0 0 1 minute read

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_snap() Function

The Tick.get_snap() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the snap setting.

Syntax: Tick.get_snap(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Return value: This method return the snap setting.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_snap() function in matplotlib.axis:

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.axis import Tick 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
from mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines import Subplot 
  
  
fig = plt.figure() 
  
ax = Subplot(fig, 111) 
fig.add_subplot(ax) 
  
ax.axis["left"].set_visible(False) 
ax.axis["right"].set_visible(False) 
  
ax.text(0.3, 0.5, "Snap Setting : "
        + str(Tick.get_snap(ax)), 
        fontweight="bold") 
  
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_snap() 
function Example\n""", fontweight="bold") 
  
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

Z1 = np.exp(-X**2 - Y**2) 
Z2 = np.exp(-(X - 1)**2 - (Y - 1)**2) 
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2
  
path = Path([[0, 2], [2, 0], [0, -2], 
             [-2, 0], [0, 2]])
