Matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_on() in Python

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_clip_on() method

The get_clip_on() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get whether the artist uses clipping.

Syntax: Artist.get_clip_on(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method return whether the artist uses clipping.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_on() function in matplotlib:

Example 1:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
import 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() 
     
for e in ells: 
    e.set_alpha(0.1
    ax.add_artist(e) 
         
ax.set_xlim(-1, 5
ax.set_ylim(-1, 5
    
print("Value Return by get_clip_on() : "
      Artist.get_clip_on(ax))  
          
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_on()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold"
  
plt.show()


Output:

Value Return by get_clip_on() :  True

Example 2:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches 
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms 
     
  
x0 = -0.1
     
arrow_style ="simple, head_length = 15, \
head_width = 30, tail_width = 10
    
rect_style ="simple, tail_width = 25"
line_style ="simple, tail_width = 1"
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
     
trans = mtransforms.blended_transform_factory(ax.transAxes, 
                                              ax.transData) 
     
y_tail = 5
y_head = 15
arrow1 = mpatches.FancyArrowPatch((x0, y_tail),  
                                  (x0, y_head),  
                                  arrowstyle = arrow_style, 
                                  transform = trans) 
  
Artist.set_clip_on(arrow1, False
ax.add_patch(arrow1) 
     
ax.set_xlim(0, 30
ax.set_ylim(0, 80
    
print("Value Return by get_clip_on() : "
      Artist.get_clip_on(arrow1))  
          
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_clip_on()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold"
  
plt.show()


Output:

Value Return by get_clip_on() :  False
