Pyplot is another module of matplotlib that enables users to integrate MATLAB within Python environment, and thus providing MATLAB like interface and making Python visually interactive.
Matplotlib.pyplot.axes()
pyplot.axes is a function of the matplotlib library that adds axes to the current graph and makes it as current axes. Its output depends on the arguments used.
Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.axes(*args, **kwargs)
Parameters:
*args: It may include either None(nothing) or 4 tuples of float type
- none: It gives a new full window axes
- 4 tuples: It takes 4 tuples as list i.e [left bottom width height] and gives a window of these dimensions as axes.
**kwargs: There are several keyword arguments(kwargs) used as parameters to pyplot.axes(), most common include facecolor, gid, in_layout, label, position, xlim, ylim, etc.
Example 1:
# importing matplot library along # with necessary modules import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # providing values to x and y x = [8, 5, 11, 13, 16, 23] y = [14, 8, 21, 7, 12, 15] # to plot x and y plt.plot(x, y) # to generate the full window axes plt.axes() |
Output:
Example 2:
# importing matplot library along # with necessary modules import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # providing values to x and y x = [8, 5, 11, 13, 16, 23] y = [14, 8, 21, 7, 12, 15] # to plot x and y #plt.plot(x, y) # to generate window of custom # dimensions [left, bottom, width, # height] along with the facecolor plt.axes([0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0], facecolor = 'black') |
Output:
