nilearn.plotting.displays.BaseAxes

class nilearn.plotting.displays.BaseAxes(ax, direction, coord, radiological=False)

An MPL axis-like object that displays a 2D view of 3D volumes.

Parameters:

axAxes

The matplotlib axes in which the plots will be drawn.

direction{‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’}

The directions of the view.

coordfloat

The coordinate along the direction of the cut.

radiologicalbool, default=False

Invert x axis and R L labels to plot sections as a radiological view. If False (default), the left hemisphere is on the left of a coronal image. If True, left hemisphere is on the right.

__init__(ax, direction, coord, radiological=False)

transform_to_2d(data, affine)

Transform to a 2D.

add_object_bounds(bounds)

Ensure that axes get rescaled when adding object bounds.

draw_2d(data_2d, data_bounds, bounding_box, type='imshow', **kwargs)

Draw 2D.

get_object_bounds()

Return the bounds of the objects on this axes.

draw_left_right(size, bg_color, **kwargs)

Draw the annotation “L” for left, and “R” for right.

Parameters:

sizefloat, optional

Size of the text areas.

bg_colormatplotlib color: str or (r, g, b) value

The background color for both text areas.

draw_scale_bar(bg_color, size=5.0, units='cm', fontproperties=None, frameon=False, loc=4, pad=0.1, borderpad=0.5, sep=5, size_vertical=0, label_top=False, color='black', fontsize=None, **kwargs)

Add a scale bar annotation to the display.

Parameters:

bg_colormatplotlib color: str or (r, g, b) value

The background color of the scale bar annotation.

sizefloat, default=5.0

Horizontal length of the scale bar, given in units.

unitsstr, default=’cm’

Physical units of the scale bar (‘cm’ or ‘mm’).

fontpropertiesFontProperties or dict, optional

Font properties for the label text.

frameonbool, default=False

Whether the scale bar is plotted with a border.

locint, default=4

Location of this scale bar. Valid location codes are documented here.

padint or float, default=0.1

Padding around the label and scale bar, in fraction of the font size.

borderpadint or float, default=0.5

Border padding, in fraction of the font size.

sepint or float, default=5

Separation between the label and the scale bar, in points.

size_verticalint or float, default=0

Vertical length of the size bar, given in units.

label_topbool, default=False

If True, the label will be over the scale bar.

colorstr, default=’black’

Color for the scale bar and label.

fontsizeint, optional

Label font size (overwrites the size passed in through the fontproperties argument).

**kwargs

Keyworded arguments to pass to AnchoredOffsetbox.

draw_position(size, bg_color, **kwargs)

draw_position is not implemented in base class and should be implemented in derived classes.
