mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_divider.Divider

class mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_divider.Divider(fig, pos, horizontal, vertical, aspect=None, anchor='C')

This class calculates the axes position. It divides the given rectangular area into several sub-rectangles. You initialize the divider by setting the horizontal and vertical lists of sizes (mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_size) that the division will be based on. You then use the new_locator method to create a callable object that can be used as the axes_locator of the axes.

Parameters:

fig : Figure

pos : tuple of 4 floats

position of the rectangle that will be divided

horizontal : list of axes_size

sizes for horizontal division

vertical : list of axes_size

sizes for vertical division

aspect : bool

if True, the overall rectangular area is reduced so that the relative part of the horizontal and vertical scales have the same scale.

anchor : {'C', 'SW', 'S', 'SE', 'E', 'NE', 'N', 'NW', 'W'}

placement of the reduced rectangle when aspect is True

add_auto_adjustable_area(use_axes, pad=0.1, adjust_dirs=None)

append_size(position, size)

get_anchor()

return the anchor

get_aspect()

return aspect

get_horizontal()

return horizontal sizes

get_horizontal_sizes(renderer)

get_locator()

get_position()

return the position of the rectangle.

get_position_runtime(ax, renderer)

get_vertical()

return vertical sizes

get_vertical_sizes(renderer)

get_vsize_hsize()

locate(nx, ny, nx1=None, ny1=None, axes=None, renderer=None)

Parameters:

nx, nx1 : int

Integers specifying the column-position of the cell. When nx1 is None, a single nx-th column is specified. Otherwise location of columns spanning between nx to nx1 (but excluding nx1-th column) is specified.

ny, ny1 : int

Same as nx and nx1, but for row positions.

axes

renderer

new_locator(nx, ny, nx1=None, ny1=None)

Returns a new locator (mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_divider.AxesLocator) for specified cell.

Parameters:

nx, nx1 : int

Integers specifying the column-position of the cell. When nx1 is None, a single nx-th column is specified. Otherwise location of columns spanning between nx to nx1 (but excluding nx1-th column) is specified.

ny, ny1 : int

Same as nx and nx1, but for row positions.

set_anchor(anchor)

Parameters:

anchor : {'C', 'SW', 'S', 'SE', 'E', 'NE', 'N', 'NW', 'W'}

anchor position

value	description
'C'	Center
'SW'	bottom left
'S'	bottom
'SE'	bottom right
'E'	right
'NE'	top right
'N'	top
'NW'	top left
'W'	left

set_aspect(aspect=False)

Parameters:

aspect : bool

set_horizontal(h)

Parameters:

h : list of axes_size

set_locator(_locator)

set_position(pos)

set the position of the rectangle.

Parameters:

pos : tuple of 4 floats

position of the rectangle that will be divided

set_vertical(v)

Parameters:

v : list of axes_size

sizes for vertical division
