## Bricks class

 
  Parameters
  ----------
  - `bricks_dict`: dict
      Dictionaly of patchworklib.Brick class objects. The label name of each Brick 
      object is served as the dictionaly keys. 
  - `label`: str
      Unique identifier for the Bricks class object. The value can be used in layout 
      adjustment using label indexing. The value would be assigned to `self.label`.
  
  Attributes
  ----------
  - `case`: matplotlib.Axes.axes
      Invisible axes object surrounding Bricks object excluding common label, legend.
  - `outline`: patchworklib.Bricks
      New bricks object based on the invisible axes object surrounding all objects in 
      the original Bricks object including `case` axes.
  - `label`: str
      Unique identifier of the Bricks class object. If the Bricks object is 
      incorporated in the other super Bricks objects, by specifying the label name for 
      the super object as `Bricks_object[{label}]`, the Bricks object can be accessed from 
      the super Bricks object.
  - `bricks_dict`: dict
      Dictionary with labels of the Brick objects in the Bricks object as dictionary keys 
      and the corresponding Brick objects as dictionary values.
  
 
- ### **`set_supxlabel(self, xlabel, labelpad=None, *, loc=None, **args)`**
  
  
  Set a common xlabel for the Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object.
  A Bricks class object is composed of multiple Brick class objects and they 
  sometimes share common xaxis and yaxis labels.For such a case, you can remove 
  redundant labels to be drawn on the figure and can add common x axis label for 
  all Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object. Actually, this function is the 
  wrapper function of `self.case.set_xlabel`. 
  
  #### Parameters
  
  - `xlabel`: str
      xlabel value 
  - `labelpad`: int, default: 8
      Spacing in points from the virtual axes bounding box of the Bricks object.
  - `args`: dict
      Text properties control the appearance of the label.
  
  #### Returns
  
  matplotlib.text.Text
  
  
 
- ### **`set_supylabel(self, ylabel, labelpad=None, *, loc=None, **args)`**
  
  
  Set a common ylabel for the Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object.
  A Bricks class object is composed of multiple Brick class objects and they 
  sometimes share common xaxis and yaxis labels. For such a case, you can remove 
  redundant labels to be drawn on the figure and can add common y axis label for 
  all Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object. Actually, this function is the 
  wrapper function of `self.case.set_ylabel`.
  
  #### Parameters

  - `labelpad`: int, default: 8
      Spacing in points from the virtual axes bounding box of the Bricks object.
  
  - `args`: dict
      Text properties control the appearance of the label.
  
  #### Returns
  
  matplotlib.text.Text
  
  
 
- ### **`set_suptitle(self, title, loc=None, pad=None, **args)`**
  
  
  Set a common title for the Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object.
  A Bricks class object is composed of multiple Brick class objects and they 
  sometimes share common xaxis and yaxis labels. For such a case, you can set 
  common title for all Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object. Actually, this 
  function is the wrapper function of `self.case.set_title`.
  
  #### Parameters
  
  - `title`: str
      title value 
  - `loc`: str ("center", "left", "right), default "center"
      Which title to set.
  - `pad`: int, default: 12
      Spacing in points from the virtual axes bounding box of the Bricks object.
  - `args`: dict
      Text properties control the appearance of the label.
  
  #### Returns
  
  matplotlib.text.Text
  
  
 
- ### **`set_index(self, index, x=None, y=None, **args)`**
  
  
  Set a index label on 'upper left' of the Bricks object.
  An index labels can be added, such as those on sub-figures published in 
  scientific journals. Actually, this function is the wrapper function of 
  `self.case.text`.
  
  #### Parameters
  
  - `index`: str
      index value 
  - `x`: float
      By default, the value will be adjusted as index label is placed on 'upper left' 
      of the Bricks object. 
  - `y`: flaot, 
      By default, the value will be adjusted as index label is placed on 'upper left' 
      of the Bricks object.
  - `args`: dict
      Text properties control the appearance of the label.
  
  #### Returns
  
  matplotlib.text.Text
  
  
 
- ### **`set_text(self, x, y, text, **args)`**
- ### **`set_supspine(self, which='left', visible=True, position=None, bounds=None)`**
   
  
  Set a common spine for the Bric(s) objects in the Bricks object.   
  The spines of `self.case` surrounding the Bricks object are invisible by default. 
  However, by applying this methods, a specified spine will be visible.
  
  #### Parameters
  
  - `which`: str ('left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom'), default: 'left'
      Kind of the spine 
  - `visible`: bool, default: True
      Setting of Show/hide the spine
  - `position`: tuple (position type ('outward', 'axes', 'data'), amount (float)), 
      Position of the spine. 
      For details, please see 'https://matplotlib.org/3.5.1/api/spines_api.html'.
  - `bounds`: tuple (float, float), 
      Bounds of the spine. 
      For details, please see 'https://matplotlib.org/3.5.1/api/spines_api.html'.
  
  #### Returns
  
  matplotlib.spines.Spine

  Set a common colorbar for Brick(s) objects in the Bricks object and return 
  a new Bricks object including the colorbar.
  
  #### Parameters
  
  - `cmap`: Colormap, default: 'viridis'
      The colormap to use.
  - `x`: float, default: None
      if args['orientation'] is 'vertical', the value will be adjusted as the colorbar 
      is placed on 'lower right' of the Bricks object. if args['orientation'] is 
      'horizontal', the value will be adjusted as the colorbar is placed on 'lower center' 
      of the Bricks object. The zero position for `x` is the most left axes of the Brick 
      objects in the Bricks object.
  - `y`: float, default: None
      if args['orientation'] is 'vertical', the value will be adjusted as the colorbar 
      is placed on 'lower right' of the Bricks object. if args['orientation'] is 
      'horizontal', the value will be adjusted as the colorbar is placed on 'lower center' 
      of the Bricks object. The zero position for `y` is the most bottom axes of the 
      Brick objects in the Bricks object.
  - `vmin`: float, default: 0
      Minimum value to anchor the colormap.
  - `vmax`: float, default: 1
      Maximum value to anchor the colormap.

      base zero positions. if "relative", the values of x and y will mean the relative 
      distances based on width and height of Bricks object from the base zero positions.
    
    
  #### Returns
  
  patchworklib.Bricks object
