matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon#

classmatplotlib.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
alpha	unknown
animated	bool
antialiased oraa	bool or None
capstyle	CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}
clip_box	BboxBase or None
clip_on	bool
clip_path	Patch or (Path, Transform) or None
color	color
edgecolor orec	color or None
facecolor orfc	color or None
figure	Figure orSubFigure
fill	bool
gid	str
hatch	{'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'}
hatch_linewidth	unknown
hatchcolor	color or 'edge' or None
in_layout	bool
joinstyle	JoinStyle or {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}
label	object
linestyle orls	{'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...}
linewidth orlw	float or None
mouseover	bool
path_effects	list ofAbstractPathEffect
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

get_patch_transform()[source]#

Return theTransform instance mapping patch coordinatesto data coordinates.

For example, one may define a patch of a circle which represents aradius of 5 by providing coordinates for a unit circle, and atransform which scales the coordinates (the patch coordinate) by 5.

get_path()[source]#

Return the path of this patch.
