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.get_url() Method

The get_url() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to set the url for the artist.

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

Example 1:

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


f, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
ax.set_url('http://www.google.com')
f.canvas.print_figure('scatter.svg')

ax.text(1.5, 5.5, "URL : "
        + str( Artist.get_url(ax)),
        fontweight ="bold")

f.suptitle("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_url()
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


f, ax = plt.subplots()
delta = 0.025

x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)

Z1 = np.exp(-X**2 - Y**2)
Z2 = np.exp(-(X - 1)**2 - (Y - 1)**2)
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2

ax.imshow(Z, interpolation ='bilinear',
          cmap = "PuBuGn_r",
          origin ='lower',
          extent =[-3, 3, -3, 3])

ax.set_url('https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/')
f.savefig('image.svg')

ax.set_title("URL : "+str(Artist.get_url(ax)), fontweight ="bold")

f.suptitle("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_url()
function Example""", fontweight ="bold")


plt.show()

Output:
