Matplotlib.axis.Axis.update() Function

The Axis.update() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to update this artist’s properties from the dictionary props. 
 

Syntax: Axis.update(self, props) 
 

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameters. 

  • props: This parameter is the dictionary of the properties.

Return value: This method does not return any value. 

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

Example 1:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
import numpy as np  
    
            
np.random.seed(10**7)  
geeks = np.random.randn(100)  
       
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
ax.acorr(geeks, usevlines = True,  
         normed = True,  
         maxlags = 80, lw = 3)  
      
ax.grid(True)  
      
prop = {'xticks': np.array([-10., -5.
                            0., 5., 10.]),  
        'yticks': np.array([-0.20.2,  
                            0.6, 1., 1.4]),  
        'ylabel': None, 'xlabel': None}  
      
Axis.update(ax, prop)
  
plt.title('matplotlib.axis.Axis.update() \
function Example', 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   
      
      
xx = np.random.rand(16, 30)   
         
fig, ax = plt.subplots()   
         
m = ax.pcolor(xx)   
m.set_zorder(-20)  
prop = {'autoscalex_on': False
      
Axis.update(ax, prop)
  
plt.title('matplotlib.axis.Axis.update() \
function Example', fontweight ="bold")  
    
plt.show()
