呵呵。那是因为没有类AxesSubplot
..直到需要一个,当一个从SubplotBase
. 这是通过一些魔术完成的axes.py
:
def subplot_class_factory(axes_class=None):
# This makes a new class that inherits from SubplotBase and the
# given axes_class (which is assumed to be a subclass of Axes).
# This is perhaps a little bit roundabout to make a new class on
# the fly like this, but it means that a new Subplot class does
# not have to be created for every type of Axes.
if axes_class is None:
axes_class = Axes
new_class = _subplot_classes.get(axes_class)
if new_class is None:
new_class = new.classobj("%sSubplot" % (axes_class.__name__),
(SubplotBase, axes_class),
{'_axes_class': axes_class})
_subplot_classes[axes_class] = new_class
return new_class
所以它是即时制作的,但它是以下的子类SubplotBase
:
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> print type(ax)
<class 'matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot'>
>>> b = type(ax)
>>> import matplotlib.axes
>>> issubclass(b, matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase)
True
