Matplotlib is a plotting library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. Pyplot is a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface. Matplotlib is designed to be as usable as MATLAB, with the ability to use Python and the advantage of being free and open-source.
matplotlib.pyplot.axis()
This function is used to set some axis properties to the graph.
Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.axis(*args, emit=True, **kwargs)
Parameters:
xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax:These parameters can be used to
set the axis limits on the graph
emit:Its a bool value used to notify observers of the axis limit change
Example #1:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] y = [ 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ] # Plotting the graph plt.plot(x, y) # Setting the x-axis to 1-10 # and y-axis to 1-15 plt.axis([ 0 , 10 , 1 , 15 ]) # Showing the graph with updated axis plt.show() |
Output:
Example #2:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] y = [ 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ] plt.plot(x, y) # we can turn off the axis and display # only the line by passing the # optional parameter 'off' to it plt.axis( 'off' ) plt.show() |
Output:
