【问题描述】：

我正在尝试在 matplotlib 中的轴末端设置一个箭头。 我不想移除刺并用纯箭头替换它们，因为我需要它们的功能......

我的实现is as slight modification of joferkington implementation

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def arrowed_spines(ax=None, arrowLength=30, labels=('X', 'Y'), arrowStyle='<|-'):
    xlabel, ylabel = labels

    for i, spine in enumerate(['left', 'bottom']):
        # Set up the annotation parameters
        t = ax.spines[spine].get_transform()
        xy, xycoords = [1, 0], ('axes fraction', t)
        xytext, textcoords = [arrowLength, 0], ('offset points', t)

        # create arrowprops
        arrowprops = dict( arrowstyle=arrowStyle,
                           facecolor=ax.spines[spine].get_facecolor(), 
                           linewidth=ax.spines[spine].get_linewidth(),
                           alpha = ax.spines[spine].get_alpha(),
                           zorder=ax.spines[spine].get_zorder(),
                           linestyle = ax.spines[spine].get_linestyle() )

        if spine is 'bottom':
            ha, va = 'left', 'center'
            xarrow = ax.annotate(xlabel, xy, xycoords=xycoords, xytext=xytext, 
                        textcoords=textcoords, ha=ha, va='center',
                        arrowprops=arrowprops)
        else:
            ha, va = 'center', 'bottom'
            yarrow = ax.annotate(ylabel, xy[::-1], xycoords=xycoords[::-1], 
                        xytext=xytext[::-1], textcoords=textcoords[::-1], 
                        ha='center', va=va, arrowprops=arrowprops)
    return xarrow, yarrow

# plot
x = np.arange(-2., 10.0, 0.01)
plt.plot(x, x**2)
plt.gcf().set_facecolor('white')    
ax = plt.gca()
ax.set_xticks([]) 
ax.set_yticks([]) 

ax.spines['left'].set_position('center')
ax.spines['right'].set_color('none')
ax.spines['bottom'].set_position('center')
ax.spines['top'].set_color('none')

arrowed_spines(ax)

plt.show()

绘图结果显示箭头移位如下

似乎一两点的偏移在起始位置和箭头与脊椎的对齐方面是一致的。我不知道如何解决这个问题。任何帮助将不胜感激。

谢谢

【问题讨论】：

应该包括对源要点的引用：gist.github.com/joferkington/3845684

我推荐ax.spines['left'].set_position('zero') 而不是ax.spines['left'].set_position('center')，这样轴会在原点相交。

这是一个快速破解解决方法：ax.spines['bottom'].set_position(('data', 0.001))

【参考方案1】：

我在matplotlib documentation 中找到了最直接的解决方案。下面是一个例子：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# Move the left and bottom spines to x = 0 and y = 0, respectively.
ax.spines["left"].set_position(("data", 0))
ax.spines["bottom"].set_position(("data", 0))
# Hide the top and right spines.
ax.spines["top"].set_visible(False)
ax.spines["right"].set_visible(False)

# Draw arrows (as black triangles: ">k"/"^k") at the end of the axes.  In each
# case, one of the coordinates (0) is a data coordinate (i.e., y = 0 or x = 0,
# respectively) and the other one (1) is an axes coordinate (i.e., at the very
# right/top of the axes).  Also, disable clipping (clip_on=False) as the marker
# actually spills out of the axes.
ax.plot(1, 0, ">k", transform=ax.get_yaxis_transform(), clip_on=False)
ax.plot(0, 1, "^k", transform=ax.get_xaxis_transform(), clip_on=False)

# Some sample data.
x = np.linspace(-0.5, 1., 100)
ax.plot(x, np.sin(x*np.pi))

plt.show()

【参考方案2】：

有一个示例展示了如何使用mpl_toolkits.axisartist 工具包将箭头作为轴装饰器in the matplotlib documentation：

from mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines import SubplotZero
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np


fig = plt.figure()
ax = SubplotZero(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)

for direction in ["xzero", "yzero"]:
    # adds arrows at the ends of each axis
    ax.axis[direction].set_axisline_style("-|>")

    # adds X and Y-axis from the origin
    ax.axis[direction].set_visible(True)

for direction in ["left", "right", "bottom", "top"]:
    # hides borders
    ax.axis[direction].set_visible(False)

x = np.linspace(-0.5, 1., 100)
ax.plot(x, np.sin(x*np.pi))

plt.show()

---

在许多情况下，不希望使用mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axislines 模块。在这种情况下，您还可以通过在刺的顶部使用三角形作为标记来轻松获得箭头：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 100)
y = 2 * np.sin(x)

rc = "xtick.direction" : "inout", "ytick.direction" : "inout",
      "xtick.major.size" : 5, "ytick.major.size" : 5,
with plt.rc_context(rc):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.plot(x, y)

    ax.spines['left'].set_position('zero')
    ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
    ax.spines['bottom'].set_position('zero')
    ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
    ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
    ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')

    # make arrows
    ax.plot((1), (0), ls="", marker=">", ms=10, color="k",
            transform=ax.get_yaxis_transform(), clip_on=False)
    ax.plot((0), (1), ls="", marker="^", ms=10, color="k",
            transform=ax.get_xaxis_transform(), clip_on=False)

    plt.show()

