Matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_fc() in Python

Last Updated : 19 Apr, 2020

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical - mathematical extension for NumPy library. The Axes Class contains most of the figure elements: Axis, Tick, Line2D, Text, Polygon, etc., and sets the coordinate system. And the instances of Axes supports callbacks through a callbacks attribute.

matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_fc() Function

The Axes.get_fc() function in axes module of matplotlib library is used to get the facecolor of the Axes.

Syntax: Axes.get_fc(self) Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters. Returns:This method returns facecolor values.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_fc() function in matplotlib.axes: Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
 
ax.set_fc('# B6ABF0')
ax.set_xlabel('x-axis')
ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], color ="black")
 
x = ax.get_fc()
ax.text(0, 3.15, "Facecolor : " +str(x), 
        style ='italic', fontsize = 10,
        color ="green")
ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_fc() \
Example\n', fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()

Output:

Example 2:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   
t = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0, 201)
s = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_fc('# 339E17')
ax.set_xlabel('x-axis')
ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')
ax.plot(t, s)
x = ax.get_fc()
ax.text(0, 1.15, "Facecolor : " +str(x), 
       style ='italic', fontsize = 10, 
       color ="green")

ax.set_title('matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_fc()\
 Example\n', fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold')
plt.show()
