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_major_formatter() Function
The Axis.get_major_formatter() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the formatter of the major ticker.
Syntax: Axis.get_major_formatter(self)
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.
Return value: This method returns the formatter of the major ticker.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_formatter() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np from matplotlib.axis import Axis import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000) y = 0.000001 * np.sin(10 * x) fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(x, y) print(Axis.get_major_formatter(ax.yaxis)) plt.title("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_formatter()\n\ Function Example", fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold') plt.show() |
Output:
<matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter object at 0x08497E30>
Example 2:
Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function import numpy as np from matplotlib.axis import Axis 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) ax.grid() print(Axis.get_major_formatter(ax.xaxis)) plt.title("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_major_formatter()\n\ Function Example", fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold') plt.show() |
Output:
<matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter object at 0x084E9F10>
