Matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_gid() in Python

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.Tick.get_gid() Function

The Tick.get_gid() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the group id.

Syntax: Tick.get_gid(self) 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 

Return value: This method return the group id.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_gid() function in matplotlib.axis: 

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Tick
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

y, x = np.mgrid[:5, 1:6]

poly_coords = [
    (0.25, 2.75), (3.25, 2.75),
    (2.25, 0.75), (0.25, 0.75)]
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

cells = ax.plot(x, y, x + y, color ='green')

ax.add_patch(
    plt.Polygon(poly_coords,
    color ='forestgreen',alpha = 0.5))

ax.margins(x = 0.1, y = 0.05)
ax.set_aspect('equal')

for i, t in enumerate(ax.patches):
    Tick.set_gid(t, 'patch_% d' % i)
    print("Value Return :", Tick.get_gid(t))
