Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_snap() 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.get_snap() Function

The Axes.get_snap() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get the snap setting.

Syntax: Axes.get_snap(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method return the snap setting.

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

Example 1:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines import Subplot
     
  
fig = plt.figure()
     
ax = Subplot(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
     
ax.axis["left"].set_visible(False)
ax.axis["top"].set_visible(False)
   
ax.text(0.3, 0.5, "Snap Setting : "
        +str(ax.get_snap()), 
        fontweight ="bold")
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_snap() \
function Example\n', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()


Output:

Example 2:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cbook as cbook
from matplotlib.path import Path
from matplotlib.patches import PathPatch
    
  
delta = 0.025
x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
  
Z1 = np.exp(-X**2 - Y**2)
Z2 = np.exp(-(X - 1)**2 - (Y - 1)**2)
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2
    
path = Path([[0, 1], [1, 0], [0, -1], 
            [-1, 0], [0, 1]])
patch = PathPatch(path, facecolor ='none')
    
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.add_patch(patch)
    
im = ax.imshow(Z, interpolation ='bilinear',
               cmap = cm.gray,
               origin ='lower',
               extent =[-3, 3, -3, 3],
               clip_path = patch, 
               clip_on = True)
  
im.set_clip_path(patch)
   
ax.set_snap(True)
  
ax.text(-1.3, 2, "Snap Setting : "
        +str(ax.get_snap()),
        fontweight ="bold")
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_snap()\
 function Example', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()
