Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface. There are various plots which can be used in Pyplot are Line Plot, Contour, Histogram, Scatter, 3D Plot, etc. The sca() method pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to set the current axes to be a.

Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.sca(self, a) Parameters: This method accept the following parameters that are discussed below:

• a:This parameter is the current axes.

Returns: This method returns the axes.

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.sca() function in matplotlib.figure: Example 1: Python3 1==

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy import sin, cos


fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 1)
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

y1 = sin(x)
y2 = cos(x)

plt.sca(ax[0])
plt.plot(x, y1)

plt.sca(ax[1])
plt.plot(x, y2)

fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.pyplot.sca()
function Example\n\n""", fontweight ="bold") 
  
plt.show() 

Output: Example 2: Python3 1==

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 

fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2) 
axes = axes.flatten() 

for i in range(4):
    plt.sca(axes[i])
    axes[i].text(0.5, 0.5, i + 1)
    
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.pyplot.sca()
function Example\n\n""", fontweight ="bold") 
  
plt.show()  

Output:
