Matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_zorder() function 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_zorder() Function

The Tick.get_zorder() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the artist’s zorder. 

Syntax: Tick.get_zorder(self) 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 

Return value: This method return the artist’s zorder. 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_zorder() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:

Python3

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


d = np.arange(16).reshape(4, 4)
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(5), np.arange(5))

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.set_aspect(1)
ax.pcolormesh(xx, yy, d)

ax.text(1.4, 3.5, "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Tick.get_zorder(ax)),
        fontweight ="bold")

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_zorder() \
function Example', fontweight ="bold")

plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

Python3

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


xx = np.random.rand(3, 4)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.pcolor(xx)
ax.set_zorder(3)

ax.set_title( "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Tick.get_zorder(ax)),
        fontweight ="bold")

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_zorder() \
function Example', fontweight ="bold")

plt.show()

Output:
