matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon

class matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon(xy, numVertices, radius=5, orientation=0, **kwargs)

A regular polygon patch.

Constructor arguments:

xy

A length 2 tuple (x, y) of the center.

numVertices

the number of vertices.

radius

The distance from the center to each of the vertices.

orientation

rotates the polygon (in radians).

Valid kwargs are:

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 aa	bool or None
capstyle	[‘butt’ | ‘round’ | ‘projecting’]
clip_box	a Bbox instance
clip_on	bool
clip_path	[(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]
color	matplotlib color spec
contains	a callable function
edgecolor or ec	mpl color spec, None, ‘none’, or ‘auto’
facecolor or fc	mpl color spec, or None for default, or ‘none’ for no color
figure	a Figure instance
fill	bool
gid	an id string
hatch	[‘/’ | ‘' | ‘|’ | ‘-‘ | ‘+’ | ‘x’ | ‘o’ | ‘O’ | ‘.’ | ‘*’]
joinstyle	[‘miter’ | ‘round’ | ‘bevel’]
label	object
linestyle or ls	[‘solid’ | ‘dashed’, ‘dashdot’, ‘dotted’ | (offset, on-off-dash-seq) | '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'None' | ' ' | '']
linewidth or lw	float or None for default
path_effects	AbstractPathEffect
picker	[None | bool | float | callable]
rasterized	bool or None
sketch_params	(scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)
snap	bool or None
transform	Transform
url	a url string
visible	bool
zorder	float

get_patch_transform()

Return the Transform instance which takes patch coordinates to data coordinates.

For example, one may define a patch of a circle which represents a radius of 5 by providing coordinates for a unit circle, and a transform which scales the coordinates (the patch coordinate) by 5.

get_path()

Return the path of this patch

numvertices

orientation

radius

xy
