matplotlib.patches.PathPatch

class matplotlib.patches.PathPatch(path, **kwargs)

Bases: Patch

A general polycurve path patch.

path is a Path object.

Valid keyword arguments 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 and two offsets from the bottom left corner of the image
alpha	unknown
animated	bool
antialiased or aa	bool or None
capstyle	CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}
clip_box	Bbox
clip_on	bool
clip_path	Patch or (Path, Transform) or None
color	color
edgecolor or ec	color or None
facecolor or fc	color or None
figure	Figure
fill	bool
gid	str
hatch	{'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'}
in_layout	bool
joinstyle	JoinStyle or {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}
label	object
linestyle or ls	{'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...}
linewidth or lw	float or None
mouseover	bool
path_effects	AbstractPathEffect
picker	None or bool or float or callable
rasterized	bool
sketch_params	(scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)
snap	bool or None
transform	Transform
url	str
visible	bool
zorder	float
