matplotlib.patches.Polygon

classmatplotlib.patches.Polygon(xy, closed=True, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

A general polygon patch.

xy is a numpy array with shape Nx2.

If closed is True, the polygon will be closed so the starting and ending points are the same.

Valid keyword arguments are:

Returns
(N, 2) numpy array

zorder

float

set_closed(closed)[source]

Set whether the polygon is closed.

Parameters
closedbool

True if the polygon is closed

set_xy(xy)[source]

Set the vertices of the polygon.

Parameters
xy(N, 2) array-like

The coordinates of the vertices.

Notes

Unlike Path, we do not ignore the last input vertex. If the polygon is meant to be closed, and the last point of the polygon is not equal to the first, we assume that the user has not explicitly passed a CLOSEPOLY vertex, and add it ourselves.

propertyxy

The vertices of the path as (N, 2) numpy array.
