Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_contains() function in matplotlib.axis: 

Example 1: 

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Tick
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
import numpy as np
from numpy.random import rand
  
  
fig, ax2 = plt.subplots()
  
ax2.bar(range(10), rand(10), picker=True)
  
for label in ax2.get_xticklabels():
    label.set_picker(True)
  
  
def onpick1(event):
  
    if isinstance(event.artist, Line2D):
        thisline = event.artist
        xdata = thisline.get_xdata()
        ydata = thisline.get_ydata()
        ind = event.ind
        print('onpick1 line:',
              np.column_stack([xdata[ind],
                               ydata[ind]]))
  
    elif isinstance(event.artist, Rectangle):

    elif isinstance(event.artist, Text):
        text = event.artist
        print('onpick1 text:', text.get_text())
  
  
Tick.set_contains(ax2, picker=onpick1)
  
ax2.text(0.5, 0.8,
         "Value Return : "
         + str(Tick.get_contains(ax2)),
         fontweight="bold", fontsize=10)
  
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Tick.get_contains()
