Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025

Matplotlib

is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. The

matplotlib.axes.Axes.update() Function

The

Axes.update() function

in axes module of matplotlib library is used to update this artist's properties from the dictionary props.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axes.Axes.update() function in matplotlib.axes:

Example 1: Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
      
np.random.seed(10**7)
geeks = np.random.randn(100)
 
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.acorr(geeks, usevlines = True,
         normed = True,
         maxlags = 80, lw = 3)

ax.grid(True)

prop = {'xticks': np.array([-10., -5.,  0.,   5., 10. ]),
        'yticks': np.array([-0.2,  0.2,  0.6,  1.,  1.4]),
        'ylabel': None, 'xlabel': None}

ax.update(prop)
 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.update()\
 function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

plt.show() 
Output: Example 2: Python3
# Implementation of matplotlib function 
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 


xx = np.random.rand(16, 30) 
   
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
   
m = ax.pcolor(xx) 
m.set_zorder(-20)
prop = {'autoscalex_on': False}
w = ax.update(prop)
 
fig.suptitle('matplotlib.axes.Axes.update()\
function Example', fontweight ="bold") 

plt.show() 
Output:
