matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon

class matplotlib.patches.RegularPolygon(xy, numVertices, radius=5, orientation=0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.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 alpha scalar or None animated bool antialiased or aa unknown capstyle CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'} clip_box Bbox clip_on bool clip_path Patch or (Path, Transform) or None color color contains unknown edgecolor or ec color or None or 'auto' facecolor or fc color or None figure Figure fill bool gid str hatch {'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'} in_layout bool joinstyle JoinStyle or {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'} label object linestyle or ls {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...} linewidth or lw float or None path_effects AbstractPathEffect 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

__module__ = 'matplotlib.patches'

__str__()[source]

Return str(self).

get_patch_transform()[source]

Return the Transform instance mapping patch coordinates to data coordinates.

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

get_path()[source]

Return the path of this patch.
