matplotlib.patches.FancyBboxPatch

class matplotlib.patches.FancyBboxPatch(xy, width, height, boxstyle='round', bbox_transmuter=<deprecated parameter>, mutation_scale=1, mutation_aspect=1, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

A fancy box around a rectangle with lower left at xy = (x, y) with specified width and height.

FancyBboxPatch is similar to Rectangle, but it draws a fancy box around the rectangle. The transformation of the rectangle box to the fancy box is delegated to the style classes defined in BoxStyle.

Parameters:

xyfloat, float The lower left corner of the box. widthfloat The width of the box. heightfloat The height of the box. boxstylestr or matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle The style of the fancy box. This can either be a BoxStyle instance or a string of the style name and optionally comma seprarated attributes (e.g. "Round, pad=0.2"). This string is passed to BoxStyle to construct a BoxStyle object. See there for a full documentation. The following box styles are available: Class Name Attrs Circle circle pad=0.3 DArrow darrow pad=0.3 LArrow larrow pad=0.3 RArrow rarrow pad=0.3 Round round pad=0.3, rounding_size=None Round4 round4 pad=0.3, rounding_size=None Roundtooth roundtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None Sawtooth sawtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None Square square pad=0.3 mutation_scalefloat, default: 1 Scaling factor applied to the attributes of the box style (e.g. pad or rounding_size). mutation_aspectfloat, default: 1 The height of the rectangle will be squeezed by this value before the mutation and the mutated box will be stretched by the inverse of it. For example, this allows different horizontal and vertical padding.

Other Parameters:

__module__ = 'matplotlib.patches'

__str__()[source]

Return str(self).

get_bbox()[source]

Return the Bbox.

get_boxstyle()[source]

Return the boxstyle object.

get_height()[source]

Return the height of the rectangle.

get_mutation_aspect()[source]

Return the aspect ratio of the bbox mutation.

get_mutation_scale()[source]

Return the mutation scale.

get_path()[source]

Return the mutated path of the rectangle.

get_width()[source]

Return the width of the rectangle.

get_x()[source]

Return the left coord of the rectangle.

get_y()[source]

Return the bottom coord of the rectangle.

set_bounds(*args)[source]

Set the bounds of the rectangle.

Call signatures:

set_bounds(left, bottom, width, height)
set_bounds((left, bottom, width, height))

Parameters:	left, bottomfloat The coordinates of the bottom left corner of the rectangle. width, heightfloat The width/height of the rectangle.

set_boxstyle(boxstyle=None, **kwargs)[source]

Set the box style.

Most box styles can be further configured using attributes. Attributes from the previous box style are not reused.

Without argument (or with boxstyle=None), the available box styles are returned as a human-readable string.

Parameters:

boxstylestr or matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle The style of the fancy box. This can either be a BoxStyle instance or a string of the style name and optionally comma seprarated attributes (e.g. "Round, pad=0.2"). This string is passed to BoxStyle to construct a BoxStyle object. See there for a full documentation. The following box styles are available: Class Name Attrs Circle circle pad=0.3 DArrow darrow pad=0.3 LArrow larrow pad=0.3 RArrow rarrow pad=0.3 Round round pad=0.3, rounding_size=None Round4 round4 pad=0.3, rounding_size=None Roundtooth roundtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None Sawtooth sawtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None Square square pad=0.3 **kwargs Additional attributes for the box style. See the table above for supported parameters.

Examples

set_boxstyle("round,pad=0.2")
set_boxstyle("round", pad=0.2)

set_height(h)[source]

Set the rectangle height.
