Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() in Python

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. The Axes.get_xaxis() function in axes module of matplotlib library return the XAxis instance.

Syntax: Axes.get_xaxis(self) Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters. Returns:This method returns the XAxis instance.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() function in matplotlib.axes: Example 1: Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
     
X = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5)
Y = np.arange(-20, 20, 0.5)
U, V = np.meshgrid(X, Y)
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.quiver(X, Y, U, V)
w = ax.get_xaxis()
w.set_visible(False)
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()

Output: Example 2: Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
     
x = np.linspace(0, 200, 10)
yy = np.transpose([2 * np.sin(x + phi) for phi in x])
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(yy)
w = ax.get_xaxis()
w.tick_top()
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis() \
Example', fontsize = 14, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()

Output:
