matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon#

class matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon(xy, numVertices, *, radius=5, orientation=0, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Patch

A regular polygon patch.

Parameters:
xy(float, float)

The center position.

numVerticesint

The number of vertices.

radiusfloat

The distance from the center to each of the vertices.

orientationfloat

The polygon rotation angle (in radians).

**kwargs

Patch properties:

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 and two offsets from the bottom left corner of the image

antialiased or aa

bool or None

get_patch_transform()[source]#

Return the Transform instance mapping 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.
