matplotlib.patches.Ellipse¶

class matplotlib.patches.Ellipse(xy, width, height, angle=0, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

A scale-free ellipse.

Parameters:	xy : (float, float) xy coordinates of ellipse centre. width : float Total length (diameter) of horizontal axis. height : float Total length (diameter) of vertical axis. angle : scalar, optional Rotation in degrees anti-clockwise.

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 unknown

capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'}

clip_box Bbox

clip_on bool

clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]

color color

contains callable

edgecolor or ec color or None or 'auto'

facecolor or fc color or None

figure Figure

fill bool

gid str

hatch {'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'}

in_layout bool

joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}

label object

linestyle or ls {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...}

linewidth or lw float or None

path_effects AbstractPathEffect

picker None or bool or float or callable

rasterized bool or None

sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)

snap bool or None

transform Transform

url str

visible bool

zorder float

center¶: Return the center of the ellipse

get_center(self)[source]¶: Return the center of the ellipse

get_patch_transform(self)[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(self)[source]¶: Return the path of the ellipse

set_center(self, xy)[source]¶

Set the center of the ellipse.

Parameters:	xy : (float, float)
