matplotlib.pyplot.broken_barh

matplotlib.pyplot.broken_barh(xranges, yrange, hold=None, data=None, **kwargs)

Plot a horizontal sequence of rectangles.

A rectangle is drawn for each element of xranges. All rectangles have the same vertical position and size defined by yrange.

This is a convenience function for instantiating a BrokenBarHCollection, adding it to the axes and autoscaling the view.

Parameters:

xranges : sequence of tuples (xmin, xwidth)

The x-positions and extends of the rectangles. For each tuple (xmin, xwidth) a rectangle is drawn from xmin to xmin + xwidth.

yranges : (ymin, ymax)

The y-position and extend for all the rectangles.

Returns:

:class:`matplotlib.collections.BrokenBarHCollection`

Other Parameters:

**kwargs : BrokenBarHCollection properties

Each kwarg can be either a single argument applying to all rectangles, e.g.:

facecolors='black'

or a sequence of arguments over which is cycled, e.g.:

facecolors=('black', 'blue')

would create interleaving black and blue rectangles.
