Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() 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_xaxis() Function

The Axes.get_xaxis() function in axes module of matplotlib library return the XAxis instance.

Syntax: Axes.get_xaxis(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.

Returns:This method returns the XAxis instance.

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

Example 1:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
       
X = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5)
Y = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5)
U, V = np.meshgrid(X, Y)
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.quiver(X, Y, U, V)
w = ax.get_xaxis()
w.set_visible(False)
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()


Output:

Example 2:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
       
x = np.linspace(0, 200, 10)
yy = np.transpose([2 * np.sin(x + phi) for phi in x])
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(yy)
w = ax.get_xaxis()
w.tick_top()
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()
