class Legend(matplotlib.artist.Artist) |
| |
Place a legend on the axes at location loc. Labels are a
sequence of strings and loc can be a string or an integer
specifying the legend location
The location codes are
'best' : 0, (only implemented for axis legends)
'upper right' : 1,
'upper left' : 2,
'lower left' : 3,
'lower right' : 4,
'right' : 5,
'center left' : 6,
'center right' : 7,
'lower center' : 8,
'upper center' : 9,
'center' : 10,
Return value is a sequence of text, line instances that make
up the legend

Methods inherited from matplotlib.artist.Artist:
- add_callback(self, func)

- Test whether the artist contains the mouse event.
Returns the truth value and a dictionary of artist specific details of
selection, such as which points are contained in the pick radius. See
individual artists for details.

recursively find all :class:matplotlib.artist.Artist instances
contained in self
*match* can be
- None: return all objects contained in artist (including artist)
- function with signature ``boolean = match(artist)`` used to filter matches
- class instance: eg Line2D. Only return artists of class type

- return the artist's animated state
- get_axes(self)
- return the axes instance the artist resides in, or *None*
- get_clip_box(self)
- Return artist clipbox
- get_clip_on(self)
- Return whether artist uses clipping
- get_clip_path(self)
- Return artist clip path
- get_contains(self)
- return the _contains test used by the artist, or *None* for default.
- get_figure(self)
- Return the :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance the
artist belongs to.
- get_label(self)
- get_picker(self)
- return the Pickeration instance used by this artist
- get_transform(self)
- Return the :class:`~matplotlib.transforms.Transform`
instance used by this artist.
- get_transformed_clip_path_and_affine(self)
- Return the clip path with the non-affine part of its
transformation applied, and the remaining affine part of its
transformation.
- get_visible(self)
- return the artist's visiblity
- get_zorder(self)
- have_units(self)
- return *True* if units are set on the x or y axes
- hitlist(self, event)
- List the children of the artist which contain the mouse event
- is_figure_set(self)
- is_transform_set(self)
- Artist has transform explicity let
- pchanged(self)
- fire event when property changed
- pick(self, mouseevent)
- call signature::
pick(mouseevent)
each child artist will fire a pick event if *mouseevent* is over
the artist and the artist has picker set
- pickable(self)
- return *True* if self is pickable
- remove(self)
- Remove the artist from the figure if possible. The effect
will not be visible until the figure is redrawn, e.g., with
:meth:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.draw_idle`. Call
:meth:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.relim` to update the axes limits
if desired.
Note: :meth:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes.relim` will not see
collections even if the collection was added to axes with
*autolim* = True.
Note: there is no support for removing the artist's legend entry.
- remove_callback(self, oid)
- set(self, **kwargs)
- A tkstyle set command, pass *kwargs* to set properties
- set_alpha(self, alpha)
- Set the alpha value used for blending - not supported on
all backends
ACCEPTS: float
- set_animated(self, b)
- set the artist's animation state
ACCEPTS: [True | False]
- set_axes(self, axes)
- set the axes instance in which the artist resides, if any
ACCEPTS: an axes instance
- set_clip_box(self, clipbox)
- Set the artist's clip Bbox
ACCEPTS: a :class:`matplotlib.transform.Bbox` instance
- set_clip_on(self, b)
- Set whether artist uses clipping
ACCEPTS: [True | False]
- set_clip_path(self, path, transform=None)
- Set the artist's clip path, which may be:
* a :class:`~matplotlib.patches.Patch` (or subclass) instance
* a :class:`~matplotlib.path.Path` instance, in which case
an optional :class:`~matplotlib.transforms.Transform`
instance may be provided, which will be applied to the
path before using it for clipping.
* *None*, to remove the clipping path
For efficiency, if the path happens to be an axis-aligned
rectangle, this method will set the clipping box to the
corresponding rectangle and set the clipping path to *None*.
ACCEPTS: a :class:`~matplotlib.path.Path` instance and a
:class:`~matplotlib.transforms.Transform` instance, a
:class:`~matplotlib.patches.Patch` instance, or *None*.
- set_contains(self, picker)
- Replace the contains test used by this artist. The new picker should
be a callable function which determines whether the artist is hit by the
mouse event::
hit, props = picker(artist, mouseevent)
If the mouse event is over the artist, return *hit=True* and *props*
is a dictionary of properties you want returned with the contains test.
- set_figure(self, fig)
- Set the :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance the artist
belongs to.
ACCEPTS: a :class:`matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance
- set_label(self, s)
- Set the line label to *s* for auto legend
ACCEPTS: any string
- set_lod(self, on)
- Set Level of Detail on or off. If on, the artists may examine
things like the pixel width of the axes and draw a subset of
their contents accordingly
ACCEPTS: [True | False]
- set_picker(self, picker)
- set the epsilon for picking used by this artist
*picker* can be one of the following:
* *None*: picking is disabled for this artist (default)
* A boolean: if *True* then picking will be enabled and the
artist will fire a pick event if the mouse event is over
the artist
* A float: if picker is a number it is interpreted as an
epsilon tolerance in points and the artist will fire
off an event if it's data is within epsilon of the mouse
event. For some artists like lines and patch collections,
the artist may provide additional data to the pick event
that is generated, e.g. the indices of the data within
epsilon of the pick event
* A function: if picker is callable, it is a user supplied
function which determines whether the artist is hit by the
mouse event::
hit, props = picker(artist, mouseevent)
to determine the hit test. if the mouse event is over the
artist, return *hit=True* and props is a dictionary of
properties you want added to the PickEvent attributes.
ACCEPTS: [None|float|boolean|callable]
- set_transform(self, t)
- Set the :class:`~matplotlib.transforms.Transform` instance
used by this artist.
- set_visible(self, b)
- set the artist's visiblity

- Set the zorder for the artist
