Matplotlib.axes.Axes.remove_callback() in Python

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.remove_callback() method

The remove_callback() method in axes module of matplotlib library is used to remove a callback based on its observer id.

Syntax: Axes.remove_callback(self, oid)

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.

oid: This parameter is the observer id

Returns: This method does not returns any value,

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

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
import time 
  
   
def update(): 
    plt.get_current_fig_manager().canvas.figure.patch.set_facecolor(str(np.random.random())) 
    plt.draw() 
    print("Draw at time :", time.time()) 
       
   
def start_animation(): 
       
    timer = fig.canvas.new_timer(interval = 50) 
    w = timer.add_callback(update) 
    timer.start() 
    timer.remove_callback(w) 
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
start_animation() 
         
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.remove_callback() \ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function   
from random import randint, choice  
import time  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches  
     
     
back_color = "black"
colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'purple']  
width, height = 4, 4
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
ax.set(xlim =[0, width], ylim =[0, height])  
     
fig.canvas.draw() 
ll = 1
     
def update(): 
    global ll 
    x = randint(0, width - 1)  
    y = randint(0, height - 1)  
     
    arti = mpatches.Rectangle(  
        (x, y), 1, 1,  
        facecolor = choice(colors),  
        edgecolor = back_color  
    )  
  
    ax.add_artist(arti) 
       
    ax.draw_artist(arti)  
  
    fig.canvas.blit(ax.bbox)  
    print("Draw at time :", time.time()) 
  
    if ll > 10: 
        timer.remove_callback(w) 
    ll += 1
     
timer = fig.canvas.new_timer(interval = 1)  
w = timer.add_callback(update)  
timer.start() 
         
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.remove_callback()\ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show() 

Output:
