Axes
Module axis defines the look of an axis as well as grid
lines. Two classes, axis.X and axis.Y, are provided by
this module.
- axis.X
-
| draw_tics_above type: int
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 0. If true, tick lines and labels are drawn above the axis line.
|
| format type: printf format string
|
Attribute |
|
Default: "%s". The format string for tick labels.
It can be a `printf' style format string, or
a single-parameter function that takes an X (or Y) value
and returns a string. The appearance of the string produced here can be
controlled using escape sequences. See font.
|
| label type: str
|
Attribute |
|
Default: "axis label". The descriptive string displayed below (or in the left of) the axis. See font..
|
| label_offset type: (x,y) or None
|
Attribute |
|
Default: (None, None). The location for drawing the axis label,
relative to the middle point of the axis.
If the value is None, the label is displayed
below (or in the left of) of axis at the middle.
|
| line_style type: line_style.T
|
Attribute |
|
Default: line_style.black. Specifies the style of axis and tick lines. See line_style..
See line_style.
|
| minor_tic_interval type: Number or function
|
Attribute |
|
Default: None. When the value is a number, it specifies the interval at which minor tick marks are drawn. Otherwise, the value must be a function that takes no argument and returns the list of numbers. The return value specifies the X or Y points at which minor tick marks are drawn.
|
| minor_tic_len type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 3. The length of minor tick marks. The value can be negative, in which case the tick lines are drawn right of (or above) the axis.
|
| offset type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 0. The location of the axis. The unit is points.
The value of 0 draws the
axis at the left (for the Y axis) or bottom (for the X axis)
edge of the drawing area.
|
| tic_interval type: Number or function
|
Attribute |
|
Default: None. When the value is a number, it specifies the interval at which tick marks are drawn. Otherwise, the value must be a function that takes no argument and returns the list of numbers. The return value specifies the X or Y points at which tick marks are drawn.
|
| tic_label_offset type: (x,y)
|
Attribute |
|
Default: (0, 0). The location for drawing tick labels,
relative to the tip of the tick line.
|
| tic_len type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 6. The length of tick lines. The value can be negative, in which case the tick lines are drawn right of (or above) the axis.
|
- axis.Y
-
| draw_tics_right type: int
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 0. If true, tick lines and labels are drawn right of the axis line.
|
| format type: printf format string
|
Attribute |
|
Default: "%s". The format string for tick labels.
It can be a `printf' style format string, or
a single-parameter function that takes an X (or Y) value
and returns a string. The appearance of the string produced here can be
controlled using escape sequences. See font.
|
| label type: str
|
Attribute |
|
Default: "axis label". The descriptive string displayed below (or in the left of) the axis. See font..
|
| label_offset type: (x,y) or None
|
Attribute |
|
Default: (None, None). The location for drawing the axis label,
relative to the middle point of the axis.
If the value is None, the label is displayed
below (or in the left of) of axis at the middle.
|
| line_style type: line_style.T
|
Attribute |
|
Default: line_style.black. Specifies the style of axis and tick lines. See line_style..
See line_style.
|
| minor_tic_interval type: Number or function
|
Attribute |
|
Default: None. When the value is a number, it specifies the interval at which minor tick marks are drawn. Otherwise, the value must be a function that takes no argument and returns the list of numbers. The return value specifies the X or Y points at which minor tick marks are drawn.
|
| minor_tic_len type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 3. The length of minor tick marks. The value can be negative, in which case the tick lines are drawn right of (or above) the axis.
|
| offset type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 0. The location of the axis. The unit is points.
The value of 0 draws the
axis at the left (for the Y axis) or bottom (for the X axis)
edge of the drawing area.
|
| tic_interval type: Number or function
|
Attribute |
|
Default: None. When the value is a number, it specifies the interval at which tick marks are drawn. Otherwise, the value must be a function that takes no argument and returns the list of numbers. The return value specifies the X or Y points at which tick marks are drawn.
|
| tic_label_offset type: (x,y)
|
Attribute |
|
Default: (0, 0). The location for drawing tick labels,
relative to the tip of the tick line.
|
| tic_len type: number
|
Attribute |
|
Default: 6. The length of tick lines. The value can be negative, in which case the tick lines are drawn right of (or above) the axis.
