offsetbox

matplotlib.offsetbox

The OffsetBox is a simple container artist. The child artist are meant to be drawn at a relative position to its parent. The [VH]Packer, DrawingArea and TextArea are derived from the OffsetBox.

The [VH]Packer automatically adjust the relative postisions of their children, which should be instances of the OffsetBox. This is used to align similar artists together, e.g., in legend.

The DrawingArea can contain any Artist as a child. The DrawingArea has a fixed width and height. The position of children relative to the parent is fixed. The TextArea is contains a single Text instance. The width and height of the TextArea instance is the width and height of the its child text.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.AnchoredOffsetbox(loc, pad=0.4, borderpad=0.5, child=None, prop=None, frameon=True, bbox_to_anchor=None, bbox_transform=None, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.offsetbox.OffsetBox

An offset box placed according to the legend location loc. AnchoredOffsetbox has a single child. When multiple children is needed, use other OffsetBox class to enclose them. By default, the offset box is anchored against its parent axes. You may explicitly specify the bbox_to_anchor.

loc is a string or an integer specifying the legend location. The valid location codes are:

'upper right'  : 1,
'upper left'   : 2,
'lower left'   : 3,
'lower right'  : 4,
'right'        : 5,
'center left'  : 6,
'center right' : 7,
'lower center' : 8,
'upper center' : 9,
'center'       : 10,

pad

: pad around the child for drawing a frame. given in

fraction of fontsize.

borderpad : pad between offsetbox frame and the bbox_to_anchor,

child : OffsetBox instance that will be anchored.

prop : font property. This is only used as a reference for paddings.

frameon : draw a frame box if True.

bbox_to_anchor : bbox to anchor. Use self.axes.bbox if None.

bbox_transform : with which the bbox_to_anchor will be transformed.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.AuxTransformBox(aux_transform)

Bases: matplotlib.offsetbox.OffsetBox

Offset Box with the aux_transform . Its children will be transformed with the aux_transform first then will be offseted. The absolute coordinate of the aux_transform is meaning as it will be automatically adjust so that the left-lower corner of the bounding box of children will be set to (0,0) before the offset transform.

It is similar to drawing area, except that the extent of the box is not predetermined but calculated from the window extent of its children. Furthermore, the extent of the children will be calculated in the transformed coordinate.

class matplotlib.offsetbox.DraggableAnnotation(annotation, use_blit=False)

Bases: matplotlib.offsetbox.DraggableBase

class matplotlib.offsetbox.DraggableBase(ref_artist, use_blit=False)

Bases: object

helper code for a draggable artist (legend, offsetbox) The derived class must override following two method.

def saveoffset(self):

pass

def update_offset(self, dx, dy):

pass

saveoffset is called when the object is picked for dragging and it is meant to save reference position of the artist.

update_offset is called during the dragging. dx and dy is the pixel

offset from the point where the mouse drag started.

Optionally you may override following two methods.

def artist_picker(self, artist, evt):

return self.ref_artist.contains(evt)

def finalize_offset(self):

pass

artist_picker is a picker method that will be

used. finalize_offset is called when the mouse is released. In current implementaion of DraggableLegend and DraggableAnnotation, update_offset places the artists simply in display coordinates. And finalize_offset recalculate their position in the normalized axes coordinate and set a relavant attribute.
