matplotlib.axes.Axes.indicate_inset_zoom#

Axes.indicate_inset_zoom(inset_ax, **kwargs)[source]#

Add an inset indicator rectangle to the Axes based on the axis limits for an inset_ax and draw connectors between inset_ax and the rectangle.

Parameters:

inset_axAxes: Inset Axes to draw connecting lines to. Two lines are drawn connecting the indicator box to the inset Axes on corners chosen so as to not overlap with the indicator box.
**kwargs: Other keyword arguments are passed on to Axes.indicate_inset

Returns:

inset_indicatorinset.InsetIndicator

An artist which contains

inset_indicator.rectangleRectangle: The indicator frame.
inset_indicator.connectors4-tuple of patches.ConnectionPatch: The four connector lines connecting to (lower_left, upper_left, lower_right upper_right) corners of inset_ax. Two lines are set with visibility to False, but the user can set the visibility to True if the automatic choice is not deemed correct.

Changed in version 3.10: Previously the rectangle and connectors tuple were returned.

Warning

This method is experimental as of 3.0, and the API may change.
