Matplotlib.axis.Axis.update_units() 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.update_units() Function

The Axis.update_units() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to introspect data for units converter and update the axis.converter instance if necessary. 
 

Syntax: Axis.update_units(self, data) 

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters. 

  • data: This parameter is the data to be update.

Return value: This method return True if data is registered for unit conversion. 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.update_units() 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 
   
           
np.random.seed(10**7
neveropen = np.random.randn(100
      
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.acorr(neveropen, usevlines = True
         normed = True
         maxlags = 80, lw = 3
     
ax.grid(True
     
prop = {'xticks': np.array([-100., -50.,
                            0., 50., 100.]), 
        'yticks': np.array([-0.20.2
                            0.6, 1., 1.4]), 
        'ylabel': None, 'xlabel': None
     
ax.update(prop)
 
w = Axis.update_units(ax.xaxis,[1,2,3,4,5])
print(w)
   
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.update_units()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold") 
     
plt.show()


Output: 

False

Example 2

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
     
     
xx = np.random.rand(16, 30)  
        
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
        
m = ax.pcolor(xx)  
m.set_zorder(-20)
 
w = Axis.update_units(ax.xaxis,[1,2,3,4,5])
print(w)
   
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.update_units()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold") 
     
plt.show()


Output: 

 

False