【讨论】：

除非你想以错误的方式做事并因重新调整你的情节而受苦，否则这就是要走的路

【参考方案3】：

在这里，我结合了 Julien 和 s3b4s 的现有答案，并使函数更通用，以便您可以指定要修改的轴和箭头的方向。

        ax,

        ohg=0.3,
        locations=('bottom right', 'left up'),
        **arrow_kwargs

    arrow_kwargs.update('length_includes_head': True)

    # axis line width
    if lw is None:
        # FIXME: does this still work if the left spine has been deleted?
        lw = ax.spines['left'].get_linewidth()

    annots = 

    xmin, xmax = ax.get_xlim()
    ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim()

    # get width and height of axes object to compute
    # matching arrowhead length and width
    fig = ax.get_figure()
    dps = fig.dpi_scale_trans.inverted()
    bbox = ax.get_window_extent().transformed(dps)
    width, height = bbox.width, bbox.height

    # manual arrowhead width and length
    hw = x_width_fraction * (ymax-ymin)
    hl = x_height_fraction * (xmax-xmin)

    yhl = hl/(xmax-xmin)*(ymax-ymin)* width/height

    # draw x and y axis
    for loc_str in locations:
        side, direction = loc_str.split(' ')
        assert side in 'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right', "Unsupported side"
        assert direction in 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right', "Unsupported direction"

        if side in 'bottom', 'top':
            if direction in 'up', 'down':
                raise ValueError("Only left/right arrows supported on the bottom and top")

            dy = 0
            head_width = hw
            head_length = hl

            y = ymin if side == 'bottom' else ymax

            if direction == 'right':
                x = xmin
                dx = xmax - xmin
            else:
                x = xmax
                dx = xmin - xmax

        else:
            if direction in 'left', 'right':
                raise ValueError("Only up/downarrows supported on the left and right")
            dx = 0

            if direction == 'up':
                y = ymin
                dy = ymax - ymin
            else:
                y = ymax
                dy = ymin - ymax


        annots[loc_str] = ax.arrow(x, y, dx, dy, fc='k', ec='k', lw = lw,
                 head_width=head_width, head_length=head_length, **arrow_kwargs)

    return annots


fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
x = np.arange(-2., 10.0, 0.01)
ax.plot(x, x**2)
fig.set_facecolor('white')

annots = arrowed_spines(ax, locations=('bottom right', 'bottom left', 'left up', 'right down'))

plt.show()

结果：

突出问题：我试图匹配现有脊椎的线宽，但由于某种原因，箭头似乎有更粗的线。对此进行实验表明，0.8 的脊线线宽与大约 0.3 的箭头线宽相匹配。不知道为什么会这样 - 目前您必须将 lw=<value> 设置为手动修复。

【参考方案4】：

为了得到你想要的，从arrowed_spines函数中删除以下部分后，Julien的回答就足够了：

# removing the default axis on all sides:
for side in ['bottom','right','top','left']:
    ax.spines[side].set_visible(False)

# removing the axis ticks
plt.xticks([]) # labels 
plt.yticks([])
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('none') # tick markers
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('none')

在包含箭头后仍然可以修改脊椎，如您在此处看到的：

【讨论】：

您可能希望保持顶部和右侧的脊椎不存在。

【参考方案5】：

您可以删除所有的刺并扩大箭头以覆盖数据范围（找到此代码here）：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def arrowed_spines(fig, ax):

    xmin, xmax = ax.get_xlim() 
    ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim()

    # removing the default axis on all sides:
    for side in ['bottom','right','top','left']:
        ax.spines[side].set_visible(False)

    # removing the axis ticks
    plt.xticks([]) # labels 
    plt.yticks([])
    ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('none') # tick markers
    ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('none')

    # get width and height of axes object to compute 
    # matching arrowhead length and width
    dps = fig.dpi_scale_trans.inverted()
    bbox = ax.get_window_extent().transformed(dps)
    width, height = bbox.width, bbox.height

    # manual arrowhead width and length
    hw = 1./20.*(ymax-ymin) 
    hl = 1./20.*(xmax-xmin)
    lw = 1. # axis line width
    ohg = 0.3 # arrow overhang

    # compute matching arrowhead length and width
    yhw = hw/(ymax-ymin)*(xmax-xmin)* height/width 
    yhl = hl/(xmax-xmin)*(ymax-ymin)* width/height

    # draw x and y axis
    ax.arrow(xmin, 0, xmax-xmin, 0., fc='k', ec='k', lw = lw, 
             head_width=hw, head_length=hl, overhang = ohg, 
             length_includes_head= True, clip_on = False) 

    ax.arrow(0, ymin, 0., ymax-ymin, fc='k', ec='k', lw = lw, 
             head_width=yhw, head_length=yhl, overhang = ohg, 
             length_includes_head= True, clip_on = False)


# plot
x = np.arange(-2., 10.0, 0.01)
plt.plot(x, x**2)
fig = plt.gcf()
fig.set_facecolor('white') 
ax = plt.gca()

arrowed_spines(fig, ax)

plt.show()

【讨论】：

我不想移除脊椎，因为我仍然需要网格、刻度和脊椎的所有其他功能。我的代码是我需要做的事情的简化示例

好的。然后，我建议您在问题中告诉我们您实际需要做什么。

我需要能够在脊椎上添加箭头，同时保留脊椎及其所有功能
