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.

classmatplotlib.transforms.Affine2D(matrix=None, **kwargs)[source]

classmatplotlib.transforms.Affine2DBase(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.AffineBase

The base class of all 2D affine transformations.

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

a c e
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.

Parameters

shorthand_namestr

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.

__module__='matplotlib.transforms'

frozen()[source]

Return a frozen copy of this transform node. The frozen copy will not be updated when its children change. Useful for storing a previously known state of a transform where copy.deepcopy() might normally be used.

has_inverse=True

True if this transform has a corresponding inverse transform.

input_dims=2

The number of input dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

inverted()[source]

Return the corresponding inverse transformation.

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

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.

propertyis_separable

bool(x) -> bool

Returns True when the argument x is true, False otherwise. The builtins True and False are the only two instances of the class bool. The class bool is a subclass of the class int, and cannot be subclassed.

The number of output dimensions of this transform. Must be overridden (with integers) in the subclass.

to_values()[source]

Return the values of the matrix as an (a, b, c, d, e, f) tuple.

transform_affine(points)[source]

Apply 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).

transform_path(path) is equivalent to transform_path_affine(transform_path_non_affine(values)).

transform_path_non_affine(path)[source]

transform_path(path) is equivalent to transform_path_affine(transform_path_non_affine(values)).

classmatplotlib.transforms.AffineDeltaTransform(transform, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.Affine2DBase

A transform wrapper for transforming displacements between pairs of points.

This class is intended to be used to transform displacements ("position deltas") between pairs of points (e.g., as the offset_transform of Collections): given a transform t such that t = AffineDeltaTransform(t) + offset, AffineDeltaTransform satisfies AffineDeltaTransform(a - b) == AffineDeltaTransform(a) - AffineDeltaTransform(b).

This is implemented by forcing the offset components of the transform matrix to zero.

This class is experimental as of 3.3, and the API may change.

__init__(transform, **kwargs)[source]

Parameters

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.

__module__='matplotlib.transforms'

__str__()[source]

get_matrix()[source]

Get the matrix for the affine part of this transform.

classmatplotlib.transforms.Bbox(points, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.transforms.BboxBase

A mutable bounding box.

Examples

Create from known bounds

The default constructor takes the boundary "points" [[xmin, ymin], [xmax, ymax]].

>>> Bbox([[1, 1], [3, 7]])
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [3.0, 7.0]])

Alternatively, a Bbox can be created from the flattened points array, the so-called "extents" (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)

>>> Bbox.from_extents(1, 1, 3, 7)
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [3.0, 7.0]])

or from the "bounds" (xmin, ymin, width, height).

>>> Bbox.from_bounds(1, 1, 2, 6)
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [3.0, 7.0]])

Create from collections of points

The "empty" object for accumulating Bboxs is the null bbox, which is a stand-in for the empty set.

>>> Bbox.null()
Bbox([[inf, inf], [-inf, -inf]])

Adding points to the null bbox will give you the bbox of those points.

>>> box = Bbox.null()
>>> box.update_from_data_xy([[1, 1]])
>>> box
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [1.0, 1.0]])
>>> box.update_from_data_xy([[2, 3], [3, 2]], ignore=False)
>>> box
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [3.0, 3.0]])

Setting ignore=True is equivalent to starting over from a null bbox.

>>> box.update_from_data_xy([[1, 1]], ignore=True)
>>> box
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [1.0, 1.0]])

Warning

It is recommended to always specify ignore explicitly. If not, the default value of ignore can be changed at any time by code with access to your Bbox, for example using the method ignore.

Properties of the ``null`` bbox

Note

The current behavior of Bbox.null() may be surprising as it does not have all of the properties of the "empty set", and as such does not behave like a "zero" object in the mathematical sense. We may change that in the future (with a deprecation period).

The null bbox is the identity for intersections

>>> Bbox.intersection(Bbox([[1, 1], [3, 7]]), Bbox.null())
Bbox([[1.0, 1.0], [3.0, 7.0]])

except with itself, where it returns the full space.

>>> Bbox.intersection(Bbox.null(), Bbox.null())
Bbox([[-inf, -inf], [inf, inf]])

A union containing null will always return the full space (not the other set!)

>>> Bbox.union([Bbox([[0, 0], [0, 0]]), Bbox.null()])
Bbox([[-inf, -inf], [inf, inf]])

Bases: matplotlib.transforms._BlendedMixin, matplotlib.transforms.Transform

A "blended" transform uses one transform for the x-direction, and another transform for the y-direction.

This "generic" version can handle any given child transform in the x- and y-directions.

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

You will generally not call this constructor directly but use the blended_transform_factory function instead, which can determine automatically which kind of blended transform to create.

__init__(x_transform, y_transform, **kwargs)[source]

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

You will generally not call this constructor directly but use the blended_transform_factory function instead, which can determine automatically which kind of blended transform to create.

Note

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

classmatplotlib.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()
• inverted() (if an inverse exists)

The following attributes may be overridden if the default is unsuitable:

• is_separable (defaults to True for 1D -> 1D transforms, False otherwise)
• has_inverse (defaults to True if inverted() is overridden, False otherwise)

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()

Parameters

shorthand_namestr

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.

__add__(other)[source]

Compose two transforms together so that self is followed by other.

classmethod__init_subclass__()[source]

This method is called when a class is subclassed.

The default implementation does nothing. It may be overridden to extend subclasses.

__module__='matplotlib.transforms'

__sub__(other)[source]

Compose self with the inverse of other, cancelling identical terms if any:

# In general:
A - B == A + B.inverted()
# (but see note regarding frozen transforms below).

# If A "ends with" B (i.e. A == A' + B for some A') we can cancel
# out B:
(A' + B) - B == A'

# Likewise, if B "starts with" A (B = A + B'), we can cancel out A:
A - (A + B') == B'.inverted() == B'^-1

Cancellation (rather than naively returning A + B.inverted()) is important for multiple reasons:

• It avoids floating-point inaccuracies when computing the inverse of B: B - B is guaranteed to cancel out exactly (resulting in the identity transform), whereas B + B.inverted() may differ by a small epsilon.
• B.inverted() always returns a frozen transform: if one computes A + B + B.inverted() and later mutates B, then B.inverted() won't be updated and the last two terms won't cancel out anymore; on the other hand, A + B - B will always be equal to A even if B is mutated.

contains_branch(other)[source]

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

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

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