Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Axes Class contains most of the figure elements: Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system. And the instances of Axes supports callbacks through a callbacks attribute.

matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_sketch_params() Function

The Axes.get_sketch_params() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get the sketch parameters for the artist.

Syntax: Axes.get_sketch_params(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method return the sketch parameters for the artist.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_sketch_params() function in matplotlib.axes:

Example 1:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.colors as mcolors
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec
import numpy as np
     
     
plt.rcParams['savefig.facecolor'] = "0.8"
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = 6, 5
     
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
     
ax.plot([1, 2])
     
ax.locator_params("x", nbins = 3)
ax.locator_params("y", nbins = 5)
     
ax.set_xlabel('x-label')
ax.set_ylabel('y-label')
   
ax.text(0.2, 1.8, "Sketch Parameters : "
        +str(ax.get_sketch_params()), 
        fontweight ="bold")
     
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_sketch_params() \
function Example\n\n', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()


Output:

Example 2:




# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
    
values = np.array([
    0.015, 0.166, 0.133,

values[[3, 14]] += .8

                              sharex = True)
    
ax.plot(values, "o-", color ="green")
ax2.plot(values, "o-", color ="green")
    
ax.set_ylim(.78, 1.
ax2.set_ylim(0, .22)
    
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(False)
ax2.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
  
ax.xaxis.tick_top()
ax.tick_params(labeltop = False)
ax2.xaxis.tick_bottom()
    
d = .005

              color ='k'
              clip_on = False)
  
ax.plot((-d, +d), (-d, +d), **kwargs)       
ax.plot((1 - d, 1 + d), (-d, +d), **kwargs) 
    
kwargs.update(transform = ax2.transAxes)  
ax2.plot((-d, +d), (1 - d, 1 + d), **kwargs)
ax2.plot((1 - d, 1 + d), (1 - d, 1 + d), **kwargs) 
   
ax.set_sketch_params(1.0, 100.0, 22.0)
ax2.set_sketch_params(1.0, 100.0, 22.0)  
   
ax.text(5, .95, "Sketch Parameters : "
        +str(ax.get_sketch_params()), 
        fontweight ="bold")
     
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_sketch_params() \
function Example\n\n', fontweight ="bold")
  
plt.show()
