Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_clip_box() function in Python

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_clip_box() Function

The Axis.get_clip_box() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the clipbox.. 

Syntax: Axis.get_clip_box(self) 
 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 
 

Return value: This method return the clipbox. 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_clip_box() function in matplotlib.axis:
 

Example 1:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
import numpy as np  
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse  
       
    
delta = 45.0
       
angles = np.arange(0, 360 + delta, delta)  
ells = [Ellipse((2, 2), 5, 2, a) for a in angles]  
       
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
      
print("Value Return by get_clip_box()")  
for e in ells:  
    e.set_clip_box(ax.bbox)  
    print(Axis.get_clip_box(e))  
    e.set_alpha(0.1)  
    ax.add_artist(e)  
       
plt.xlim(-1, 5)  
plt.ylim(-1, 5)  
  
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_clip_box()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")  
    
plt.show()


Output:
