matplotlib.axis.XTick.set_snap¶
-
XTick.
set_snap
(self, snap)¶ Set the snapping behavior.
Snapping aligns positions with the pixel grid, which results in clearer images. For example, if a black line of 1px width was defined at a position in between two pixels, the resulting image would contain the interpolated value of that line in the pixel grid, which would be a grey value on both adjacent pixel positions. In contrast, snapping will move the line to the nearest integer pixel value, so that the resulting image will really contain a 1px wide black line.
Snapping is currently only supported by the Agg and MacOSX backends.
Parameters: - snapbool or None
Possible values:
- True: Snap vertices to the nearest pixel center.
- False: Do not modify vertex positions.
- None: (auto) If the path contains only rectilinear line segments, round to the nearest pixel center.
