matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle#

classmatplotlib.patches.BoxStyle(stylename,**kwargs)[source]#

Bases:_Style

BoxStyle is a container class which defines severalboxstyle classes, which are used forFancyBboxPatch.

A style object can be created as:

BoxStyle.Round(pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round",pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round, pad=0.2")

The following boxstyle classes are defined.

Class	Name	Parameters
Square	square	pad=0.3
Circle	circle	pad=0.3
Ellipse	ellipse	pad=0.3
LArrow	larrow	pad=0.3
RArrow	rarrow	pad=0.3
DArrow	darrow	pad=0.3
Round	round	pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Round4	round4	pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Sawtooth	sawtooth	pad=0.3, tooth_size=None
Roundtooth	roundtooth	pad=0.3, tooth_size=None

An instance of a boxstyle class is a callable object, with the signature

__call__(self,x0,y0,width,height,mutation_size)->Path

x0,y0,width andheight specify the location and size of the boxto be drawn;mutation_size scales the outline properties such as padding.

Return the instance of the subclass with the given style name.
