class matplotlib.patches.Shadow(patch, ox, oy, props=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create a shadow of the given patch offset by ox, oy. props, if not None, is a patch property update dictionary. If None, the shadow will have have the same color as the face, but darkened.

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

capstyle ['butt' | 'round' | 'projecting']
clip_box a Bbox instance
clip_on bool
clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]

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' | '.' | '*']

transform Transform
url a url string
visible bool
zorder float
draw(renderer)[source]

Draw the Patch to the given renderer.

get_patch_transform()[source]

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()[source]

Return the path of this patch
