Axes

class Axes(*args, number=None, main=False, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes

Lowest-level axes subclass. Handles titles and axis sharing. Adds several new methods and overrides existing ones.

Parameters

  • number (int) – The subplot number, used for a-b-c labeling. See format for details. Note the first axes is 1, not 0.

  • main (bool, optional) – Used internally, indicates whether this is a “main axes” rather than a twin, panel, or inset axes.

  • *args, **kwargs – Passed to Axes.
