This example shows how to create Path
and PathPatch
objects through
Matplotlib's API.
import matplotlib.path as mpath
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
Path = mpath.Path
path_data = [
(Path.MOVETO, (1.58, -2.57)),
(Path.CURVE4, (0.35, -1.1)),
(Path.CURVE4, (-1.75, 2.0)),
(Path.CURVE4, (0.375, 2.0)),
(Path.LINETO, (0.85, 1.15)),
(Path.CURVE4, (2.2, 3.2)),
(Path.CURVE4, (3, 0.05)),
(Path.CURVE4, (2.0, -0.5)),
(Path.CLOSEPOLY, (1.58, -2.57)),
]
codes, verts = zip(*path_data)
path = mpath.Path(verts, codes)
patch = mpatches.PathPatch(path, facecolor='r', alpha=0.5)
ax.add_patch(patch)
# plot control points and connecting lines
x, y = zip(*path.vertices)
line, = ax.plot(x, y, 'go-')
ax.grid()
ax.axis('equal')
plt.show()
The use of the following functions, methods, classes and modules is shown in this example:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.path
matplotlib.path.Path
matplotlib.patches
matplotlib.patches.PathPatch
matplotlib.axes.Axes.add_patch
Out:
<function _AxesBase.add_patch at 0x7fb11b43e730>
