xarray (any iterable object returning floats) – sequence of points for the x coordinates
yarray (any iterable object returning floats) – sequence of points for the y coordinates
closed (boolean) – if True, the polygon will be closed so that the starting and ending points are the same.
The draw_polygon function can take keyword arguments to modify the properties of the polygon as follows. Any unknown keyword arguments are ignored.
coord_system (integer) – 0 = figure coordinates, 1 = data coordinates. Default is figure coordinates.
redraw (boolean) – whether or not to redraw the figure after adding the artist to it. Useful when adding many artists at a time, to reduce screen flicker.
edgecolor (string) – color of the edge, given as a hex code, as in “#00FF00”. Common color names may also be given; for example, “red”.
fillcolor (string) – color of the fill inside the polygon, given as a hex code, as in “#00FF00”. Common color names may also be given; for example, “red”. Can be ‘None’ for no fill.
linewidth (integer) – width of the line in points (1/72 of an inch)
linestyle (string) – style of the line. Can be one of ‘solid’,’dashed’,’dash_dot’,’dotted’, or ‘None’, which means not to draw the line.
alpha (float) – transparency of the polygon. Can be 0.0 to 1.0, with zero being transparent, and 1 being opaque.
an artist that represents the polygon.
An artist can always be removed from the graph by calling its remove() method.
get_all_results()¶Gets a list of all results plotted on a graph.
a list of Result objects.
get_properties()¶gets the full property object for the graph. All properties are here, but are not documented, unfortunately. If there is some property of the graph that you would like to change that is not accessible through the regular API’s, contact the author. Alternatively, use Python’s introspection capability to look into the properties object.
get_title()¶gets the title of the graph
the title of the graph (string)
hardcopy(interactive=False)¶prints the graph to the printer.
interactive (bool) – If set to True, the user will be presented with a dialog to select the printer. Otherwise, the printout goes directly to the default printer.
redraw()¶Redraws the graph.
remove_result(r)¶Removes a computed result from a graph.
r – the result object to remove.
save_as(filename)¶saves the graph as an external image or vector format file (PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, SVG, etc.). The format is deduced from the name of the file.
filename (string) – The name of the file to save.
set_axis_extents(axis, extents)¶sets the extent of a particular axis.
axis (string) – which axis to set. Can be ‘x1’, ‘x2’, or ‘y’. For convenience, ‘x’ can be used in place of ‘x1’, and ‘z’ may be used in the place of ‘y’.
extents (tuple of two floats) – the min and max of the axis extent. Should be a tuple of two floating point numbers.
True if successful, False if not.
set_axis_label(axis, label)¶sets the axis label
axis (string) – which axis to label. Can be ‘x1’, ‘x2’, or ‘y’. For convenience, ‘x’ can be used in place of ‘x1’, and ‘z’ may be used in the place of ‘y’.
label (string) – a text string to change the label to; mathtext in the string is also valid.
True if successful, False if not.
set_properties(p)¶sets the full property object for the graph. This sets all properties.
p – a full graph property object
set_title(title)¶changes the title of the graph
title (string) – text string to change the title to; mathtext in the string is also valid.
True if successful, False if not.
title¶gets the title of the graph
the title of the graph (string)
