matplotlib.artist.Artist.set_clip_path

Artist.set_clip_path(self, path, transform=None) [source]

Set the artist's clip path, which may be:

• a Patch (or subclass) instance; or
• a Path instance, in which case a Transform instance, which will be applied to the path before using it for clipping, must be provided; or
• None, to remove a previously set clipping path.

For efficiency, if the path happens to be an axis-aligned rectangle, this method will set the clipping box to the corresponding rectangle and set the clipping path to None.

ACCEPTS: [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]
