True) print("List of the child Artists of this Artist \n", *list(art.get_children()), sep ="\n") plt.title("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_children() function Example""", fontweight="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
List of the child Artists of this Artist Rectangle(xy=(-0.4, 0), width=0.8, height=0.58236, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(0.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.305497, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(1.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.650615, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(2.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.397435, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(3.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.634406, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(4.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.377936, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(5.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.229145, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(6.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.755452, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(7.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.954083, angle=0) Rectangle(xy=(8.6, 0), width=0.8, height=0.509706, angle=0)
Example 2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse NUM = 20 ells = [Ellipse(xy = np.random.rand(2) * 10, width = np.random.rand(), height = np.random.rand(), angle = np.random.rand() * 360) for i in range(NUM)] fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw ={'aspect': 'equal'}) print("List of the child Artists of this Artist \n") for e in ells: ax.add_artist(e) e.set_clip_box(ax.bbox) e.set_alpha(np.random.rand()) e.set_facecolor(np.random.rand(4)) print(*list(ax.get_children()), sep = "\n") ax.set_xlim(3, 7) ax.set_ylim(3, 7) plt.title("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_children() function Example""", fontweight="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
List of the child Artists of this Artist
