# matplotlib.axes.Axes.get_xaxis_transform

`Axes.``get_xaxis_transform`(which=’grid’)

  Get the transformation used for drawing x-axis labels, ticks and gridlines. The x-direction is in data coordinates and the y-direction is in axis coordinates.

  Note

  This transformation is primarily used by the `Axis` class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.
