How to draw axis lines inside a plot in Matplotlib?



To draw axis lines inside a plot in Matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

  • Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
  • Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
  • Create x data points using numpy.
  • Add an 'ax' to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement.
  • Plot x and x**x data points using plot() method.
  • Set the left and bottom positions at 0, whereas color of the right and top spines none.
  • To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

Open Compiler
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig = plt.figure() x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100) ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(x, x*x) ax.spines['left'].set_position('zero') ax.spines['right'].set_color('none') ax.spines['bottom'].set_position('zero') ax.spines['top'].set_color('none') plt.show()
