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.
The Axes.get_window_extent() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to return the axes bounding box in display spaced.
Syntax: Axes.get_window_extent(self, \*args, \*\*kwargs) Here, args and kwargs are empty.
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.
Returns: This method return the axes bounding box in display space.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_window_extent() function in matplotlib.axes:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib functionimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltimport numpy as np X = np.arange(-10, 10, 0.5)Y = np.arange(-10, 10, 0.5)U, V = np.meshgrid(X, Y) fig, ax = plt.subplots()ax.quiver(X, Y, U, V)ax.invert_xaxis()w = ax.get_window_extent()print(str(w)) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_window_extent()\ function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
TransformedBbox(
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.10999999999999999, x1=0.9, y1=0.88),
BboxTransformTo(
TransformedBbox(
Bbox(x0=0.0, y0=0.0, x1=6.4, y1=4.8),
Affine2D(
[[100. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 100. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 1.]]))))
Example 2:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt xx = np.random.rand(16, 30) fig, ax3 = plt.subplots() m = ax3.pcolor(xx) m.set_zorder(-20) w = ax3.get_window_extent()print(str(w)) fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_window_extent() \function Example', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
Output:
TransformedBbox(
Bbox(x0=0.125, y0=0.10999999999999999, x1=0.9, y1=0.88),
BboxTransformTo(
TransformedBbox(
Bbox(x0=0.0, y0=0.0, x1=6.4, y1=4.8),
Affine2D(
[[100. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 100. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 1.]]))))
