mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.GridlinesCollection

class mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.GridlinesCollection(*args, which='major', axis='both', **kwargs)

Bases: LineCollection

Collection of grid lines.

Parameters:

which{"major", "minor"}

Which grid to consider.

axis{"both", "x", "y"}

Which axis to consider.

*args, **kwargs

Passed to LineCollection.

draw(renderer)

Draw the Artist (and its children) using the given renderer.

This has no effect if the artist is not visible (Artist.get_visible returns False).

Parameters:

rendererRendererBase subclass.

Notes

This method is overridden in the Artist subclasses.

Set multiple properties at once.

a.set(a=A, b=B, c=C)

is equivalent to

a.set_a(A)
a.set_b(B)
a.set_c(C)

In addition to the full property names, aliases are also supported, e.g. set(lw=2) is equivalent to set(linewidth=2), but it is an error to pass both simultaneously.

The order of the individual setter calls matches the order of parameters in set(). However, most properties do not depend on each other so that order is rarely relevant.

Supported properties are

Property	Description
agg_filter	a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array and two offsets from the bottom left corner of the image
alpha	array-like or float or None
animated	bool
antialiased or aa or antialiaseds	bool or list of bools
array	array-like or None
axis	{"both", "x", "y"}
capstyle	CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}
clim	(vmin: float, vmax: float)
clip_box	BboxBase or None
clip_on	bool
clip_path	Patch or (Path, Transform) or None
cmap	Colormap or str or None
color	color or list of color
colors	color or list of color
edgecolor or ec or edgecolors	color or list of color or 'face'
facecolor or facecolors or fc	color or list of color
figure	Figure or SubFigure
gapcolor	color or list of color or None
gid	str
grid_helper	GridHelperBase subclass
hatch	{'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'}
hatch_linewidth	unknown
hatchcolor	color or list of color or 'edge'
in_layout	bool
joinstyle	JoinStyle or {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}
label	object

linewidth or linewidths or lw	float or list of floats
mouseover	bool
norm	Normalize or str or None
offset_transform or transOffset	Transform
offsets	(N, 2) or (2,) array-like

paths	unknown
picker	None or bool or float or callable
pickradius	float
rasterized	bool
