Matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data() in Python

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Axes Class contains most of the figure elements: Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system. And the instances of Axes supports callbacks through a callbacks attribute.

matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data() Function

The Axes.format_cursor_data() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to return a string representation of data.

Syntax: Axes.format_cursor_data(self, data)

Parameters: This method accept the following parameter as discussed below:

  • data: This parameter is the data which is used to be used.

Returns: This method returns the string representation of data.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data() function in matplotlib.axes:

Example 1:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      
np.random.seed(10**7)
neveropenx = np.random.randn(10)
  
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(neveropenx)
  
ax.text(1.5, 0.85, "Value return by format_cursor_data():",
        fontweight ="bold"
  
ax.text(0, 0.7, ax.format_cursor_data(neveropenx))
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data() \
function Example', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()


Output:

Example 2:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
      
neveropenx = np.array([24.40, 110.25, 20.05,
                   22.00, 61.90, 7.80
                   15.00])
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(neveropenx, 'go-')
  
ax.text(1, 95, "Value return by format_cursor_data():",
        fontweight ="bold"
  
ax.text(1.3, 85, ax.format_cursor_data(neveropenx))
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()
