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.set_clip_on() method
The set_clip_on() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to set whether the artist uses clipping.
Syntax: Artist.set_clip_on(self, b)
Parameters: This method accepts only one parameters.
- b: This parameter contains the boolean value.
Returns: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_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) Artist.set_clip_on(ax, b = False) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_clip_on()\ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
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 = 5y_head = 15arrow1 = mpatches.FancyArrowPatch((x0, y_tail), (x0, y_head), arrowstyle = arrow_style, transform = trans) Artist.set_clip_on(arrow1, b = False) ax.add_patch(arrow1) ax.set_xlim(0, 30) ax.set_ylim(0, 80) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_clip_on()\ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
