`matplotlib.offsetbox`#

Container classes for Artists.

OffsetBox: The base of all container artists defined in this module.
AnchoredOffsetbox, AnchoredText: Anchor and align an arbitrary Artist or a text relative to the parent axes or a specific anchor point.
DrawingArea: A container with fixed width and height. Children have a fixed position inside the container and may be clipped.
HPacker, VPacker: Containers for layouting their children vertically or horizontally.
PaddedBox: A container to add a padding around an Artist.
TextArea: Contains a single Text instance.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.AnchoredOffsetbox(loc, *, pad=0.4, borderpad=0.5, child=None, prop=None, frameon=True, bbox_to_anchor=None, bbox_transform=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: OffsetBox

An offset box placed according to location loc.

AnchoredOffsetbox has a single child. When multiple children are needed, use an extra OffsetBox to enclose them. By default, the offset box is anchored against its parent axes. You may explicitly specify the bbox_to_anchor.

Parameters:

locstr: The box location. Valid locations are 'upper left', 'upper center', 'upper right', 'center left', 'center', 'center right', 'lower left', 'lower center, 'lower right'. For backward compatibility, numeric values are accepted as well. See the parameter loc of Legend for details.
padfloat, default: 0.4: Padding around the child as fraction of the fontsize.
borderpadfloat, default: 0.5: Padding between the offsetbox frame and the bbox_to_anchor.
childOffsetBox: The box that will be anchored.
propFontProperties: This is only used as a reference for paddings. If not given, rcParams["legend.fontsize"] (default: 'medium') is used.
frameonbool: Whether to draw a frame around the box.
bbox_to_anchorBboxBase, 2-tuple, or 4-tuple of floats: Box that is used to position the legend in conjunction with loc.
bbox_transformNone or matplotlib.transforms.Transform: The transform for the bounding box (bbox_to_anchor).
**kwargs: All other parameters are passed on to OffsetBox.

Notes

See Legend for a detailed description of the anchoring mechanism.

draw(renderer)[source]#: Update the location of children if necessary and draw them to the given renderer.

get_bbox_to_anchor()[source]#: Return the bbox that the box is anchored to.

get_child()[source]#: Return the child.

get_children()[source]#: Return the list of children.

get_extent(renderer)[source]#

Return the extent of the box as (width, height, x, y).

This is the extent of the child plus the padding.

get_window_extent(renderer=None)[source]#

Get the artist's bounding box in display space.

The bounding box' width and height are nonnegative.

Subclasses should override for inclusion in the bounding box "tight" calculation. Default is to return an empty bounding box at 0, 0.

Be careful when using this function, the results will not update if the artist window extent of the artist changes. The extent can change due to any changes in the transform stack, such as changing the axes limits, the figure size, or the canvas used (as is done when saving a figure). This can lead to unexpected behavior where interactive figures will look fine on the screen, but will save incorrectly.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.DraggableBase(ref_artist, use_blit=False)[source]#

Bases: object

Helper base class for a draggable artist (legend, offsetbox).

Derived classes must override the following methods:

def save_offset(self):
    '''
    Called when the object is picked for dragging; should save the
    reference position of the artist.
    '''

def update_offset(self, dx, dy):
    '''
    Called during the dragging; (*dx*, *dy*) is the pixel offset from
    the point where the mouse drag started.
    '''

Optionally, you may override the following method:

def finalize_offset(self):
    '''Called when the mouse is released.'''

In the current implementation of DraggableLegend and DraggableAnnotation, update_offset places the artists in display coordinates, and finalize_offset recalculates their position in axes coordinate and set a relevant attribute.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.TextArea(s, *, textprops=None, multilinebaseline=False)[source]#

Bases: OffsetBox

The TextArea is a container artist for a single Text instance.

The text is placed at (0, 0) with baseline+left alignment, by default. The width and height of the TextArea instance is the width and height of its child text.

Parameters:

sstr: The text to be displayed.
textpropsdict, default: {}: Dictionary of keyword parameters to be passed to the Text instance in the TextArea.
multilinebaselinebool, default: False: Whether the baseline for multiline text is adjusted so that it is (approximately) center-aligned with single-line text.

draw(renderer)[source]#: Update the location of children if necessary and draw them to the given renderer.

get_extent(renderer)[source]#: Return a tuple width, height, xdescent, ydescent of the box.

get_multilinebaseline()[source]#: Get multilinebaseline.

get_offset()[source]#: Return offset of the container.

get_text()[source]#: Return the string representation of this area's text.

get_window_extent(renderer=None)[source]#

Get the artist's bounding box in display space.

The bounding box' width and height are nonnegative.

Subclasses should override for inclusion in the bounding box "tight" calculation. Default is to return an empty bounding box at 0, 0.

set_multilinebaseline(t)[source]#

Set multilinebaseline.

If True, the baseline for multiline text is adjusted so that it is (approximately) center-aligned with single-line text. This is used e.g. by the legend implementation so that single-line labels are baseline-aligned, but multiline labels are "center"-aligned with them.

set_offset(xy)[source]#

Set the offset of the container.

Parameters:

xy(float, float): The (x, y) coordinates of the offset in display units.

set_text(s)[source]#: Set the text of this area as a string.

set_transform(t)[source]#: set_transform is ignored.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.VPacker(pad=None, sep=None, width=None, height=None, align='baseline', mode='fixed', children=None)[source]#

Bases: PackerBase

VPacker packs its children vertically, automatically adjusting their relative positions at draw time.

Parameters:

padfloat, optional

The boundary padding in points.

sepfloat, optional

The spacing between items in points.

width, heightfloat, optional

Width and height of the container box in pixels, calculated if None.

align{'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right', 'center', 'baseline'}, default: 'baseline'

Alignment of boxes.

mode{'fixed', 'expand', 'equal'}, default: 'fixed'

The packing mode.

'fixed' packs the given Artists tight with sep spacing.
'expand' uses the maximal available space to distribute the artists with equal spacing in between.
'equal': Each artist an equal fraction of the available space and is left-aligned (or top-aligned) therein.

childrenlist of Artist

The artists to pack.

Notes

pad and sep are in points and will be scaled with the renderer dpi, while width and height are in pixels.

get_extent_offsets(renderer)[source]#

Update offset of the children and return the extent of the box.

Parameters:

rendererRendererBase subclass

Returns:

width
height
xdescent
ydescent
list of (xoffset, yoffset) pairs
