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.

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

Example 1:

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


f, ax = plt.subplots()
s = ax.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
Artist.set_url(s, 'http://www.google.com')
f.canvas.print_figure('geeks1.svg')

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

plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

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


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

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

Artist.set_url(im, 'https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/')
f.canvas.print_figure('geeks2.svg')

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

plt.show()
