如何使标题框的宽度跨越整个情节? [英] How do I make the width of the title box span the entire plot?

问题描述

考虑以下熊猫系列s 和 plot

将pandas导入为pd将 numpy 导入为 nps = pd.Series(np.random.lognormal(.001, .01, 100))ax = s.cumprod().plot()ax.set_title('My Log Normal Example', position=(.5, 1.02),背景色=黑色"，颜色=白色")

如何让包含标题的框跨越整个情节?

解决方案

当然可以得到标题的边界框，它是一个 Text 元素.这可以用

来完成

title = ax.set_title(...)bb = title.get_bbox_patch()

原则上，然后可以操纵边界框，例如通过bb.set_width(...).但是，一旦 matplotlib 将标题绘制到画布上，所有设置都会丢失.至少我是这样解释 Text 的 draw() 方法的.

我不知道设置边界框的其他方法.例如，legend 的边界框可以通过
设置plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0., 1.02, 1., .102), loc=3, mode="expand") 使其扩展到整个轴范围(请参阅

<小时>

以防万一有人对更轻松的解决方案感兴趣，还可以选择使用标题边界框的 mutation_aspect，在绘制标题时显然保持不变.虽然 mutation_aspect 本身基本上只改变盒子的高度，但可以为盒子使用极大的填充并将 mutation_aspect 设置为一个非常小的数字，这样在最后框出现宽度扩展.这种解决方案的明显缺点是，填充和方面的值必须通过反复试验找到，并且会因不同的字体和图形大小而改变.在我的例子中，mutation_aspect = 0.04 和 pad=11.9 的值产生了想要的结果，但在其他系统上，它们当然可能不同.

将 matplotlib.pyplot 导入为 plt将熊猫导入为 pd将 numpy 导入为 nps = pd.Series(np.random.lognormal(.001, .01, 100))ax = s.cumprod().plot()title = ax.set_title('My Log Normal Example', position=(.5, 1.02),背景色=黑色"，颜色=白色"，垂直对齐=底部"，水平对齐=中心")标题._bbox_patch._mutation_aspect = 0.04title.get_bbox_patch().set_boxstyle("square", pad=11.9)plt.tight_layout()plt.savefig(__file__+".png")plt.show()

consider the following pandas series s and plot

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

s = pd.Series(np.random.lognormal(.001, .01, 100))
ax = s.cumprod().plot()
ax.set_title('My Log Normal Example', position=(.5, 1.02),
             backgroundcolor='black', color='white')

How do I get the box that contains the title to span the entire plot?

解决方案

It is, of course, possible to get the bounding box of the title, which is a Text element. This can be done with

title = ax.set_title(...) 
bb = title.get_bbox_patch() 

In principle, one can then manipulate the bounding box, e.g. via bb.set_width(...). However, all settings are lost, once matplotlib draws the title to the canvas. At least this is how I interpret the Text's draw() method.

I'm not aware of other methods of setting the bounding box. For example a legend's bounding box can be set via
plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0., 1.02, 1., .102), loc=3, mode="expand") such that it expands over the full axes range (see here). It would be very useful to have the same option for Text as well. But as for now, we don't.

The Text object allows setting a bbox argument which is normally meant for setting the style of the bounding box. There is no way to set the bounding box extents, but it accepts some dictionary of properties of the surrounding box. And one of the accepted properties is a boxstyle. Per default, this is a square, but can be set to a circle or arrow or other strange shapes.

Those boxstyles are actually the key to a possible solution. They all inherit from BoxStyle._Base and - as can be seen at the bottom of the annotations guide - one can define a custom shape, subclassing BoxStyle._Base.

The following solution is based on subclassing BoxStyle._Base in a way that it accepts the width of the axes as an argument and draws the title's rectangle path such that it has exactly this width.

As a bonus, we can register an event handler such that this width, once it changes due to resizing of the window, is adapted.

Here is the code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

from matplotlib.path import Path
from matplotlib.patches import BoxStyle


class ExtendedTextBox(BoxStyle._Base):
    """
    An Extended Text Box that expands to the axes limits 
                        if set in the middle of the axes
    """

    def __init__(self, pad=0.3, width=500.):
        """
        width: 
            width of the textbox. 
            Use `ax.get_window_extent().width` 
                   to get the width of the axes.
        pad: 
            amount of padding (in vertical direction only)
        """
        self.width=width
        self.pad = pad
        super(ExtendedTextBox, self).__init__()

    def transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size):
        """
        x0 and y0 are the lower left corner of original text box
        They are set automatically by matplotlib
        """
        # padding
        pad = mutation_size * self.pad

        # we add the padding only to the box height
        height = height + 2.*pad
        # boundary of the padded box
        y0 = y0 - pad
        y1 = y0 + height
        _x0 = x0
        x0 = _x0 +width /2. - self.width/2.
        x1 = _x0 +width /2. + self.width/2.

        cp = [(x0, y0),
              (x1, y0), (x1, y1), (x0, y1),
              (x0, y0)]

        com = [Path.MOVETO,
               Path.LINETO, Path.LINETO, Path.LINETO,
               Path.CLOSEPOLY]

        path = Path(cp, com)

        return path

dpi = 80

# register the custom style
BoxStyle._style_list["ext"] = ExtendedTextBox

plt.figure(dpi=dpi)
s = pd.Series(np.random.lognormal(.001, .01, 100))
ax = s.cumprod().plot()
# set the title position to the horizontal center (0.5) of the axes
title = ax.set_title('My Log Normal Example', position=(.5, 1.02), 
             backgroundcolor='black', color='white')
# set the box style of the title text box toour custom box
bb = title.get_bbox_patch()
# use the axes' width as width of the text box
bb.set_boxstyle("ext", pad=0.4, width=ax.get_window_extent().width )


# Optionally: use eventhandler to resize the title box, in case the window is resized
def on_resize(event):
    print "resize"
    bb.set_boxstyle("ext", pad=0.4, width=ax.get_window_extent().width )

cid = plt.gcf().canvas.mpl_connect('resize_event', on_resize)

# use the same dpi for saving to file as for plotting on screen
plt.savefig(__file__+".png", dpi=dpi)
plt.show()

Just in case someone is interested in a lighter solution, there is also the option to play around with the mutation_aspect of the title's bounding box, which is apparently left unchanged when drawing the title. While the mutation_aspect itself basically only changes the height of the box, one can use extremely large padding for the box and set mutation_aspect to a very small number such that at the end the box appears extended in width. The clear drawback of this solution is, that the values for the padding and aspect have to be found by trial and error and will change for different font and figure sizes. In my case, the values of mutation_aspect = 0.04 and pad=11.9 produce the desired result, but on other systems, they may, of course, be different.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

s = pd.Series(np.random.lognormal(.001, .01, 100))
ax = s.cumprod().plot()
title = ax.set_title('My Log Normal Example', position=(.5, 1.02),
             backgroundcolor='black', color='white',
             verticalalignment="bottom", horizontalalignment="center")
title._bbox_patch._mutation_aspect = 0.04
title.get_bbox_patch().set_boxstyle("square", pad=11.9)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig(__file__+".png")
plt.show()
