The Axis.format_cursor_data() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the string representation of data. 

Syntax: Axis.format_cursor_data(self, data) 

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters. 

• data: This parameter is the data which is used to be used.

Return value: This method return the string representation of data. 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.format_cursor_data() function in matplotlib.axis:

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

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,
        Axis.format_cursor_data(ax, data = geeksx))

fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.format_cursor_data()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")

plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

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,
        Axis.format_cursor_data(ax,
                                  data = geeksx))
