class matplotlib.container.BarContainer(patches, errorbar=None, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.container.Container

Container for the artists of bar plots (e.g. created by Axes.bar).

errorbar	(None or ErrorbarContainer) A container for the error bar artists if error bars are present. None otherwise.

class matplotlib.container.Container(kl, label=None)

Containers are classes that collect semantically related Artists such as the bars of a bar plot.

add_callback(func)

Returns an id that is useful for removing the callback with remove_callback() later.

get_children()

get_label()

Get the label used for this artist in the legend.

pchanged()

Fire an event when property changed, calling all of the registered callbacks.

has_xerr, has_yerr	(bool) True if the errorbar has x/y errors.

class matplotlib.container.StemContainer(markerline_stemlines_baseline, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.container.Container

The container can be treated like a namedtuple (markerline, stemlines, baseline).

Attributes

stemlines	(list of Line2D) The artists of the vertical lines for all stems.
baseline	(Line2D) The artist of the horizontal baseline.
