Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.
Matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() Method
The get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get the clip path with the non-affine part of its transformation applied, and the remaining affine part of its transformation.
Syntax: Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(self)
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.
Returns: This method return the clip path with the non-affine part of its transformation applied, and the remaining affine part of its transformation.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() function in matplotlib:
Example 1:
Image Used:
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
import matplotlib.cbook as cbook
with cbook.get_sample_data('image.PNG') as image_file:
image = plt.imread(image_file)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
im = ax.imshow(image)
patch = patches.Rectangle((0, 0), 260, 200,
transform = ax.transData)
# use of get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() method
val = Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(im)
ax.set_title("Value Return by get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(): "
+ str(val))
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() \
function Example', fontweight="bold")
plt.show()
Output:
Example 2:
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.path import Path
from matplotlib.patches import PathPatch
delta = 0.025
x = y = np.arange(-3.0, 3.0, delta)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z1 = np.exp(-X**2 - Y**2)
Z2 = np.exp(-(X - 1)**2 - (Y - 1)**2)
Z = (Z1 - Z2) * 2
path = Path([[0, 1], [1, 0], [0, -1], [-1, 0], [0, 1]])
patch = PathPatch(path, facecolor ='none')
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.add_patch(patch)
im = ax.imshow(Z,
interpolation ='bilinear',
cmap = cm.gray,
origin ='lower',
extent =[-3, 3, -3, 3],
clip_path = patch,
clip_on = True)
# use of get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine() method
val = Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(im)
print("Value Return by get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(): ")
for i in val:
print(i)
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine()
function Example""", fontweight="bold")
plt.show()
Output:
Value Return by get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine():
Path(array([[ 0., 1.],
[ 1., 0.],
[ 0., -1.],
[-1., 0.],
[ 0., 1.]]), None)
