class matplotlib.projections.polar.InvertedPolarTransform(axis=None, use_rmin=True, _apply_theta_transforms=True)[source]#

Bases: Transform

The inverse of the polar transform, mapping Cartesian coordinate space x and y back to theta and r.

Parameters:

axisAxis, optional: Axis associated with this transform. This is used to get the minimum radial limit.
use_rminbool, optional: If True add the minimum radial axis limit after transforming from Cartesian coordinates. axis must also be specified for this to take effect.

has_inverse = True#: True if this transform has a corresponding inverse transform.

input_dims = 2#: The number of input dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

inverted()[source]#

Return the corresponding inverse transformation.

It holds x == self.inverted().transform(self.transform(x)).

The return value of this method should be treated as temporary. An update to self does not cause a corresponding update to its inverted copy.

output_dims = 2#: The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

transform_non_affine(values)[source]#

Apply only the non-affine part of this transformation.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

In non-affine transformations, this is generally equivalent to transform(values). In affine transformations, this is always a no-op.

Parameters:

valuesarray: The input values as an array of length input_dims or shape (N, input_dims).

Returns:

array: The output values as an array of length output_dims or shape (N, output_dims), depending on the input.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.PolarAffine(scale_transform, limits)[source]#

Bases: Affine2DBase

The affine part of the polar projection.

Scales the output so that maximum radius rests on the edge of the axes circle and the origin is mapped to (0.5, 0.5). The transform applied is the same to x and y components and given by:

\[x_{1} = 0.5 \left [ \frac{x_{0}}{(r_{\max} - r_{\min})} + 1 \right ]\]

\(r_{\min}, r_{\max}\) are the minimum and maximum radial limits after any scaling (e.g. log scaling) has been removed.

Parameters:

scale_transformTransform: Scaling transform for the data. This is used to remove any scaling from the radial view limits.
limitsBboxBase: View limits of the data. The only part of its bounds that is used is the y limits (for the radius limits).

get_matrix()[source]#: Get the matrix for the affine part of this transform.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.PolarAxes(*args, theta_offset=0, theta_direction=1, rlabel_position=22.5, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Axes

A polar graph projection, where the input dimensions are theta, r.

Theta starts pointing east and goes anti-clockwise.

Build an Axes in a figure.

Parameters:

figFigure

The Axes is built in the Figure fig.

*args

*args can be a single (left, bottom, width, height) rectangle or a single Bbox. This specifies the rectangle (in figure coordinates) where the Axes is positioned.

*args can also consist of three numbers or a single three-digit number; in the latter case, the digits are considered as independent numbers. The numbers are interpreted as (nrows, ncols, index): (nrows, ncols) specifies the size of an array of subplots, and index is the 1-based index of the subplot being created. Finally, *args can also directly be a SubplotSpec instance.

sharex, shareyAxes, optional

The x- or y-axis is shared with the x- or y-axis in the input Axes.

frameonbool, default: True

Whether the Axes frame is visible.

box_aspectfloat, optional

Set a fixed aspect for the Axes box, i.e. the ratio of height to width. See set_box_aspect for details.

Parameters:

axisAxis, optional: Axis associated with this transform. This is used to get the minimum radial limit.

It holds x == self.inverted().transform(self.transform(x)).

The return value of this method should be treated as temporary. An update to self does not cause a corresponding update to its inverted copy.

output_dims = 2#: The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

transform_non_affine(values)[source]#

Apply only the non-affine part of this transformation.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

Parameters:

valuesarray: The input values as an array of length input_dims or shape (N, input_dims).

Returns:

array: The output values as an array of length output_dims or shape (N, output_dims), depending on the input.

class PolarAffine(scale_transform, limits)[source]#

Bases: Affine2DBase

The affine part of the polar projection.

Scales the output so that maximum radius rests on the edge of the axes circle and the origin is mapped to (0.5, 0.5). The transform applied is the same to x and y components and given by:

\[x_{1} = 0.5 \left [ \frac{x_{0}}{(r_{\max} - r_{\min})} + 1 \right ]\]

\(r_{\min}, r_{\max}\) are the minimum and maximum radial limits after any scaling (e.g. log scaling) has been removed.

Parameters:

scale_transformTransform: Scaling transform for the data. This is used to remove any scaling from the radial view limits.
limitsBboxBase: View limits of the data. The only part of its bounds that is used is the y limits (for the radius limits).

get_matrix()[source]#: Get the matrix for the affine part of this transform.

class PolarTransform(axis=None, use_rmin=True, _apply_theta_transforms=True, *, scale_transform=None)[source]#

Bases: Transform

The base polar transform.

This transform maps polar coordinates \(\theta, r\) into Cartesian coordinates \(x, y = r \cos(\theta), r \sin(\theta)\) (but does not fully transform into Axes coordinates or handle positioning in screen space).

This transformation is designed to be applied to data after any scaling along the radial axis (e.g. log-scaling) has been applied to the input data.

Path segments at a fixed radius are automatically transformed to circular arcs as long as path._interpolation_steps > 1.

Parameters:

axisAxis, optional: Axis associated with this transform. This is used to get the minimum radial limit.
use_rminbool, optional: If True, subtract the minimum radial axis limit before transforming to Cartesian coordinates. axis must also be specified for this to take effect.

has_inverse = True#: True if this transform has a corresponding inverse transform.

input_dims = 2#: The number of input dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

inverted()[source]#

Return the corresponding inverse transformation.

It holds x == self.inverted().transform(self.transform(x)).

The return value of this method should be treated as temporary. An update to self does not cause a corresponding update to its inverted copy.

output_dims = 2#: The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

transform_non_affine(values)[source]#

Apply only the non-affine part of this transformation.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

In non-affine transformations, this is generally equivalent to transform(values). In affine transformations, this is always a no-op.

Parameters:

valuesarray: The input values as an array of length input_dims or shape (N, input_dims).

Returns:

array: The output values as an array of length output_dims or shape (N, output_dims), depending on the input.

transform_path_non_affine(path)[source]#

Apply the non-affine part of this transform to Path path, returning a new Path.

transform_path(path) is equivalent to transform_path_affine(transform_path_non_affine(values)).

class RadialLocator(base, axes=None)[source]#

Bases: Locator

Used to locate radius ticks.

Ensures that all ticks are strictly positive. For all other tasks, it delegates to the base Locator (which may be different depending on the scale of the r-axis).

nonsingular(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Adjust a range as needed to avoid singularities.

This method gets called during autoscaling, with (v0, v1) set to the data limits on the axes if the axes contains any data, or (-inf, +inf) if not.

If v0 == v1 (possibly up to some floating point slop), this method returns an expanded interval around this value.
If (v0, v1) == (-inf, +inf), this method returns appropriate default view limits.
Otherwise, (v0, v1) is returned without modification.

set_axis(axis)[source]#

view_limits(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Select a scale for the range from vmin to vmax.

Subclasses should override this method to change locator behaviour.

class ThetaFormatter[source]#

Bases: Formatter

Used to format the theta tick labels. Converts the native unit of radians into degrees and adds a degree symbol.

class ThetaLocator(base)[source]#

Bases: Locator

Used to locate theta ticks.

This will work the same as the base locator except in the case that the view spans the entire circle. In such cases, the previously used default locations of every 45 degrees are returned.

set_axis(axis)[source]#

view_limits(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Select a scale for the range from vmin to vmax.

Subclasses should override this method to change locator behaviour.

can_pan()[source]#

Return whether this Axes supports the pan/zoom button functionality.

For a polar Axes, this is slightly misleading. Both panning and zooming are performed by the same button. Panning is performed in azimuth while zooming is done along the radial.

can_zoom()[source]#

Return whether this Axes supports the zoom box button functionality.

A polar Axes does not support zoom boxes.

clear()[source]#: Clear the Axes.

drag_pan(button, key, x, y)[source]#

Called when the mouse moves during a pan operation.

Parameters:

buttonMouseButton: The pressed mouse button.
keystr or None: The pressed key, if any.
x, yfloat: The mouse coordinates in display coords.

Notes

This is intended to be overridden by new projection types.

draw(renderer)[source]#

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.

end_pan()[source]#

Called when a pan operation completes (when the mouse button is up.)

Notes

This is intended to be overridden by new projection types.

format_coord(theta, r)[source]#: Return a format string formatting the x, y coordinates.

get_data_ratio()[source]#: Return the aspect ratio of the data itself. For a polar plot, this should always be 1.0

set_rgrids(radii, labels=None, angle=None, fmt=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Set the radial gridlines on a polar plot.

Parameters:

radiituple with floats: The radii for the radial gridlines
labelstuple with strings or None: The labels to use at each radial gridline. The matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter will be used if None.
anglefloat: The angular position of the radius labels in degrees.
fmtstr or None: Format string used in matplotlib.ticker.FormatStrFormatter. For example '%f'.

Returns:

lineslist of lines.Line2D: The radial gridlines.
labelslist of text.Text: The tick labels.

Other Parameters:

**kwargs: kwargs are optional Text properties for the labels.

Warning

This only sets the properties of the current ticks. Ticks are not guaranteed to be persistent. Various operations can create, delete and modify the Tick instances. There is an imminent risk that these settings can get lost if you work on the figure further (including also panning/zooming on a displayed figure).

Use set_tick_params instead if possible.

set_thetalim(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Set the minimum and maximum theta values.

Can take the following signatures:

set_thetalim(minval, maxval): Set the limits in radians.
set_thetalim(thetamin=minval, thetamax=maxval): Set the limits in degrees.

where minval and maxval are the minimum and maximum limits. Values are wrapped in to the range \([0, 2\pi]\) (in radians), so for example it is possible to do set_thetalim(-np.pi / 2, np.pi / 2) to have an axis symmetric around 0. A ValueError is raised if the absolute angle difference is larger than a full circle.

set_thetamax(thetamax)[source]#: Set the maximum theta limit in degrees.

set_thetamin(thetamin)[source]#: Set the minimum theta limit in degrees.

set_yscale(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Set the yaxis' scale.

Parameters:

value{"linear", "log", "symlog", "logit", ...} or ScaleBase

The axis scale type to apply.

**kwargs

Different keyword arguments are accepted, depending on the scale. See the respective class keyword arguments:

Notes

By default, Matplotlib supports the above-mentioned scales. Additionally, custom scales may be registered using matplotlib.scale.register_scale. These scales can then also be used here.

start_pan(x, y, button)[source]#

Called when a pan operation has started.

Parameters:

x, yfloat: The mouse coordinates in display coords.
buttonMouseButton: The pressed mouse button.

Notes

This is intended to be overridden by new projection types.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.PolarTransform(axis=None, use_rmin=True, _apply_theta_transforms=True, *, scale_transform=None)[source]#

Bases: Transform

The base polar transform.

This transformation is designed to be applied to data after any scaling along the radial axis (e.g. log-scaling) has been applied to the input data.

Path segments at a fixed radius are automatically transformed to circular arcs as long as path._interpolation_steps > 1.

Parameters:

axisAxis, optional: Axis associated with this transform. This is used to get the minimum radial limit.
use_rminbool, optional: If True, subtract the minimum radial axis limit before transforming to Cartesian coordinates. axis must also be specified for this to take effect.

has_inverse = True#: True if this transform has a corresponding inverse transform.

input_dims = 2#: The number of input dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

inverted()[source]#

Return the corresponding inverse transformation.

It holds x == self.inverted().transform(self.transform(x)).

The return value of this method should be treated as temporary. An update to self does not cause a corresponding update to its inverted copy.

output_dims = 2#: The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

transform_non_affine(values)[source]#

Apply only the non-affine part of this transformation.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

In non-affine transformations, this is generally equivalent to transform(values). In affine transformations, this is always a no-op.

Parameters:

valuesarray: The input values as an array of length input_dims or shape (N, input_dims).

Returns:

array: The output values as an array of length output_dims or shape (N, output_dims), depending on the input.

transform_path_non_affine(path)[source]#

Apply the non-affine part of this transform to Path path, returning a new Path.

transform_path(path) is equivalent to transform_path_affine(transform_path_non_affine(values)).

class matplotlib.projections.polar.RadialAxis(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: YAxis

A radial Axis.

This overrides certain properties of a YAxis to provide special-casing for a radial axis.

Parameters:

axesAxes: The Axes to which the created Axis belongs.
pickradiusfloat: The acceptance radius for containment tests. See also Axis.contains.
clearbool, default: True: Whether to clear the Axis on creation. This is not required, e.g., when creating an Axis as part of an Axes, as Axes.clear will call Axis.clear. .. versionadded:: 3.8

axis_name = 'radius'#: Read-only name identifying the axis.

clear()[source]#

Clear the axis.

This resets axis properties to their default values:

the label
the scale
locators, formatters and ticks
major and minor grid
units

class matplotlib.projections.polar.RadialLocator(base, axes=None)[source]#

Bases: Locator

Used to locate radius ticks.

Ensures that all ticks are strictly positive. For all other tasks, it delegates to the base Locator (which may be different depending on the scale of the r-axis).

nonsingular(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Adjust a range as needed to avoid singularities.

This method gets called during autoscaling, with (v0, v1) set to the data limits on the axes if the axes contains any data, or (-inf, +inf) if not.

If v0 == v1 (possibly up to some floating point slop), this method returns an expanded interval around this value.
If (v0, v1) == (-inf, +inf), this method returns appropriate default view limits.
Otherwise, (v0, v1) is returned without modification.

set_axis(axis)[source]#

view_limits(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Select a scale for the range from vmin to vmax.

Subclasses should override this method to change locator behaviour.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.RadialTick(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: YTick

A radial-axis tick.

This subclass of YTick provides radial ticks with some small modification to their re-positioning such that ticks are rotated based on axes limits. This results in ticks that are correctly perpendicular to the spine. Labels are also rotated to be perpendicular to the spine, when 'auto' rotation is enabled.

bbox is the Bound2D bounding box in display coords of the Axes loc is the tick location in data coords size is the tick size in points

class matplotlib.projections.polar.ThetaAxis(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: XAxis

A theta Axis.

This overrides certain properties of an XAxis to provide special-casing for an angular axis.

Parameters:

axesAxes: The Axes to which the created Axis belongs.
pickradiusfloat: The acceptance radius for containment tests. See also Axis.contains.
clearbool, default: True: Whether to clear the Axis on creation. This is not required, e.g., when creating an Axis as part of an Axes, as Axes.clear will call Axis.clear. .. versionadded:: 3.8

axis_name = 'theta'#: Read-only name identifying the axis.

clear()[source]#

Clear the axis.

This resets axis properties to their default values:

the label
the scale
locators, formatters and ticks
major and minor grid
units
registered callbacks

class matplotlib.projections.polar.ThetaFormatter[source]#

Bases: Formatter

Used to format the theta tick labels. Converts the native unit of radians into degrees and adds a degree symbol.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.ThetaLocator(base)[source]#

Bases: Locator

Used to locate theta ticks.

This will work the same as the base locator except in the case that the view spans the entire circle. In such cases, the previously used default locations of every 45 degrees are returned.

set_axis(axis)[source]#

view_limits(vmin, vmax)[source]#

Select a scale for the range from vmin to vmax.

Subclasses should override this method to change locator behaviour.

class matplotlib.projections.polar.ThetaTick(axes, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: XTick

A theta-axis tick.

This subclass of XTick provides angular ticks with some small modification to their re-positioning such that ticks are rotated based on tick location. This results in ticks that are correctly perpendicular to the arc spine.

When 'auto' rotation is enabled, labels are also rotated to be parallel to the spine. The label padding is also applied here since it's not possible to use a generic axes transform to produce tick-specific padding.

bbox is the Bound2D bounding box in display coords of the Axes loc is the tick location in data coords size is the tick size in points
