matplotlib.backends.backend_cairo
#
A Cairo backend for Matplotlib#
- Author:
Steve Chaplin and others
This backend depends on cairocffi or pycairo.
- matplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.FigureCanvas[source]#
alias of
FigureCanvasCairo
- classmatplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.FigureCanvasCairo(figure=None)[source]#
Bases:
FigureCanvasBase
- classmatplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.GraphicsContextCairo(renderer)[source]#
Bases:
GraphicsContextBase
- restore()[source]#
Restore the graphics context from the stack - needed onlyfor backends that save graphics contexts on a stack.
- set_alpha(alpha)[source]#
Set the alpha value used for blending - not supported on all backends.
If
alpha=None
(the default), the alpha components of theforeground and fill colors will be used to set their respectivetransparencies (where applicable); otherwise,alpha
will overridethem.
- set_capstyle(cs)[source]#
Set how to draw endpoints of lines.
- Parameters:
- cs
CapStyle
or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}
- cs
- set_clip_path(path)[source]#
Set the clip path to a
TransformedPath
or None.
- set_dashes(offset,dashes)[source]#
Set the dash style for the gc.
- Parameters:
- dash_offsetfloat
Distance, in points, into the dash pattern at which tostart the pattern. It is usually set to 0.
- dash_listarray-like or None
The on-off sequence as points. None specifies a solid line. Allvalues must otherwise be non-negative (\(\ge 0\)).
Notes
See p. 666 of the PostScriptLanguage Referencefor more info.
- set_foreground(fg,isRGBA=None)[source]#
Set the foreground color.
- Parameters:
- fgcolor
- isRGBAbool
Iffg is known to be an
(r,g,b,a)
tuple,isRGBA can beset to True to improve performance.
- classmatplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.RendererCairo(dpi)[source]#
Bases:
RendererBase
- draw_image(gc,x,y,im)[source]#
Draw an RGBA image.
- Parameters:
- gc
GraphicsContextBase
A graphics context with clipping information.
- xfloat
The distance in physical units (i.e., dots or pixels) from the lefthand side of the canvas.
- yfloat
The distance in physical units (i.e., dots or pixels) from thebottom side of the canvas.
- im(N, M, 4) array of
numpy.uint8
An array of RGBA pixels.
- transform
Affine2DBase
If and only if the concrete backend is written such that
option_scale_image
returnsTrue
, an affine transformation(i.e., anAffine2DBase
)may be passed todraw_image
. Thetranslation vector of the transformation is given in physical units(i.e., dots or pixels). Note that the transformation does notoverridex andy, and has to be appliedbefore translatingthe result byx andy (this can be accomplished by addingxandy to the translation vector defined bytransform).
- gc
- draw_markers(gc,marker_path,marker_trans,path,transform,rgbFace=None)[source]#
Draw a marker at each ofpath's vertices (excluding control points).
The base (fallback) implementation makes multiple calls to
draw_path
.Backends may want to override this method in order to draw the markeronly once and reuse it multiple times.
- draw_path(gc,path,transform,rgbFace=None)[source]#
Draw a
Path
instance using the given affine transform.
- draw_text(gc,x,y,s,prop,angle,ismath=False,mtext=None)[source]#
Draw a text instance.
- Parameters:
- gc
GraphicsContextBase
The graphics context.
- xfloat
The x location of the text in display coords.
- yfloat
The y location of the text baseline in display coords.
- sstr
The text string.
- prop
FontProperties
The font properties.
- anglefloat
The rotation angle in degrees anti-clockwise.
- ismathbool or "TeX"
If True, use mathtext parser.
- mtext
Text
The original text object to be rendered.
- gc
Notes
Notes for backend implementers:
RendererBase.draw_text
also supports passing "TeX" to theismathparameter to use TeX rendering, but this is not required for actualrendering backends, and indeed many builtin backends do not supportthis. Rather, TeX rendering is provided bydraw_tex
.
- get_text_width_height_descent(s,prop,ismath)[source]#
Get the width, height, and descent (offset from the bottom to the baseline), indisplay coords, of the strings with
FontProperties
prop.Whitespace at the start and the end ofs is included in the reported width.
- new_gc()[source]#
Return an instance of a
GraphicsContextBase
.
- points_to_pixels(points)[source]#
Convert points to display units.
You need to override this function (unless your backenddoesn't have a dpi, e.g., postscript or svg). Some imagingsystems assume some value for pixels per inch:
pointstopixels=points*pixels_per_inch/72*dpi/72
- Parameters:
- pointsfloat or array-like
- Returns:
- Points converted to pixels
