matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_children() Function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the list of the child Artists of this Artist.
Syntax: Tick.get_children(self)
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.
Return value: This method return the list of the child Artists of this Artist.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_children() function in matplotlib.axis:
Example 1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Tick
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
import numpy as np
from numpy.random import rand
fig, ax2 = plt.subplots()
ax2.hexbin(range(10), rand(10), picker=True)
print("First 10 child Artists of this Artist \n",
*list(ax2.get_children())[:10], sep="\n")
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_children()
function Example\n""", fontweight="bold")
plt.show()
Output:
First 10 child Artists of this Artist <matplotlib.collections.PolyCollection object at 0x0AF49930> Spine Spine Spine Spine XAxis(80.0,52.8) YAxis(80.0,52.8) Text(0.5, 1.0, '') Text(0.0, 1.0, '') Text(1.0, 1.0, '')
Example 2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Tick
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
NUM = 20
ells = [Ellipse(xy=np.random.rand(2) * 10,
width=np.random.rand()*4,
height=np.random.rand()*4,
angle=np.random.rand() * 360)
for i in range(NUM)]
fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={'aspect': 'equal'})
print("Last 10 child Artists of this Artist \n")
for e in ells:
ax.add_artist(e)
e.set_clip_box(ax.bbox)
e.set_alpha(np.random.rand())
e.set_facecolor(np.random.rand(4))
print(*list(ax.get_children())[-10:], sep="\n")
ax.set_xlim(0, 10)
ax.set_ylim(0, 10)
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_children()
function Example\n""", fontweight="bold")
plt.show()
Output:
Last 10 child Artists of this Artist Spine Spine Spine Spine XAxis(80.0,52.8) YAxis(80.0,52.8) Text(0.5, 1.0, '') Text(0.0, 1.0, '') Text(1.0, 1.0, '') Rectangle(xy=(0, 0), width=1, height=1, angle=0)
