Last Updated : 08 Jun, 2020

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_zorder() Function

The Axis.get_zorder() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the artist’s zorder.

Syntax: Axis.get_zorder(self)

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Return value: This method return the artist’s zorder.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_zorder() function in matplotlib.axis:

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
      
  
d = np.arange(49).reshape(7, 7)  
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(8), np.arange(8))  
      
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
      
ax.set_aspect(1)  
ax.pcolormesh(xx, yy, d)  
    
ax.text(2.4, 6.5, "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Axis.get_zorder(ax)),  
        fontweight ="bold")  

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_zorder() \
function Example\n', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
      
  
xx = np.random.rand(6, 5)  
      
fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
      
ax.pcolor(xx)  
ax.set_zorder(-3)  
    
ax.set_title( "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Axis.get_zorder(ax)),  
        fontweight ="bold")    

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_zorder() \
function Example\n', fontweight ="bold")  
  
plt.show()
