Matplotlib.artist.Artist.set() 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.set() method

The set() method in artist module of matplotlib library is a property batch setter. Pass kwargs to set properties.

Syntax: Artist.set(self, **kwargs)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters other than **kwargs.

Returns: This method does not return any value.

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

Example 1:

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


t = np.arange(0.0, 2, 0.001)
s = 1 + np.sin(8 * np.pi * t)*0.4

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(t, s)

Artist.set(ax, xlabel ='X-Axis', ylabel ='Y-Axis',
    xlim =(0, 1.5), ylim =(0.5, 1.5),
    title ='matplotlib.artist.Artist.set() function Example')

ax.grid()

plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
np.random.seed(19680801)


fig, ax = plt.subplots()

x, y, s, c = np.random.rand(4, 200)
s *= 200

ax.scatter(x, y, s, c)

Artist.set(ax, xlabel ='X-Axis', ylabel ='Y-Axis',
   xlim =(0, 0.5), ylim =(0, 0.5),
   title ='matplotlib.artist.Artist.set() function Example')

ax.grid()

plt.show()

Output:
