matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes#
- Axes.inset_axes(bounds,*,transform=None,zorder=5,**kwargs)[source]#
Add a child inset Axes to this existing Axes.
- Parameters:
- bounds[x0, y0, width, height]
Lower-left corner of inset Axes, and its width and height.
- transform
Transform Defaults to
ax.transAxes, i.e. the units ofrect are inAxes-relative coordinates.- projection{None, 'aitoff', 'hammer', 'lambert', 'mollweide', 'polar', 'rectilinear', str}, optional
The projection type of the inset
Axes.str is the nameof a custom projection, seeprojections. The defaultNone results in a 'rectilinear' projection.- polarbool, default: False
If True, equivalent to projection='polar'.
- axes_classsubclass type of
Axes, optional The
axes.Axessubclass that is instantiated. This parameteris incompatible withprojection andpolar. Seeaxisartist for examples.- zordernumber
Defaults to 5 (same as
Axes.legend). Adjust higher or lowerto change whether it is above or below data plotted on theparent Axes.- **kwargs
Other keyword arguments are passed on to the inset Axes class.
- Returns:
- ax
The created
Axesinstance.
Examples
This example makes two inset Axes, the first is in Axes-relativecoordinates, and the second in data-coordinates:
fig,ax=plt.subplots()ax.plot(range(10))axin1=ax.inset_axes([0.8,0.1,0.15,0.15])axin2=ax.inset_axes([5,7,2.3,2.3],transform=ax.transData)
