matplotlib.patches.Polygon

class matplotlib.patches.Polygon(xy, closed=True, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

A general polygon patch.

xy is a numpy array with shape Nx2.

If closed is True, the polygon will be closed so the starting and ending points are the same.

Valid keyword arguments are:

get_closed(self)[source]

Returns if the polygon is closed

Returns:
closedbool

If the path is closed
get_path(self)[source]

Get the path of the polygon

Returns:
pathPath

The Path object for the polygon.
get_xy(self)[source]

Get the vertices of the path.

Returns:
vertices(N, 2) numpy array

The coordinates of the vertices.
set_closed(self, closed)[source]

Set if the polygon is closed

Parameters:
closedbool

True if the polygon is closed
set_xy(self, xy)[source]

Set the vertices of the polygon.

Parameters:
xy(N, 2) array-like

The coordinates of the vertices.
property xy

The vertices of the path as (N, 2) numpy array.
