Axes.broken_barh(xranges, yrange, *, data=None, **kwargs)

Plot horizontal bars.

A collection of horizontal bars spanning yrange with a sequence of xranges.

Required arguments:

Argument Description
xranges sequence of (xmin, xwidth)
yrange sequence of (ymin, ywidth)

kwargs are matplotlib.collections.BrokenBarHCollection properties:

Property Description
agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array
alpha float or None
animated bool
antialiased or antialiaseds Boolean or sequence of booleans
array ndarray
clim a length 2 sequence of floats
clip_box a Bbox instance
clip_on bool
clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]
cmap a colormap or registered colormap name
color matplotlib color arg or sequence of rgba tuples
contains a callable function
edgecolor or edgecolors matplotlib color spec or sequence of specs
facecolor or facecolors matplotlib color spec or sequence of specs
figure a Figure instance
gid an id string
hatch [ ‘/’ | ‘' | ‘|’ | ‘-‘ | ‘+’ | ‘x’ | ‘o’ | ‘O’ | ‘.’ | ‘*’ ]
label object
linestyle or dashes or linestyles [‘solid’ | ‘dashed’, ‘dashdot’, ‘dotted’ | (offset, on-off-dash-seq) | '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'None' | ' ' | '']
linewidth or linewidths or lw float or sequence of floats
norm Normalize
offset_position [ ‘screen’ | ‘data’ ]
offsets float or sequence of floats
path_effects AbstractPathEffect
picker [None | bool | float | callable]
pickradius float distance in points
rasterized bool or None
sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)
snap bool or None
transform Transform
url a url string
urls List[str] or None
visible bool
zorder float

these can either be a single argument, i.e.,:

facecolors = 'black'

or a sequence of arguments for the various bars, i.e.,:

facecolors = ('black', 'red', 'green')

Note

In addition to the above described arguments, this function can take a data keyword argument. If such a data argument is given, the following arguments are replaced by data[<arg>]:

  • All positional and all keyword arguments.
