0 0 1 minute read

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Axes Class contains most of the figure elements: Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system. And the instances of Axes supports callbacks through a callbacks attribute.

matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_yscale() Function

The Axes.get_yscale() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get the y-axis scale as string.

Syntax: Axes.get_yscale(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.

Return: This function return the y-axis scale as a string.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_yscale() function in matplotlib.axes:

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
  
ax.plot([1, 2, 3]) 
  
w = ax.get_yscale() 
  
ax.set_title("yscale property : "+ str(w), 
             fontweight ="bold") 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_yscale() \ 
function Example\n', fontweight ="bold") 
fig.canvas.draw() 
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
  
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
  
ax.set_yscale("log") 
ax.set_adjustable("datalim") 
ax.plot([1, 3, 10], [1, 9, 100], "o-", color ="green") 
ax.set_ylim(1e-1, 1e3) 
ax.set_aspect(1) 
w = ax.get_yscale() 
ax.set_title(str(w)+" is the yscale property", 
             fontweight ="bold") 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_yscale()\ 
 function Example\n', fontweight ="bold") 
  
plt.show()
