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_xaxis() Function

The Axes.get_xaxis() function in axes module of matplotlib library return the XAxis instance.

Syntax: Axes.get_xaxis(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.

Returns:This method returns the XAxis instance.

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

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
       
X = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5) 
Y = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5) 
U, V = np.meshgrid(X, Y) 
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.quiver(X, Y, U, V) 
w = ax.get_xaxis() 
w.set_visible(False) 
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \ 
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold') 
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
       
x = np.linspace(0, 200, 10) 
yy = np.transpose([2 * np.sin(x + phi) for phi in x]) 
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.plot(yy) 
w = ax.get_xaxis() 
w.tick_top() 
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \ 
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold') 
plt.show()
