mpl_toolkits.axisartist

The axisartist namespace provides a derived Axes implementation (mpl_toolkits.axisartist.Axes), designed to support curvilinear grids. The biggest difference is that the artists that are responsible for drawing axis lines, ticks, ticklabels, and axis labels are separated out from Matplotlib's Axis class.

You can find a tutorial describing usage of axisartist at the axisartist user guide.

The submodules of the axisartist API are:

axisartist.angle_helper
axisartist.axes_divider
axisartist.axes_grid
axisartist.axes_rgb
axisartist.axis_artist	The axis_artist module implements custom artists to draw axis elements (axis lines and labels, tick lines and labels, grid lines).
axisartist.axisline_style
axisartist.axislines	Axislines includes modified implementation of the Axes class.
axisartist.clip_path
axisartist.floating_axes	An experimental support for curvilinear grid.
axisartist.grid_finder
axisartist.grid_helper_curvelinear	An experimental support for curvilinear grid.
axisartist.parasite_axes
