================================
Reference for Matplotlib artists
================================

This example displays several of Matplotlib's graphics primitives (artists).
A full list of artists is documented at :ref:`the artist API <artist-api>`.

See also :doc:`/gallery/shapes_and_collections/patch_collection`, which groups
all artists into a single `.PatchCollection` instead.
