Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Artist class contains Abstract base class for objects that render into a FigureCanvas. All visible elements in a figure are subclasses of Artist.

matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_zorder() method

The get_zorder() method in artist module of matplotlib library is used to get the artist’s zorder.
Syntax: Artist.get_zorder(self) Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. Returns: This method return the artist’s zorder.
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_zorder() function in matplotlib: Example 1: Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
    

d = np.arange(100).reshape(10, 10) 
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(11), np.arange(11)) 
    
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
    
ax.set_aspect(1) 
ax.pcolormesh(xx, yy, d) 
  
ax.text(3, 9.5, "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Artist.get_zorder(ax)), 
        fontweight ="bold") 

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_zorder()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

plt.show()
Output: Example 2: Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.artist import Artist  
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
    

xx = np.random.rand(16, 30) 
    
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
    
ax.pcolor(xx) 
ax.set_zorder(-20) 
  
ax.set_title( "Zorder Value : "
        + str(Artist.get_zorder(ax)), 
        fontweight ="bold") 

fig.suptitle('matplotlib.artist.Artist.get_zorder()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

plt.show()
Output:
