matplotlib.patches.Circle

class matplotlib.patches.Circle(xy, radius=5, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Ellipse

A circle patch.

Create true circle at center xy = (x, y) with given radius. Unlike CirclePolygon which is a polygonal approximation, this uses Bezier splines and is much closer to a scale-free circle.

Valid kwargs are:

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 float or None
animated bool
antialiased or aa unknown
capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'}
clip_box Bbox
clip_on bool
clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]

linewidth or lw float or None
path_effects AbstractPathEffect
picker None or bool or float or callable
rasterized bool or None
sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)
snap bool or None
transform Transform
url str
visible bool
zorder float
get_radius(self) [source]

Return the radius of the circle

radius
