Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_adjustable() in Python

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical - mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Axes Class contains most of the figure elements: Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system. And the instances of Axes supports callbacks through a callbacks attribute.

matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_adjustable() Function

The Axes.get_adjustable() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get which parameter the Axes is given to achieve a given aspect.

Syntax: Axes.get_adjustable(self) Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters. Return value: This method returns the adjustable value.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_adjustable() function in matplotlib.axes: Example 1:

Python3

# ImpleIn Reviewtation of matplotlib function  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2)
ax1.set_xscale("log")
ax1.set_yscale("log")
ax1.set_xlim(1e1, 1e3)
ax1.set_ylim(1e2, 1e3)
ax1.set_aspect(1)
ax1.set_title("Axes 1")
 
ax2.set_xscale("log")
ax2.set_yscale("log")
ax2.set_adjustable("datalim")
ax2.plot([1, 113, 10], [1, 119, 100], "o-")
ax2.set_xlim(1e-1, 1e2)
ax2.set_ylim(1e-1, 1e3)
ax2.set_aspect(1)
ax2.set_title("Axes 2")

w = ax1.get_adjustable()
w1 = ax2.get_adjustable()

ax1.text(20, 400,
         "     Value return by\n get_adjustable() : " +str(w))
ax2.text(1, 200, 
         "   Value return by \nget_adjustable() : \n     " +str(w1))
 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_adjustable() function Example\n',
             fontweight ="bold")
fig.canvas.draw()
plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

triang.set_mask(np.hypot(x[triang.triangles].mean(axis = 1),
                         y[triang.triangles].mean(axis = 1))
                < min_radius)

ax1.set_adjustable("datalim")
ax1.triplot(triang, 'bo-', lw = 1, color = "green")
ax1.set_title("Axes 2")

w = ax.get_adjustable()
