Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.

Matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_url() Method

The set_url() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to set the url for the artist.

Syntax: Artist.set_url(self, url)

Parameters: This method accepts only one parameters.

url : This parameter is the string containing the url.

Returns: This method does not return any value.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_url() function in matplotlib:

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.cm as cm  
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
  
    
f, ax = plt.subplots()  
s = ax.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]) 
Artist.set_url(s, 'http://www.google.com')  
f.canvas.print_figure('zambiatek1.svg') 
  
f.suptitle("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_url() 
function Example""", fontweight="bold") 
  
plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.cm as cm  
import matplotlib.mlab as mlab  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
    
    
f, ax = plt.subplots()  
delta = 0.025
  
x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)  
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)  
  
Z1 = np.exp(-X**2 - Y**2)  
Z2 = np.exp(-(X - 1)**2 - (Y - 1)**2)  
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2
    
im = ax.imshow(Z,  
               interpolation ='bilinear',  
               cmap = "bone",  
               origin ='lower',   
               extent =[-3, 3, -3, 3])  
    
Artist.set_url(im, 'https://www.zambiatek.com/')  
f.canvas.print_figure('zambiatek2.svg') 
  
f.suptitle("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_url() 
function Example""", fontweight="bold") 
  
plt.show()
