matplotlib 3.5.1

ParametersReturns
findobj(self, match=None, include_self=True)

Recursively find all .Artist instances contained in the artist.

Parameters

match :

A filter criterion for the matches. This can be

  • None: Return all objects contained in artist.

  • A function with signature def match(artist: Artist) -> bool . The result will only contain artists for which the function returns True.

  • A class instance: e.g., .Line2D . The result will only contain artists of this class or its subclasses ( isinstance check).

include_self : bool

Include self in the list to be checked for a match.

Returns

list of `.Artist`

Find artist objects.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
