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_picker() Function

The Axis.get_picker() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to define the picking behavior of the artist. 
 

Syntax: Axis.get_picker(self) 
 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 
 

Return value: This method return the picking behavior of the artist. 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_picker() 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(19680801)  
      
volume = np.random.rayleigh(7, size = 40)  
amount = np.random.poisson(7, size = 40)  
ranking = np.random.normal(size = 40)  
price = np.random.uniform(1, 7, size = 40)  
         
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
         
scatter = ax.scatter(volume,  
                     amount,  
                     c = ranking,  
                     s = price * 3,  
                     vmin = -3,   
                     vmax = 3,  
                     cmap = "Spectral")  
       
legend1 = ax.legend(*scatter.legend_elements(num = 5),  
                    loc = "upper left",  
                    title = "Ranking")  
      
ax.add_artist(legend1)  
        
ax.text(8, 8, "Value return : "
        + str(Axis.get_picker(ax)),  
        fontweight = "bold",  
        fontsize = 18
  
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_picker()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")  
    
plt.show()


Output:

ys = np.std(X, axis = 1)  
      
fig = plt.figure()  
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)  
line, = ax.plot(xs, ys, 'go-', picker = 5)  
      
ax.set_picker(True)  
       
ax.text(0.48, 0.3, "Value return : " 
        +  str(Axis.get_picker(ax)),  
        fontweight = "bold",
