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.set_smart_bounds() Function
The Axis.set_smart_bounds() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to set the axis to have smart bounds.
Syntax: Axis.set_smart_bounds(self, value)
Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.
- value: This parameter is the bool value.
Return value: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_smart_bounds() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.axis import Axis import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() x = np.linspace( - np.pi, np.pi, 100 ) y = 2 * np.sin(x) ax = fig.add_subplot() ax.set_title( 'centered spines' ) ax.plot(x, y) ax.spines[ 'left' ].set_position( 'center' ) ax.spines[ 'right' ].set_color( 'none' ) ax.spines[ 'bottom' ].set_position( 'center' ) ax.spines[ 'top' ].set_color( 'none' ) ax.spines[ 'left' ].set_smart_bounds( True ) ax.spines[ 'bottom' ].set_smart_bounds( True ) ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position( 'bottom' ) ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position( 'left' ) ax.grid() fig.suptitle( """matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_smart_bounds() function Example\n""" , fontweight = "bold") plt.show() |
Output:
