Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_clip_box() in Python

0 0 2 minutes 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_clip_box() Function

The Axes.get_clip_box() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get the clipbox.

Syntax: Axes.get_clip_box(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method return the animated state.

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

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
  
delta = 45.0
  
angles = np.arange(0, 360 + delta, delta)
ells = [Ellipse((2, 2), 5, 2, a) for a in angles]
  
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
 
print("Value Return by get_clip_box()")
for e in ells:
    e.set_clip_box(ax.bbox)
    print(e.get_clip_box())
    e.set_alpha(0.1)
    ax.add_artist(e)
  
plt.xlim(-1, 5)
plt.ylim(-1, 5)
 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_clip_box() \
function Example\n\n', fontweight ="bold")
 
plt.show()

Output:
