- get(o, *args, **kwargs)
- Return the value of handle property s
h is an instance of a class, eg a Line2D or an Axes or Text.
if s is 'somename', this function returns
o.get_somename()
getp can be used to query all the gettable properties with getp(o)
Many properties have aliases for shorter typing, eg 'lw' is an
alias for 'linewidth'. In the output, aliases and full property
names will be listed as
property or alias = value
eg
linewidth or lw = 2

- setp(h, *args, **kwargs)
- matplotlib supports the use of setp ("set property") and getp to set
and get object properties, as well as to do introspection on the
object For example, to set the linestyle of a line to be dashed, you
can do
>>> line, = plot([1,2,3])
>>> setp(line, linestyle='--')
If you want to know the valid types of arguments, you can provide the
name of the property you want to set without a value
>>> setp(line, 'linestyle')
linestyle: [ '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'steps' | 'None' ]
If you want to see all the properties that can be set, and their
possible values, you can do
>>> setp(line)
... long output listing omitted'
setp operates on a single instance or a list of instances. If you
are in query mode introspecting the possible values, only the first
instance in the sequence is used. When actually setting values,
all the instances will be set. Eg, suppose you have a list of two
lines, the following will make both lines thicker and red
>>> x = arange(0,1.0,0.01)
>>> y1 = sin(2*pi*x)
>>> y2 = sin(4*pi*x)
>>> lines = plot(x, y1, x, y2)
>>> setp(lines, linewidth=2, color='r')
setp works with the matlab(TM) style string/value pairs or with
python kwargs. For example, the following are equivalent
>>> setp(lines, 'linewidth', 2, 'color', r') # matlab style
>>> setp(lines, linewidth=2, color='r') # python style
