Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_label() Function

The Axis.get_label() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the label used for this artist in the legend. 
 

Syntax: Axis.get_label(self) 
 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 
 

Return value: This method return the label used for this artist in the legend. 

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

Example 1:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
     
      
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
      
x = [0, 1]  
y = [1, 1]  
line, = ax.plot(x, y)  
    
ax.legend(("Line_1", ))  
      
ax.text(0.2, 1.02, "Value Return by get_label()\
: " + str(line.get_label()))
            
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_label()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")  
    
plt.show()


Output: 
 

Example 2:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis

host.yaxis.label.set_color(p1.get_color())  
par1.yaxis.label.set_color(p2.get_color())  
par2.yaxis.label.set_color(p3.get_color())

                 colors = p1.get_color(),   
                 **tkw)
