matplotlib.backends.backend_agg — Matplotlib 3.10.1 documentation (original) (raw)

An Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) backend.

Features that are implemented:

Still TODO:

matplotlib.backends.backend_agg.FigureCanvas[source]#

alias of FigureCanvasAgg

class matplotlib.backends.backend_agg.FigureCanvasAgg(figure=None)[source]#

Bases: FigureCanvasBase

buffer_rgba()[source]#

Get the image as a memoryview to the renderer's buffer.

draw must be called at least once before this function will work and to update the renderer for any subsequent changes to the Figure.

copy_from_bbox(bbox)[source]#

draw()[source]#

Render the Figure.

This method must walk the artist tree, even if no output is produced, because it triggers deferred work that users may want to access before saving output to disk. For example computing limits, auto-limits, and tick values.

get_renderer()[source]#

print_jpeg(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a JPEG file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments that are passed toPIL.Image.Image.save when saving the figure.

print_jpg(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a JPEG file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments that are passed toPIL.Image.Image.save when saving the figure.

print_png(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a PNG file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

metadatadict, optional

Metadata in the PNG file as key-value pairs of bytes or latin-1 encodable strings. According to the PNG specification, keys must be shorter than 79 chars.

The PNG specification defines some common keywords that may be used as appropriate:

Other keywords may be invented for other purposes.

If 'Software' is not given, an autogenerated value for Matplotlib will be used. This can be removed by setting it to None.

For more details see the PNG specification.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Keyword arguments passed to PIL.Image.Image.save.

If the 'pnginfo' key is present, it completely overrides_metadata_, including the default 'Software' key.

print_raw(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None)[source]#

print_rgba(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None)[source]#

print_tif(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a TIFF file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments that are passed toPIL.Image.Image.save when saving the figure.

print_tiff(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a TIFF file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments that are passed toPIL.Image.Image.save when saving the figure.

print_to_buffer()[source]#

print_webp(filename_or_obj, *, metadata=None, pil_kwargs=None)[source]#

Write the figure to a WebP file.

Parameters:

filename_or_objstr or path-like or file-like

The file to write to.

pil_kwargsdict, optional

Additional keyword arguments that are passed toPIL.Image.Image.save when saving the figure.

restore_region(region, bbox=None, xy=None)[source]#

tostring_argb()[source]#

Get the image as ARGB bytes.

draw must be called at least once before this function will work and to update the renderer for any subsequent changes to the Figure.

class matplotlib.backends.backend_agg.RendererAgg(width, height, dpi)[source]#

Bases: RendererBase

The renderer handles all the drawing primitives using a graphics context instance that controls the colors/styles

buffer_rgba()[source]#

clear()[source]#

draw_mathtext(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle)[source]#

Draw mathtext using matplotlib.mathtext.

draw_path(gc, path, transform, rgbFace=None)[source]#

Draw a Path instance using the given affine transform.

draw_tex(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle, *, mtext=None)[source]#

Draw a TeX instance.

Parameters:

gcGraphicsContextBase

The graphics context.

xfloat

The x location of the text in display coords.

yfloat

The y location of the text baseline in display coords.

sstr

The TeX text string.

propFontProperties

The font properties.

anglefloat

The rotation angle in degrees anti-clockwise.

mtextText

The original text object to be rendered.

draw_text(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle, ismath=False, mtext=None)[source]#

Draw a text instance.

Parameters:

gcGraphicsContextBase

The graphics context.

xfloat

The x location of the text in display coords.

yfloat

The y location of the text baseline in display coords.

sstr

The text string.

propFontProperties

The font properties.

anglefloat

The rotation angle in degrees anti-clockwise.

ismathbool or "TeX"

If True, use mathtext parser.

mtextText

The original text object to be rendered.

Notes

Notes for backend implementers:

RendererBase.draw_text also supports passing "TeX" to the _ismath_parameter to use TeX rendering, but this is not required for actual rendering backends, and indeed many builtin backends do not support this. Rather, TeX rendering is provided by draw_tex.

get_canvas_width_height()[source]#

Return the canvas width and height in display coords.

get_text_width_height_descent(s, prop, ismath)[source]#

Get the width, height, and descent (offset from the bottom to the baseline), in display coords, of the string s with FontProperties prop.

Whitespace at the start and the end of s is included in the reported width.

option_image_nocomposite()[source]#

Return whether image composition by Matplotlib should be skipped.

Raster backends should usually return False (letting the C-level rasterizer take care of image composition); vector backends should usually return not rcParams["image.composite_image"].

option_scale_image()[source]#

Return whether arbitrary affine transformations in draw_image are supported (True for most vector backends).

points_to_pixels(points)[source]#

Convert points to display units.

You need to override this function (unless your backend doesn't have a dpi, e.g., postscript or svg). Some imaging systems assume some value for pixels per inch:

points to pixels = points * pixels_per_inch/72 * dpi/72

Parameters:

pointsfloat or array-like

Returns:

Points converted to pixels

restore_region(region, bbox=None, xy=None)[source]#

Restore the saved region. If bbox (instance of BboxBase, or its extents) is given, only the region specified by the bbox will be restored. xy (a pair of floats) optionally specifies the new position (the LLC of the original region, not the LLC of the bbox) where the region will be restored.

region = renderer.copy_from_bbox() x1, y1, x2, y2 = region.get_extents() renderer.restore_region(region, bbox=(x1+dx, y1, x2, y2), ... xy=(x1-dx, y1))

start_filter()[source]#

Start filtering. It simply creates a new canvas (the old one is saved).

stop_filter(post_processing)[source]#

Save the current canvas as an image and apply post processing.

The post_processing function:

def post_processing(image, dpi):

ny, nx, depth = image.shape

image (numpy array) has RGBA channels and has a depth of 4.

...

create a new_image (numpy array of 4 channels, size can be

different). The resulting image may have offsets from

lower-left corner of the original image

return new_image, offset_x, offset_y

The saved renderer is restored and the returned image from post_processing is plotted (using draw_image) on it.
