# mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_size¶

Provides classes of simple units that will be used with AxesDivider class (or others) to determine the size of each axes. The unit classes define get_size method that returns a tuple of two floats, meaning relative and absolute sizes, respectively.

Note that this class is nothing more than a simple tuple of two floats. Take a look at the Divider class to see how these two values are used.

## Classes¶

 Add(a, b) AddList(add_list) AxesX(axes[, aspect, ref_ax]) Scaled size whose relative part corresponds to the data width of the axes multiplied by the aspect. AxesY(axes[, aspect, ref_ax]) Scaled size whose relative part corresponds to the data height of the axes multiplied by the aspect. Fixed(fixed_size) Simple fixed size with absolute part = fixed_size and relative part = 0. Fraction(fraction, ref_size) An instance whose size is a fraction of the ref_size. GetExtentHelper(ax, direction) MaxExtent(artist_list, w_or_h) Size whose absolute part is the largest width (or height) of the given artist_list. MaxHeight(artist_list) Size whose absolute part is the largest height of the given artist_list. MaxWidth(artist_list) Size whose absolute part is the largest width of the given artist_list. Padded(size, pad) Return a instance where the absolute part of size is increase by the amount of pad. Scalable alias of mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.axes_size.Scaled Scaled(scalable_size) Simple scaled(?) size with absolute part = 0 and relative part = scalable_size. SizeFromFunc(func)

## Functions¶

 from_any(size[, fraction_ref]) Creates Fixed unit when the first argument is a float, or a Fraction unit if that is a string that ends with %.
