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_major_locator() Function
The Axis.get_major_locator() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the locator of the major ticker.
Syntax: Axis.get_major_locator(self)
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.
Return value: This method returns the locator of the major ticker.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_locator() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np from matplotlib.axis import Axis import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000) y = np.sin(2 * x) fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(x, y) ax.grid() print(Axis.get_major_locator(ax.yaxis)) plt.title("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_locator()\n\ Function Example", fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold') plt.show() |
Output:
<matplotlib.ticker.AutoLocator object at 0x07D67ED0>
Example 2:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np from matplotlib.axis import Axis import matplotlib.pyplot as plt np.random.seed(19680801) fig, ax = plt.subplots() x, y, s, c = np.random.rand(4, 100) s *= 100 ax.scatter(x, y, s, c) ax.grid() print(Axis.get_major_locator(ax.xaxis)) plt.title("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_locator()\n\ Function Example", fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold') plt.show() |
Output:
<matplotlib.ticker.AutoLocator object at 0x07CA9FD0>
