Matplotlib.artist.Artist.format_cursor_data() in Python

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.format_cursor_data() method

The format_cursor_data() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get a string representation of data.

Syntax: Artist.remove_callback(self, data)

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.

• 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.artist.Artist.format_cursor_data() function in matplotlib:

Example 1:

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.artist import Artist


np.random.seed(10**7)
geeksx = np.random.randn(10)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(geeksx)

ax.text(1.5, 0.85,
        "Value return by format_cursor_data():",
        fontweight ="bold")

ax.text(0, 0.7,
        Artist.format_cursor_data(ax, data = geeksx))

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.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
from matplotlib.artist import Artist


geeksx = np.array([24.40, 110.25, 20.05,
                   22.00, 61.90, 7.80,
                   15.00])

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(geeksx, 'go-')

ax.text(1, 95,
        "Value return by format_cursor_data():",
        fontweight ="bold")

ax.text(1.3, 85,
        Artist.format_cursor_data(ax,
                                  data = geeksx))

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.format_cursor_data()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold")

plt.show()

Output:
