Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.

matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_visible() method

The set_visible() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to set the artist’s visibility.

Syntax: Artist.set_visible(self, b)

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.

b: This parameter is the boolean value.

Returns: This method does not return any value.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_visible() function in matplotlib:

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.artist import Artist   
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
from mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines import Subplot  
  
  
fig = plt.figure()  
     
ax = Subplot(fig, 111)  
fig.add_subplot(ax)  
  
Artist.set_visible(ax.axis["left"], False)  
Artist.set_visible(ax.axis["top"], False)  
  
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_visible()\ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show() 

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.artist import Artist   
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() 
  
Artist.set_visible(w, False) 
  
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_visible()\ 
function Example', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show()
