What exactly is a Matplotlib axes object?


The Axes class contains most of the figure elements − Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system.

steps

  • Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.

  • Set the axes linewidth using rcParams.

  • Add an axes to the current figure and make it the current axes.

  • Set the axes spines color.

  • To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
plt.rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = 5

ax = plt.axes()

ax.spines['bottom'].set_color('yellow')
ax.spines['top'].set_color('red')
ax.spines['right'].set_color('black')
ax.spines['left'].set_color('blue')

plt.show()
