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.format_cursor_data() Function

The Axes.format_cursor_data() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to return a string representation of data.

Syntax: Axes.format_cursor_data(self, data)

Parameters: This method accept the following parameter as discussed below:

data: This parameter is the data which is used to be used.

Returns: This method returns the string representation of data.

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

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
      
np.random.seed(10**7) 
zambiatekx = np.random.randn(10) 
  
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.plot(zambiatekx) 
  
ax.text(1.5, 0.85, "Value return by format_cursor_data():", 
        fontweight ="bold")  
  
ax.text(0, 0.7, ax.format_cursor_data(zambiatekx)) 
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data() \ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 
  
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
  
      
zambiatekx = np.array([24.40, 110.25, 20.05, 
                   22.00, 61.90, 7.80,  
                   15.00]) 
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.plot(zambiatekx, 'go-') 
  
ax.text(1, 95, "Value return by format_cursor_data():", 
        fontweight ="bold")  
  
ax.text(1.3, 85, ax.format_cursor_data(zambiatekx)) 
   
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.format_cursor_data()\ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 
  
plt.show()
