matplotlib.patches.StepPatch

classmatplotlib.patches.StepPatch(values, edges, *, orientation='vertical', baseline=0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.PathPatch

A path patch describing a stepwise constant function.

By default the path is not closed and starts and stops at baseline value.

Parameters
valuesarray-like

The step heights.

edgesarray-like

The edge positions, with len(edges) == len(vals) + 1, between which the curve takes on vals values.

orientation{'vertical', 'horizontal'}, default: 'vertical'

The direction of the steps. Vertical means that values are along the y-axis, and edges are along the x-axis.

baselinefloat, array-like or None, default: 0

The bottom value of the bounding edges or when fill=True, position of lower edge. If fill is True or an array is passed to baseline, a closed path is drawn.
