How do I get the positions of the xtick major labels? The values that I am getting from label.get_position() do not make sense.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def f(t):
return np.exp(-t) * np.cos(2*np.pi*t)
t1 = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.1)
t2 = np.arange(0.0, 5.0, 0.02)
# fig, ax = plt.figure(1)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.plot(t1, f(t1), 'bo', t2, f(t2), 'k')
# plt.show()
print(fig)
print(ax.get_position())
# ------------------------------------------------
# positions of the tick labels, incorrect (0,0) returned
# ------------------------------------------------
print([text.get_position() for text in ax.get_xticklabels()])
# correct tick label values
print(ax.get_xticks())
Output from the above code is:
Figure(640x480)
Bbox('array([[ 0.125, 0.1 ],\n [ 0.9 , 0.9 ]])')
[(0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0), (0.0, 0.0)] <-- incorrect positions
[ 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.]
How do I get the positions of the xtick major labels? The values that I am getting from label.get_position() do not make sense. Is there a transform that I don't know about? Ultimately I want the position of the text boxes in (x,y) image pixel units.
