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.set_sketch_params() Function
The Axis.set_sketch_params() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to sets the sketch parameters.
Syntax: Axis.set_sketch_params(self, scale=None, length=None, randomness=None)
Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters.
- scale: This parameter is the amplitude of the wiggle perpendicular to the source line, in pixels.
- length: This parameter is the length of the wiggle along the line, in pixels.
- randomness: This parameter is the scale factor by which the length is shrunken or expanded.
Return value: This method does not return any value.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_sketch_params() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function from matplotlib.axis import Axis
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' )
Axis.set_sketch_params(ax, 50 , 50 , 10 )
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_sketch_params() \ function Example\n', fontweight = "bold" )
plt.show() |
