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_zorder() method
The set_zorder() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to set the zorder for the artist.
Syntax: Artist.set_zorder(self, level)
Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.
- level: This parameter contains the float value.
Returns: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_zorder() function in matplotlib:
Example 1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt d = np.arange(100).reshape(10, 10) xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(11), np.arange(11)) fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.set_aspect(1) m = ax.pcolormesh(xx, yy, d) Artist.set_zorder(m, -15) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_zorder()\ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.artist import Artist import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt xx = np.random.rand(16, 30) fig, (ax3, ax4) = plt.subplots(1, 2) m = ax3.pcolor(xx) ax3.set_title("No Zorder value ") m = ax4.pcolor(xx) Artist.set_zorder(m, -20) ax4.set_title("Zorder Value : -20") fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_zorder()\ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
