matplotlib.transforms

matplotlib includes a framework for arbitrary geometric transformations that is used determine the final position of all elements drawn on the canvas.

Transforms are composed into trees of TransformNode objects whose actual value depends on their children. When the contents of children change, their parents are automatically invalidated. The next time an invalidated transform is accessed, it is recomputed to reflect those changes. This invalidation/caching approach prevents unnecessary recomputations of transforms, and contributes to better interactive performance.

For example, here is a graph of the transform tree used to plot data to the graph:

The framework can be used for both affine and non-affine transformations. However, for speed, we want use the backend renderers to perform affine transformations whenever possible. Therefore, it is possible to perform just the affine or non-affine part of a transformation on a set of data. The affine is always assumed to occur after the non-affine. For any transform:

full transform == non-affine part + affine part

The backends are not expected to handle non-affine transformations themselves.

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.Affine2DBase

A mutable 2D affine transformation.

Initialize an Affine transform from a 3x3 numpy float array:

Returns self, so this method can easily be chained with more calls to rotate(), rotate_deg(), translate() and scale().

rotate_around(self, x, y, theta) [source]

Add a rotation (in radians) around the point (x, y) in place.

Returns self, so this method can easily be chained with more calls to rotate(), rotate_deg(), translate() and scale().

rotate_deg(self, degrees) [source]

Add a rotation (in degrees) to this transform in place.

Returns self, so this method can easily be chained with more calls to rotate(), rotate_deg(), translate() and scale().

2D affine transformations are performed using a 3x3 numpy array:

b d f
0 0 1

This class provides the read-only interface. For a mutable 2D affine transformation, use Affine2D.

Subclasses of this class will generally only need to override a constructor and get_matrix() that generates a custom 3x3 matrix.

class matplotlib.transforms.LockableBbox(bbox, x0=None, y0=None, x1=None, y1=None, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.BboxBase

A Bbox where some elements may be locked at certain values.

When the child bounding box changes, the bounds of this bbox will update accordingly with the exception of the locked elements.

Parameters:	`bbox : Bbox` The child bounding box to wrap. `x0 : float or None` The locked value for x0, or None to leave unlocked. `y0 : float or None` The locked value for y0, or None to leave unlocked. `x1 : float or None` The locked value for x1, or None to leave unlocked. `y1 : float or None` The locked value for y1, or None to leave unlocked.

get_points(self) [source]

locked_x0: float or None: The value used for the locked x0.

locked_x1: float or None: The value used for the locked x1.

locked_y0: float or None: The value used for the locked y0.

locked_y1: float or None: The value used for the locked y1.

class matplotlib.transforms.ScaledTranslation(xt, yt, scale_trans, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.Affine2DBase

A transformation that translates by xt and yt, after xt and yt have been transformed by scale_trans.

get_matrix(self) [source]: Get the Affine transformation array for the affine part of this transform.

class matplotlib.transforms.Transform(shorthand_name=None) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.TransformNode

The base class of all TransformNode instances that actually perform a transformation.

All non-affine transformations should be subclasses of this class. New affine transformations should be subclasses of Affine2D.

Subclasses of this class should override the following members (at minimum):

input_dims
output_dims
transform()
is_separable
has_inverse
inverted() (if has_inverse is True)

If the transform needs to do something non-standard with matplotlib.path.Path objects, such as adding curves where there were once line segments, it should override:

transform_path()

Creates a new TransformNode.

Parameters:	`shorthand_name : str` A string representing the "name" of the transform. The name carries no significance other than to improve the readability of `str(transform)` when DEBUG=True.

contains_branch(self, other) [source]

Return whether the given transform is a sub-tree of this transform.

This routine uses transform equality to identify sub-trees, therefore in many situations it is object id which will be used.

For the case where the given transform represents the whole of this transform, returns True.

contains_branch_seperately(self, other_transform) [source]

Returns whether the given branch is a sub-tree of this transform on each separate dimension.

A common use for this method is to identify if a transform is a blended transform containing an axes' data transform. e.g.:

x_isdata, y_isdata = trans.contains_branch_seperately(ax.transData)

depth: Returns the number of transforms which have been chained together to form this Transform instance.

Note

For the special case of a Composite transform, the maximum depth of the two is returned.

get_affine(self) [source]: Get the affine part of this transform.

get_matrix(self) [source]: Get the Affine transformation array for the affine part of this transform.

has_inverse = False: True if this transform has a corresponding inverse transform.

input_dims = None: The number of input dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

inverted(self) [source]

Return the corresponding inverse transformation.

The return value of this method should be treated as temporary. An update to self does not cause a corresponding update to its inverted copy.

x === self.inverted().transform(self.transform(x))

is_separable = False: True if this transform is separable in the x- and y- dimensions.

output_dims = None: The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

transform(self, values) [source]

Performs the transformation on the given array of values.

Alternatively, accepts a numpy array of length input_dims and returns a numpy array of length output_dims.

transform_affine(self, values) [source]

Performs only the affine part of this transformation on the given array of values.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

In non-affine transformations, this is generally a no-op. In affine transformations, this is equivalent to transform(values).

Accepts a numpy array of shape (N x input_dims) and returns a numpy array of shape (N x output_dims).

Alternatively, accepts a numpy array of length input_dims and returns a numpy array of length output_dims.

Parameters:

Parameters:	`angles : (N,) array-like` The angles to transform. `pts : (N, 2) array-like` The points where the angles are anchored. `radians : bool, default: False` Whether angles are radians or degrees. `pushoff : float` For each point in pts and angle in angles, the transformed angle is computed by transforming a segment of length pushoff starting at that point and making that angle relative to the horizontal axis, and measuring the angle between the horizontal axis and the transformed segment.
Returns:	`transformed_angles : (N,) array`

angles : (N,) array-like: The angles to transform.
pts : (N, 2) array-like: The points where the angles are anchored.
radians : bool, default: False: Whether angles are radians or degrees.
pushoff : float: For each point in pts and angle in angles, the transformed angle is computed by transforming a segment of length pushoff starting at that point and making that angle relative to the horizontal axis, and measuring the angle between the horizontal axis and the transformed segment.

Returns:

transformed_angles : (N,) array

transform_bbox(self, bbox) [source]

Transform the given bounding box.

Note, for smarter transforms including caching (a common requirement for matplotlib figures), see TransformedBbox.

transform_non_affine(self, values) [source]

Performs only the non-affine part of the transformation.

transform(values) is always equivalent to transform_affine(transform_non_affine(values)).

In non-affine transformations, this is generally equivalent to transform(values). In affine transformations, this is always a no-op.

A convenience function that returns the transformed copy of a single point.

The point is given as a sequence of length input_dims. The transformed point is returned as a sequence of length output_dims.

class matplotlib.transforms.TransformNode(shorthand_name=None) [source]

Bases: object

TransformNode is the base class for anything that participates in the transform tree and needs to invalidate its parents or be invalidated. This includes classes that are not really transforms, such as bounding boxes, since some transforms depend on bounding boxes to compute their values.

Creates a new TransformNode.

Parameters:	`shorthand_name : str` A string representing the "name" of the transform. The name carries no significance other than to improve the readability of `str(transform)` when DEBUG=True.

INVALID = 3

INVALID_AFFINE = 2

INVALID_NON_AFFINE = 1

frozen(self) [source]: Returns a frozen copy of this transform node. The frozen copy will not update when its children change. Useful for storing a previously known state of a transform where copy.deepcopy() might normally be used.

invalidate(self) [source]: Invalidate this TransformNode and triggers an invalidation of its ancestors. Should be called any time the transform changes.

is_affine = False

is_bbox = False

pass_through = False: If pass_through is True, all ancestors will always be invalidated, even if 'self' is already invalid.

set_children(self, *children) [source]: Set the children of the transform, to let the invalidation system know which transforms can invalidate this transform. Should be called from the constructor of any transforms that depend on other transforms.

class matplotlib.transforms.TransformWrapper(child) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.Transform

A helper class that holds a single child transform and acts equivalently to it.

This is useful if a node of the transform tree must be replaced at run time with a transform of a different type. This class allows that replacement to correctly trigger invalidation.

Note that TransformWrapper instances must have the same input and output dimensions during their entire lifetime, so the child transform may only be replaced with another child transform of the same dimensions.

child: A class:Transform instance. This child may later be replaced with set().

frozen(self) [source]: Returns a frozen copy of this transform node. The frozen copy will not update when its children change. Useful for storing a previously known state of a transform where copy.deepcopy() might normally be used.

has_inverse

is_affine

is_separable

pass_through = True

set(self, child) [source]

Replace the current child of this transform with another one.

The new child must have the same number of input and output dimensions as the current child.

class matplotlib.transforms.TransformedBbox(bbox, transform, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.BboxBase

Parameters:	`bbox : Bbox` `transform : Transform`

get_points(self) [source]

class matplotlib.transforms.TransformedPatchPath(patch) [source]

Create a new TransformedPatchPath from the given Patch.

class matplotlib.transforms.TransformedPath(path, transform) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.TransformNode

A TransformedPath caches a non-affine transformed copy of the Path. This cached copy is automatically updated when the non-affine part of the transform changes.

Paths are considered immutable by this class. Any update to the path's vertices/codes will not trigger a transform recomputation.

Create a new TransformedPath from the given Path and Transform.

get_transformed_path_and_affine(self) [source]: Return a copy of the child path, with the non-affine part of the transform already applied, along with the affine part of the path necessary to complete the transformation.

get_transformed_points_and_affine(self) [source]: Return a copy of the child path, with the non-affine part of the transform already applied, along with the affine part of the path necessary to complete the transformation.

matplotlib.transforms.blended_transform_factory(x_transform, y_transform) [source]

Create a new "blended" transform using x_transform to transform the x-axis and y_transform to transform the y-axis.

A faster version of the blended transform is returned for the case where both child transforms are affine.

matplotlib.transforms.composite_transform_factory(a, b) [source]

Create a new composite transform that is the result of applying transform a then transform b.

Shortcut versions of the blended transform are provided for the case where both child transforms are affine, or one or the other is the identity transform.

Composite transforms may also be created using the '+' operator, e.g.:

c = a + b

Parameters:

Parameters:	`vmin, vmax : float` The initial endpoints. `expander : float, optional, default: 0.001` Fractional amount by which vmin and vmax are expanded if the original interval is too small, based on tiny. `tiny : float, optional, default: 1e-15` Threshold for the ratio of the interval to the maximum absolute value of its endpoints. If the interval is smaller than this, it will be expanded. This value should be around 1e-15 or larger; otherwise the interval will be approaching the double precision resolution limit. `increasing : bool, optional, default: True` If True, swap vmin, vmax if vmin > vmax.
Returns:	`vmin, vmax : float` Endpoints, expanded and/or swapped if necessary. If either input is inf or NaN, or if both inputs are 0 or very close to zero, it returns -expander, expander.
