matplotlib.pyplot.stairs#

matplotlib.pyplot.stairs(values, edges=None, *, orientation='vertical', baseline=0, fill=False, data=None, **kwargs)[source]#

A stepwise constant function as a line with bounding edges or a filled plot.

Parameters:

valuesarray-like: The step heights.
edgesarray-like: The edge positions, with len(edges) == len(vals) + 1, between which the curve takes on vals values.
orientation{'vertical', 'horizontal'}, default: 'vertical': The direction of the steps. Vertical means that values are along the y-axis, and edges are along the x-axis.
baselinefloat, array-like or None, default: 0: The bottom value of the bounding edges or when fill=True, position of lower edge. If fill is True or an array is passed to baseline, a closed path is drawn.
fillbool, default: False: Whether the area under the step curve should be filled.

Returns:

Other Parameters:

dataindexable object, optional: If given, all parameters also accept a string s, which is interpreted as data[s] (unless this raises an exception).
**kwargs: StepPatch properties
